Guest blog written by Cori Menkin, Senior Director of the ASPCA's Puppy Mills Campaign.
Lambriar, Inc., one of the largest puppy brokers in the United States, has announced that it is closing its kennel doors for good. Puppy brokers like Lambriar are middlemen, buying dogs from puppy mills and distributing them to pet stores throughout the country. Brokers are an important cog in the wheel of the cruel and inhumane puppy mill industry.
When asked why Lambriar is closing its doors, owner Roger Lambert told Kansas newspaper The Belleville Telescope "When you couple the bad economy with increasing rules and regulations and increased pressure from animal rights activists, well, it just got too hard."
We have been working hard to shed light on the link between puppy mills and pet store puppies, and it seems to be working! As more and more people take our No Pet Store Puppies pledge not to buy anything in stores that sell puppies, the industry will continue to feel the ripple effects and be forced to make changes.
If you haven't taken the No Pet Store Puppies pledge yet, please do! And please be sure to share it with your friends so that one day, puppy mill cruelty will be a distant memory.
Join me in pledging to not buy puppies from pet stores. Puppies are not products and their parents are not breeding machines to be kept in squalor for profit. We will never buy puppies from pet stores.
agreed! Also pledging not to buy from online sites that retail puppies (may say pure breed/AKC/CKC/ or mix breeds) and ship or agree to meet you. Obtain puppies from reputable breeders. Between 3-4 million puppies, kittens, dogs & cats are put to death annually in the United States!
and go a step farther ADOPT DO NOT SHOP,until animal neglect and abuse laws are harsher and an animal abuse registery are in play, animals should not be bred,there is a lot mote to breeding animals that what puppy mill and backyard breeders put into it
This is wonderful news and after reading the article i can see that all of the sharing and signing that i do everyday is making a difference.I take the pledge to never buy from pet stores that sell animals....I hope this is the beginning of the end of puppy farms and animals having to spend their lives as locked up neglected abused breeding machines for profit!!!!!!!
This just made my day!! Roger Lambert is a disgrace and he deserved to be shut down!! I hope this continues to happen! I already signed the pledge so I hope everyone else who reads this story will sign too!! :)
Maybe if these types of ignorant selfish , heartless creatures were made to be locked in cages treated poorly and used for in humane commidities, they would see just how horrid what they do truly is
Maybe if these types of ignorant selfish , heartless creatures were made to be locked in cages treated poorly and used for in humane commidities, they would see just how horrid what they do truly is
I pledge not to buy anything from stores that sell puppies. There is just one thing, I feel terrible for the puppies sitting in their cages and worry who is purchasing them.

