SOOOO Glad I got the Vizo Vtab. The screen is sharp and the darn thing is fast. OH and lets see , what did I pay here on woot for it ?
Ah yes $159.99 Will take it over a Dell POS any day.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! Never ever ever again will I buy Dell. I bought the streak when it first came out. Support in India. Never updated OS. Sent updates to UK and Japan and INdia before US ever go it. 16 months later Dell announces they are bailing out of the phone/tablet market. Could not understand anyone in India.
Never ever ever again! Read posted reviews online on Dell Streak 5 and how aweful it was!

Reading. It's fun(damental).
"AT&T has issues with the tablet, they want to put it on their $60 data plan. The network won't allow it to be on a tablet plan for some reason."
If you TELL you have a tablet, AT&T will have an issue. If you have any type of data plan your SIM will work.

if it was form AT&T, i was sure it was ok (iPad teste already)..but from T-Mobile...I don't know.....
You must get an unlock code from Dell Support. Once ulocked, the Streak will work with any data enabled GSM SIM. It will not work with CDMA.
Hey check it out:
That's a price drop, again!
Also, another drop on Sellout which I did not mention earlier, my mistake:
It's now $139.
Awesome Woot! Still not buying it, but good job dropping the price.
Way To Go with the extra price drops, Woot!
Just put these in the next Bandolier, then the crap winners can sell them for $20 on ebay.
I got one shortly after it launched (4G version). Never have I had a bigger piece of crap electronic device.
The screen angles are terrible, the battery life is pathetic and the software updates from Dell are non-existent. It's as if they released it and discontinued it in one stroke.
If you've used a Galaxy or any flavor iPad, you will hate using this. It has sat on my desk for over a year now.
I see there are some links for Ice Cream Sandwich. I might install that and see how it fares because with the default 2.something, it stinks!
Oh and by the way I got it from Dell at the time for next to nothing because of some credits and some gift cards I had gotten. Otherwise, I wouldn't even pay $99 for this. Steer clear of this and get a Kindle Fire or Nook Color.
A NEW Blackberry Playbook 7-Inch Tablet (16GB)that blows this tablet away in every way sells for about $200.

Wow you guys are really trying to get rid of these things, aren't you? We're getting closer to HP Touchpad firesale prices now.
There must be a TON of them.

Maybe so, but not with 3G. I'm not sure there's a 3G/4G tablet anywhere in the market for the price close to this one.
Not bad, but for me these would have to be closer to the 99$ range, 180 for a dead and referb item is a bit to much.
I'd bet they would fly off the shelves @ 99 but i wont give up hope :3
I own one of these. Dell GAVE me one as I was testing them out to see if my school wanted to go all iPads or all Android devices. This is actually one of the most restrictive, and least useful Android devices out there (And I am an Andorid fan, actually kind of hate Apple products.) I would say if it were $100 buy it, anything more and it isn't worth it. Samsung Galaxy is what you really want.
This review is awfully old. I have a streak I bought from Dell a few weeks ago and it does not have anything to do with the review.
I use this tablet every day and I love it. Battery lasts about 3 to 4 hours, so definitely buy the longer charge cable Off Amazon. The included cable is too short to use the tablet whilst plugged in. And its upgraded to honeycomb.
This is probably the worst tablet ever made. I purchased one in August and I have had to send it in 5 times for repair. There is something designed poorly in the charging port and when you plug in the charging cord, it thinks that you are hooking it up to the docking station and it will not charge.
Dell will not refund my money or replace the table with a newer version. My experience with Dell has been the absolute worst. I will never buy another Dell product and I advice you to not buy one as well.
I want to say that I love Woot but I have to advice that you do not buy this product unless it is less than $100 dollars because it might work a year but it might fail immediately out of the box. Sorry Woot, I have to tell the truth about this.
I dumped Verizon and Sprint months ago, and have had excellent luck with T-Mobile.
Some more info on the streak, including recoveries stock/custom roms etc http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395967
Dell Streak 7 known for Read Only problems.
I have two that end up with read only ie..
- battery drain (Out of power when you are still using it)
- SD card removal when it still writing
And the battery life is so poor only last less than 4 hours.
GPS drain battery a LOT, when GPS on the battery only last 2 hour or less.
here is the link that explain the problem.
The only way to repair it by sending it to dell.
It took me 6 weeks to get it back.

It's not new at all. The other day, that glowing helicopter deal on Kids.Woot also had a price drop.
Well, even with the new price...I'd still rather go with the Kindle Fire. And let's compare apple-to-apple (refurb-to-refurb). The Kindle Fire Refurbed officially by Amazon is $169... And we all know if we put Amazon's customer service versus Dell, who would win...
No, I have one without the sim card in and it works fin over the WIFI.
I have one I got on ebay, the T-Mobile 4G version. You don't need a SIM card, it works over WIFI fine.
- You DO need an SD card, or adapter as it doesn't take an mico-SD like the phones.
- The screen quality isn't fantastic, and it is from a couple years ago. It displays fine though.
- NO ICE CREAM SANDWICH, as it only has 512M RAM. Also there is no official upgrade to Honeycomb for the T-Mobile model either.
- Has some weight, but it doesn't bother me.
- The camera is TERRIBLE!! The flash isn't good either.
I'm happy with mine, though it's not a first choice. I just use it to read books, check the internet and emails, and maybe view some pics. Could also video chat, just haven't gotten there.
clanecks wrote:Terrible deal. Dell had been trying to get rid of their old stock of these tablets for a long time now. As other users have mentioned, it has atrocious screen quality. To put in perspective, newer cell phones with 4 inch screens pack more pixels (higher resolution) than this tablet. Here are some reviews from reputable sites :
In summary, the best thing about this tablet is flash-enabled camera, Tegra 2 processor, and storage.
Almost all reviews found screen quality and sensitivity to be lacking. Considering how important screen is to the quintessential tablet experience, be very careful about this issue.
And for the user who is a bit confused about ICS, it is designed to be a universal OS a la iOS. While technically it is true that HC is specifically designed for tablet, and that ICS is for both, ICS is still a superior OS for both tablets and phones.
Lastly, Dell will no longer provide updates for Streak products.
The Engadget review surprisingly reported the processor was downclocked to 800MHz but other folks seem to still report a battery short life issue before it needs to be recharged.
Engadget quote:
"Oddly, the device indicates that the processor is downclocked to about 800MHz, and Dell tells us that it downclocks to conserve power."

