A Colorado woman says she was refused a massage because of her size.Laura Smith was training for a half marathon in May, and thought it would be a great idea to get a massage the day after the marathon. She booked an appointment at Natural Healing Center.Smith said the doctor came into the room and said, "I'm sorry but you're too fat for our tables. You're going to probably break a table and then you'd have to pay for it."Smith told a KDVR reporter that she was in tears that day. She just couldn't understand.
Smith is 6'3" and dropped to 250 recently. She has had massages before. "I mean I'm not tiny, I know that, but I'm working on it," Smith told the KDVR reporter. The owner of natural healing wouldn't talk on camera to KDVR.The owner said she called Smith "large, not fat" and she worried a table might collapse because one had broken under a 165-pound man.

This is because of the regular wear and tear from traffic, not to mention about washing it with all kinds of harsh detergents that may not even be appropriate for it. When dried improperly too, it is obvious how harmful these procedures can get.

Barnes and Noble Readability Enhanced Browser Can't Start After 2.1 updateStatus: Closed
The update to permit use of the Play store is a really good idea (it addresses my earlier Calibre Companion suggestion, for instance) but there are some issues.
For many customers the Article View feature in the stock browser was very helpful. Also, there was decent Flash support in that browser, which is now missing.
The stock browser is still in the /system/app folder, and the bookmarks from it are still on the device, but the program seems to have been hidden from the operating system.
Please reenable the stock browser for 2.1 customers. Many prefer that Article View display to the alternatives and need Flash support.
Website Nookbook WishlistStatus: Under Review
The Nookbook wishlist on the website still isn't working properly. The only way I can see books I've added after January 2012 is to sort by date and then sort by date again. It's been this way since it was "fixed" earlier this year.
Shop function in 1EStatus: Closed
Still can't shop from my Nook 1E. It's been several weeks. Are you actually planning to fix this or not?
New (?) device wishlist issueStatus: Open
I was aware in the past that the wishlists created on the devices were only stored locally on the device. They were not saved online and when a device was reset, users would have to create a new wishlist on the device. This was fine and dandy as far as I was concerned, except for when I bought a book BEFORE I took it off the wishlist. This left a book on the wishlist that I COULD NOT REMOVE. Resetting the device would fix this, as it erased the local wishlist along with everyhting else.
Fast forward to today. I did a random erase/deregister because I am a complete geek and like to reset my computers/devices every once in awhile. While setting up my preferences again, I went to go manually enter books into my wishlist. TO MY ABSOLUTE HORROR I found my wishlist intact including all of my purchased books that could not be removed.
So, this brings me to 2 questions:
1) Apparently the device wishlist is now stored online, possibly hidden with the profile database. That's fine, and a sign of progress. But can I please be allowed to edit this list online?
Disappearing shelves on HD's and HD+Status: Closed
Many posters are heaving difficulty with losing shelves.
One one of the two occasions I lost my shelves (prior to 2.05), it occurred when I used Open Explorer to delect a.doc file I had converted (on the HD) from a .pdf file (using the Office app). I was not hooked up to the computer at the time. Simultaneously, the HD accessed my SD card, even though the file was stored on internal memory.At the time, I thought there might be an issue with either Open Explorer or the Office app, as I was able to recreate it 3 times.
On the other occasion, I was hooked up to the computer like both Compulsive and Juniona, and deleted a corrupted book I had just sideloaded through Calibre; on that occasion, I thought the issue might have been my fault because I may have deleted before I actually closed out the ebook. Again, although all my sideloaded books were on internal memory, the HD tried to access the SD card right before the shelves disappeared.
5ivedom also lost shelves when deleting a scrapbook while connected from the computer. I know Juniona's books were on her SD card; were yours Compulsive?
Others have reported losing shelves when adding a child profile.
It almost seems as if the HD gets mixed up regarding which drive to access in these situations.
Some have also reported losing shelves when turning the HD off and restarting; I'd be curious to know what occurred right before the shutdown and restart. For those reporters, at least one did not have an SD card installed.
ArticleView in Nook Browser missing for vision impaired usersStatus: Duplicate
The stock NOOK browser in 2.0.6 had ArticleView which allowed me to read a web article in a single text-based format with large type and double spaced lines. The ArticleView Nook browser was removed and replaced by a Chrome browser without this capability in the Nook 2.1 update.
ArticleView was more than just a nice feature - it is nearly essential for those of us with vision problems. Barnes and Noble has taken a big step backwards for Accesibility (ADA).
BN: please allow us to reinstall the 2.0.6 Nook Browser from the BN Shop!
Please remember your older and vision impaired customers. The Nook HD's ArticleView browser and ePub book format were the reasons we chose the NOOK HD/HD+ over competitor's devices. We chose a Nook, not a generic Android tablet. Please respect our choice and please help us with our special accessiblity needs. Give us back the ArticleView browser, at least as an option.
Number of books on each shelf gone since 2.06 updateStatus: Under Review
Since the update, when you open a shelf,it no longer shows how many books have been placed on that shelf. I own an NST and an HD, and with the loss of this feature, there is no longer any mechanism to sync my shelves between devices, especially as the 2 devices alphabetize books slightly differently.
