I'm having the exact same issue. If you find a fix please update. Thanks!
Re: Wifi glitch after updateHadMyPhil Apr 25, 2011 5:44 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I've got this "glitch" also. I use WEP 64-bit. Though I've switch to WEP 128 and WPA (TKIP), I can't get it to work with any of them. My router doesn't have a WPA PSK option. I've attempted rebooting. I've not done a factory reset so I don't know if that helps or not.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatebrendan30 Apr 25, 2011 5:49 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
Very disappointing. The wierd thing is I can sometimes connect to an unsecured linksys that's barely in range so I reset my home router so that it is no longer password protected. No good.
It keeps cycling between "Obtaining IP address" and "disconnected".
Re: Wifi glitch after 1.2.0 update and Connection problemterWW May 2, 2011 10:49 AM (in response to brendan30)
I experienced the same problem just after the update. I can log onto a weak unsecured Netgear signal only. Attempting to connect to my WIFI results in cycling from connecting to disconnected. I contacted support via e-mail (forget getting through on the phone) and got some lame suggestions. My WIFI router easily connects to my 2 lap tops. It's not the router; it's the new software 1.2.0.
Has anyone received acknowledgement from BN concerning the problem?
Re: Wifi glitch after 1.2.0 update and Connection problemfuryu May 2, 2011 11:30 AM (in response to terWW)
To those (above) who have recently written about their wi-fi problems, please know that the wi-fi problem with the v. 1.2 update has existed since the update was first released, a week ago today. I lost all functionality (eventually, after I reset it myself) of my original NC. I now have a refurb'd one which BN sent to me; I have not allowed that one to update and it's working fine, just like my original one worked prior to the update. I can easily connect to the internet.I check into these boards off & on now... after posting extensively about my problems and not finding any info that fixed the problem (not that people here didn't try to help, they did... and others, unlike myself, received help and actually--apparently--fixed their NC), to see if the problem(s) continue and since they do, I'm not going to try to update my new refurb'd one yet.As for anyone receiving acknowledgement from BN concerning the problem, specific to the wi-fi problem: NO! There was the infamous reset of last Wednesday which may or may not have been related to the update, and someone wrote here that BN did acknowledge that somewhere here on this board. I never saw that BN acknowledgement but I didn't hunt for it either.In any event, if you read through these threads you will see that a lot of people have had problems with the update, regardless of whether it is wi-fi connectivity or someone else, and few, if any, have received much help from BN's tech support regarding it (again, some people garnered info here that helped them, at least initially). I contacted tech support five, maybe six times, and each time I had to go over the whole thing with them again and always wound up with "call back in 24 hours..."One CSR did, however, offered to send me the new (pre-owned) NC which I'm grateful to have since at least I am back to a functional one.If you go on FaceBook, you'll see that the BN page as well as the "Nook" page is filled with complaints about customer service. Pretty bad.You're right "terWW", it is not your router, it's the update.
Re: Wifi glitch after 1.2.0 update and Connection problemterWW May 9, 2011 7:55 AM (in response to terWW)
Here's an update to my connection problem after the software version 1.2.0 update.
I brought my Nook Color to a local Barnes and Noble Nook help desk. They "deregistered" and then registered my Nook.
This corrected the problem. I can again log into my secure home WiFi.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateendless7 Apr 26, 2011 9:42 AM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I had the same problem with my D-Link router and fixed it with a firmware update.
If you have the same model I do (DI-624 Rev. C), the only firmware version I was able to find that both worked with the NC and didn't reset my connection every hour or two was v2.76b20 (which was only officially released in Singapore, apparently).
If you have a different model, Google firmware for your model, but be prepared to try several versions (and note that D-Link's site only has the latest official version released in your country, so you may need to delve into user forums like DSLReports if that one doesn't work for you). I went through five or six before finding this one.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateJennelyn Apr 26, 2011 9:51 AM (in response to endless7)
I never got anywhere with tech support she left me on hold for forever and I gave up and had things to do. I do have a d-link in the house and I am having a new router installed today. If that doesn't solve the issue then I am going into BN. I think it's crap to have to go back to factory they should get a fix.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateJennelyn Apr 26, 2011 10:03 AM (in response to Jennelyn)
Their fix is this:
Please follow the steps below to Hard Reset your NOOKcolor. Please note that a Hard Reset de-registers your device as well as erases all local content such as contacts, sideloaded documents, personal information, 4 digit passcodes, etc. It is recommended that you backup any sideloaded material before continuing.
1. Ensure your NOOKcolor is powered off; to do so, depress the power button for 5 seconds. Your LCD screen should turn off.
2. With your NOOKcolor powered off, Hold the Home Key (NOOK "n," logo below the LCD), while simultaneously depressing the Power Button for up to 25 seconds.
3. Your NOOKcolor will begin the start up process, Do NOT let go until a confirmation window appears asking if you would like to, "Factory Reset Your Device?" This will De-Register as well as erase all content and information on your NOOKcolor (Including the 4 Digit Pass-code).
4. Depress the Home Key to continue with the Factory Reset.
5. Depress the Home Key again to Confirm.
6. Your device will now begin the clearing process. Upon completion you will regain access to your NOOKcolor however all account and personal information (email, contacts, pass-code, credit card, etc..) will be deleted from your device. You will then be able to Re-Register your NOOKcolor and start anew.
And then they said to redo the upgrade.
I do not see how this is going to fix anything. I am very disappointed in BN at the moment.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatembratch Apr 26, 2011 10:25 AM (in response to endless7)
I'd look to see if there's an IP address conflict. I did have a case where, for some odd reason, my NC and one other device on the network grabbed the same IP address through DHCP and it
caused this kind of symptom. You could try:
Something simple to try anyway...
- Shut the router and all the devices off
- Turn the router back on
- Turn each device on, in turn, and give them time to acquire an IP address
Re: Wifi glitch after updateJennelyn Apr 26, 2011 10:47 AM (in response to mbratch)
I have two xbox's connected, four laptops, and two main desktops all on the same network and now the NC won't connect. I don't think it is a issue of the same IP address. I am not moving settings around in my other devices to accomdated the NC. I think BN needs to come up with a "real" fix. In the mean time I will wait for the new router upgrade I am having installed anyway to see if that works.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateMattFL Apr 26, 2011 10:22 AM (in response to ThirdSon59)
If it's just one other machine that can't connect (assuming you have more than one other machine) its probably a duplicate IP address issue.
If the laptop is Windows, go to Start, Run. Type cmd and hit enter. Type ipconfig /release and hit enter. When you get the prompt back, type ipconfig /renew and hit enter.
See if the laptop and the Nook can both get on the network.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateWhorfin Apr 26, 2011 10:51 AM (in response to ThirdSon59)
The glitch I found is that the Nook can't connect to hidden SSID's any longer. I was able to verify this by enabling the broadcast of mine and the Nook connected without issue. I hid it and the Nook dropped the connection.
I presently have my router broadcasting the SSID, but filtering the MAC addresses.
I am hoping BN releases a maintenance update that corrects the hidden SSID issue.
For those of you entertaining their support telling you to reset it and then apply the update again...you are more than likely just wasting your time as the same issue should happen once you are back at v1.2.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateMattFL Apr 26, 2011 11:59 AM (in response to Whorfin)
So you chose "Other Network", typed in the SSID, and it wouldn't connect?
That's pretty odd.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateedmonddantes74 Apr 26, 2011 12:07 PM (in response to Whorfin)
What if you just forget your hidden network and then re-add it to the nook? I'm using my hidden network after the update without any problems...
Re: Wifi glitch after updateJennelyn Apr 26, 2011 12:18 PM (in response to edmonddantes74)
Got a new router from Verizon today. Funny now my NC works without a hard reset. It definitely has to do with the SSID and routers.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatechshrkt May 1, 2011 9:13 PM (in response to Whorfin)
This is the same issue I am having with my wife's CN we just bought today. Could not connect once I stopped broadcasting the SSID. When I manually add the network and WEP key, it goes through the 'obtaining IP address' loop and never connects. I turn the wifi off, reenable SSID broadcast, turn wifi on, and connect to the now visible network and it connects with no issues.
Have not noticed any interference problem with my wife's laptop or my wireless print server.
It looks like just a really poor implementation of the Network handling functions. This is the only Android device we have so far, but I assume Google was on the ball as far as the generic Android network implementation. It looks like B&N just borked it for their custom OS.
p.s. Our Nook is Ver 1.2.0