I couldn't have said it better myself. The savings off the Dell Streak cannot compare to the grief you would have to go through for Dell Customer support in case you need any assistance. My experience with Amazon is 1000 times better than Dell. Woot's Customer service is aces in my book as well.
I saw the price drop here on Woot and Sellout.woot, and these things could drop to 100 bucks each, and they would still not be a worth it.
I have a Kindle Fire, and I love it. I got it for $139 when Amazon had it for their Goldbox Deal of the day.

I have no idea really, I just report the good news as I get it.
I'm noticing that there a Lot of 7" tablets out there right now...as low as $100 (at Big Lots!) so I think there are some Changes Coming Soon, if the market is being flooded with so many cheapies.
Still....I do like my Samsung Galaxy Tab 5" that I got Here last Sept!
Just bought the 1st gen iPad 16gb WiFi for $211 with tax and delivery from Best Buy,used but with all accessories and looks almost new.

I agree complete. T-Mobile has been fantastic for me. I switched FROM Verizon and have absolutely ZERO desire to go back. As for this tab? .... I'll wait for the Nexus or MeMo (whichever happens to release).
I mentioned this on Sellout's deals.woot entry, but I'll mention it here too.
For those concerned about battery life, because this unit charges off USB you can use a USB battery extender to boost your battery life by the order of an hour, at least. (2.78Ah internal + 1.8Ah booster avg. = 4.58Ah total)
Woot occasionally sells the things. Go forth, be merry, and have the POWER!

BUT be aware that a version of this tablet without 3G (Wifi-only) is currently also for sale by Woot at a cheaper price. If you never want to use 3G that's probably a better option.
I've had a Streak 5 for almost a year and a half, no major issues. And my battery life has also been decent. It was a nice substitute for high speed gymnastics in crowded airplanes so I could watch part of a movie on a 2 hour flight - laptops can be a pain if you don't plan on keeping them out for a decent period of time.
As long as you don't actually have to deal with Dell, it's not bad. I got mine for $99 when it was time to extend my contract. I'll probably be switching carriers/phones once this year runs out, but all in all it's still a nifty gizmo. And more durable than my Kindle, too.
FYI, for those that care about T-Mobile's "4G" service, Time Magazine published a speed test conducted by PC World for major wireless service providers yesterday, link below:
To summarize, T-Mobile came in third in "4G" but first in 3G. 4G is in parenthesis because T-Mobile's 4G is not true 4G, but enhanced 3G.

Just an FYI, I thought I could pop my Tmobile sim in it and use my phone's data plan but that is not the case, you need to use a sim that is activated for tablets on Tmobile.
Thank you for saving me from a $185 experiment gone wrong. I wanted to use this with my $30/mo 5gb T-mobile sim card and be able to use the hotspot capability of the Dell. Should have realized that would be too good to be true.
In my 3 or so year history with Woot, I don't think I've ever seen so many negative comments about a product; this thing must really suck.
Has Woot! ever dropped prices before on an item during it's 1-day offering? Odd!
I own one of these. It's dreadful. It was constantly locking up. Sometimes when I would get it to turn back on it would have lost some of my accounts and I would have to put the info back in again. For things like email, Twitter and Facebook it was annoying but not really a big deal. For the Kindle app it was extremely frustrating because I would have to redownload books.
I broke down and bought an Apple refurb iPad and love it. I so wish I hadn't wasted $250 on this thing which hasn't been touched since a week or so after buying the iPad.
Oh, and the camera on it stinks!

Donnie Rodgers, Jr., is settling in at his new job as assistant director of Downtown Lee's Summit Main Street Inc.
Rodgers has been attending committee meetings, digging out from under the snow and generally learning about the community. He started work Feb. 3.
He said he had met Executive Director Trisha Drape and other DLSMS staff at Main Street events and visited Lee's Summit during conference a few years ago in Kansas City.
Knowing the excellence of the organization and the community, he applied when the position opened.
"I've always been impressed by the work they've done," Rodgers said.
Rodgers for the past five years had served as Community Development Coordinator for the Urban Districts Alliance in Springfield.
That city, the third largest in Missouri, has a population of about 160,000 or 400,000 when including smaller surrounding towns, he said, and the Urban Districts Alliance served three distinct historic areas of the city.
There he worked on branding for one of those business districts. He also was staff liaison and manager for the Commercial Street Community Improvement District. It helped provide maintenance such as trash pickup and some additional security for that area, he said.
"Donnie is the perfect fit for Downtown Lee's Summit Main Street and this community," Drape said in a written statement. "He possesses the skills and experience needed to continue the growth and success we are seeing in Downtown Lee's Summit."
Rodgers coordinated all print, electronic and social media for the alliance. He also worked with the city on small business development and served on the Responsible Hospitality Panel and the Convention and Visitors Bureau Public Relations Advisory Committee.
Rodgers is a 2006 graduate of Drury University with a bachelor's degree in architecture and minors in Global Studies and Art History. He is near finishing a master's degree in Community Development from Kansas State University.
Rodgers is single, owns two mutts "completely unidentifiable" as any breed (he was a member of a dog-rescue organization in Springfield) and enjoys taking pictures of historic buildings and places.
"I'm looking forward to exploring Lee's Summit and the greater metro area," Rodgers said.
Rodgers said his early impression is that Lee's Summit has great opportunity to add residential units through infill development downtown, which would support businesses.
He said as an outsider observing Lee's Summit, along with friends and acquaintances, that everyone mentions Lee's Summit's downtown as giving it a "sense of place, a sense of identity" that differentiates it from other area suburbs.
"It really sets Lee's Summit apart," he said.

Building a new life
The Not Just Ned exhibition developed by the National Museum of Australia features objects which help to tell a story of the Irish building new lives in Australia in fields including politics, religion, education and the arts.
In 1888 Irish-born journalist James Francis Hogan felt that his countrymen and women had created a 'New Ireland in Australia'. But the truth was much more complex.
Eighty percent of the Irish emigrants in Australia were Catholic and they faced prejudice for their religious views, support of Irish nationalism and a separate school system.
Stories featured here include that of Eureka leader Peter Lalor, the Kelly gang, the Fenian political prisoners rescued from Fremantle, outspoken archbishop Daniel Mannix, prime minister Ben Chifley and poet Vincent Buckley.

Irishman Michael Dwyer was one of the rebels from the 1798 Rebellion who was exiled to Australia.
Known as the 'Wicklow Chief', Dwyer had great support among the ordinary people of County Wicklow. Despite many forceful house-to-house searches in the area, and the harassment of his relatives, he was never betrayed. He surrendered himself to magistrate William Hume in December 1803.
Despite his enthusiastic involvement in the armed rebellion, once he had served his sentence in Australia, Dwyer became a police constable. He never returned to Ireland.
Dwyer is buried with his wife, Mary, underneath the 1798 Memorial at Wavereley Cemetery in Sydney.