There are many things for James "Jimbo" Perry to take pride in; as one of Kinston's most prominent attorneys, he runs one of the most successful law practices in Eastern North Carolina. He's a well-recognized philanthropist who has helped create and run several mentoring programs.
However, Perry is most proud of his family. He's been the loving husband of Joan for 32 1/2 years and is the father of five sons: Madison, Stockton, Stephen, Nathan and Jackson.
Perry credits his own father, along with the influences of his grandfather and other older members of his family, for the man he's become over his 57 years. He's spent time reading and studying his grandfather Eli Jackson Perry's journal — one he kept while attending UNC in Chapel Hill in 1917.
"He wrote, 'In all things, keep the end in mind,' " Perry said. "What I think he was referring to was a pursuit of truth, trying to figure out what truth is and then making that your priority. From a very early age, he understood the importance of being a good husband and a good daddy."
Some of Perry's earliest memories are of his grandfather complimenting his grandmother and always encouraging her.
"I saw the security of a home in which a mom and dad love each other," he said.
What you see is what you get
Perry's public persona is simple: if you meet him, you automatically like him. The fourth-generation attorney believes in eye contact and rarely, if ever, does someone walk away from a conversation with him without feeling encouraged.
But is he like that at home, too?
"He's so genuine; what you see in public is what he's like 24/7," Joan Perry said. "I'm not sure I can adequately describe what it's like to be married to him and to watch him be a husband and father in our home."
Nathan Perry, 24, concurred.
"He's the exact same person at home that you see in public," he said. "He's an outgoing and caring guy. He never changes moods."
Opening his home to other children
About 20 years ago, Jimbo and Joan answered a calling — allowing a young man from a dysfunctional home to live with them for an extended period. He was the first of now more than two dozen young men or women to whom Jimbo and Joan have opened their home over the past two decades or so.
"After we took in the first young man, we learned that sharing our home is the greatest gift we could give," Joan Perry said. "Almost all of them came from dysfunctional homes and from all over the world."
Jimbo said the inspiration for helping children was simple.
"We really are all part of a community and we have a responsibility to those who have little or no hope," Jimbo Perry said, referring to the New Testament story about Jesus' lessons about helping those who "are the least of these."
The Perry's oldest child, Madison, who is 30, laughed heartily when he explained how his father successfully brought other children into their home.
"I think Dad got a bulk of his training about how to be a good parent by being a great camp counselor when he was younger, so it felt like he was expanding the fun to a wider circle," Madison said with a chuckle. "I feel like he first figured out how to be a good dad and then he learned he had enough energy to be a good dad to more than just me or my brothers."
Madison said there was never any ill will towards the children his father took in.
"I was the oldest kid, so of course I wanted more attention, but I never felt like he overlooked me in favor of anyone else," he said.
Wegene Tadele is one of the young people who have lived with the Perrys; he was born in Ethiopia and made his way to Kinston and the Perrys via a Raleigh-based orphanage in 2007 with the goal of eventually returning to Ethiopia and improving the country. Tadele lived in their home and attended Arendell Parrott Academy for his senior year of high school.
He is now a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. He said he and Jimbo talk on the phone several times a month and he tries to visit Kinston a couple of times a year.
"He taught me that when I become a dad, I should always tell them that I love them," Tadele said. "When he would come home, he would say, 'I love you guys;' before bed every night, he'd say, 'I love you guys.' "
Bringing other children into their home was always a family decision.
"All along, we prayed and wanted to be used in our community in the way that would be really pleasing to the Lord," Joan Perry said. "As we became aware of needs, we would pray about it and then involve our children in the decision.
"I never imagined opening my home to other people to live in for extended periods of time. It's been such a blessing, though, because we take it on one need at a time. We've learned that if we recognize that need, God is going to provide for that situation."
A father figure to a community
Former Southeast Elementary School Principal and Kinston native Felicia Solomon met Perry in 2000 when she returned to town to teach at Sampson Elementary; he was a volunteer at the school then.
The two helped create the little by little mentoring program, which continues to help young people at Southeast. Solomon, who now works in the Washington County School system, estimated Perry's influence to young people in Kinston in the "hundreds" of children.
Emotion coursed through her voice in a phone interview with The Free Press when she was asked to describe Perry.
"Jimbo is definitely one of the greatest men I know," Solomon said. "I've often said he embodies the nature of Christ — that if anyone never knew anything about God, meeting Jimbo would help someone learn the character of Christ. He's a vessel of hope."
Thelittle by little program was a practical example of his influence, she said.
"Jimbo is a father to so many; his territory is so large," Solomon said. "He's very selfless and one that believes in casting hope and dreams. He's not one that sits on the sideline and talks about it, he's a man of action.
"The life that Jimbo leads is one that is to be admired."
Lessons he's taught
Tadele fondly recalls the best lesson he learned from Perry.
"He taught me that, regardless of one's accomplishments, a dad always loves you," Tadele said. "He was like my dad. When I lived there, I felt like I was home and that was a great thing. I learned how to be a good dad in the future from Jimbo."
One trait Nathan Perry appreciates in his father is Jimbo's ability to encourage others.
"He always wants everyone to feel special," Nathan Perry said. "Every person he comes in contact, he makes them feel special."
Madison Perry, the father of two — including a newborn son last week — said he models his home after the one he grew up in.
"I emphatically endorse him as the kind of father I hope I am and can become," Madison Perry said. "I'm very happy to be his son."
Time management
In his life, Jimbo Perry has run a successful law practice, raised five sons (and participated in and watched all their extracurricular activities), given a temporary home to dozens more children while volunteering many hours of his week in several other endeavors, such as little by little and The Refuge.
Even his wife admits she doesn't know how he makes time for everything he does.
"Honestly, I don't (know) the answer to that," Joan Perry said with a laugh. "His schedule is crazy but somehow he works it out. I really don't know how he does it, because he makes time at home such a priority."
Time management comes easy to him, he admitted.
"The greatest gift we have is time," he said. "You can replace anything else. We should treat each minute as a gift; how we use the gift of that minute is important. That means there is plenty of time."
His children certainly appreciated the attention he gave of them.
"Having four brothers, I know it was hard for him to find that quality time to spend with each one of us, but he always found it," Nathan Perry said. "He always took time out of his day to read to us. … We read a lot of good books together."
Jimbo's genuine love for his boys was always evident, according to his children.
"He always left work at work and when we saw him every day, he always made it special, like it was the first time we'd seen him in a long time," Madison Perry said. "He would come home after a long day on the road and in courtrooms all over North Carolina and would still be just as excited to hug Mom and go out in the yard and play with us."
Advice to other fathers
It's evident that Jimbo Perry is still very much in love with his wife. During an interview last week, when the subject of Joan Perry came up, he choked up a little and wiped tears from his eyes when describing his affection for his spouse.
The feeling is certainly mutual.
"The greatest privilege of my life is to be married to him," Joan Perry said. "We've had such a wonderful adventure together. He is the most remarkable man I've ever known."
Ultimately, that leads to his advice for new fathers: love.
"Love your child's mother well," he said. "That is the best advice I can give."