Re: Wifi glitch after updateWhiz May 2, 2011 7:12 AM (in response to chshrkt)
We just bought a Nook Color last Friday (4-29-11) after reading many glowing reviews of the product. Got it home and put it on the charger and was able to connect to our router to register it. Played with it that evening and even downloaded the free book, able to connect to the internet and several web sites. On Saturday it would connect to the router but said no internet. Still not able to get to the 'net. Weird that it worked out of the box but not after that. It supposedly was already updated with 1.2. Our IPod Touch connects with no problems still. The router was brand new at Christmas time so it's not a "old router" issue.
Should I call B&N tech support and add my voice to the apparently growing tide of discontent?
Re: Wifi glitch after updateWhiz May 6, 2011 7:42 AM (in response to Whiz)
Update to earlier post: Things are working just fine now. After reading though several forums about the problem, the easiest fix did the trick. Shut off the Nook, shut off the router, restarted the router, restarted the Nook. All is fine, no more problems. Not sure what a router "reboot" did, but it solved the problem. Our router is a recent model Netgear N600 and I understand that there have been problems with older routers and the Nook. Your mileage may vary.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateNookGuy62 Apr 26, 2011 1:23 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I'm having an almost identical issue on my office WiFi network. I was connecting fine right up till the upgrade, then after the upgrade I can't connect. I don't have the option here of reseting the router. This is a hidden SSID.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateedmonddantes74 Apr 26, 2011 1:37 PM (in response to NookGuy62)
has anyone tried forgetting the access point on the device, and then trying to re-connect? I bet if you:
1. Forget the ap/router from the device
2. turn wifi on the device off and back on
3. re-set up the connection to the router on the device
it will work again...
Re: Wifi glitch after updateHadMyPhil Apr 26, 2011 1:44 PM (in response to edmonddantes74)
I've done quite a few things, about the only thing I haven't done is cycle my router. I've factory reset, changed from WEP to WPA. Nothing. The update is buggy. I'm going to try a different router to see if maybe the issue is that the broken protocol is specific to certain router types or the update has bricked my NC (of course if it still doesn't work, it doesn't mean there isn't some router somewhere it may work with).

DON"T do that!!!!! It forgets how to find wifi!!! To recover requires a hard reset. What does work is to stay INCHES from your router.......
Re: Wifi glitch after updatenbl Apr 26, 2011 5:56 PM (in response to edmonddantes74)
I tried this and it did not work. Wish I would have seen these posts before doing the update. Everything was fine before the update. Tried the steps you suggested. I tried power cycling my cable modem and my Dlink DI-624 router and still no go. I tried changing the ssid name. I am running it open connection. Set to 801.11g still no go.
I cannot connect to my home wifi but I can connect to the neighbors linksys.
So whats up with all that. I am so frustrated....... I do not want to do a hard reset on the nook because I cannot see how that is going to help.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateGoing_Insane Apr 26, 2011 4:33 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
This is happening to me too- I have a Westell 327W that was originally not hidden but we connected via mac address. After updating the nookcolor, it makes it so that none of my computers (even the one plugged into the ethernet) can access the internet. I called tech support, told them I do not want to do a hard reset, and their response is for me to wait a week and call them back to see if they have a fix for it. Sigh. I will be following this thread to see if anyone comes up with a reliable work around.

Re: Wifi glitch after updatefuryu Apr 26, 2011 5:08 PM (in response to Going_Insane)
I've posted a couple of times about my problem, which is the same as those of you have described here. After updating my NC, which had worked flawlessly prior to the update, I could no longer access my Wi-Fi. I tried EVERYTHING... every suggestion here, and then some. I finally did a hard reset. I discovered that I couldn't get into that hard reset menu simply by pressing the on/off + N buttons without first plugging in the AC cord into the NC. The tech person didn't know that was necessary (I learned that on here).
Anyway, I''m sorry I did that. Now I get to the point where the NC looks for the WI-Fi connection and the same problem occurs. It recycles until it stops searching. So now I am without any NC functionality.
B&N said they'd replace it. I just found out they are replacing it with a refurbished NC not a new one. Great. Given that the NC hasn't been 'out' that long, what does it tell you that they have refurbished ones already?
I am disgusted with B&N and the Nook Color and everything associated with it. If this episode, I mean, fiasco, hasn't convinced me to chalk it up and buy an iPad, I don't know what will.
I hear Amazon---which has the absolute BEST customer service in the entire universe---will be releasing a tablet in the not too distant future. That may be worth waiting for. After all, Amazon's Kindle is vastly superior to the Nook (original) so I can well imagine that their 'for real' tablet will be far superior to the Nook Color's 'patch-work' tablet.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateHadMyPhil Apr 26, 2011 5:40 PM (in response to furyu)
So I went to a B&N to see if I could provision my NC after a hard reset there, and it worked. My issue (I can't even guess if everyone else's WiFi issues are the same as mine) seems to have to do with my specific router (or its setup). I'll mess around some more and see if there some settings, such as channel or security settings, that will help. It sure looks like there's an issue in the Android 802.11g protocol implementation. My router reports that an Android device retrieved an IP from it, but it obviously didn't follow all the way through.