Articles on current engineering materials management optimization problem within the environment are briefly explored and put forward a sound procurement management system, optimize the materials program management, material quality control system, establish a sound material suppliers, database files and price information, establishment of computer management system, establish mechanisms for evaluation and incentive measures.
Keywords: engineering company; materials management; internal environment
CLC number: F540 Abstract: A
Article ID :1674-1145 (2009) 27-0019-02
Materials management is a construction project cost management is an important component of high and low levels of materials management will directly affect the cost of construction enterprises and profit. In business management more scientific, standardized, maximizing the economic benefits the new situation, increasingly fierce competition among enterprises, to materials management are also put forward higher requirements on the optimization of internal management of the environment, it must be according to actual needs, and gradually improve the purchase, transportation, inspection, storage, distribution and recycling sectors, for materials, procurement management, supplier management, materials management process in the production of consumption of the effective use of control methods provide a good operating environment for enterprises to achieve the intended goal of lay the foundation.
First, a professional centralized, classified management, procurement management system
1. Improve the materials management system. In order to meet changing market needs, engineering companies should enact 'materials management approach', 'materials, bidding and purchasing methods', 'on-site material management practices' and other rules and regulations. Reinforced materials, centralized management, classification and grading operation is responsible for all aspects of materials, making each department rules to follow.
2. To establish a rational material procurement budget planning. Engineering company's financial department, engineering department and engineering implementation of sectoral communication and coordination should be reasonable and timely dissemination of information to develop a reasonable consumption of materials engineering stage. Engineering Company for the purchase plan to provide scientific data; for a reasonable choice of suppliers to provide information; for the project in a timely manner on the material consumption for the production of feed-forward control and rear provide a basis for feed-forward control.
3. Strictly regulate the examination and approval system for procuring materials. In general, the procurement approval system of the perfect performance of the business has a positive impact. Engineering audit of procurement operations carried out under the following steps:
(1) The procurement of pre-audit. Purchaser in the preparation of materials, procurement plan, indicating the name of each material, the supplier of the purchase price and the rate of tax etc. along with the presentation of technical and financial sectors. The financial sector based on available information, the price of materials, plans to purchase a careful balance between the amount of comparison; technology sector is on the material properties, ratio of cases to be identified. Then the two departments work together, using qualitative or quantitative method to determine a definite option. If the declaration in line with options, then stamped 'review' chapter. On the contrary, proposed to improve the program or deny that the procurement plan. Reported that the relevant manager for final approval, plan approval can not be implemented.
(2) the inspection of cargo to the post. Clerk is responsible for checking materials procurement planning, contracts, quality certification, notes and other documents. Name not found, the quality improperly, quantity short of the actual to the exfactory sales price higher than the approval of the situation, the right to reject and report. Fail to meet quality requirements of materials, according to the provisions dealing with the implementation of return or discount. The means of preventing the implementation of the plan process in the 'high prices and poor quality' problems.
(3) settlement of bills before the audit. Accounting personnel and vote on the single audit storage register after the audit is correct stamping of financial chapter, shall be reported to the relevant manager for signature.
(4) require every buyer should have a corporate business records, manual handling of their business, including supply unit name, material name, price, quality, payment methods and other detailed records should be 11, once problems are detected, they can be traced back to the person responsible.
4. To strengthen the internal containment material procurement mechanisms. Containment refers to the internal departments, employees and between employees and jobs created by the mutual authentication and mutual constraints between enterprise internal control system are an important component. Is divided into specific institutional constraints, procedures and responsibilities of containment to contain. (1) institutional constraints. Organizational control is the basis for control of internal control is the control of other key to the success and effective. (2) program to contain. Focus on process control, the key is to observe the organization within the containment design, the separation of incompatible duties, in order to prevent errors, especially in the occurrence of fraud. (3) responsibility to contain, take the corresponding responsibility for internal control. Material procurement mechanisms to strengthen the internal constraint is the constraint from the system, procedures to contain the responsibility to contain these three clear at all levels of authority and duties of the officers to stop a variety of black-box operations.
5. Combination of market conditions, scientific and rational use of procurement management. Engineering company in the implementation of the procurement process should be implemented pairs of buyer procurement systems. Responsibility for quality inspection system and the procurement system, phase separation, separation of procurement and pricing system. Consistent with the characteristics of the formation of efficiency-seeking enterprises to maximize the price of self-control, joint and control mechanisms.
Second, the implementation of the characteristics of materials, adapt to market construction program management approach
Engineering units of the construction project should be based on the progress of proposed projects in various stages of construction materials used in general program application form. Implementation should be an annual, semi-annual plan for the forecast, quarterly, month program, based on the event of design changes, such as immediate suspension of work or prepare an additional reductions planned for the phased plan to add management. At the same time, in order to adapt to the changing situation in the construction of production, the existing material scheme can shorten the preparation cycle, increasing the size frequency, the implementation of dynamic management. To improve the accuracy of plans to require all aspects of planning staff attention to the collection of information, analysis, forecasting materials, market conditions, improve enterprise's regulatory capacity, rapid response capacity, in close coordination among various departments. Materials, preparation of the plan the implementation of the financial department, technical departments, planning departments, engineering departments will coordinate with the implementation of the results. Therefore, to achieve material plans for completeness, accuracy, timeliness and predictability, project implementation department should be strengthened and technology, planning departments, financial sector collaboration. Materials plans to order construction plans as the basis, construction technology sector of the stock preparation program based on progress and keep abreast of construction project information, timely adjustment of material changes to plans, while the Ministry of Planning of engineering materials response program is responsible for the timeliness and accuracy. Collaboration among various departments responsible for their own joint program to improve the usefulness of materials.
Third, improve the quality of materials control system
Engineering company to seriously implement the quality and accountability, strengthening quality management foundation work, a sound quality management system. The establishment of mutual convergence, mutual coordination and restraint of material procurement procedures, in accordance with working procedures of operation, inspection and examination; press materials, standardization of procurement, program management requirements, focus on the implementation of materials, inspection systems and traceability system; in the material plan, procurement, inspection, storage and other sectors to implement the quality system standard positions and responsibilities of the people, so that the work record, evidence-based assessment. Strengthening quality management and project information on the basis of the Department work to ensure the quality of engineering materials procurement.
Fourth, establish a sound material suppliers file
1. A reasonable choice of suppliers. In order to ensure that supplier selection is reasonable, should be established vendor specific files. Contents of the file should include the following elements: supplier's location, management capacity, financial capacity, equipment and technical capacity, on-time delivery, product quality, reputation and status of the industry and service standards. Then, based on the establishment of files, a reasonable use of the existing information and establish appropriate indicators of the enterprise systems, suppliers to the scientific and comprehensive evaluation. As the importance of these indicators, companies usually pay attention to reasonable maintenance of the vendor files, regularly updated file of vendors.
2. Using ABC classification method, the rational management of suppliers. The establishment of vendor files, the works According to the supplier company can do business with this company the amount of funds and related information, supplier classification. For different types of vendors using different management methods, so that is conducive to business to save the human, material and financial resources.
3. Optimize the structure of the enterprise vendors. Engineering companies to optimize the supplier system, the implementation of the A class suppliers to establish long-term cooperation, mutual-wing mutually beneficial relationship; pairs B, C category vendors with appropriate introduction of new suppliers and maintain an appropriate degree of competition, survival of the fittest. This is conducive to grasp the dynamics of the market to ensure the supply of materials at competitive prices.
Fifth, the establishment of the price information database
First, the engineering company from top to bottom of the procurement system should be established. Material procurement departments should have the material procurement information center. Will conduct an extensive collection of market information in a timely manner to engineering projects under the company issued by the Ministry of information, so that corporate resources are shared. Secondly, the project department but also in locally extensive and detailed resource survey to find out local materials supply capacity, demand, price, transport distance, transport capacity, and seasonal changes on the supply and price fluctuations affect the ability of the law. Again, through the network of information, publications and other media to gather information in order to enrich the purchasing department of the Information Center database; also be posted by the company personnel to focus on project construction, the feedback from price changes in the construction area of information and relevant preferential policies. Information collected by the multilateral import database to provide proof to the price group, demonstrated by screening and the overall balance of the purchase price set out the current for each project procurement staff and related departments. This work will be able to share the procurement and supply on the basis of reliable sources to avoid the blind purchase, but also for procurement and pricing systems laid the foundation for the separation of the mechanism.
6, the establishment of computer management system
The use of modern computer management system to enhance materials management, achieved through the two systems, one is material price system, and the other is on-site material management system. Materials management system includes three parts: material price collection, analysis and query. Acquisition system is based on engineering industry characteristics of statistical methods to develop multi-material prices through market research, field procurement method to collect information on a variety of materials, keep records of all kinds of information. Analysis system is the collection of material prices branch established method, statistical analysis derived materials weighted average price (or market price), and provides a variety of materials, classification management, and enterprise-related personnel to provide a reliable and accurate price information. Query system to achieve material remote retrieval of data, and added some auxiliary functions. These include material price inquiries, new materials releases, public information, search engines and message boards.
On-site materials management system includes data collection, query, statistics and other functions. Acquisition of the materials management system is mainly to complete the data entry work. These include: input monthly storage lists, Chu Kudan, material value of single-plate entry points. Query system is mainly to complete the year of the data query functions. These include: Query expenditure accounts, revenue accounts, and check material balance (either a material balance check number), checking the price list, checking department code, and check supply unit (check either a material supply unit).
7, the establishment of assessment and incentive mechanism
In engineering the company's materials management process, we should establish a strict examination and incentive mechanisms, a summary assessment on a regular basis.