Think of "Other Desert Cities," which opened Sunday at the Mark Taper Forum, as a holiday gift for political junkies and fans of serious theater – and, perhaps, an announcement that the mature years of a long-developing playwright have finally arrived.
Jon Robin Baitz's expertly crafted drama, which managed to dazzle New York critics and audiences in two separate stagings last year, is his most ambitious work to date. Baitz, an astutely political writer, attempts nothing less than an indictment of all the forces that have divided America for the last two generations, from Vietnam through the Iraq War.
It's a tall order, and sometimes the playwright gets lost in entangling weeds of his own making. How could a story with this much thematic throw weight not get bogged down occasionally? But at its best, "Other Desert Cities" feels like a modern American masterwork. Finally, a native-born playwright of quality dares to tackle our country's turgid political and cultural schisms head on – a task that, for many years, was filled largely by foreign writers such as David Hare and the agitprop work of Tim Robbins and other polemicists.
In "The Substance of Fire" and other plays, Baitz has examined the dynamics of troubled families. "Other Desert Cities" is his most complete and satisfying dysfunctional-family drama so far.
The Wyeths are a microcosm of America's two political solitudes.
Patriarch Lyman (Robert Foxworth) and his wife Polly (JoBeth Williams) are Southern California Republican bluebloods with familiar career paths. He was a Golden Age Hollywood actor. She was part of a screenwriting team with her boozy sister Silda Grauman (Jeannie Berlin).
Lyman and Polly segued into high-level politics and own impeccable party credentials. Nancy Reagan was a confidant; Lyman served in an ambassadorial post during the Reagan administration. Among the treasured photos in their Mid-Century modern Palm Springs home is a portrait of Barry Goldwater. (The Wyeths' genteel palace-in-exile is rendered to Neutra-esque perfection by set designer Takeshi Kata.)
It's Christmas 2004, and the Wyeths are hosting their children for the holidays. Trip (Michael Weston) is a smart-alecky reality-TV producer. Brooke (Robin Weigert), his older sister, is a troubled writer battling clinical depression who has recently penned her second book. It's a personal memoir that lays bare some old Wyeth secrets, and it has the potential to tear the family apart.
Brooke and Trip had an older brother, Henry, who died years before. He was swallowed up by the drugs and politics of the 1960s counterculture. Henry became enmeshed in a Weather Underground-type movement that was responsible for the bombing of a military recruitment center in Long Beach which resulted in the death of the building's janitor.
Confronted by his suspicious father about the crime, Henry tearfully confessed to his involvement. The resulting rift with his dad sent Henry spiraling into crisis and finally suicide.
That tragedy, which is only a horrible childhood memory to Brooke, resides under the surface like an unexploded bomb. It's also the jumping-off point for her depression. Why didn't Henry leave a note for her? They were close. Why do her parents refuse to mention Henry or even keep his memory alive with living room photos, the way they do with their friends in Hollywood and the Republican Party?
At first, the inter-generational barbs seem friendly, if pointed. "Despite your abhorrent and repugnant lefty politics, we want you to know we're damn proud of you," Brooke is told when she reveals that her book has found a publisher.
Baitz's script is filled with many (perhaps a few too many) such bon mots, and they imbue the first act with an air of Shavian wit and sophistication. Many of the best lines are given to Polly, a polished paragon of right-wing self-assurance and icy contempt. Recalling her Hollywood career, she remarks, "Once it became about drugs and lefties whining, I was out."
But a lot of chickens come home to roost in the second act, when the family must come to grips with the imminent publication of excerpts from Brooke's memoir in The New Yorker. Here the playwright's narrative gifts come to the fore. Secrets turn on themselves and our assumptions about characters' beliefs and motivations are turned inside out. Suffice to say that love trumps politics, but barely.
Director Robert Egan, a frequent Baitz collaborator who helped shepherd the birth of "Other Desert Cities" at the Ojai Playwrights Conference, knows these characters intimately. Watch for exquisitely placed glances and pauses that speak volumes about hidden feelings.

Whether you've recently adopted a dog or you're considering it, one of the most important health decisions you'll make is whether to spay or neuter your new pet.
When it comes to "fixing" male dogs, specifically, there's a lot of misinformation swirling around. ("It'll make my dog fat" and "it'll change his personality" are two common myths that we'd like to bust forever!) Some pet parents even express guilt over neutering their dogs. But trust us, he doesn't mind, and here's why:
Neutering provides major health benefits.
Besides preventing unwanted litters, neutering your male pup prevents testicular cancer and significantly reduces the chance of certain prostate problems as he ages.
Your neutered male will be more at peace.
Neutering won't affect your dog's working abilities, friendliness or playfulness! However, it will likely reduce undesirable, sometimes dangerous behaviors including urine marking, attempts to roam away from home, aggression toward other dogs and inappropriate mounting. These things stress everybody out—including him.
He won't become a deadbeat dad.
Every year, millions of dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanized or suffer as strays. You wouldn't want your beloved pooch to be responsible for creating yet another unplanned litter, would you?
Many states and counties have established safe, low-cost spay/neuter programs that make surgery easily affordable and accessible. To find an affordable program near you, search our Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Provider Database. If you're in New York City, the ASPCA mobile spay/neuter clinic offers partially or fully subsidized spay/neuter surgery for low-income dog and cat owners in the five boroughs.
Both of my dogs are neutered. Just thought I'd share.
I did not know better, and my precious dog developed, and died from testicular cancer. I would never go without neutering my pets!!!
I got my girl spayed at 3yrs old and she her temperament changed, she used to be easy going and now she is aggressive toward men and other dogs and scared to death of loud noises and thunderstorm and she is almost 7 so it has been getting worst as she gets older. My 4yr Pitty isn't spayed yet but she is sooo sweet and so extremely passive I hope she doesn't change... I really need to get her done but she is never out of my sight so her sneaking out at night on a date isn't a problem. Like my first girl she gained alot of weight and my 4yr Pittie all she does is sleep she may spread so wide she won't fit through the door.
I had my beagle neutered and i'm sorry I did. now he is listless and fat. He has lost he very essense of being a dog. He doesn't enjoy life like he once did.
He's fat because he eats too much. Like us! He doesn't enjoy life like he once did because his weight makes it hard for him to bounce around and jump.
How old is he now? How much exercise does he get each day?
What does his daily diet consist of? All of these factors are probably more likely to be the contributing factor to any dogs weight and energy level.
I live in a family of beagle fans so I am extremely familiar with the breed. Over the years we have shared our lives with several males and females beagles. I can't think of one of them that did not want to spend most of their days racing around in yard and in the adjoining fields. During the winter months, when they did not have the opportunity to get outside and run everyday, they always seemed to become depressed, listless, and gained weight. This bread needs to be on the go! One additional point. My beloved grand dad is very liberal about feeding his beagle "Abigale" table scraps. We constantly advise him that it is not a great idea, especially since he has not been able to get out with her as much lately. She has tended to be on the pudgy side most of the last two years.
This is so false. Unless some really bad trauma happened during that operation or stay at the hospital, there is no way that would have happened. Sorry. But you are probably leaving something out of that story. And you are definitely over feeding your dog
This person could not have said it any better. 99.9% of the animals spayed or neutered do not change in a bad way just because they had surgery. In actuality they usually change for the better in many ways. The purpose to spay n neuter is to give your pet longevity and to help with pet OVER POPULATION!