Hi, not sure how to fix it if it is, but when I look into the router, all of the IP addresses are showing as different.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatemagall Apr 27, 2011 12:45 PM (in response to Going_Insane)
I was having the same issues after updating to 1.2 with outside wifi. I haven't tried it at home yet.
But i could not get the login screen for xfinity or the hotel to show to allow me to login.
I removed my SD card and then on a browser page went to settings and cleared all history, caches and cookies. i tried again and when i went to the favorites and selecting a page a random it sent me to the login page for the hotel.
Don't know if it was the SD card or the clearing of caches/cookies both , neither but i was able to connect to the internet.
of course i cannot connect to the App store as it says it is unavaible at this time. the book store loaded fine though..so i am hoping there is an issue with the App store at the moment.
hope this helps someone
Re: Wifi glitch after updatelittle_millie Apr 26, 2011 6:37 PM (in response to Going_Insane)
I have the same problem with a Westell 327. I have no problem connecting in a B &N store. But every time I get my internet working for the computers at home and try connecting with the NC, I lose the internet. The NC keeps trying to obtain an IP address and eventually says the wifi is connected, but no internet. I guess until BN gets a fix, I will have to pay daily visits to BN.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatechacos Apr 30, 2011 5:09 PM (in response to little_millie)
I have a westell 327W also and this issue drove me nuts for a bit. I found that if I shut the Nook down and reset the router the computers and other gear connect normally. All is fine till Ifire up the Nook again. Leave the router off abit over 15 seconds and you should be OK, other than the Nook. I have disabled the Wi Fi on the Nook till something changes or another update comes down. I took mine to the local B&N in Wilkes Barre Pa. and basically was told that waiting for an update is the best option or dropping back to old version of the software. I choose to wait although another thought is that a different newer router may fix the glitch....
Re: Wifi glitch after updateswmitty1 Apr 26, 2011 8:22 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I have the same problems with my nook color knocking out my wi-fi at home. My PC is on wireless and I had to run a network cable from my PC to the westell router to get on the internet. Once I did that I was able to access the router and I disabled WEP. Now my PC will work on wireless again but if I enable wi-fi on the nook color it will knock out the PC. Then I turn off the NC and reset the router, the PC will work again. It seem that when the NC is on wifi, it removes the Gateway address on the router.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateSnowdove Apr 27, 2011 1:12 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I am having the EXACT same problem since the update. I have a D-LINK DI-624, so I can't do the firmware update since it's not supported anymore. I have 2 laptops and 2 XBOX's and an Andriod (Galaxy) phone that hooks up just fine. Everything has ALWAYS hooked up immediately to my router.
I've tried everything. I'm on DAY THREE of messing with this DAMM Nook Color. I was on the phone with tech support, who's answer was to call my ISP. WHAT????? Are you kidding me???
When I try to connect the WI-FI on the Nook, it finds my WIFI and then all it does is say "Obtaining IP Address" and sometimes it will briefly say "Connected, but no internet" before it starts "obtaining IP address again". Unless WIFI is shut off on the NC, my other devices (laptops) are interrupted continually while the Nook HAMMERS my router. Everything is restored to normal when I shut off the WIFI on the Nook Color.
Finally I got a supervisor on the phone and while he went through my router interface with me. We changed all the security settings and blah blah blah - but nothing worked.
I went to McDonalds to try their hotspot and it DID work there.
I can't get the IP address for the Nook so I can't hardwire a static DCHP to the MAC address because it never OBTAINS one so I don't know which IP address it's even trying.
I've found many posts in forums related to this - how it doesn't release the IP after DCHP lease expiration and it causes this problem. You can look up the problems they had at Princeton with this.
I have NO IDEA what to do. I guess I can go buy a new router and see if it works but I have no way of knowing until I do.
I'm LIVID. WHY DID I SEND MY IPAD BACK??????

I've had my Nook color for about 4 months, and I haven't had any problems, then today, that changed. The Nook reset itself, said something about a corruption and needing to reboot. It rebooted, and everything that we had on the nook is gone, (I still have it on the BN website so I should be able to reload everything, if I can get the darn machine to work right). The Nook is blank and I have had to start all over like it was brand new, except..now I can't get it to connect to our wifi at home. It shows that there is a connection to it, but it tells me that there is a connectivity problem. I rebooted it again, but this didn't help it. Anyone have any suggestions, before I contact the tech line?

The posts on this feed are good, but I believe no mater what we try it still wont work and it's definitely a BN problem. My tech guy was smart, polite and as helpful as he could be (he sounded liked he had been yelled at a lot today). He didn't even bother to try and troubleshoot. He said wait 4 hours and try again! That's the best he had!!! Good luck, and let me know if you get anywhere
Re: Wifi glitch after updateJillMV Apr 28, 2011 10:14 AM (in response to ThirdSon59)
And this is the reply I just got from B&N technical support:
"This afternoon, the NOOK Color 1.2 software update caused a small number
of NOOK Color devices to revert to factory settings. Barnes & Noble
immediately identified and addressed the issue. You can re-register
their Barnes & Noble account, then reload their previously purchased
content to their devices. You need to re-register the account that was
previously registered to the device."
Hard to say what they wanted me to do, let alone the possibility of this working...
Very frustrated by B&N not issuing a statement and not taking responsibility for the upgrade mess.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateCDreams Apr 28, 2011 11:29 AM (in response to ThirdSon59)
As I posted in another thread a possible source for this problem I noticed while I was looking through my router. I was curious if my router even saw the CN since the message my CN gives is obtaining IP address forever then nothing. Well the answer is yes my router is assigning an IP address but a problem exists. When I look at the list I see a hostname android_ [then following that is a series of numbers and NON-ASCII characters] some of what follows is binary information. I cross reference that name to my CN MAC ID and they match. From what I am witnessing is my router doesnt know what to do with this wacky hostname. This may not be the only problem but would explain the communication issue between the router and device.
Perhaps allowing the consumer to put in their own hostname in the device would be a solution and for the immediate seeable future perhaps find the missing character in the 1000 lines of code or take out the misplaced comment or whatever is in the code causing the hostname to be partially binary.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateAmyMacEvilly Apr 28, 2011 12:53 PM (in response to CDreams)
I am having the same problem.
Updated my NookColor to 1.2. Now when I have the WiFi on on my NC, our other machines cannot connect to the outside through the router. We have to turn off the WiFi on the NC and reboot the router. We have DSL and a Newell router.
There was a very useful post over on the Nook General Discussion Group under the topic "How is this even possible?" It's a DHCP problem with the update; it's a problem within Android.
The big question is: is B&N is aware of it and trying to fix it?
From what I've seen here, I'm not so sure . . .
Re: Wifi glitch after updateQuickbeam Apr 28, 2011 4:01 PM (in response to AmyMacEvilly)
I sideloaded the update on Tuesday and promptly noticed problems with connecting the wireless access point at work including my other wireless devices being kicked off. I do not have this problem with my router at home and NC shares the router with the same other two devices at home plus a different pc. I switched the NC from the WAP to a regular router at work, left the other devices on the WAP, and everything is fine.
Fortunately, I thought the problem was due to the wi-fi on my new phone and didn't brick the NC before switching it to the other router; but it really sucks that B & N is reacting to this so poorly. Having just engaged in a four month fight with HP to get brand new and badly defective laptop replaced, I find this pervasive lask of concern for the consumer very disheartening....
Re: Wifi glitch after update3dtroch Apr 30, 2011 3:25 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
It's good to know I am not the only one having these problems!! I did the manual update 5 days ago and have been having problems with WiFi ever since. I had no idea it would have been due to my Nook update. I have spent the past 5 days on the phone with my internet provider as well and we have gone through everything, NO LUCK and now I know why!!!! I am fed up. Reading the posts I now know it has to do with my Nook update and all I can say is this better get this fixed ASAP.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateGoldenmum Apr 30, 2011 5:36 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
Same problem here with the 327W. When Nook connects, everything else disconnects. Only way to restore is to reset router. I have also turned off wifi on the Nook until they fix this. Most inconvenient...
Re: Wifi glitch after updatebalidog May 1, 2011 2:00 PM (in response to Goldenmum)
Me too, the Westell 327W router. Wonder if some setting needs to be changed? I didn't have time to call Verizon to see if they can help? I can live with this annoyance but it would be nice not having to turn off the device, pc and router to get one or the other to work. Anyone found a way to make this work pre 1.2? I do not that NC and Mac are not sharing the same IP address.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatekeliLJ May 2, 2011 8:19 AM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I downloaded the update on monday and didn't really have any problems connecting. I messed up my (hotmail) email later in the week, so I stopped in at a store sunday night. The Nook person unregistered my Nookcolor and regesistered it. It worked fine in the store. Now, at home, I tries to connect and then disconnects.......I have been able to get online iwth a fair signal from an unsecured person. What's with this????