Annamayya ranks among the immortal names in Telugu literature and religion.He was a legend, a poet whose muse was Balaji, the lord of the seven hills. Annamayya did marry two women, his own nieces.More factually, Annamayya was the court poet of Narasimha Raya of the Penukonda satrapy. On being appointed court poet, was asked to come up with a ditty celebrating his earthly patron — and promptly refused. When you refuse a king, you get bunged in prison, which is where the saintly poet found himself — till the ubiquitous Balaji intervened, in miraculous fashion, to procure his release. The king not only repented but, to no one's surprise, became a staunch devotee of the patron deity of Tirupathi.

T56 6 Speed wont go into gear
Long time no post on here for me. Got a new problem to hit yall with. I got a buddy who has a 99 Trans Am with a very very healthy built LS1. Not sure of power output but the car runs high 10's. Anyway, he is starting to have some tranny issues. As stated its a T56 6 Speed and has had some work done inside to hold the power and clutch is a racing clutch. The problem is that it was having trouble going into first and shifting early in the morning on first start up, then after driving it shifts fine. THERE IS NO GRINDING ON SHIFTS! Just wanted to say again it does not grind when shifting it just doesn't like going into gear. Now today he called me and said that it wont go into reverses at all now, and when it is in gear and the clutch to the floor it wants to creep forward. Also he was having a soft pedal on start up and would go back to normal after driving a few miles. Now I am not failure with manuals at all and was thinking maybe the linkage is outa wack? Not sure what its like to have a clutch go out (I would think a lot of grinding) so I am really no help to him with this, so I am turning to you guys to see if someone might know what it could be. Thanks in advance.
If it is creeping with the clutch to the floor he has a clutch problem not a transmission problem. If adjusting the clutch does not help it will need to be replaced.
John L
I knew the creeping problem was clutch related, I was stating it as a supplemental problem and to help aid suggestions of what it could be and if possibly the two problems were related to one another or if they are just two separate problems all together and fixing them would be done by two different means.
One of the old school tricks to see if a clutch is installed and adjusted properly is to try to shift in and out of reverse cleanly. Since its symptoms revolve around early start up/ drive issues; that particular problem is not the gearbox. Unless you had a shift interlock issue, but this would be CONSTANT. It could be improper or insufficient lubricant contribution to a 'notchy feel' but that doesn't sound like what you're describing.
Have him check his clutch and service the hydraulic setup. If he doesn't have it; he should look into the adjustable master cylinder setup by Joey @ Tick Performance in NC. If you go to the manual trans page on LS1Tech; its page after page of issues similar to this. A hallmark of the original GM design I suppose. The clutch system needs regular maintenance. If the car is continued to be driven with a shoddy clutch; he WILL hurt the gearbox.
Not knowing what shifter he has, he may want to back off all of the shifter stops, see if it exhibits any problems and if not, reset them. I highly doubt this is an issue, but its good to check them anyway
FYI: an FBody T56 ring kit (all the single/double cone synch rings, struts, springs and fork pads) will run you about 500 dollars. If it hasnt been done; he should also have the iron service replacement 3-4 fork (Tremec p/n TNEC0843) which is about 60 bucks.
If you guys want me to recommend a T56 specialist in your area, tell me where he's at and I'll see what I can do
Like John Long said. Clutch problem most likely. If the clutch plate is dragging then the pressure plate is still in contact with the clutch plate and gear changes will be hard as you describe. It could be because of damaged fulcrum springs,Throwout bearing disintergrated,or clutch slave or master linear travel issues preventing enough travel of the release fork. .