B&N is sending out settlement ID numbers with no hint of what to do with themStatus: Under Review
Really, B&N??? What am I supposed to do with this number now that I have it? Or am I supposed to be somehow happy that I have a 13-digit number, suitable for framing?
For anyone who hasn't gotten one yet, you can get it here: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/ebook-settlement/379003739/
As for what to do with it once you get it, we can all wait with bated breath.
Battery Issue After Update. - Nook HDStatus: Under Review
Posted else where but was told to post here.
I just install the new update a couple of days ago and now my nook HD doesn't seem to hold a charge. It will pop up that my battery is critically low with no prior warning while actively reading. Turned off wi-fi thinking maybe that was the issue.
What I am also noticing is a plug it in. And within a few minutes I have a charge of 44% or better. Even when it charges fast it doesn't charge that fast. So I unplug and within an hour I'm back to critically low.
I know I'm a heavy user especially while off of work for two weeks but it would go all day even with heavy wi-fi use without going dead. This morning I unplugged it. Headed to church. Had no one in my nursery so I was reading and within 90 minutes getting the critical low battery.
It seems like the update is either doing something in the background that is killing the battery or that somehow the true battery capacity is no longer being read correctly.
Anyone else having these issues. I have the warranty and not sure if I should be calling this in or not.
The problem is I get no warning just a critically low battery warning. So I quick turn it off if I'm away from home or plug it in if I'm at home. Then suddenly has has 50% battery so clearly the battery isn't drained it just is having some weird glitch. Last night I read my nook for several hours in a row just like in the past, plugged it in before bed. Got up this morning, unplugged, and in 51 minutes I got the ciritical battery warning. I plugged it in and then looked at the battery usage in settings and I had 49% battery. I'm very frustrated with this update.
Also have some glitchy stuff with a couple of apps. Try to open File Digger and Overdrive opens.
Hope it gets reupdated soon because you can't take it back to before the update.
HD v2.1 highlights not showing in off-white themeStatus: Under Review
It seems that creating a highlight in the "off white" theme (bottom left selection) will end up in the highlight not showing on the screen. Also, when creating a highlight in any theme and then switching to another theme, then the highlight will disappear also.
The highlight just does not appear on screen. It does show in the Content listing, and if you tap on a phrase you know is highlighted it will bring up the menu to remove/add note/change color.
Current workaround is to just not use "off white" or not switch themes but I would assume it should just work

When you enter the Archive section through the Library on an HD/HD+ there is a nice back arrow at the top left that brings you back to the Library.
e.x I tap Library from the home screen, tap the navigation options in the bottom left corner, and tap View Archive. To go back to the Library I simply tap the back arrow at the top left.
Prior to 2.0.6 the Apps menu had a back arrow that brought you back to the Library. This was removed in the most recent update, but the removal of that back arrow means that when you enter the Archive from the Apps menu there is no way to navigate back.
ex. I tap Apps from the home screen, tap the navigation options in the bottom left corner, and tap View Archive. There is no way to navigate back to the Apps menu aside from going all the way back to the home screen.
Just need that back arrow back when you're viewing the Archive from the Apps menu.
A persistant back navigation would fix all of this as well... Just saying.
Books sort orderStatus: More Info Needed
When I look at Library My Files Books I cannot see what the sort order is. And if I switch between Title
and Most Recent there is no difference in the book order. As you might imagine this makes it almost
impossible to find anything.
Yes, I know I can search but searching does not allow shelving.
Missing covers on newly purchased B&N movies and redeemed UV movies in Nook video library.Status: Open
Since September 11 or 12, 2013, newly purchased B&N movies, and UV redeemed movies that are not listed as unsupported (ones that can be played directly from the Nook video library) are no longer downloading with covers. Only those videos redeemed elswhere, but listed as unsupported in the Nook video library are showing up with covers.
This is occurring on all 4 of our HS/HD+ devices.
HD+ 2.0.6 update wiped access to AppsStatus: Under Review
My HD+ was updated with newest version of the software 2.0.6 today.
Following the restart, my profile (the only one on the device) could no longer access any Apps.
This happened to me when I updated to 2.0.5, so already an issue known to B&N. WHY AGAIN?!!!
Apps still there, as listed under setttings>applications, but not under library or from the Apps button on home screen.
Accessing edit profiles>manage content>Apps I was able to reinstate access to stock Apps. Not to any of the purchased apps, which weren't listed.
Purchased Apps can be accessed via the hidden apps drawer - go to Apps page & tap the word Apps at the same time as holding down the volume up button.
You surely don't expect me to do this every time I want to use an App?
Deregistering the device will 'bring the Apps back' but I will lose my sideloaded version of Flash, so I am not willing to do that. Being in the UK, no flash in B&N shop for us & most of our key websites (BBC, ITV, Youtube) need Flash. Not to mention having to set up all my login details for 20+ internet accounts yet again.
So a less destructive solution, please.
Thank you.

Shelving Bugs - Post .2.06 (plus 2 prior to 2.06)Status: Under Review
With the 2.06 update, you no longer have the abilty to remove a book from a shelf from the " books" section of your library; this option is now only available within individual shelves. This bug greatly impacts one's ability to tell if a book has been shelved or mis-shelved.