1.2 has dinged my westell 327w as well. first it would lock up the internet on all devices attached to my router. i did a hard reset (button method) and now NC and hard wired devices will work at the same time but two wireless laptops and a wireless printer still will not connect. i guess i will try a hard reset on my router tonite and see if i can get the laptops and printer to working and retry a hard reset again on the NC. if that fails then i will try to get a new router from at&t. if that fails i will return the NC and maybe try to exchange for a 1.1 version or just get the kindel what other choice do i have? this NC has really turned out to be a poopy mothers day gift. maybe b&n should pay us to do QC, lol.

There are a lot of people who posted solutions to the westell wifi problem so it thats your issue try a search thru the treads.
I haven't had any problems on any wifi network I have tried - I can even get a weak signal from my patio on a neighbors unsecured wifi. But I have my own router not one supplied by the cable company so I know exactly what my settings are. And except for locking down the security I don't have a lot of other options messed around with. I have my NC, my TV and my Blu-ray player all connected via wifi all the time and nothing ever gets knocked off.

I'm having the 'obtaining i/p address' problems on a Belkin N1 (F5D8231-4 v2000) Router that has the latest firmware. I found information from last August on an Android forum where people were having the same problem with their cell phones after they updated to Android 2.2 Froyo. Here's a link: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10170
One person wrote "I'm using a Netgear WG102 access point. I believe the WG102 and Belkin N1 both use an Atheros chipset, so maybe that has to do with the problem?".
I have been able to connect on an older Belkin router and on a new Netgear. On the N1 administrative page I can see it has assigned an ip address - it's the NC that doesn't know it's connected.
If they would just add the capability to assign a static ip address we could all connect again. I really don't like the suggestion that we should just go and buy new routers.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatetony71 May 9, 2011 8:23 PM (in response to tony71)
Well I fixed it sort of. First I downgraded back to 1.1 and then I had to hard rest my westell 327w and re-setup all my wireless devices. Now I can browse with my nook and all other devices as well. I noticed in this thread a nook moderator has acknowledged the problem with the westell modem
http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com/t5/NOOKcolor-Technical-Support/NOOK-Color-1-2-Update-Frequently-Asked-Questions/m-p/985066/message-uid/985066#U985066, guess I will wait until 1.2.1.
Re: Wifi glitch after updatelivelongstamp Jun 7, 2011 8:43 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
I also had the same problem with a Centurylink Westel 327.
After refusing to reboot the nook and looking at other routers ($100 for a decent one)
I took the plunge, rebooted like Amy******* described and WHAMMY!!!
The whole world is a happy place and Nook downloads faster too!!
I did not deregister it, just hit the Power Button / N Button and on the 6th time, it rebooted.
Took about 5 minutes, reloaded my books(another 10 minutes) and everything works perfectly.
I did lose my pictures but they are on my laptop so just a quick transfer and back in one piece.
If your hesitating on doing this, stop it!!
Good Luck!!!
Re: Wifi glitch after updateMarvinMartian Jun 23, 2011 3:34 PM (in response to ThirdSon59)
Mine connected fine until the upgrade. I believe that it is an Android problem. My HTC phone has trouble connecting the same places that the nook no longer connects to. I see this has not been updated in some time. I guess I have no solution forthcoming.
Re: Wifi glitch after updateroustabout Jun 24, 2011 9:47 AM (in response to MarvinMartian)
Marvin, if you have not bought a lot of apps from BN, you can roll back to 1.1 and root your device. Then you can buy use Marketplace apps instead of BN apps, your device is blocked from auto-updating, and you are back in the more reliable 1.1 network stack. The BN app store is not available to rooted 1.1 devices, but everything else and much more is.
Actually, if you have bought apps, I bet the developers would be happy to let you transfer your licenses from the BN app channel to the Android Marketplace.
Directions are at nookworks.blogspot.com:
roll back to 1.1 :
And finally, root. Either of the first two methods work on a 1.1 OS device, and the 1.1 OS has fewer network issues.
I really wish BN would release their own rollback tool for users who've had trouble with this issue, and I"ve asked in the community manager forum, but no progress at this time.