HAVELOCK — The Havelock Rams had two ultimate goals since the beginning of the season — get back to the state championship game and win it again.
Half of that goal was achieved Friday when the Havelock trounced Orange, 42-7, in the 3-A Eastern Final.
Quarterback Pharoh Cooper threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns in addition to running for 98 yards and a score.
Derrell Scott added two rushing scores and caught a 41-yard strike from Cooper for another.
"I'm just so happy for our fans and these kids and my assistants who work so hard for me and mean so much to me," Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said.
"It's a thrill to be able to go to Wake Forest next weekend and play on the artificial turf there and in a stadium like that."
The game wasn't totally indicative of the final score, especially the first half.
Cooper hit C.J. Lindsey for a 50-yard touchdown bomb to put the Rams up 7-0.
Then after a 52-yard kick return set the Panthers up in the red zone, quarterback Sean Motley pushed the football across the goal line from three yards out to tie the game 7-7.
Orange would not sniff the end zone again.
With a lackluster 21-7 halftime lead, and a few people in the home crowd having some feelings of trepidation, the Rams put all of that to bed with a brilliant second half runaway performance.
"We made some adjustments and stopped making mistakes but a lot of it speaks to our kids' maturity," Bryant said.
"We didn't play our best in the first half, but the kids corrected their mistakes and listened to the coaches and we were much better in the second half."
Orange's pair of 1,000-yard running backs, Patrick Pettiford and Jalen Pittman, were bottled up for the most part by Havelock's massive defensive front.
"I told my kids that I was proud of how hard they played," Orange coach Patrick Moser said.
"I mean we just lost to the state champions. I can't see anyone beating them with their speed, it's just too many weapons. We tried to run right and we ran into a kid going to South Carolina (Kendal Vickers), tried to run left and there's a kid going to East Carolina (Malcom Ashley), I mean what are you going to do?"
The Rams move on to play the Concord Spiders on Dec. 1 at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem.

Hope makes the best mtn bike brakes. Period.
Excellent modulation, intuitive design, and beautiful machine work all done by folks that care.
Just be careful. The rear Tech3/E4 I got had a hose that is WAY too short. We're not talking about a few mm here, but rather 8" (203mm!!). Really guys? At least Shimano cares enough to make their brakes with extra-long hoses, and then includes a furle and other bits to make shortening less painful. Last time I check there isn't a decent hose stretcher available.
The bike I'm putting these on is an Spech. Enduro 29 in the XL variety. It's not a small bike, but 8" off?
I'm 100% sure that Hope customer service in Tx will take care of me, but I would have liked to ride my new brakes this weekend.