Additionally, if you tap on "add a book" , and you determine the book you wanted to shelf was already shelved where you wanted it, there is another bug that won't allow you to tap outside the shelving option box to cancel the shelving action. You are forced to put the book an an improper shelf. Then, because the "remove from shelf" option is no longer available within the main book section, you have to go within a shelf to remove the blasted book. This second bug has been present since the HD line was introduced, but we posters have been negligent in reporting it. This ability to tap outside the shelving option box always worked perfectly on NC and NT.
The final bug with shelving is the loss of the ability to shelve books from a search. This was a feature in NC and NT, and I can't conceive the loss of this ability was intentional. The ability to shelve from a search allowed users to shelve more efficiently.Of course, it could be enhanced by enabling a "shelve all" from a search option.
Popular Mechanics crashes reader on HD+Status: Open
Trying to read the latest issue of Popular Mechanics on my HD+ running 2.1.0
After only a few pages I get "unfortunately reader has stopped"
Happened multiple times, now the mag won't even come up.
My other mags seem fine.
I had a few problems with this mag prior to the new software update, but never this bad.
2.5 Year old goes on spending spree when parental controls have SHOP DISABLED for child's profileStatus: More Info Needed
I have 9 issues to report. I will post them 1 at a time. some may be functionality choices--for whatever reason--, several are security, a couple are complaints, but most are issues.
We have a NookHD, have passcode set for adult profiles and parental controls limit our son to his apps, nothing else....so when I started seeing charges for games and additional apps on my bank statement....that my wife and I didn't pay for--- I started investigating....and when I found that all of the apps I tested from a restricted profile (that disabled SHOP) were allowed to call the function to display the shop screen for the additional software linked or advertised within a game/app...I was shocked...and my son was happy because 2 clicks later he has circumvented the programming expertise of the nook parental profiles.
As a parent I am completely dissapointed. As a developer I am shocked, and as a consumer, I chose the Nook for 3 specific reasons, one being the profiles/parental controls. And this issue has been enough for my wife and I to consider demanding a return/refund and to invest in a competing product.
My testing found children's books that advertised another book (and linked to the shop screen for that book would limit the shop screen (showing the details of the book) to allow for a sample only...whereas an application would allow the child to buy it by clicking buy-confirm.
Thank you for addressing this concern.
Credit Card 'dings' with gift cardStatus: Closed
What is the plan for fixing the CC dings with I buy an ebook with a gift card?
When I buy a book I understand you hit my CC for a few cents (usually 1 - 4). After acknowledging that the CC is valid it should come off. Instead those pennies are being deducted from my order total and the balance is being charged to my gift card and my CC statement comes with a bunch of 0.01 charges. I'm putting together a spreadsheet with all these charges and this has been going on at least since August of last year, I still have to go back to Feb. 2010.
Yes I have removed and readded both credit cards and gift cards, as was suggested by customer support. She has no other solutions except 'check the account after every purchase and call us when it happens'. That does not sound like a solution but like something is broken.
It used to work so any idea when it will work again?
Issues with opening downloaded books on nookStatus: Open
There is this one book 'Legacy by Kate Brian' which i have purchased but am unable to read.
Whenever i try to view the book it comes up with the message 'error dialogue:sorryannot open this book' it seems to be only thi book, and when trying to view it on the computer at barnes and nobles in my library all it says is 'product data not available'.
I've restarted my nook a lot, repurchased and redownloaded the book and yet it stays unreachable to me -any suggestions on what to do?
HD+ 2 or 3 touches neededStatus: Under Review
NST/NSTG: Add option to turn off auto-downloadStatus: Open
B&N, you may consider this a "suggestion;" I consider it an "issue."
Some of us really like the Nooks, own more than one at this point, and purchase a lot of content. But that doesn't necessarily mean we want all that content on our NST/NSTG's.
Here's the issue. Whenever I turn on the wi-fi on the NST and do a sync, it automatically downloads my last 5-6 purchases whether I want them on the device or not. And the device doesn't have that much on board memory (it will hold a considerable number of standard epub books; but magazines and certain lengthy non-fiction titles are considerably larger files.) Yes, I can go through and archive items that I don't want downloaded to the NST (and then unarchive them later on the other device.) But that's taking away from my reading time, which in turn reduces the B&N purchases. (The other alternative is that I archive everything on the NST one day, sideload all my content and never turn on the wi-fi again.)
Really hope that you will "fix" this on the NST/NSTG. At a minimum, please incorporate this into the software for the next e-ink device.
HD+ - Library, My Files - Sorting by Title is brokenStatus: Under Review
If you go to Library, then My Files, and select the ">" sign to the right, you see the list of folders that are currently on the device. But if you try to use the "Sort by Title" feature (bottom left hand side, second from the left), the order never changes. Oldest folder is always first, most recent is always at the bottom. Makes no sense. And makes it difficult to find things. Please look into this. Thanks!
Free the HD/+ Calendar ApplicationStatus: Under Review
(Hope this is not a duplicate -- I spent 15-20 minutes entering text using the HD+ but it seems to have gotten lost when using the [post] button)
The 2.0.6 HD/+ update activated the widget capability and supplied a set of stock widgets.
