Dequeue element times out even when queue element has new data

Question

Hi,
I am using a producer/consumer set up and I am only getting one-iteration from my consumer loop.  I have probed the cluster wire that feeds the enqueue element of the producer and there is a continuous data stream there.  I have a timeout wired to the dequeue element in the consumer loop and have tried different times from 1ms to 1000ms.  It is currently at 25ms.  There has to be something else that is causing this issue, but I am overlooking it.  
I also tried adding an event handler that would detect a value change in the data.  That didn't do anything.  I have tried to restart my machine to no avail.  I am about to shut down and take the battery out of my laptop and reboot (the act of a man out of options).
If anyone could help, I would be indebted.

If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.

Thanks Javed_H
I thought that I tried that, but either I didn't or I did it while there was another bug.  At any rate, the time-out on the event handler did fix it.  I appreciate your help.
The reason I am using an event handler rather than a local variable is because I have been told many, many times that the local variable is somewhat of a hack.  They gave me other reasons, although they escape me now.  I do recognize and agree, however, that the local variable would work.  I'm letting the design asthetics of others dictate my code.
Thank you for your input,