Romeo Santos Details

About Romeo Santos
Romeo Santos plays Yankee Stadium
It's been a monster year for Romeo Santos. One that he's shared with thousands of adoring fans and some of the biggest names in music --- and it's not over yet.
Santos released his second studio album, "Formula, Vol. 2" back on February 25, 2014. It contained collaborations with a literal Who's Who of the music industry, including Drake, Marc Anthony, Nicki Minaj, Carlos Santana, Kevin Hart and Tego Calderon. The project's first two singles were "Propuesta Indecente" and "Odio," which spent 17 combined weeks atop the Hot Latin Songs Charts and remained in the top 5 for over 30 weeks. Both have been Santos' highest-charting songs on the Hot 100, peaking at numbers 79 and 45, respectively.
While all the success was certainly welcome, the highlight of the year thus far for the Bronx-born musician was playing Yankee Stadium for two sold-out nights in July. He told some 50,000+ in attendance, "If Madonna, if Paul McCartney, if Metallica can sell out Yankee Stadium… Latinos can sell out this s&mdasht too!"
Santos later told Huffington Post, It was a little stressful…to put on two shows of that magnitude on the production level. It takes a lot of work. I feel proud to say that I'm part of a very short list of artists who have completed a feat of this magnitude and I'm the first Latino to do it."
A few weeks later Santos was the biggest winner at Premios Juventud 2014, helping Sony Music Latin to dominate in all music categories and score 11 new awards for the label. Santos, who took home five awards, elicited screams from audience members while performing "Eres Mia," the third single from "Formula Vol 2. "
Romeo Santos climbing the charts again (Updated 9/27/13)
Romeo Santos not only remains one of today's most popular Latin music superstars, he's climbing the charts again to prove it.
Santos has taken his latest single "Propuesta Indecente" to the top of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart after weeks of battling some fierce competition. Among the other Top 10 songs were the likes of Prince Royce's "Darte Un Beso" and Enrique Iglesias' "Loco."
The lucky charm for Santos could be attributed to the enormous popularity of the video that was made for "Propuesta Indecente," produced by Virgin Films and directed by Joaquin Cambre, with promotional photography done by Nicolas Trovato. In the video, filmed on the steps of the National Library and in the San Miguel Palace in Argentina, Santos can been seducing actress Eiza Gonzalez while she's in the company of another man. The pair then escape together in a red car through the streets of Buenos Aires.
Santos next album, "Formula Vol. 2," is scheduled for a release late in 2013. "Propuesta Indecente" is the first single from the album, released on July 30. It quickly hit number one on iTunes and Amazon before climbing the Billboard chart. It follows "Formula Vol. 1," which debuted all the way back in 2011. That was followed by a national arena tour in 2012, which included dates in New York City, Boston, Las Vegas, Miami and San Diego, among other cities.
No doubt, a tour will follow for the release of "Formula Vol. 2," so be sure to stay up to date on ticket info here at SeatGeek!
About Romeo Santos: From Aventura to solo artist
Romeo Santos is a composer and former lead singer of the Bachata group Aventura. Often called a charismatic and captivating performer, the Bronx native has been writing and performing since he was just a teen.
From the beginning, Romeo's love of penning songs would lead him in the right direction to kick start a career. He became a member of his church choir with his cousin Henry, and shortly thereafter, the pair would join Max and Lenny Santos to form the quartet that would take bachata music and mesh it with hip hop and R&B sounds. The end result was a string of hits like "Obsesion," "Cuando volveras," "Todavia me amas," "Hermanita" and so many more.
However, the story of Aventura is only a small part of the musician Romeo Santos has become.
Today, Romeo is a jack of all trades in the industry. As a producer, composer and vocalist he has captured awards from ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors & Publishers) and Billboard. As performed and recorded by Aventura, "Obsesion" took on a life of its own and was recorded by artists around the world. In 2006 a cover of the song by Frankie J was No. 1 on the mainstream charts for nearly 22 weeks, winning Romeo the ASCAP Song of the Year in both tropical music and American pop.
In music circles, it is known that Romeo is extremely selective in the artists he now writes for. Beyond that, his solo debut album, entitled "Formula," bowed in 2011. All of the Bachata tracks were written, arranged and produced by only one man – Romeo.

Support Home > 3c. Configuring The CAPN to the GPS - Basic Instructions
Electronics Hookup and Configuration
Connecting a GPS to a PC navigation software product can sometimes be a laborious process. Fortunately, we've included a GPS Auto-Detection routine within The CAPN to streamline this process. However, if difficulties persist, or if a more complex configuration is required, an advanced setup procedure and troubleshooting steps are also available.
Automatic Configuration: "Click Here To Find GPS"
The fastest and easiest way to get The CAPN properly configured for your GPS is to click the Find GPS button on the left side of the chart display window:
(If this button does not appear, choose Find GPS Data from the Options menu.)
Connect the GPS to your computer (using a USB-to-Serial Adapter if necessary.) Then, on the GPS Check List that appears, press the Find GPS button. This will search your connections for the GPS and configure The CAPN to use the GPS to provide position information on its display. To activate the moving chart display, check on Keep Ship In View from the Navigation menu.
Manual Configuration
To manually configure The CAPN to communicate with the GPS, close The CAPN application. Next, open My Computer (or simply Computer in Windows Vista) and open Local Disk (C:), and the folder labeled Capn Voyager. Now, locate and double-click the Configuration Settings file labeled GPS (or GPS.INI) - it will appear as a Notepad.
The following screen should open:
Move the cursor to Port= and type the number of the COM port the GPS (or USB-to-serial adapter) is connected to. For Baud=, type 4800 (unless your GPS is communicating at a different Baud rate) and ensure Handshaking= is set to 0.
Related Technical Document: I don't know what COM Port my GPS is connected to. What should I do?
Next, choose Save from the File menu, and close the GPS.INI Notepad. Start The CAPN and choose Find GPS Data from the Options menu and The CAPN will use the GPS to provide position information on its display. To activate the moving chart display, check on Keep Ship In View from the Navigation menu.