The only one that caught my interest is the one that displays a summary of the calendar.
Unfortunately, the Calendar application itself is still unusable in stand-alone mode. Not everyone has access to a corporate Exchange Server account or the equivalent!
Please consider updating the Calendar application so that it can be used as a personal appointment/schedule book without needing to be linked to some third-party server application. Even my decade old WinCE PDA has a stand-alone calendar capability!
Alternatively, B&N should provide a compatible calendar server, linked to one's B&N Nook account credentials, as a free feature to go along with the stock calendar application. It might even be possible to use the Friends list for purposes of sharing schedules with others.
Note that I do not ask that the Nook be capable of synchronizing with a (non-Exchange) desktop Outlook (calendar and contacts) though that would be nice... The cross platform design just seems more than one could expect (unless M$ themselves provide the synchronization utility).
I only ask that the calendar application itself be made to run in stand-alone mode for those of us without an external server in the loop.
HD+ Library Viewing and Sorting parametersStatus: Under Review
The current sorting & send to the cloud options for viewing the HD+ library is very cumbersome. The NC's was way better and this isn't saying much for a brand new ICS based system.
I would like to see several options added to the sort... besides single sort option of by recent, or by title , or by author consider letting the HD+ library have an option that would display the by Author by Title on separate "shelves" like it did in the Nook Color as a wee bit faster option to look up a book. The best would be to have an option to view by title or author by an alphabetic list that would take you to the items that start with that "letter".
I would also like to be to view the library without the in the cloud items showing.. The options on the library viewing has look at archive ... have the sent to cloud only display on the archive screen. Also on the HD+ since the 2.0.5 update I can go to manage my archived items but "redownloading to the device" is no longer an option!!! I have to either unarchive the book via my old NookColor and/or log into my account via a PC and unarchive it so I can get an archived item back on my Device.. Please fix this!!

Highlights changing color on HD+Status: Under Review
Last night I was highlighting text in a book I have been reading. I change my highlights to yellow. After an hour, I closed out. I opened the book on my HD+ this am to continue and everything I highlighted last night changed to red or black. Anything previous to last night was still yellow. I continued reading and highlighting this am in yellow. Highlights appeared to be yellow. At lunch time at work on I went on Nook for PC and opened the book. Same deal with last nights highlights- red or black. Also the stuff I highlighted this am was red.
Also, this am, if I tried to remove the highlights from the HD+, the reader froze up.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Device/cloud view for libraryStatus: Under Review
Page 6 of the quick start guide shows device/cloud buttons on the top of the screen. I am running firmware 2.05 and do not see these buttons. My books view in the library shows all my books (1805). The books that have been downloaded to my device are missing the download arrow. There is no easy way for me to see only the books I have downloaded to my device. If there is something I am missing please let me know.
NOOK Friends Activities Issue with wrong book matchesStatus: Under Review
This is a repost from another group. It was suggeted I post it here.
With the latest NST software release, there was more emphasis on this feature.
Problem is, it's mis-identifying books in a disastrous, inappropriate, and offensive way.
My teen daughter (also a NOOK owner and Facebook friend) grew up reading the Warriors series by Erin Hunter and liked it on her FB page. When this translated over to her "activities", it shows up as this book: Warriors by Cain Berlinger. This is erotica, I believe of the gay male variety (based on the description).
Problems after Update 2.2.0Status: Open
absurd page numbersStatus: Under Review
I just bought the book Imager:
According to the product details, the book has 488 pages. I know that the nook version will sometimes show different numbers of pages depening on font and text sizes etc, but on both my simple touch and on the pc reader app, it shows this book as having 1339 pages, and when I hit the next page button the "current page" indicator will skip up by sometimes as much as 3 or 4 pages.

Angry Birds 3.0 update not availableStatus: Open
2.1 update has degraded Bluetooth streaming audio qualityStatus: Open
The new update has completely degraded the audio quality of streamed Bluetooth music such that the nook HD is no longer suitable to this task. The audio quality used to be fine--though it was not as good as a wired connection, it still worked well. Now the sound is as if it is underwater.
This is not strictly a BN thing, lots of andriod users report this on 4.2 phones. However, since the problem is well documented and a fix is readily available on the net, this probably did not need to happen.
The problem appears to be excessive bit reduction in the audio data. The result is a loss of signal at the high end and an excess amount of bass. Simple EQ cannot compensate for this since you cannot get the lost data back. The reduction in data is fine when using bluetooth for phone calls, where you want to cut out the high end and increase the bass. (Talk radio uses the same filtering to make the people speaking more understandable.) But this filtering is devistating to music. This compression algoritm should never be used on a nook, which cannot even be used to make phone calls.
The fixes out there do seem to work but require rooting. I hope we get a patch soon that addresses this so I can avoid rooting my device.
Broken Screen on Nook ST with GL: WE MUST TAKE ACTION!Status: Under Review
My Simple Touch screen broke after 3 months of use; I was told by the customer service agent in Bangalore that B & N does not replace broken screens (unlike Amazon, which replaces broken Kindles immediately.) Please submit photos of your broken Nook to Instagram and use the hashtag #nookfail. Let's see if we can shame B&N into supporting their products.
same web browser instance across all profilesStatus: Confirmed
ISSUE: same instance of web browser in different profiles
My wife is surfing the net and stops on a page on Rachel Rays cooking. I switch to my profile, open the web browser, and I get to start from Rachel Ray's cooking page.
