We have tried several hotels and home wifi and so far find the Nook Color to be a major disappointment in its inability to connect. Or to connect, then loose the connection, then connect, then loose the connection, etc., etc., etc. The only place we have been able to connect so far is in the B&N store. We have an older Linksys router and are upgrading this week to a Netgear Rangemax... now I am really worried. My question to B&N Engineers is why in the HECK did B&N not make the Nook Color 3G??? We also have a 3G Kindle... connects up perfectly EVERYWHERE we go. When we looked at the Nook Color, we felt that it not having 3G was a major design blunder ...giving that wifi can be so flaky and 3g does not seem to be flaky or hard to connect to at all...I can not imagine what the design team was thinking. :-( We bought 3 and are considering returning them all and waiting for the color 3g model.

I have to say I cannot recommend using the Netgear Rangemax. That's what I had for my wireless router and the Nookcolor wouldn't connect. Today I purchased an Apple Airport Extreme and my Nookcolor was crazy for it. I was connected to the internet in seconds. And the pages load more quickly than they did for me at a cafe I was visiting earlier.
I, too, wish my Nookcolor were 3G--even though 3G can be a bit sluggish sometimes--because I want to be able to know I can get online whenever, wherever. But right now I am just happy to have a connection with my home network.

I'm also having WiFi problems with a NOOKcolor, but I consider mine to be intermittent connectivity issues.
I've had the same set of problems at home and at a Starbucks with free, unsecured WiFi. The only place with no problems is the Barnes & Noble store.
Note that I have a Netgear router at home. I'm able to connect to my WPA2 PSK (hidden SSID) with no problems. Note that I restrict access by MAC address, but that also works fine.
I'm logged in to the router; it confirms that the device is connected. The NOOKcolor seems to think that it loses the connection frequently. I get errors when browsing the store ("we are having trouble connecting to our store") and when downloading PDFs from the internet ("waiting for data connection" becomes "download interrupted. It cannot be resumed").
My gut tells me something in the NOOKcolor's Android wireless code is buggy. I hope they fix it soon.

Won't work correctly at home with Netgear Rangemax router. I've got a laptop at home and a smart phone at home, and they work perfectly with the router, and without any router configuration modifications. Worked from day one, out of the box.
Can connect to router with Nook Color, excellent signal strength, WPA-PSK (TKIP) security. Says I'm connected to the Internet, but can't get to any web sites at all.
- Wireless network mode was auto, changed to b and g. Nada.
- Tied the Nook Color's MAC address to a specific IP. That helped the Nook stay connected but still can't get to any web sites.
- Tried specifying specific IP addresses for the DNS server instead of defaulting to the ISP's DNS server. Didn't help.
I'm out of ideas. Can anyone think of anything else?
Many thanks,
The NC doesn't like it when the WiFi Access Point doesn't broadcast its SSID.
is your WiFi setup to not broadcast SSID, and if so...what happens if you turn that feature off?
(it really doesn't provide much security not broadcasting the SSID...a MAC filter is FAR better).

I'm having similar issues with flakey wifi access on my Nook Color. My home wifi network has a Netgear WNR2000 wireless router. The Nook claims to connect, and will often work fine for a little while, but then loses connection to the internet (though it remains connected to the network). Other devices continue to work, so clearly there is access.
So far, I've tried updating the router's firmware and disabling some of the security featers but the problem remains.

Has anyone discovered how to "fix" the problem with using Netgear router with Nook Color? Got a Nook Color for Christmas and cannot connect to WiFi at home. My daughter's Nook works fine but my Nook Color does not...shows that I'm signed-in but will not connect to internet. Spent an hour on hold with B&N Nook Help Desk; finally got someone to answer but he had nonidea what the problem could be. Visited local B&N today and they have heard of the problems but do not have an answer. They loaded 1.0 onto my Nook Color and asked that I try it again once I got home - no luck. Taking back tomorrow for refund and buying Kindle unless someone has found the fix and is willing to share...
Re: Nook Color - No Internet - Netgear RangemaxBanjoBen Dec 27, 2010 4:21 PM (in response to s_eaton)I also have a netgear router and hd lots of trouble. The thing that "fixed" the problem for me was switching to wep encryption. Other encryption schemes worked initially but always gave trouble eventually.
Re: Nook Color - No Internet - Netgear RangemaxMollyO Dec 28, 2010 8:57 AM (in response to BanjoBen)
As the NOOKcolor is a non-computer and non-phone device, you may need to change some settings on your internet managed routers.
1. Make sure your DCHP SSL is ENABLED
2. Make sure your Block Anonymous Requests is DISABLED
3. Make sure your Pass Phrase Security is OPEN and not Shared
This will not effect your internet or router security settings, it just allows for your router to recognize there is an alternate device attempting to connect to it.
I hope this helps!
Re: Nook Color - No Internet - Netgear Rangemaxanieb Dec 29, 2010 7:30 AM (in response to BanjoBen)Just for the record. Am using a Netgear WNR3500L and using 'up to 300' rather than '56' and it works well. If you're using a Nook cover with a heavy clamp on the left bezel in the center, try taking the cover off, as the clamp on mine interfered with stable connections. I no longer have disconnects, with the cover off. It also prevented me from making input in some input boxes. I do use WEP encryption since I have 4 other devices set up and didn't want to change their passwords or anything else. It worked fine. I do recommend running the setup wizard at http://www.routerlogin.net for smoothest quick functioning though, if you use that router.