Practically Speaking
Kyle and her husband moved to Brookfield in 1986. She became active in local politics and started blogging in 2004. Her focus is primarily on local issues but often includes state and national topics, too. Kyle looks at things from the taxpayers' perspective in a creative, yet down to earth way, addressing them from a practical point of view.
Some food labels to state country of origin
http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2008-10-01-food-labeling_N.htm Food now gets label of origin
The labeling has been a long time coming. It predates by years concerns about domestic and imported foods after E. coli outbreaks and chemical contamination.
First proposed in 2002, the country-of-origin legislation finally took effect in full on Tuesday. All meats, fish, and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables must be identified by their country of origin, whether by a sticker, a sign, a placard or a label. Organ meats, such as heart, liver or kidney, aren't included.
The labeling originally was advocated by farmers and ranchers who believed consumers would choose U.S.-grown food. And today, consumer groups applaud the measure, saying it offers valuable information and choice.
The loopholes
But the consumer advocates are not thrilled with the many loopholes. For example, cooked and processed foods are exempt.
"You cook shrimp, it's not required to be labeled. Roasting, curing, salting, adding smoke flavor, all out," says Michael Hansen of Consumers Union. "You import a piece of fish and add a little smoke flavor … boom. Processed. Out."
The Consumer Federation of America estimates that these exemptions also will cover 95% of peanuts, pecans and macadamia nuts and 60% of pork.
And that's not all.
"If you combine two covered commodities, then the resulting food will not be covered. So frozen peas will be covered, frozen carrots will be covered, but frozen peas and carrots in the same bag will not be covered," says Chris Waldrup of Consumer Federation of America.
Foods for restaurants or cafeterias are excluded. And smaller retailers, such as butchers and fish markets, don't have to comply.
The law presents the biggest challenge for meat producers, who fought hard against it. Animals often are moved between states or even countries, and the new rules mean a lot of paperwork, says Mark Dopp of the American Meat Institute, a processors group.
But it's hamburger that may give consumers pause. Meat for grinding can come from a number of places, including Australia, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand and Uruguay.
The meat industry scored one victory when the regulation was being crafted. Instead of being required to break down where the meat in hamburger comes from, the label can simply say, "May contain meat from" and list source countries.
"It's going to be burdensome. It's going to be costly," Dopp says. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates it will cost $2.5 billion to implement the law. But Dopp says retailers expect to spend a lot more to create the computer records that will follow a piece of meat over what can be an 8,000-mile journey from cow to meat counter.
The large chicken and tiny goat industries asked to be included. All chicken and goat consumed in this country are U.S.-raised. "It would have looked weird if we weren't included," says Dick Lobb of the National Chicken Council.
Over in the produce aisles, it's not that big of a deal because 60% to 70% of fruits and vegetables are U.S.-grown and already labeled, says Robert Guenther, a policy expert with the United Fresh Produce Association. Previous labeling was driven by state branding initiatives such as "California Grown" or "Florida's Best."
The biggest challenges for produce sellers is making sure records are in place and finding a way to mark hard-to-label foods such as head lettuce, bulk mushrooms, bulk potatoes and unshucked ears of corn. "For those, we'll probably use placards," Guenther says.
Consumers may start to see loose produce being packaged. People generally like choosing ears of sweet corn from a bin. But now it will be easier for suppliers to shuck the corn, put it on a plastic tray and cover it with a label-friendly sheet of plastic wrap, Guenther says.
History of the law
The labeling law has been years in the making, originally written into a 2002 farm bill and scheduled to take effect in 2004. But food producers and processers mounted intense opposition because of costs.
In 2004, Congress voted to delay all but the seafood portion until 2006. Seafood got through because Alaskan officials wanted to differentiate their wild-caught salmon from farmed and imported fish.
Congress again delayed implementation in 2006. The Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 added a few items, requiring labeling on chicken, goat meat, ginseng, pecans and macadamia nuts.
The USDA doesn't plan to go into full enforcement mode for a few months to give its educational efforts time to take effect.

So Betty Kitten's Famous Parents Just Sound Fantastic
Betty Kitten Ross, the daughter of BBC host Jonathan Ross and screenwriter Jane Goldman, wins the Awesome Parents golden ticket. Ross, who revealed his daughter is gay this week in a radio interview, "was not making a statement," says his wife. "He was asked a question and answered honestly as he always does. … We are a very close-knit family and Betty is a very sensible young woman. She's incredibly kind, responsible and intelligent." As for Betty, who first came out as bi before going full lez, she says her parents are "totally cool" with her sexuality: "I've had crushes on girls forever, but I never really realised that that was being gay until I was quite a bit older. After a bit I came out as gay, but first only to my siblings and then properly to everyone, so it was fairly spread out over a long time period. I kind of always liked girls, but I thought all girls had that a bit so didn't really think anything of it. Then it just kind of clicked really."
He didn't "bring her up" – have you even listened to the interview? He was asked a question and answered honestly. Had he given a more generic "I like to think I'd be cool with it" answer and then the truth became known he would have been attacked for that. The guy is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
More credit to him and her. It's clearly a non-issue for them and he answered the question accordingly. Also, his jokes are far less offensive than say, Roy Chubby Brown's. Sure, they're in bad taste sometimes. But I like the odd bad taste joke. He hasn't said gays should be shot or beaten. And he didn't even say gay kids, he said a boy into Hannah Montana – a sentiment I agree with 110%. Liking her *should* be grounds for adoption lol
@Carl: @Carl:
Carl,You're right!! Wish everyone would lighten up__sometimes the eas of going to jugrment in the alleged gay "community" makrs Bachmann's "slaves of satan" comment pale by comparison.

Experts estimate that American voters have been subjected to more than 1 million political ads so far this year.
Here's one.
"Mitt Romney: Economic Traitor" comes to us from the labor-backed Super PAC Workers' Voice.
Here's a fact-check from Foreign Policy:
Bain bought the company in 2006, four years after the GOP candidate left Bain Capital. That's some shaky ground on which to build the case that Romney is an economic Benedict Arnold.
Romney a traitor? Really?

Paul Roder, co-artistic director of Hillsboro's HART Theatre, pines for the year 1946, a time when he believes, like a Normal Rockwell illustration, the world was more quaint and cozy.
"I feel like I was born in the wrong era!" Roder, 57, laughed.
One of the things Roder connects with most from 1946 is the Christmas film "It's a Wonderful Life," under the direction of the award-winning director Frank Capra.After years of watching the movie, Roder and his wife, Karen Roder, took the show to the stage with the adaptation by Joe Landry, "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play." In the performance, five characters who are part of the 1946 radio station WBRF play more than 50 roles.
When Roder brought the show to HART in 2011, HART's board asked him to become co-artistic director. Since, they've performed the show at HART for several seasons, making it an even more sentimental tradition for Roder. This year's production will have the actors in character when the audience arrives, the stage abuzz with pre-broadcast activity, commercial breaks, and Christmas carolers, too.
Roder said he's not the only one with strong attachments to "It's a Wonderful Life."
"It's a very accessible story – a man's journey to self knowledge," Roder said, speaking of the trials the main character, George Bailey, experiences throughout the story. "It speaks to people's universal urges to both see the world and make the world around you better."
Roder said that George Bailey's life is similar to most people's experience during holiday season – a time when reality confronts dreams.
"All of the sudden we are faced with what we can afford, if our decorations stack up to those of our neighbors, if our lists are fulfilled," Roder said. "The holidays can bring up people's concerns about success and status in life."
Through illustrations like "It's a Wonderful Life" and the adaptation to be performed at HART, Roder hopes that the messages in the story can restore faith in the simplicity of joy and thankfulness at the core of the holidays.
Like it was for George Bailey, "the path set out for you might not match the chart on the wall that you imagined, but that doesn't mean you're not successful," Roder said.