This is a big CON on the user experience. And it is a major setback from a true "separate profile" experience.
This is both a user privacy element, and functionality element. Will this be repaired?
Thank you for looking at this.
Nook video issues and app issues widespreadStatus: Open
The New Yorker magazine file format change. Is it permanent?Status: Open
Prior to September 23, 2013 I received The New Yorker magazine in a custom format that worked quite well on the Nook. It included a way to view all cartoons in the issue in one screen, as well as many other helpful features. Since that date, however, the format has changed. The week after that I received the issue in completely plain ePub format. It was completely useless for magazine content. After that the issues are arriving in plain PDF format. That might work on a larger screen but is, again, useless on a small screen. And only the main articles include "Article View" that allows content to be read outside of the fixed format of a pdf file.
I'm trying to find out if this is a permanent change in file format. I much prefer the previous, custom file format. The people at The New Yorker keep referring me back to Nook support. Nook Support says they are only distributing the file. Who can answer this question?
Here is the text of my original message to Support at The New Yorker:
The Nook edition of the New Yorker has been delivered electronically
over the last few weeks once in ePub format and twice in PDF format. I
much prefer the digital format that the magazine was delivered in prior
to the Sep 23, 2013 edition. That custom format was much easier to read
on the Nook. I am even considering canceling my subscription if I
continue to receive the magazine in plain PDF format. Is this a
permanent change or a temporary technical problem?
Google Voice crashes in 2.1.0 HD+Status: Open

Location for charging port needs to be moved to top edge rather than bottom edge!Status: Open
I am having difficulty recharging my Nook, I believe that the port itself has become loose from the memory board. I believe this problem could be avoided by moving the port to the top of the Nook instead of the bottom. I hold the Nook close to me as I would a book which results in stress on the port as I usually continue to read even when my Nook is recharging. If the port was located at the top edge of the nook instead of the bottom edge it would not be affected when being used while recharging as the cord would not be bent at the plug as it is when the plug is at the bottom and it is used while recharging.
Unable to upload to SD card using a PC after software update 2.0.6Status: Open
I just updated to 2.0.6 and now I can't upload anything to the SD card

As you might imagine this appears as a serious issue to me.
I have tried removing/reinserting the card, soft reset. Nothing resolves
the issue.
Nook HD+ Music PlayerStatus: Under Review
Initially I was happy with this player - until I didn't use it for more than a day. It then (apparently) shut itself
off and I lost my position in the 2 hour recorded radio program I was listening too. This is bad enough with
music but an absolute deal breaker with audio books My $30 MP3 player does a better job of maintaining
its position between sessions.
This needs fixed. Believe me - not everyone listens to their music one song at a time in shuffle mode.
Some of us are a little more serious about it and there ARE those who would like to listen to audio books
without keeping a dairy.
Is there a MP3 app for the Nook HD+ that maintains position in what is being played - no matter the length
of time between sessionsor do I have to pull out my $30 MP3 Player everytime I pick up my $300 Nook??
UltraViolet videos not in libraryStatus: Open
Even with my HD+ linked to my UltraViolet account my videos are not shown in my library. I have two UltraViolet videos (Hobbit and Life of PI) both are available from the B&N store but they still do not show in my library, only in the Flixster app.
Nook ProfileStatus: Open
I have an old first edition Nook reader which is registered under a previous email address. I am unable to change the email address on the Nook. I have the Nook app on my tablet which is registered using my current email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. I went through the process to unregister and re-register the Nook, but when I change the email address it tells me the address is already already in use.
Library NOT SyncingStatus: Open
I don't know which Nook I have. I bought it from a friend. It's black and white, does not have internet browsing. It's made just for books and I cannot even read on it!
I can see the books in my library when I go onto my laptop and log in, but on my Nook device they are not syncing when i press the sync button. I only have about 10 or so books. I have tried deregistering/reregerstering. My wifi connection is strong.
This is my first Nook and I was really excited about it, but now I am just getting frustrated. I spent 50 dollars and I cannot even read my books.
Manga and Magazines not legible on latest Samsung devices, including Tab 4Status: Open
I have a Samsung Galazy S5 and Tab 4 8.0.
I bought the Tab 4 from T-Mobile before I found out B&N would be selling them for far less.
The problem I am having is with the Nook app released in May of 2014. It works fine for text based works, such as novels and even technical books. However it is unusable for magazines with images, or manga at all. I'm very sad to see that there was a posting of a similar problem with the latest Android versions posted 2 years ago.
With Magazines, opening one up gets you immediately into "article view" which is essentially the text of the article, but attempting to click on the magazine page itself to view any graphics causes the application to exit. Imagine trying to view National Geographic this way, or any Manga. I believe some one else has complained of comincs being broken the same way, but they attributed it to the latest Android versions.
In any event, I spent something like $200 at the Viz website because their manga reader works. I wanted to buy more magazines, manga and other things via B&N but until this is fixed I'm afraid I can't order more from B&N.