Ok all of what you said makes total sense to me now. This car has a long history with me, i have known her for awhile and seen it change hands a few times. I know more about her than my other buddy who owns it now. At any rate the guy who built it used to drag race it down in Texas. He had just pulled out his monster LS7 that was in it and put in the mild built LS1 but didn't do anything to the tranny or clutch, so it would make sense that it could be starting to go out. Like I said I am an automatic guy so dealing with these manual issues is a little outa my range, I can work on them just can't diagnose them. We are over here in the Olympia area (just south of Seattle Washington) so f you know some one over here that is good with these trannys that would be awesome. I can do the clutch swap myself but it would take me longer than he could have the car outa commission.
No problem.
This guy isn't one of my customers (you're on the other side of the continent from me) but he comes highly recommended by the corvette/G8/GTO/CTSv tuner crowd.
I have no idea where Snohomish Wa is so forgive me.
You should talk to Ellis Groo at Speed Secrets. SSEFI.com is their website. I've heard his name for a few years, he was the late model trans guy for Kirkland Trans a few years back I believe. If he is too far away for you, they probably have the name of a guy in your neck of the woods.
Hey keep us posted on this will ya?
|The Following User Says Thank You to AutoGear For This Useful Post:
chevykid90 (08-24-2012)
That isn't too far from us at all. I wish this could have been something simple, but this is the name of the game. It really wouldn't surprise me that the clutch is going out either. Before the car had a monster LS7 and about 4 months ago the prior owner (who we also know very well) swaped it out for a mild built LS1 so that it could be more streetable but didn't do anything with the clutch or tranny. But I will report back when we figure out exactly what it is. Thanks for the help!
No problem; you may find that a simple hyd assembly flush, fill, readjust procedure will help but heres the rub: If the clutch is too worn, it may skew all your adjustments and you'll be back at it again. Definitely check the hyd fluid anyway. Without knowing the clutch and Hydraulics used on a detuned race car, I can't even give you help on the adjustment. I feel bad.
Ask Ellis if he can write down some service notes once he gets it dialed in. Maintaining the clutch should be easy after this for your buddy to do say twice a year or whatever.
PS let me know your guys experience with the shop, that way we can keep growing. Perhaps you can even point them to our board.
The "guy" chevy kid was referring to was me. Come to find out i over looked a tiny yet key detail. My master clutch resevior was bone dry ! I filled it up and pumped the preasure bake into my pedal and all is well again. I need to get it on a lift and do a full fluid flush before i store it for the winter, that is when ill empty refil and bleed all lines. Thanks for your response guys.
You're not the first guy to overlook that. Im a trans guy and I forgot to put fluid in a 4spd I was doing for my FATHER. We put it in at like midnight and didn't notice the howling until he put an exhaust system on the car (open headers cover up a lot of nagging noises). Any time it comes to fluids, I put a piece of blue painters tape on the aircleaner and on somewhere inside the car "No Fluids" When I R&R one of the fluids, I write it on my tape. LS1tech.com has a LOT of info on your HYD clutch setup. Most guys end up going to the adj. master cyl. eventually.
I didn't even think of that either.. I was with everyone else in thinking the clutch was out, or something else crazy. Should start using the KISS method more often... (keep it simple stupid) lol
You might want to look into WHY it went dry. Was it because the previous owner never filled it, or do you have a leak somewhere. Glad you're back on track.
I think i have a slow leak somewhere. I have to get it on a lift and go over it ! Thanks im glad to be back to driving it.

Just in time for Holy Week for one West Michigan church
by CLIFF AND NANCY HILL
In 2009 the church family of Cornerstone United Methodist Church of Caledonia moved into their beautiful new church home at the intersection of 84th Street and Kalamazoo Avenue. From humble beginnings in 1990, in the basement of Pastor Brad Kalajainen and wife Colleen's home, Cornerstone has grown to a church family of some 1,100 members with weekly Saturday evening and Sunday morning services now approaching 2,000 attendees.
The new church facility was created as an engaging and welcoming facility that would become a destination for the community. Toward that end they have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
Designed and constructed in a contemporary/industrial style, the Cornerstone facility was meant to be nontraditional and flexible, demonstrating stewardship through the wise use of resources and respect for the environment.
Set back from the busy intersection, the building lacked the look of a traditional church, prompting the church's administrative council to look for a visible symbol to identify the building's purpose to the countless hundreds of daily passersby.
A decision was made to erect a large, prominent cross in the center of the circular driveway in the front of the church. Not just any cross, mind you, but a cross to be designed to mirror the image of Cornerstone's logo—that being a slightly tilted cross "meant to convey the church's personal style of being more casual and less rigid," said church member Jay Brooks, the logo's designer.
Enter Rockford metal sculptor Steve Anderson of Anderson's Metal Sculpture, who was brought to the church's attention by Rockford resident and Cornerstone member Tracy Bowers, Cornerstone's director of outreach and coordinator for the cross project.
Squire readers will recognize Anderson as the creator of, among other notable sculptures, "Water Dance"—the depiction of three leaping fish that grace the face of Rockford's Rogue River Dam. Locally, other prominent Anderson's sculptures are the "Tom Brown Fire Hawk" located at the front entrance of the Cedar Springs High School football stadium and "The Rockford Fighting Ram" at the front entrance of North Rockford Middle School.
Quickly recognizing Anderson's genius, the church commissioned the sculptor to design and create a gleaming and textured-surface, stainless steel cross. Church leaders embraced Anderson's original design concept and all of his alternative adjustments while bringing the cross to fruition during two months this past winter.
So this past Friday, April 15, on what was an incredibly windy day, the Anderson's created Cornerstone Cross was delivered and anchored in place in an installation that Dave Turner, church member and chief operating officer of Kent Companies, said "couldn't have gone smoother, in spite of the difficult weather conditions."
Turner was on hand to personally supervise the installation. He had arranged to have one of his company's highly specialized hydraulic boom trucks on hand to hoist the 20-foot-tall, hollow core, 1,600-pound, stainless steel cross up and down onto a previously erected 14-foot steel girder that was anchored to an earlier poured 7-foot-deep by 3-foot-diameter steel reinforced cement foundation.
The cross was breathtaking! Using sanding discs, Anderson's had textured the surface of the cross so that reflected light radiated outward from its very center. Just as designed and planned, it tilted some 85 degrees from horizontal.
Highlighting and circling the cross were three 48-foot-long ribbons of stainless steel that swirled toward the sky. Each of the three ribbons was engraved with a biblical verse that "speaks first of all to God's Great Commandment, and secondly to where we need to be as a church family, and finally to God's Great Commission as to what we need to do to accomplish our mission," said Shelly Watkins, Cornerstone's office and facility director. "The cross sculpture becomes a living representation of our logo."
The proud and anxious Steve Anderson hovered over the entire installation that windy afternoon, lending his expertise and a hand whenever necessary. "I love what I do—designing and creating metal sculptures that will bring great pleasure and last for generations," said Anderson. "I'm humbled and honored to have been chosen to create the Cornerstone Cross."