WASHINGTON -- At Wednesday night's presidential debate, Sen. John McCain said the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now is "now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy."
At ACORN's New Orleans office Thursday morning, Charles Jackson, a national spokesman for the group that advocates on behalf of lower-income Americans, regarded McCain's apocalyptic warning as preposterous.
"He is manufacturing a crisis," Jackson said. "We should be applauded for our achievement of registering 1.3 million new voters."
Instead, ACORN's voter-registration drives are being investigated by several states and now, apparently, by the FBI, because a certain percentage of the registration applications were fraudulent. Following the letter of the law, ACORN said that's a fact it brought to the attention of the same investigating authorities.
Three weeks out from the Nov. 4 election, ACORN's registration efforts are at the forefront of the presidential campaign, laying bare once again the deep and abiding fault line between the two parties on the explosive issue of vote fraud.
--- Partisan divide ---
When Republicans think about vote fraud, they tend to think about efforts to pad the voter rolls and steal elections with fraudulent and multiple ballots. They view Democratic opposition to what they consider sensible measures to tighten ballot access -- like requiring voters to produce a photo ID -- as a self-serving wink-and-a-nod to political corruption.
Meanwhile, Democrats tend to view Republicans' concerns as a smoke screen for GOP-controlled election systems that nefariously pare the election rolls of legitimate voters in the name of cleansing them of the dead, the felonious and those departed to other locations. To Democrats, these purges and "ballot security" efforts are the modern-day successors to the poll tax and literacy tests designed to keep black people from the polls during the Jim Crow era.
That's how the partisan lines have been drawn for about 40 years, the tension immeasurably heightened by the closely contested battle for pivotal electoral votes in Florida, which proved decisive to the election of George W. Bush in 2000, and in Ohio, in 2004.
--- Public confidence ---
Today, Americans are on the eve of a historic election. Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, an African-American Democrat, is leading McCain, a white Republican, in the polls, but he also is depending on a surge of new voters, including many African-Americans, to win.
To some of McCain's critics, his comments Wednesday were an attempt to stoke Republican fears of a big black turnout and an Obama victory, to justify efforts to purge voter rolls for partisan advantage and to lay the groundwork for legal challenges if Obama wins.
"It's an attempt to delegitimize the election," said Rick Hasen, a professor at law at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, who presides over electionlawblog.org.
Or as Robert Bauer, the general counsel to the Obama campaign, put it in a posting that appeared on an Internet blog Thursday, if McCain truly believes that ACORN presents a mortal threat to democracy, his judgment is open to question. And, wrote Bauer, "If he does not believe it, then he is advertising a falsehood with the intention that it undermine public confidence in our electoral process and discourage, in the worst case, participation in this year's election or acceptance of the results."
Hans von Spakovsky, a former Bush administration Justice Department official, and now a scholar at the Heritage Foundation, where he has been producing a series of legal memorandums on past instances of voter fraud, shares the concern that what is happening now might dangerously undermine public confidence in the electoral system, although he blames ACORN and thinks McCain's vehement denunciation of the organization's registrations is warranted.
--- Provisional ballots ---
If the election is at all close in key states this time, the political deadlock could be worse than in 2000, von Spakovsky said, explaining that for the first time, thanks to federal law, any voter anywhere in the country whose registration is in doubt can cast a provisional ballot whose validity would be determined after the election.
"We are going to have a problem in any state where the margin by which a candidate wins is smaller than the number of provisional ballots," he said.
"I'm praying for a landslide either way," von Spakovsky said. "I just don't think it's good for American democracy and the body politic for extensive litigation over election results. It makes people doubt and not have confidence in the outcome of elections."
According to Chandler Davidson, an expert on minority voting rights and professor emeritus at Rice University in Houston, "In a nation of 300 million and thousands of elections every year, it would just be amazing if there weren't a little fraud out here, but I'd say the old Chicago machine is now dead in terms of massive vote fraud."
--- Effect at the polls ---
Contrary to popular impression, the fraudulent registrations now at the heart of the ACORN controversy rarely if ever yield fraudulent votes, Davidson said.
Von Spakovsky disagrees. "I don't think impersonation fraud is widespread, but it does occur." Moreover, he said, ACORN's sloppy practices are overburdening local registrars at the expense of other registrants.
"There is this mantra out that Republicans want to deny access to the polls," said von Spakovsky. "I don't think that's true."
States generally require voter registration groups to hand in all signed applications, even ones it suspects of being no good, for fear that otherwise, those groups could dispose of applications in a partisan or unscrupulous manner.
ACORN's Jackson said the organization flagged dubious applications for local registrars, turning in former employees whom it suspected of fraud -- vigilance, he said, for which it is now being pilloried.
"It's a very serious smear of that organization; there is certainly a racial tinge to all of this," said Lorraine Minnite, a Barnard College political scientist and co-author of the forthcoming book "Keeping Down the Black Vote: Race and the Demobilization of American Voters."
McCain's attack on ACORN, she said, is a "tragedy" and a diversion.

Just when I said that a sex tape wouldn't exonerate alleged craigslist rapist lawyer Robert Michael Hoffman it kind of does.
After a review of said tapes two of the three victims were deemed unreliable and charges for those two alleged rapes were dropped. However one of the rape charges is still going forward. Hoffman's bond was reduced from $3M to $450K.
I still think that his career as a sexual harassment attorney has to be over at this point.

Junior goalie, 6-0, 220 pounds
JUST THE STATS: He made a combined 24 saves in his last four games to help Freehold Township outscore those opponents, 50-15, and improve to 11-0. He has 90 saves this season, including 17 April 6 in a 12-4 victory over Colts Neck and 16 April 15 to help facilitate the team's first-ever victory over Christian Brothers, 9-8. Luongo says his success is determined by the sturdy play of defensive teammates Cal Sebor, Ryan Horsch, Nick Herring, Kyle Collins, Jordan Magnifico, Christian Composto, Gene Blanco, Bryce Carroll and Andrew Berkowitz.
TOP GAME: ``That first win over CBA. That will always stick in my mind and my heart as special. CBA believes they're supposed to win every game. We said as a team that day, `This is our game. This is our year.' ''
LAX START: Sixth grade with Central Jersey Lacrosse.
POSITIONS: ``In sixth and seventh grade I was a pole. In eighth grade I moved to midfield. When I got to high school, the starting goalie had transferred and coach (Steve) Gibb asked me if I would give it a try. I figured it was my quickest way to get playing time, so I agreed.
BENEFITS OF OTHER POSITIONS: ``Playing midfield helped improve my stick skills and I know what my defenders are thinking and trying to do because I've been there. I also know what the middies are thinking when they come down and try to set up the offense.''
TOP INFLUENCE: Jim Buchanan, his first coach at CJ Lax. ``He really coached us up and made me fall in love with the game of lacrosse. He was so energetic and so good at teaching us how to understand and appreciate the game.''
OTHER SPORTS: He has been the football team's starting center since his sophomore year. He earned his first start there on Thanksgiving Day '07 against Howell.
FAVORITE SPORT: ``Definitely lacrosse. In football you have to be an adrenalin jockey; you have to hate everything and everyone to be good. Lacrosse is a very competitive sport, but it has a different feel. You can still be friends with the people you are playing against.''
COLLEGE THOUGHTS: ``I would love to play in college, probably at the D2 or D3 level. Way too early to have any ideas about schools yet.''
FAVORITE COLLEGE TEAMS: ``I've always liked rooting for Navy. That's a great school and those kids go through hell to play lacrosse. I also like Duke and Syracuse.''
FAVORITE SUBJECT: History.
ON BEING UNDEFEATED: ``To be honest, we don't even think about it. I've always been part of a winning lacrosse program, so we know winning is what we're supposed to do. When we lose, that's not expected.''
TALENTED TEAMMATES: ``We have a outstanding attack and midfield and they make us work every day in practice. I love that. I feel like I get better with every practice.''
FAVORITE SPORT ON TV: ``Probably football, but I also love watching college lacrosse.''
AREAS TO IMPROVE: ``I'm always looking to improve everything. I want to get better on stopping bounce shots, getting ride of the ball quicker, all those things.''
FAVORITE MOVIE: ``Dunston Checks In.''
FAVORITE MUSIC: Rock, like A Day to Remember, Sum 41 and Blink 182.
FAVORITE FOOD: His mom's sausage and peppers.
THREE FOR DINNER: FDR, Eli Manning and Chris Rock.