Ruben Ortiz built his own garage theater from top to bottom, including a custom screen and starfield ceiling.
AVS regulars may know Ruben Ortiz, aka SandmanX. This AVS Forumite not only has a construction thread with well over one million views (and 118 pages), but he took his DIY obsession to the next level—the professional one.
Shortly after creating his theater in 2006, Ruben founded SmX Cinema Solutions. "SmX started from an acoustically transparent screen surface I developed," he says. "It was something I developed for my personal theater due to the existing screen companies' screen surfaces lacking one thing or another." Most of those issues had to do with alternative audio transparent screen materials. Well, Ruben must have done something right because, to date, there are countless numbers of people online raving about them.
Before he started the company, Ruben had a post-production A/V studio in New York City. He also had a hankering to create his own home theater.
Although many home theater enthusiasts use spare rooms or basements for a theater spot, Ruben sacrificed his 2-car garage. See, homes in Florida just don't have basements. Besides, "we solely used our garage to store junk," Ruben says. He dumped the junk and created a floor plan.
Because the theater was located in his garage, Ruben first needed a way to keep the sound from escaping into the neighborhood—or into his house. The solution was to create a "room within a room," using double-layered Sheetrock, staggered studs and insulation. Aside from solving the sound problems, this addition will also make it easy to demolition the room (perish the thought!), if Ruben ever decides to sell the house.
Adding those extra layers led to one of the most challenging parts of the entire project: installing in the ceiling. At first, Ruben wanted 8-foot ceilings, so he made the walls eight feet tall and ran the ceiling joists. "Well, after all was said and done, I stood in the theater and realized I would risk hitting my head on the light trays when up on the rear platform," he says. "Plus, the room felt a bit claustrophobic to me with the lower ceiling, because I am 6-foot-3." He tore down the joists and built another 12-inch wall extension to add some ceiling height.
Naturally, that was far from the last of the challenges with this install. In fact, it seemed as though Ruben thrived on them. One of his projects was building a starfield ceiling. "It was a fun and interesting job," Ruben says. "Plus, I really didn't know of any companies that manufactured ceilings like that back then." Of course, now there are many companies that make similar products, but Ruben's is his own. "It was really spectacular to see it light up the first night we installed it."
One challenge that wasn't as fun or interesting: a hit from hurricane Wilma. Power outages in the area kept Ruben from working on his theater for about two weeks. He can't complain, though. Only a bit of his roof and some outside lighting got damaged. It kept him away from the project, but that diversion wasn't as difficult as the task of finding that perfect spot for the theater equipment. For about a year, the equipment sat in the theater room. However, the lights and fan noise became "annoying," Ruben says. To keep the peace (and Ruben's sanity), he took everything out and relocated it right outside the theater—not nestled in between the cars in the driveway, but right before you walk through the theater door. "I had to re-run all of all the wires to accomplish this, which wasn't fun."
Ruben kicked off his theater two years ago with an HD-DVD showing of King Kong. Fast forward to today, many large post-production studios, such as Disney Studios, 20th Century Fox, Deluxe Color Labs and some of the world's biggest directors and producers, use SmX screens to produce movies on. They aren't the only ones that rely on Ruben; AVS members are still looking to his construction thread, as well as his screen company, to make some of their theater dreams come true, too.

What will Sears tell investors Thursday?
The retail chain is holding a rare earnings call. Could it have bad news to share?
Interestingly, Lampert, who regularly vows to do better in shareholder letters, is not scheduled to speak on Thursday's call. Blogger Jeff Matthews, who first noticed the development, is not expecting good news. "After all, good news takes care of itself, but bad news needs explaining," he writes.
A spokesperson for the Hoffman Estates, Ill., company could not be reached for comment. Shares of Sears Holdings, which have surged more than 60% this year on rumors that Lampert will take the chain private, are trading up $1.59 to $52.53, indicating that investors are not worried about the call. Matthews, however, may be onto something.
Under Lampert's leadership, Sears has repeatedly disappointed shareholders. Sales have declined for more than a dozen straight quarters, in part because the company has failed to articulate a coherent brand strategy. If Wal-Mart (WMT) has everyday low prices and Target (TGT) is where middle class shops, why do people need Sears? There must be more of a reason than the chance to acquire exclusive Kardashian merchandise. The reality-show family seems out of place next to well-regarded Sears brands such as Craftsman tools and Diehard batteries.
Lampert's stewardship of Sears Holdings has been a disaster from the get-go. Last year, Louis J. D'Ambrosio was named as CEO despite having no retail experience. Sears has since named ex-Brookstone executive Ron Boire as chief merchandising officer, which was a step in the right direction.
After a disastrous holiday season, Sears announced it would close as many as 120 poorly performing stores. Shareholders were left scratching their heads recently after Lampert bought $160 million in Sears stock without explanation.
Sears also is facing renewed pressure from J.C. Penney (JCP), whose resurgence under CEO Ron Johnson is earning kudos from Wall Street. By comparison, Sears comes across as outdated. Its best hope for success is as a private company.
D'Ambrosio should prepare for the conference call as if his job depends on it -- because it does. It also will be a wake-up call for Lampert.