text: Hello, I would really like to get some feedback and intell on the matter of purchasing ($199+s&h,tax) the GM Direct 2011 Nav disk for my 2006 DTS. I have a Garmin and have been using it however, its seems to make no sense not to use the factory installed GPS system. The question really is, is the $200 well spent on the 2011 Nav disk, installed in a 2006 GPS system? I'm wondering if the dated system is going to work with the newest software? TIA diggerdog

My First Fan Fest
For a baseball fan, the months between the World Series and spring training seem to go on forever. So any chance during this lull in action to see the players is welcomed by the many avid fans.
I don't know how many teams do this, but the San Francisco Giants hold annual Fan Festival, just before the pitchers and catchers report for spring training. This is a time for the fans to show their support to the players and their team. The Giants are a classy team. They know how to appreciate their fans. Last year, we were unable to go because of scheduling conflict. The day the fan fest was scheduled was the day we were coming back from our cruise.
Lesson learned from last year; hence we made sure we were ready for this year's Fan Fest. If nothing else, it would be a great day at the park.
Do you see the blue skies? Early February and the temperature was in the upper 60s. Short-sleeve weather, yay!
The fanfest was scheduled from 10 to 3 pm. I arrived a little before noon.
The fans were allowed to peek at the home team's clubhouse.
The corridor walls were decorated with photos of memorable moments in Giants history. My fave moment as a Giants fan was when Brian Johnson hit a game winning HR in the bottom of the 12th, LA Dodgers vs SF Giants, 9/18/97. Still one of the best games I've seen (on tv). This is that moment pictured here.
The scoreboard.
So clear you could see Oakland across the bay.
The waterway to the right is called McCovey Cove.
Won't be long before this place will see full house night after night.
The players were scattered all over the ballpark signing autographs. Some lines were really long and wraps around the park. It was never my intention to get any autographs, so I didn't even catch sight of the other players.
Jeremy Affeldt (l) and Nate Schierholtz (r) being interviewed by Larry Kruger (l) and Gary Radnich (r). The Giants flagship station sponsored the fan fest and the shows were aired live from the ball park that day. I spent more time listening to interviews.
Reliever Sergio Romo, a member of the bearded brigade, takes his turn at the interview desk.
Matt Cain, pitcher extraordinaire, walks up to the interview desk.
And gets to take pictures with Fitz and Brooks, sports radio announcers.
Pablo Sandoval, lovingly called the Panda by fans, was all smiles as he walks off the interview desk.
The Giants announced that the number of people who attended the fan fest was 36,000. Here are some of the 36,000 that my camera captured.
It was a lovely experience.

Hi, I can appreciate your love of baseball. I love sports also. My Daddy loved the Yankees --so when I was a little girl, I became a Brooklyn Dodger fan (just to have competition with Daddy)... Dad sold tickets for one of the minor league teams that played in our little town... SO--I got to go to games with him back then. I learned all about baseball--and have always loved it. When I lived in Texas for 12 yrs., I was a huge Astros fan... They USED to have such a good team... No more though. Sigh!!!!ReplyDelete
On another note, why do you still have Word Verification enabled? PLEASE take it off... I cannot read those words --and just don't have time to keep trying. Thanks so much.
My countrymen are more into football. :)ReplyDelete
It seems such a fun day, If I have a chance to visit USA, I will try to watch a baseball match. :)
A very interesting series. I like the idea of a team and their management making a special occasion for the fans. One of my favorite shots was of the field with hundreds of fans roaming about the ball park.ReplyDelete
nice, crisp pics. It's baseball season again.. soon !ReplyDelete
being one with the high spirited crowd is totally worth it. namiss ko ang UAAP days, ateneo vs lasalle! hahaReplyDelete
interesting as i have never been to a fan day for sports. i only enjoy seeing them from the tube.ReplyDelete
i can imagine the crowd.
Oh, how fun, Maria! I wonder if the Atlanta Braves do something like this????ReplyDelete
Glad you enjoyed that huge event. It's cute that you spotted that couple from the crowd.ReplyDelete
Love the (almost) empty seat shot!ReplyDelete

Pitt Men's Soccer Prepares For Second Season In The ACC
The Panthers return 18 players from the 2013 squad, including 11 who started at least six games.
Eric Barnes enters his third season as an assistant/goalkeepers coach with the University of Pittsburgh men's soccer program. A former Pitt goalkeeper and Pitt law student, Barnes' primary responsibility is the training of current Pitt goalkeepers on proper techniques and strategies. Barnes also assists in recruiting.
Prior to joining the Pitt staff, Barnes played professionally for the Pittsburgh Riverhounds (USL-2) during the 2009 season and for the Carolina Dynamo (PDL - USL Premier Development league) in 2007. The Dynamo were the Southeast Division champions and advanced to the league finals before falling to the eventual national champions, Laredo Heat.
Barnes serves as the Director of Goalkeeping for FC Pittsburgh and was recently named a member of the NSCAA National Goalkeeper Staff. In this role with the largest coaching association in the world, he will travel to various locations throughout the U.S. to teach coaches how to properly train their goalkeepers. Barnes is also a grade 7 USSF Referee, as well as a member of the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association. Barnes travels throughout the region officiating collegiate, adult and elite youth soccer matches.
Barnes played collegiately for two years at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., while obtaining his bachelor's degree and two years at Pitt while earning his J.D. from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. While with the Patriots, Barnes was named the Colonial Athletic Association rookie of the week in September 2005 and was the inaugural recipient of the Martin Dunphy Goalkeeper of the Year Award. He registered a 0.99 goals against average in 14 games. In addition, Barnes recorded 63 saves, complied a .808 save percentage and finished with five shutouts. The South Carolina native also earned the CAA Commissioner's Academic Award, National Dean's List and Athletic Director's Honor Roll accolades.
At Pitt, Eric was selected to the Big East weekly honor roll in September 2008 and was named a member of the University of Pittsburgh Scholar-Athlete All-Academic Team in both 2007 and 2008. Barnes - who played in 21 games - registered six wins with two shutouts, recorded 88 saves and finished his two-year career with a 1.42 goals against average.
A 2004 graduate of South Aiken High School in Aiken, S.C., Barnes earned a bachelor's degree in health, fitness and recreation resources with a concentration in sport management in 2007 from George Mason University. In 2010, Barnes was awarded his Juris Doctor from University of Pittsburgh School of Law and is licensed to practice law in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Barnes holds an NSCAA AdvancedNational Diploma and an NSCAA Advanced National Goalkeeping Diploma.
Coach Luxbacher on Eric:"Eric has transferred his passion for the game from playing to coaching. He is a self-motivated student of the game who provides our goalkeepers with much-needed instruction and experience everyday at practice and in games."