Mike Krzyzewski is jumping in with full force for another go-around as coach of the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team.
The Hall of Fame coach from Duke reconsidered his notion to step away from that role.
"I really thought I wasn't going to do it," Krzyzewski said Thursday. "Now that I am doing it, I'm doing it with 100 percent commitment and passion and with seven years of experience.
"I'm real excited to do it. It's still the ultimate honor. Try to do these four years the same way we did these last seven."
The U.S. national team owns a 62-1 record under Krzyzewski, including an active 50-game winning streak.
Since last summer's second Olympic gold medal with the team in London, Krzyzewski had been steadfast in saying he would step away from coaching the U.S. team. He said he wanted to maintain a role with USA Basketball.
"When I said I wasn't going to do it, I wasn't going to do it," he said. "I thought it gave USA Basketball an opportunity (to assess the program). After the (past college) season, things picked up."
This latest commitment lines up Krzyzewski, 66, to direct the team through 2016, when the Olympics will be in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
"When you have a good thing going, you don't mess with it," said Jerry Colangelo, who's managing director of the USA Basketball national team.
Krzyzewski, who received public blessings Thursday from Duke athletics director Kevin White and school president Richard Brodhead, said he hasn't given consideration to when he'll retire from Duke.
Apparently, he plans at least three more seasons because he said he thinks coaching in a full-time capacity is an important part of being the national coach. He said that keeps coaches sharp.
"I feel energetic, passionate, wanting to achieve," he said. "When you're with these guys (with the national team), it's energizing."
Krzyzewski's role will require a July mini-camp this year in Las Vegas followed in 2014 by the World Cup of Basketball in Madrid, where winning that tournament would negate the necessity of the United States competing in a 2015 qualifier for the Olympics. The World Cup of Basketball will cut into the school year as it's held from Aug. 30-Sept. 14, 2014.
The process under Colangelo's direction has involved a four-year cycle.
"That will be my main effort right now, to try to replenish the pool (of players)," Krzyzewski said.
Krzyzewski said it's likely that Duke assistant coaches Steve Wojciechowski and Jeff Capel would be involved in support roles with the U.S. team. He also suggested that Jim Boeheim and his top assistant, Mike Hopkins, from soon-to-be Atlantic Coast Conference rival Syracuse also would maintain a presence with the national team.
Boeheim has been an assistant coach for Krzyzewski the past two Olympics, while Hopkins served in a capacity similar to that of Wojciechowski and former Duke assistant coach Chris Collins.
Krzyzewski said keeping the U.S. team as a gold medalist requires the utmost planning.
"We now have the respect of the world," he said. "… It's not just a United States sport. It's a world sport."

I'm starting to feel that Mark is NOT going to do this.
Maybe Eric, Keith, Kyle, and I can get together and do a brief demonstration. We could MAYBE do it at one of the Ice Bowls or PBL's.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
I'd like to check this out too, I'd even pay some type of fee...
Hmmmm....maybe. I could probably do a demonstration.
Eric Gallusser
I would be interested in attending this demo.

has any of this happened yet? I would love to attend a clinic or any type of instruction, formal, casual, whatever. I started playing last summer and seem to be stuck where I am.
This never happened and Mark moved to Florida so I don't think he will be running one any time soon.
Eric Gallusser
Come spring time maybe the Gallussers and I could put something together. I mentioned that in November but...for real...Eric, would you and Kieth be up for it?
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."

'Moneyball' strategy works for feds?
Thursday - 12/1/2011, 5:33am EST
A new report suggests "Moneyball" could do for federal programs what it did for the 2002 Oakland Athletics.
A's General Manager Billy Beane built a winning baseball team on a shoestring budget by breaking with conventional wisdom. He recruited an Ivy Leaguer to find statistics that really mattered to winning games. Then he used them to build a roster of players on a shoestring budget.
"The thing that you think will help you win isn't necessarily the thing that will help you win," said Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Deputy Chief Operating Officer Michelle Snyder at the release of the new report "From Data to Decisions: The Power of Analytics."
Collecting and analyzing the right data is a key theme of the report by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service and IBM's Public Sector Business Analytics and Optimization. They found a few common keys to success:
- Leaders communicated a clear vision, set expectations and held staff accountable for results.
- Staff had clear line of sight from where they stood to goal
- Agencies invested in technology, tools and talent, although not at great expense.
- Agencies cultivated partnerships with more than the "usual suspects."
Shelley Metzenbaum, associate director for performance and personnel management, Office of Management and Budget (state.gov)
She said she hoped this report and a similar one by the Association of Government Accountants would "be the beginning of a movement" that would help the government "deliver more with less."
In preparing the report, researchers examined data analytics at eight agencies. They drew on programs at CMS, the departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Social Security Administration, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Coast Guard and the Navy.
At the VA-HUD program to end veterans' homelessness, the goal was clearly articulated, but the path forward was not.
"There was a lifecycle that we needed to capture," said VA's Performance Improvement Officer David Zlowe.
HUD stopped counting how many housing vouchers they issued to vets, and started counting how many vets were using them. The VA compared that information to vets' medical records.
They found that veterans with substance abuse problems were more likely to drop out of the program than those with mental illnesses.
"Now we can start to manage our interventions and programs even more effectively," Zlowe said.