"Either way, good or bad, the call does mean one thing: Eddie needs Wall Street now, and he needs it more than Wall Street needs Sears," Matthews says.
--Jonathan Berr is long Target.
Sears branding like Kenmore ,Craftsman and Diehard are worth more than the company
itself. It needs to reinvent itself as a smaller type retailer - that is dump the huge stores and go for a smaller foot print that sells those great brands. Dump the clothing, Curtains, and all the other crap that anybody can sell.

Mashpee Girls Basketball Halts Hull, 51-43
By: Rich Maclone, February 14, 2014
Just a week ago, on their home court, the Mashpee High School girls suffered a blowout loss to the Lady Pirates of Hull High School. On that night, the Falcons could do seemingly nothing right and things went from bad to worse as the contest ran on.
With that loss already in hand, it would have been a safe assumption that the Lady Falcons would once again take one on the chin Wednesday night when they went to play the Lady Pirates on the South Shore. That assumption proved to be dead wrong, though.
Behind the outside shooting of guards Summer Fierro and Raegan Silvia, Mashpee torched the nets and scored a 51-43 win to upset Hull. The victory was Mashpee's second South Shore League victory of the year, and improved the team to 6-14 overall in its penultimate contest of the season.
MHS rounds out its campaign tonight with a road trip to Cohasset High School at 6:30.
For three-quarters of the game, Mashpee was clearly the better team. However, one wonky period nearly cost the Lady Falcons dearly.
The first half saw Mashpee do a nice job running their sets, and shutting down Hull on the defensive end. Mixing up man-to-man defense along with a nice match-up zone, Mashpee pulled ahead by a 31-16 score at the half and it looked like they were in for clear sailing. Sam Raftery beat the second-quarter buzzer from 3-point range to run the team's lead up to 15 at the break.
Then the third quarter came around and it was as if someone forgot to restart Mashpee's engines for the second half. The Falcons' offense produced a goose egg in quarter number three. Hull used that to its advantage, outscoring the visitors 11-0 in the quarter to make a game of it, with MHS still clinging to a 31-27 lead as the final stanza began.
"We were reeling a little bit," coach Bob Catalini said. That sinking feeling really grew when Hull hit a shot to go up 40-39 with about four minutes left to play.
Just when it seemed that it would all fall apart, the Lady Falcons pulled themselves back together and finished the game quite strongly, outscoring their hosts 12-4 down the stretch.
An offensive rebound by Alex Gumbert led to a big 12-foot jumper by Morgen Morris (four points) that put MHS back in front. Hull countered with a basket to reclaim the lead, but it proved to be their final one of the night after Fierro (20 points) canned a huge 3-pointer. Another Hull miss was followed by another big Mashpee perimeter shot. This time it was Silvia that did the damage, swishing through one of her five 3-pointers in the game to make it 47-42 with just two minutes left to play. Silvia would finish the night with 19 points for the Lady Falcons.
"Their coach told me, 'we just can't touch shooting like that,' " Catalini said.
From that point forward, Hull began to foul and Mashpee was able to close it out at the line. Silvia added a pair of free throws, Sarah Whipper had one and so did Fierro.
"This was a good team effort," Catalini said. "They're fighters. These kids aren't mailing it in at all. Every game, they go out and fight."

A night earlier the Lady Falcons were bested by Rockland, 50-34. Fierro scored a team-high 16 in the game, but Mashpee was unable to keep up with the high-paced attack that the Rockland squad had that evening.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Yes, I agree with most of the comments. Douglass truly staring falling ince Mr. Brown became the Principal. We went to the board and Dr. Augustine last year regarding him and they would not listen. We will now select a new Prinicipal and we all have to support in bringing the school back to order. Parents need to get involved and support the school Come and visit and see what you can do to help build the school back. It can happen but we need your support. Remember in numbers we have the power.
Seriously, the principal hit lucky on a million dollars and decided that he was going to leave. Although Mr. J. Austin-Brown wasn't doing so great in the leadership department he still had a role as the principal of a school that isn't getting great reviews. Since I was in Douglass the school was unorganized and it seem as if only one counselor truly cared about the student (Mrs. Strickland). Honestly the school needs a more efficient principal such that of Dr. Horton who characteristics were far beyond true leadership.
I am a student at doug. . I am ashamed to tell people the school I go to. I really wIsh that I was going to another school any EXECPT Douglas. when we had our homecoming prep rally people didnt even want to sing the school song and the past students were looking very disappointed. I thought Douglas was going to be a good school because of the things i heard but as i was up there its nothing like it!
Douglass need a new principals that care about kids and education.My son is a 11th grader so I know the school is failing the teacher cant do all by there self.Douglass football teams need new uniform the principal need to do some funraiser an involve the kids and parents.
This school has fallen down. The principal has no control over the school. Teacher moral is low and many are trying to leave the school. It is a shame for a school that was once a High School of Excellence.
Going to Douglass was an overwhelming experience for me. My peers were so cruel and the staff wasn't all that great either. I had no choice but to withdrawl. However the teachers were awesome. Ms. Turley-Moore, Ms. Watkins, Ms. Bradshaw, Mr. Muhaamad, and escpecially Mr. Thibault. I miss them all dearly. Going to Douglass taught me something, it taught me about life and the real world. If only others could listen to the message that the teachers are trying to get them to comprehend. It would make the school alot better if the kids acted like they had some home training. Now don't get me wrong some of the people were friendly, and were willing to help someone in distress. But think people, how many people do you meet like that in a life time?