Ballard Bridge Sidewalks Prove Dangerous and Out-of-Date
By Katie Hawkins Those who commute through the Seattle neighborhood of Ballard have undoubtedly dealt with the trepidation that comes with crossing the Ballard Bridge.

I'll Take the Low Road! Crossing the California Desert and High Sierra
By Peter J. Marsh A few days into 2015 we saw the pictures of the first ascent of the 3,000-foot Dawn Wall in Yosemite Valley, accomplished by Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson. They "free climbed" it — without any artificial aid — which is a stunning achievement in addition to the way the media reacted. This marathon effort succeeded in putting their practically anonymous sport on the top of mainstream news, a breakthrough that cycling made 25 years ago.

Sisters and Prineville — Bike Parks in the Making
By Chad Cheeney It's a classic saying — a modern day middle-aged cyclist exclaims something like, "I wish I could have had that opportunity when I was a kid." You say this at a bike park, a magical looking plot of land with manmade features, much like a skate park but with dirt. Your kid or friend is blowing your mind and riding all over humps and bumps, then a middle school-aged child approaches the jump you thought maybe you'd hit if you had done this when you were younger, with full grin. You check out the technologically amazing machine between your legs and think how incredible this sport is these days. Read More
Ride Smart: Avoid Common Overuse Issues – Part 2
By Kari Studley, PT, DPT, CYT If you are training for a major cycling event, personal goal of increased total mileage, or achieving a certain endurance distance, how you train will be a critical factor in meeting those goals injury free. The common overuse training issues of "too much, too soon" and "training for endurance events with only one weekly ride" were presented in the March 2015 edition of Bicycle Paper ("Ride Smart: Avoid Common Overuse Issues"). This month, we'll build on ride smart concepts through exploring how to further avoid common overtraining and overuse issues. Read More

My Pump is Crap, He Said
By Maynard Hershon So I'm on this ride, my buddy Justin and I and 15 friends we don't know. We're somewhere on an unfamiliar bike path when a guy gets a flat. Justin and I have been hangin' out at the back so it takes us a moment to figure out why we've all stopped. I groped around inside the guy's tire searching for puncturing agents, as we say in flat-fixing superhero circles. I found nothing. The guy kept up a steady line of patter as I went about fixing his puncture. He told me, poor guy, that he'd borrowed a pump because his is crap. Read More

By Maynard Hershon I'm on 29th, headed west out of Denver toward Golden. I'm stopped, first in line, at the light at Federal. The light goes green, I start across the intersection and as I reach the other side of Federal, a city bus comes alongside me, evidently passing me. Read More
The Art Of Getting Back Up
By Joe Kurmaskie The world can feel unfathomably large, random and knock the life out of you for no apparent reason. That's what happened to Doug Markgraf a few years back. What happened next is the important part, the meat of life and what keeps me humble, inspired and in the saddle. My role in this story has been to provide some guidance and gear as Doug took on the monster-sized task of piecing his life back together one mile at a time. Read More
By Maynard Hershon You can take your bike into the Denver Bicycle Cafe and have it repaired. A service tech who works full-time at a major bike shop works part-time at the Bicycle Cafe. I'm told that the shop has managed to keep the waiting period short. I stop at a trail junction, unsure of which way to continue. As I turn my bike around in the trail, I hear a scraping noise. I look down and see that one end of a piece of rusty wire, heavier than coat hanger wire, has twisted itself around my front axle just inside the fork tip. The other end has been bouncing and scraping along the ground for miles. I untwist it and stare at it. Read More
Before My S.U.B. Was A Status Symbol
By Joe Kurmaskie Who among us touring cyclists hasn't been mistaken for the homeless? What with hauling our worldly possessions from town to town, putting our show on the road for weeks at a time ... OK, maybe it hasn't happened to you. Perhaps your gear is always showroom new, showering and shaving is a regular part of your routine and the lycra across your back has people thinking sponsorship rather than soup kitchen, but the rest of us, with our broken rain jacket zipper we've been meaning to fix, we've pretended not to notice the faces of sympathy or disgust as we pedal along.

Dysfunctional Cycling Club, and Why You Should Quit
By Maynard Hershon I believe that the good group training ride, perhaps especially the good club training ride, is where the heart of road cycling beats. It's where riders are formed, where technique is learned, where friendships are made, where cyclists learn to look after one another. If you're not learning anything, if your crew is ragtag and it's everyone for himself, or if you are not making friends or learning how to take care of each other, you're wasting your time in a sadly defective training routine.

The Mother Of All Tailwinds
By Joe Kurmaskie Riding one hundred miles in under three hours on a bicycle is akin to breaking the three-minute mile on foot. Maybe the pros do it all the time, but I'm not one of them so I wouldn't know. If you don't have a resting heart rate below 50 and a fat to body mass index of five percent, charging past the century mark in three hours is a pipe dream... Read More