TRENTON — Only once before in her now 27 years as Jones Senior's girls basketball coach has Debbie Philyaw opened a season after losing so much from the year before.
Still, Philyaw's approach to a year that begins tonight at Spring Creek after losing 83 percent (39.2 points per game) of its scoring from a year ago is the same as the 26 before it.
The Trojans may have lost six seniors and captains from a team that went 21-3, won the Coastal Plains 1A conference regular season and tournament titles and reached the third round of the state playoffs a season ago, but that isn't keeping Philyaw from using the same coaching and teaching points she's used her entire career in Trenton.
At the same time, she doesn't deny the challenges that lie ahead.
"We've got a lot of work to do. We lost a lot of valuable experience. The kids that made this basketball team this year has got some big shoes to fill," Philyaw said.
"I (had a similar season to this one) one other year — and it's been quite a few years back, I can't tell you the year. … We've had four successful years. I've really got spoiled with the kids that left me."
In the four-year careers of Travonda Haddock, China Marshall, Jasmine Bender, Madelyne Philyaw, Shakia Boomer and Brittany Daniels, the Trojans went 70-17, won two league titles and came within a victory of reaching the 1A Eastern Regionals three times.
This year, Jones Senior returns seven from last season but its top two returning scorers — junior Ashley Brimmage and senior Qua'Shawnna McKinnon — combined for nearly a nine point-per-game average last season according to stats at Maxpreps.com.
"As far as scoring, you're looking at a total of about 10 points off of last year's squad coming back. So we've got to have someone step up at the scoring position," Philyaw said.
Joining Brimmage and McKinnon as returners are juniors Symone Brooks, Markiara Staten and Daja McDaniel, and sophomores Caleigh Fout and Destini Tyson.
Only a few played significant minutes last year so Philyaw expects there to be a learning curve.
The Trojans also have four freshmen on the roster this year.
"These are the young ladies that return off of last year's team. Three or four of them have, you know, some quality minutes in games from last season," Philyaw said.
"We'll be running the same offense and defense that we've been running. Basically, we're just having to break everything down and just look at skill, skill, skill," the longtime coach added. "They have to be refined because on this year's squad I've got four freshmen … and you're looking at putting a possible ninth grader on the floor against a senior in high school. There's going to be quite a bit of skill-level difference for the most part, so we really have stressed the fundamentals, the basics, and I will continue to do that for, probably a while."
Although Jones Senior is the defending league champ, Philyaw, who said she thinks Lejeune is the favorite to win the league this year, isn't so much worried about a repeat as she is developing a team that is built around youth and chemistry.
To do that, the Jones County native and school alum will do the same thing she's done since 1986.
"These kids know that they're wearing the name Jones Senior. First of all that's a lot of pride, and they know they have some big shoes to fill. We will go into this season challenging each one of these young ladies to step up. I expect these young ladies to develop some chemistry, hopefully, early on. We're going to be OK," Philyaw said.
"We're going to approach it like any other season. We never would take less than what all you can give from them. We expect 100 percent 100 percent of the time. Whether we'll be successful all the time or not? Hey, we don't know. But we're going to give it our all every game."

Two Lenoir-Rhyne University graduates, a choir tour to Europe and a desire to make people laugh brought Natasha Fox and Laura Greene together.
Fox, 24, and Greene, 26, were part of a radio show at L-R where the pair liked to "goof off" while on the show.
"We wrote comedy and tried to be a comedy band," Fox said.
The girls noticed their comedy act wasn't working, so the pair opted for something more musical. In 2008, the group became known as A Furry Greene Fox.
A sinkhole opened on U.S. 70 SE in Hickory, and motorists should avoid the area if possible.
The sinkhole is on private and public property in the westbound lanes on U.S. 70 SE in front of Valley Hills Mall. Detours have been set up in the area, and if possible, motorists should avoid this area.
Hickory Police Department and Hickory Public Service crews are on the scene, and North Carolina Department of Transportation officials are on the way to assess the situation.
Bandys and Wilkes Central shared two things on Wednesday — team colors and a softball field.
The Lady Trojans, however, owned the lead.
Scarlett Harris hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the first inning, and the Lady Trojans (20-5) scored three runs in the bottom of the sixth, to advance to the second round playoffs.
Harris' two-run shot came from the third position in the line-up, which is a significant difference from her typical fifth spot in the batting order.
A new movie filmed in parts of Catawba County will be screened locally this weekend.
"Pendulum Swing," a feature film shot in various parts of the county and North Carolina, will premiere Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Carolina Theater in Hickory.
The film, which "follows a man into the dark place of his life," will be screened at 4 p.m., 6:30 p.m., and 9:30 p.m. each night this weekend.
"The only money we actually spent on the film was put to food, gas and the occasional hotel room," "Pendulum Swing" Director Bill Rahn said.
Elisa Baker faces federal drug trafficking charges, in addition to second-degree murder for the death of her stepdaughter, Zahra Baker.
A federal grand jury, sitting in Charlotte, indicted Elisa, 43, of Hickory, Wednesday on drug trafficking charges, according to Anne M. Tompkins, U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina.
Instead of throwing out fallen limbs from your yard, send them off for a new pen.

"I started out making (pens) as gifts," Miller said, adding by word-of-mouth, more people started requesting the unique writing utensils. "It's fun and interesting."
Ruth Moses Black Cook, 86, of Newton, passed away Tuesday, May 17, 2011, at Palliative CareCenter and Hospice of Catawba Valley in Newton. Burke Mortuary in Newton is serving the Cook family.
The Reverend Stanley Louis Stiver Jr., Lutheran minister, community leader and collector of crosses, died Monday in Newton. He was 89 years old. The Stiver family has entrusted the funeral arrangements to Willis-Reynolds Funeral Home & Crematory in Newton.
On Tuesday, officials with the U.S. Postal Service told Hickory Metro residents that if a mail processing center here is consolidated into Greensboro, mail service won't be seriously impacted.
"It should be transparent to most of our customers," said USPS Greensboro District Manager Russ Gardner.
Moments later, Gardner admitted that's not exactly true.
U.S. Postal Service officials say a financial crisis is prompting a study concerning consolidation of Hickory's mail processing center into a similar operation in Greensboro.
"We are facing an acute financial crisis," USPS Greensboro District Manager Russ Gardner said, adding increases in electronic communication, a decline in first-class mail volume and an economic recession are impacting the postal service's bottom line. "We continue to deliver to more than 1 million residences every year, but we have less mail. We have got to do it smarter, faster and more efficiently."
Conover City Council approved its $13 million budget immediately following a public hearing Tuesday.
After more than 11 hours of Conover city staff and City Council meeting and discussing budget cuts and fee increases, City Manager Donald Duncan Jr. said it was "not an easy budget."
"It's a difficult time, and there is an increase in expenses that we can't control," Duncan said.
Even though Conover decided not to increase property taxes for its residents, City Council approved a rate hike for water, sewer and landfill fees, as well as fire inspection costs.