I graduated from Douglass in 2007 and I can honestly say that there was a dramatic change when Mr. Brown arrived my senior year. Everything changed and he just seemed as if he was afraid of taking charge. He acted as if he never had a role that required leadership skills. Now my little sister goes to the school and she justisfies everything that I said about Mr. Brown. He seems as if he is scared of the children! But overall, Douglass is a great school (i just wish Douglass would get another principal) But Douglass made me the woman I am today and I am proud to say that I am a Douglass High Astro Alumni.
My daughter went to FDHS and graduated 2007. My son is a senior who will graduate 2009. In the beginning, under the direction of Dr. Horton, I was inspired and excited about my children attending. Dr. Horton was a man who got things done and his staff followed suit. Unfortunately, when Mr. Brown came to FDHS, things changed dramatically. Although Mr. Brown's ideals and beliefs are geniune, and he talks a good game, he just doesn't have what it takes to get the job done! This is also apparent with his staff who seem to have no respect for him, fellow colleagues, parents, or students. I am deeply disappointed that my son has not received the quality attention and care that my daughter did when we began at FDHS. As with my daughter, my son will continue on to college and I'm grateful for the help he did receive. Thanks.
The School has made great improvements under the leadership of Mr. J. A.Brown
My daughter went to Douglass for 9th & 10th grade. Certain people in the front office staff are VERY RUDE and try to treat parents like children and the new principal, Mr. Brown, talks a lot of good game about changing things in the school, but nothing has changed yet. When my daughter was having problems in school, she could never connect with her counselor because the counselor wasn't in her office or her teachers wouldn't let her out of class. We'll see what her junior year brings in at North Atlanta - I'm hoping for better things all around!
Douglass high school is almost a great teachers just need to give the students more attention and one on one help
As a former graduate of Douglass and class of '98, being in the magnet program has helped me succeed in college. This school is one of the best schools in the school system. The teachers are there to help students and the students are there to learn. Of course there will always be slackers but the experiences that I have gained while attending Douglass has been a great experience. If your child plans on going to college I suggest having your child in the magnet program because once they attend college they will appreciate the experience. I know I have.
Dr. Horton, administrative staff and Teachers are wonderful. I have two children that attends and one who has graduated from Douglas High School. I was having a little trouble with one of my children and I took it to Dr. Horton's attention and he handled very well as would a concerned Principal and/or parent. My husband and I feel truly blessed to have our children attending this school.
I was a student at Frederick Douglass High school and I can say that Dr.Horton is doing a great job and with the help of his outstanding facility. Keep the good work up and stay focus.
I am a 1996 graduate of Douglass High School under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Samuel Hill. Douglass was a great school then and provided me with the foundation, both socially and educationally, to reach my highest potential. I will always be a true Astro.
I think that the school don't pay enough attention to the students I have seen students wondering in the hallways. Skipping class, pants sagging. I have even seen students who don't do any work in class, sleep in class and is still able to attend Douglas High. I do know that Douglas High scores great on their testing. But I don't think that they have the teachers who are concern. Im not speaking about all the teachers.
Well my son just graduated and he said he really loves it.
I have four children, one who graduated from Douglass last year, and three that are currently students there. Dr. Horton and the entire administrative and teaching staff are all very professional and thoroughly concerned with the well-being and success of each student. I am a true 'Astro' fan.
I have had two children to attend Douglass High under the leadership of principals Dr Hill and Dr Horton. I am thouroghly impressed with this school. Douglass is an overall great school. Douglass exemplifies great customer service. I would recommend this school to anyone.
I am a student in the class of 2005. I began my high school years at Douglass, however due to attendence issues I was removed. As I look back on my freshmen year, I truly do miss it. Douglass is a good school, and I still take in consideration that I may transfer back[if possible] and graduate, as I planned from the beginning!

Do you have the tools you need to turn off your water or gas?
May 17, 2014
Attach any tool you would need, like a wrench or other specialty tool, to a pipe or other location close by the gas and water shut-off valves. Mark the valves clearly, with white or fluorescent paint so you can see them easily with a flashlight. You might also want to post a sign with clear instructions which way to turn them, or other special instructions.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The governor says President Obama and U.S. Senate Democrat Tammy Baldwin are still operating their 2012 campaign offices in Wisconsin – with the goal of helping unseat Scott Walker next year.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said the Republican governor made his claim in a recent fundraising letter to potential donors. He's reportedly trying to raise $175,000 in 25 days.
The paper said Walker called his opponents "vengeful" and "bitter." And he said his critics would "rant, rave, smear, and distort" his message in his re-election bid.
The letter did not mention a possible presidential bid for 2016. Observers say Walker would have to win his governor's race before he could even be considered as potential White House material.
State Democratic Party chairman Mike Tate said Walker's campaign letter is his latest effort to blame Wisconsin's problems on others. Tate told the Journal Sentinel, "While Scott Walker wallows in self-pity, he also continues to distort a record of economic failure."