2 Year old Sable Critique
Hey! So Piper will be turning two on January 16th 2014. I would like to know what people think of her as she has been maturing. The last 6 months she has really filled out quite a bit but can definitely see it in the last yr!. Please critique overall dog conformation/structure. :)
13 months (Last Feb)
just over 16 months
20 months
Some Fall movement pics
23 and a half months
some changes. in pic #5 she looks like a sable. in pic #6 she looks
blk&red. i can't critque but she's nice looking.
My sable looks black and tan in the right light. She looks like a very nice dog to me.
I don't have enough to critique. I will take a stab but take it is me being on the learning curve.........in some pictures the pasterns look a little down to me but not in others and not that bad if they are. Perhaps a bit too heavy after 20 months. But again, with the coat it is hard to tell. BUT understand I do not consider myself "qualified"
She's gorgeous! I know almost nothing about critiquing, but her pasterns do look a little low. Overall she looks great!
Than you very much. Her pasterns being a little low..would that effect her range of motion or what...is there anyone on here who can give me somewhat of a critique on her or am i out of luck...Do you need different pics to give me a critique
First of all, I am not really sure on the pasterns myself. It seems that way on the log picture and it may have just been from balancing on the log. Hope someone else will play in with more knowledge. I think your pictures are good. Just a matter of timing. Sometimes folks don't play in as much on the weekends.
ya I figured lack of people due to the weekend. As far as her pasterns, the log pic is a fallen down tree. she does have to balance a tad on it and its not as level as ground would be but she stacks herself real nice when she is up on it! lol
She's filled out nicely. She's so beautiful too.
Sure is pretty! Reminds me of my dog Stahl; my first long coat. If you feed her with the bowl elevated it will strengthened her pasterns! Bill:)

The decision to give Antonio Adan the starting jersey in the last two league games has been highly controversial.
"It's a little weird, but I read the other day that 36 goalkeepers have so far played in the League this season," said Martinez.
"If Casillas is dropped, who is considered one of the best in the world, it creates a stir, but here we have changed the goalie and nothing happened, nor has it at many other teams.
"If Mourinho decides to pick Adan then he has his reasons and Casillas will have to respect that and bide his time. It is a regular thing for all teams and we should not give too much attention to it."

The Knot Garden
The Dowager Marchioness of Salisbury describes her idea behind the design and planting of the Museum's seventeenth century style knot garden which was created in 1981.
Soon after becoming President of the Museum of Garden History in 1977, I was asked by the Museum's Founder, Mrs Rosmary Nicholson and the Trustees, to design, lay out and plant a memorial garden to the Tradescants in the old churchyard.
I had been living at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire since 1972, where Tradescant had been Head Gardener to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury, my husband's ancestor, from 1610 until Cecil's death in 1612. Tradescant's lists of plants bought for Hatfield along with his bills and the evidence of his travels in Spain, France, Italy, Russia and even to the Barbary coast in north Africa, were all to be found in the archives, along with sixteenth and seventeenth century books describing gardens of that age, as well as illustrations of their designs.
After some study of the books and papers, I drew up a plan for the area, which was not large, but presented considerable difficulties, the worst being the graves, many laid flat on the ground, making the laying of the paths a big headache. It was here that a member of the Trust, John Drake, who was not only an architect but a gardener too, brought his skill and knowledge to help me in the laying out the space. One thing was certain, a memorial garden for the Tradescants to hold plants of the seventeenth century, had to be a formal one, with at its heart, a knot, a garden design used at both Hatfield and Cranborne by John The Elder. The knot is a garden peculiarly of the Tudor, Elizabeth and early Stuart times. It had its links with classical antiquity, developing over the centuries, under the influences of war and peace, expanding trade, the venturing abroad of Emperors and kings, and a reviving taste for chivalry and romance, until it reached, in the ages of Henry VIII and Elizabeth, its apogée.
The knot was outlined in box, and to mark the Tradescants, the initial T on each side planted in silvery grey cotton lavender, Santolina chamaecyparissus. The great wall of Lambeth Palace rears up behind a broad border facing south, the wall of the church is on the west, with lower walls on the east, and on the west side, to enclose the garden entirely, I planted a yew hedge. To have the sound of water in the garden, I found a stone wall fountain in Italy and a path leads to where it is mounted on the east wall.
The knot garden has plants of interest for every season, starting with snowdrops, crocus, hepaticas and narcissus, through to scillas, tulips and the fritillaria imperialis, sixteenth and seventeenth century roses, martagon and Madonna lilies, and of course herbs.
Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, formally opened the garden in 1978, cutting the tape with a pair of seventeenth century scissors loaned, by permission of Sir Roy Strong, from the Victoria and Albert Museum where he was then the Director.
During your visit, pause to look at the great stone tomb of the Tradescants, standing in the garden, planted with the flowers and trees they had collected on their many adventurous and hazardous travels, and read these lines: I hope you feel you are walking in yet another paradise, albeit an earthly one.
"Know stranger as thou pass, beneath this stone
Lye John Tradescant grandsire, father, sone
The last died in his spring, the other two
Lived till they had travelled art and nature thro'
By their choice collections may appear
Of what is rare in land in sea and air
Whilst they (as Homer's Iliad in a nut)
A world of wonders in one closet shut
These famous Antiquarians that had been
Both gardeners to the Rose and Lily Queen
Transplanted now themselves, sleep here, and when
Angels shall with their trumpets waken men
And fire shall purge the world, these hence shall rise
And change this garden for a Paradise."

|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Gabe Pruitt spent most of his time in the NBA Development League in 2007-2008, but has a bright future ahead of him and he's already got a ring to go along with it. Pruitt also saw no action at all in the playoffs, gaining most of experience against D-League players. However, Pruitt looks to be more of a force next season off the bench as one of the back up point guards.
During the regular season, Pruitt only appeared in 15 games, but from what I saw he looks to have a successful future ahead of him. During his 15 games, Pruitt averaged 2.1 points per game and 0.9 assists per game while playing 6.5 minutes per game. He had a strong game on April 16, playing 13 minutes with five points, three assists, and one rebound.
In the NBA D-League, Pruitt excelled throughout his time with the Utah Flash. Pruitt appeared in 18 games for Utah and started 16 of those games. He averaged 18.6 points, 3.9 assists, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.2 steals per game. He moved up and down from the D-League and the NBA a few times though that kept his amount of playing time there down. In the end, Pruitt's development was aided by his time spent in the D-League.
Next year, Pruitt should function as another point guard off the bench to back up Rajon Rondo. Although Eddie House will most likely see the majority of the back up time, Pruitt should have a role similar to Sam Cassell's role this past year. I see Pruitt continuing to develop over the course of next season and becoming a great addition to the Celtics' bench.
Will you be confident in Gabe Pruitt as the team's backup point guard?

Ohio jobless rate increases to 7.2%
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) --Even though about 6,000 people entered the Ohio labor force last month---many of them in technology and state government jobs---it wasn't enough to offset a loss of 12,500 jobs, so June's unemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent.
The unemployment rate had held steady at 7.0 percent in April and May.
Ben Johnson, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, notes that about 27,000 people have entered the labor force since the end of last year.
Johnson says most analysts haven't changed their outlook for Ohio's economy. They still see a slow but steady improvement.
Ohio's jobless rate has consistently remained below the nation's rate, which was 7.6 percent last month.