ELON — One of Matt Matheny's pet phrases, "team victory," is becoming more than coach-speak for the Elon University men's basketball team.
The Phoenix has received valuable contributions from its role players and reserves in back-to-back victories.
And with Austin Hamilton, the starter at point guard, seemingly out for at least the immediate future due to a knee injury, more of the same figures to be imperative.
"I'm fully confident in our team and the players we have on the bench," forward Lucas Troutman said. "As deep as our bench is and the talent our guys have, I know that whenever guys aren't able to play or something happens or they get in foul trouble or something like that, I know we're going to have guys to come in behind them and step up."
Josh Bonney (15 points) and Ryan Winters (nine points) fueled a bench effort that produced 26 points — the best total by Elon's subs this season against a Division I opponent — in a 73-59 defeat of Furman on Thursday night.
There were other helpful subtleties, too, such as walk-on John Moody's brief appearance late in the first half — necessitated in part by Jack Isenbarger's foul trouble — as the Phoenix continued clicking and building what eventually grew into a 25-point lead.
"Everybody was doing what they were coached to do," Bonney said. "The message was, 'step up when called upon and play aggressive.' That's something that each player tries to do."
A victory tonight allows Elon to close its stretch of four games in eight days at 3-1.
Elon's bench unit has delivered 43 points in two games this week. Seventeen points from reserves Monday night were part of the Phoenix's 80-67 defeat of Western Carolina.
Winters — insert jinx here — hasn't missed a shot from the field in 2013. The sophomore forward is a combined 7-for-7 in the last five games.
This week against Western Carolina and Furman, Winters has totaled 15 points and nine rebounds while providing breathers for Troutman and Ryley Beaumont, Elon's starting post players.
"He's been really aggressive here lately," Troutman said of Winters. "He's done a great job down low, getting rebounds, just being a menace inside. He's causing problems for the other team."
Who: Wofford (7-11, 1-4) at Elon (10-7, 3-2)
When: 7 tonight
Where: Alumni Gym, Elon
Series: Elon leads 29-19. Wofford has won the last four meetings
Tip-in: Elon's Lucas Troutman has scored in double digits in 16 straight games.

Because I fucking love hatin'
This is what I feared from this album. Haven't actually listened to it yet, but I was afraid Counterparts would do this. "Prophets" has a few songs I can't tell apart, figures they'd make a whole album like that.
Not a bad review, but it's littered with spelling errors like "road" in the summary and i think you
meant bad instead of "band" in the first paragraph.
I know its a matter of opinion, but your statement about Misery Signals might be taken rather harshly
especially when you consider the contribution they've made to the genre, i.e. Of Malice and Magnum
Heart or Mirrors. This album really draws a lot of influence from Misery Signals first album in
tonality of the guitars to the up-beat tempos and even in the vocals too. Those are just my qualms but
it's really a good review.
Is your rec'd by the reviewer missing "heard"?
Thanks for the heads up guys.
Yeah, I mean, Misery Signals was a pretty great band, but I'd hardly call them revolutionary.
Not a bad review, but it's littered with spelling errors like "road" in the summary and i think you meant bad instead of "band" in the first paragraph.
I know its a matter of opinion, but you're statement
Sorry Dev. Had this at a three at first but after a few listens I couldn't in all honesty keep it that way.
I don't think we listened to the same album.
Digging: 1000 birds/golden gate bridge suicides support group - Timeworn
silly me you're right
My only problem with this review is that I think it lacks detail. Those small flourishes of greatness you mention -- what are they exactly? What sets them apart from the rest?
I may check this out at some point, as I liked the debut but didn't adore it as much as many seemed to.

I have two Macbook Pros - both are comparable in hardware. One is a 17" and the other a 15". The 17" has a slightly swifter CPU clock speed, but beyond that the differences are completely negligible.
I tried a setup a while back where I had the 17" hooked up to an external monitor in the middle of my desk with the 15" laptop immediately to the right of it, and was using teleport to control the 15" from my 17". All development, terminal usage, etc. etc. was being done on the 17" and the 15" was primarily used for email / IM / IRC... or anything secondary to what I was working on. I have a MobileMe account so preferences were synced, but otherwise I didn't really use anything else to keep the computers in sync (I use dropbox/git but probably not optimally).
For reasons I can't put my finger on, this setup never felt quite right. A few things that irked me was
- the 15" was way under-utlized and the 17" was overutilized
- having 2 laptops and a 21" monitor all on one desk actually took up lots of desk space and it felt like I had too much to look at.
I reverted back to just using the 17" and the external monitor and keeping the 15" around the house (and using it very sparingly).
For those of you who are using multiple laptops (or just multiple machines for that matter), I'd like to see setups that work for you for when you have 2 or more machines that gives you optimal productivity and why. I'd like to give this one more shot but with a different approach than my previous - which was using the 15" as a machine for secondary things (communication, reading documentation, etc. etc).