A group of downtown public safety activists wants people in the city's core to listen up: Respect others. Pick up after yourself. Don't hassle strangers.
They're asking firmly, but politely.
It's all part of what they hope will become a city-backed civility campaign to soften some of downtown's rough edges.
Crude language bandied about on MAX trains or at bus stops. Aggressive panhandlers intimidating shoppers. Pedestrians walking four abreast on the sidewalk who won't let others pass.
"It's really setting the tone on how we expect people to behave," said Suzanne Hayden, executive director of the Citizens Crime Commission.
College campuses across the county, including Oregon State University, and communities such as Howard County, Md., and Duluth, Minn., have promoted similar campaigns.
But the movement has had its critics: Do rules of civility miraculously make people nicer?
P.M. Forni, a professor at John Hopkins University, said they certainly can help.
Humans are social animals who are hard-wired to connect, "but we don't know how to do that," said Forni, who founded and now directs the university's Civility Project and has written extensively on the topic. "Somebody has to teach us."
As a medieval Italian literature scholar who for years has guided his students through Dante's Inferno, Forni said he needed to dedicate his life to a pursuit that had more relevance to everyday life.
His research found, he said: "No society can survive and thrive unless there's a critical amount of goodness present in its midst."
Members of Portland's Downtown Public Safety Action Committee are developing the local campaign and don't have trouble recounting boorish and discourteous behavior they've witnessed.
Hayden was outraged when she saw a man aggressively throw his lunch on the ground. It exploded into a mess.
Steven Trujillo, pastor of Father's House and co-chair of the committee, got fed up when he saw a drunken man urinate on a rag and then toss it at people. "That's not cool. You need to stop that," Trujillo said he told the man.
Marvin Mitchell, who runs the downtown nonprofit Julia West House, said he gets fed up hearing obscenities shouted on MAX trains. "Why should I have to be assaulted ... by this language?" Mitchell said.
The committee has drafted a mission statement:
The next step is figuring out how to market it.
The committee wants city government to promote it and already has printed up petitions to encourage people, businesses and downtown agencies to sign on in support.
The catchphrase: "Civility Improves Livability for All."
Trujillo said the campaign isn't meant to target any particular group of people
"It sets out guidelines on what we expect for our city when we see bad behavior," Trujillo said. "Rather than try to pass laws, why don't we try to change the culture? It's a social experiment."
The group plans to focus on the city's central core, but hopes the campaign, once active, catches on citywide.
During a recent trip to Chicago's Highland Park suburb, Hayden said she noticed street signs that read, "RESPONSIBILITY: Think Before You Act" and "RESPECT -- Be Tolerant of Differences."
The local committee is considering similar signs, a website, a civility contest or even an app, she said.
Portland police Central Precinct Cmdr. Bob Day backs the initiative.
Forni recommends that any campaign focus on specific interventions. In Baltimore, for example, he taught a class on civility to people moving from welfare to their first job, which he said helped the students keep their jobs because they knew how to use appropriate language and respect others.
But he cautioned, "We think we have good results, but the hard data is minimal. Nobody should expect miracles."
OSU Libraries staff began a civility campaign and a civility book club in January 2012 after Forni visited the Corvallis campus. They distributed a civility button that read: "Choose Civility--Take Responsibility." Posters now hang in the library's elevators, in residence halls, the campus shuttle and on transit buses that remind people to "Respect Differences," "Speak Kindly" and "Be Inclusive."
"The buttons have helped people start a conversation when they have seen uncivil behavior," said Kerri Goergen-Doll, interlibrary loan supervisor.
The Julia House's Mitchell said he believes civil behavior must be reinforced. During a recent MAX trip, he said a young man gave his seat to let a woman sit down.
"Thank you," Mitchell told the young man. "This is civility!"

Barnes and Bonny Slope elementaries are neck and neck when it comes to the percentage of teachers completing a statewide educators survey.
With a statewide goal of at least 50 percent of Oregon's 32,385 educators completing the survey, Barnes and Bonny Slope hit 90 percent Friday morning. Beaverton is one of two districts in the state with the most schools at 50 percent or more. The survey window opened Feb. 24 and closes on March 24.
TELL Oregon is an anonymous survey that asks teachers about conditions at their schools in an effort to improve student achievement, teacher retention and overall teaching conditions.
Survey questions focus on how teachers use their time, how satisfied they are with working conditions and on-the-job training, how they view their principals and co-workers, and how they perceive school discipline, parent support and other factors shown to contribute to student learning.
The results will be provided to the state, district and each school with plans to address problems highlighted in the survey results. A story in The Oregonian spelled out details behind the survey.
Meanwhile, Beaverton's 2,019 teachers and administrators reached a 10.7 percent response rate by Friday morning. Statewide, the responses sat at 9.4 percent.
Sunset High carried Beaverton's high schools with 19 percent. Most of the others had no responses so far.
Stoller held the lead among middle schools with 15 percent.
Each school is responsible for ensuring teachers have the codes necessary to take the survey.

A.G. Emslie (UAH)
It has been established for some time now that solar flares accelerate copious quantities of charged particles, both electrons and ions. However, the number of particles accelerated and their associated current and energy fluxes, coupled with the relatively short time needed to accomplish the acceleration, continue to offer fundamental challenges to our understanding of the underlying physics. Such challenges include: How can the energy stored in sheared magnetic fields be dissipated on timescales that are orders of magnitude shorter than the classical resistive diffusion time? How can such a large fraction of the stored magnetic energy be converted into low-entropy acceleration rather than high-entropy heating? How can the huge electric currents involved be ``turned on'' in such a short time and without generating unacceptably large magnetic fields? How are the accelerated particles recycled many times through the acceleration process?
A variety of theoretical models for particle acceleration in solar flares, ranging from large-scale weak electric fields to small-scale strong electric fields to cascading hydromagnetic turbulence, have been proposed. Each of these models has its particular answers to the above questions and each has its particular predictions regarding the spectrum, directivity, and spatial distribution of the accelerated particles. Discrimination amongst models is, therefore, possible, but only through analysis of the associated radiation fields on time and size scales of physical interest. The Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) was designed to perform just this analysis of the X-ray and gamma-ray emissions, and it has indeed started to offer new insights into particle acceleration and transport processes in solar flares.

When I adopted him, I changed his name to Cian (pronounced KEE-an). An Irish name felt appropriate for a red-haired little boy. The name means "ancient and enduring," which also seemed right for a little guy who had been through so much at such a young age.
He's grown up to be a wonderful, well-socialized playful boy. He's just about a year old now. Everyone who meets him just loves him—people on the street, the veterinary staff, doggy daycare staff, and the list goes on. He's even earned both his basic and intermediate obedience certificates in the C.L.A.S.S. program already. We're going for advanced next!
I do anti-nuke work for an environmental nonprofit and have been working in Southern California for the past year. I recently had to be out there for what (I thought) would be an extended period, so Cian and I drove out there together. Low and behold, a week after we arrived, the operator of those nukes announced permanent shutdown! All the locals thought that Cian was the best good luck charm. He has since been invited to multiple other reactor communities to shut down their nukes and has become a de facto mascot for our organizations nukes team! In any event, he's seen more of this country than most people.
P.S. Don't be put off by the picture of the demolished oversized bean bag! He was curious about that thing from the time I brought him home, and he finally had his 20 minutes alone when I had the cover off for washing to see what was in it! I did, however, send that pic to Dog Shaming, and it got over 2000 likes.

Shares in the jeweller Tiffany have been racing ahead like a fashionista at a Manolo Blahnik sample sale in the past year, with the share price more than doubling since last July.
The surge comes amid a general rise in luxury goods stocks that has outpaced the New York S&P 500 index by nearly a third over the same period. Yesterday Tiffany shares leapt another 2 per cent as the company announced a 15 per cent rise in global sales and raised its full-year profits forecast.

Though Unger is retiring, her vision for Profile will continue under incoming artistic director Adriana Baer, who will maintain the company's format of focusing each season on a particular playwright. So it's appropriate that the last hurrah of the Unger era includes not just a fine production of Wilson's gentle examination of 1960s idealism and its dissipation, but also a more direct look at the art and craft of writing plays.
On Saturday afternoon, Profile presents "Meet the Playwrights," a forum moderated by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's literary director, the astute and entertaining Lue Douthit. Playwrights Arthur Kopit (who was the focus of Profile's first season, 1997-98), Constance Congdon (1999-00) and Lee Blessing (2010-11) will participate, along with directors Marshall Mason and Daniel Irvine, who collaborated often with the late Wilson.
2-4 p.m. Saturday, Wieden+Kennedy Atrium, 224 N.W. 13th Ave.; $30, $20 students, 503-242-0080, profiletheatre.org
Yes, yes, of course. The arts are about the ennobling of the human spirit and should never be reduced to a crass competition.
But there's nothing wrong with a pat on the back for a job well done -- or, for that matter, with a glass statue for outstanding work in Portland theater. The 33rd annual Drammy Awards -- presented by a volunteer committee of the nonprofit Portland Civic Theatre Guild -- aren't to be griped about, only enjoyed.
If nothing else, the awards ceremony is a chance to dress up, hobnob with your favorites and cheer their successes. It's also tended to be an entertaining presentation in its own right, with a parade of quick-witted and charismatic folks taking the stage. Todd Van Voris will be this year's master of ceremonies.
6 p.m. Monday (starts with social hour and slideshow, with awards following at 7 p.m.), Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W. Burnside St.; free.
Portland Actors Ensemble has been performing Shakespeare in local parks since 1970, but in all these years it hasn't done "Hamlet." Considering the subject matter, there's something fitting about its first production of the classic tragedy coming to life in a place of death. Bruce Hostetler, who worked at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival several years ago as a stage manager and assistant director, will direct the production in Southeast Portland's fittingly picturesque Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery.
Opens 7 p.m. Thursday, continues 7 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays through July 14 (except June 22); Lone Fir Pioneer Cemetery, Southeast 26th Avenue and Southeast Stark Street; free.
You loved him in his marriage-proposal video! You'll love him onstage, too!
Isaac Lamb, the Portland actor who pitched the woo heard 'round the world two weeks ago, has been performing in the musical "City of Angels," a film-noir spoof at Lakewood Theatre. But you've only a few more chances to catch him in the role of a gritty gumshoe before the show closes Sunday night.

U.N. Security Council Not Expected To Approve Syria Strike
The United States is considering its military options following last week's apparent chemical weapons attack outside Damascus, Syria. Russia is opposed to such action. The Russian government says there's no evidence that the Syrian government was behind that attack. And Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has warned that if NATO attacks Syria it would be a violation of international law. To get a better understanding of the Russian view on Syria, Robert Siegel talks with Andranik Migranyan, director of the Institute for Democracy and Cooperation, a Russian-funded think tank in New York. He says Russia is opposed to regime change from the outside and that the solution must be a negotiated settlement.

To the Editor:
I am an 11½ year resident and homeowner of the village of East Syracuse. I am also the chair for the Friends of the East Syracuse Police Department, which is adamantly against abolishment and /or consolidation with the town of DeWitt police.
Below are some of the reasons:
1) The shorter the police travel-time from assignments to arrival at crime scenes, the less crime there will be.
2) Random patrols and the more perceived ''omnipresence'' of police will deter crime in the village.
3) The larger quantity and better quality of contact between the police and the village residents, the less crime.
5) Reduction in services, such as home inspections, community policing and crossing guards would result from having one officer.
6) The East Syracuse Police Department has been fiscally responsible, operating on a reduced budget over the last few years.
7) Certain politicians caused the financial crisis, not our village police department.
8) The mayor is modeling our service agreement after one in the town of Clay, where residents were told they would save as much as $17 million over 10 years, at an average savings per household of $50 a year. In fact, taxes have increased consistently since the police department was abolished, with little-to-no police presence.
9) With regards to special services, the village of East Syracuse has an evidence technician and use of the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
10) Our six full-time officers have no guarantees with the current agreement.
11) The inter-municipal shared-service agreement has too many opt-outs and loopholes, resulting in a lack of transparency, with patterns of misinformation and inconsistencies throughout the entire process.
12) Several merger efforts in Onondaga County have failed miserably, with the exception of Minoa, Fayetteville and Manlius police. Citizens supported that merger; the majority of East Syracuse residents do not support the proposed merger!
13) Numbers, budgets, costs, etc., have been routinely inconsistent, some numbers changing within a 24-hour period.
Kim O'Brien, of East Syracuse, is chair of Friends of the East Syracuse Police.

Hello Everyone,
I am at a non profit, and its hard to pitch something without having an answer to "how will this save us money".
So through my research I found out that exchange 2013 has an anti-spam feature. I wanted to see if maybe someone out there has used it or knows it well.
Is it worth letting go of my sonicwall anti spam filter?
Could it do the same job, or better?
Could it do a "good enough" job ?
Any input helps, thanks.

Sep 5, 2013 at 6:06 UTC
Here's the "How Spam Filtering" saves money:
Less time spent on fixing the computer that a user received a spam / malware laden email on, and they clicked on the links or opened the attachments that said they won 1 million dollars.
The sonic wall will do network level filtering based on heuristics and blocks it before it even reaches the Exchange server. The Exchange filtering filters AFTER the mail is received. So in theory, unless you have a few layers of Exchange servers, I would recommend sticking with the appliance (in this case your sonicwall) or another vendor like Barracuda or GFI.
Sep 5, 2013 at 8:08 UTC
I never thought Barracuda was worth the money until I used one. Its great! They take care of you when stuff breaks too.
Sep 6, 2013 at 12:45 UTC
The Exchange Server will slow up if you get too much SPAM so keeping it at the edge (or by using a Service) is a much better idea
Sep 6, 2013 at 1:40 UTC
Thanks for the input everyone.