SOLUTION!!! For some reason the nook color will connect and acually is pretty fast if you change your router setting to up to 54 mbps. This makes no sence to me because of the (up to) it should work (up to) 300 mbps. I hope they come with an update or something for this.

We had this same problem. RangeMax router, WPA-PSK[TKIP] security, nothing would make the NC connect and stay connected.
What fixed our's was to change the security protocol to WPA2-PSK [AES].

Re: Nook Color - No Internet - Netgear Rangemaxdaniel0son Dec 27, 2010 8:24 PM (in response to Mikestl)
So let me first say that Barnes and Noble should fire their computer programmers for the awful coding in this software. My wife has pretty much given up on the NC because it won't work with our Netgear Router. What IT specialist wouldn't do a test run with one of the most popular wireless routers sold in most big box stores and used by a large percentage of the population?
With that said, I also changed my router settings from the WPA-PSK[TKIP] setting to WPA2-PSK [AES] like skwarren14 did. I can now browse the internet and use the NC as intended.
However, I now need to check my other wireless devices to make sure they will work properly with the new router settings. Most consumers wouldn't go to these lengths to make something work.
Barnes and Noble better come up with something better than their "minor" 160MB firmware patch or they will have a ton of returned NC from Christmas consumers...

I have WPA2-PSK [AES] and connection is dropped constantly or says connected no internet. I may try WEP and see if that fixes it but then have to switch all of my other devices.

I finally fixed mine. I am on Netgear Rangemax N & G router. I had to go into the router and go to Advanced - Wireless Settings. I then selected Setup Access List for WIreless Card Access List and added the mac address for the nook. I am now connected. The only problem was I had to register the nook first on my neighbor's wireless router before I could continue the registration.
Re: Nook Color - No Internet - Netgear Rangemaxmbratch Jan 6, 2011 2:25 AM (in response to keriliny)
@keriliny, sounds like your router has MAC filtering enabled (or equivalently, it's configured to only accept connections from specific MAC addresses).

I was also frustrated because I was unable to connect my B&N NOOKcolor to my wireless router (Netgear RangeMax), though my other wireless devices connect just fine. I spoke with B&N Support; they were very nice but were unable to help. Fortunately, I read the postings here and changed my router settings from WPA-PSK[TKIP] to WPA2-PSK [AES]. My Nookcolor now connects to the internet and I can use it to buy and download books. A huge relief, as I really like this eReader!

The WiFi connectivity in the NC is not from B&N, but from Android. This is known to have some problems. Remember that most Android devices are cell phones that all have 3G, so the WiFi connectivity is secondary. I suspect this will get better over time.
However, lots of routers also have "interesting" implementations too. It is not in the least remarkable that even though a particular router can connect perfectly with devices x, y, z , and w, it doesn't even see devices j, k, and l, and is unreliable or requires special settings with b, c, and d.
Unfortunately that is just the "state of the art" with WiFi circa 2011. If you have NO WiFi problems, consider yourself lucky.

Went crazy thinking this was something wrong on my end.
Even paid for a technician to come into my home.
Pretty bad.
Looking for the answer to this.
Re: Nook Color - No Internet - Netgear Rangemaxroustabout May 30, 2011 1:32 PM (in response to snoblesMN)
Some routers are flat known not to work with the NC.
If you go to page 1 of the WEP thread, you'll see how strangely the earlier software worked with WEP. Tech support was stumped, fixes that worked for some users failed for other users, the whole thing was super inconsistent.
Consensus is that release 1.1 of the BN software is more reliable at connecting to access points than the newest 1.2 release at this point (May 2011.)
If you've tried everything else, you can reinitialize your NC, install 1.1, and lock it from further updates by rooting it.
Before you go there, be sure you have to.
Let's start with known incompatible or borderline compatible access points for software 1.2.
If you have one of these, roll back and root. That is the only fix for least three consumer routers: DLink DL-624, Westell 327W and Belkin F5D8231-4. There is an unreleased fix for the Belkin, no info on the Dlink or Westell.
Each of these three worked fine with Nook software release 1.1. Go install it.
If you have a different router, it's worth trying to fix the problem.
First, try the obvious: hold the power button on your NC in > 15 seconds. Ignore the "do you want to shut down?" dialog. Your NC will power down. Power back on. This process resets some components, and some folks find it helpful. I include it here, but I realize you probably already tried it. More than once.
Another obvious one: are you sure you're entering and sending the wireless password correctly?
Test the password by making a new connection to the AP from a computer or other device in the house. Then, forget your connection on the Nook Color and set it up fresh. Untick the "hide my password" button in the password settings, so you can see what you are typing. Check that your Nook Color and your router agree on both the password and encryption setting (WPA, WEP, WPA2, etc.) you are using.
Now to some of the less-obvious:
1) Take a look in Settings.... Wireless... If your nook color remembers more than 10 wireless networks (these are not just the networks displayed, but those with stored passwords - they are displayed as "remembered") go in and forget a few of the ones you use least often.
The nook color can only store 10 networks' login data, or so I have read. So select and forget a few of the ones that say "remembered" but are out of range. Now try connecting to your AP again.
2) find out what router or access point model you have, and what software it is running. If an update is available from the manufacture, install it and see if your NC can connect after you reboot both devices.
3) Once your router is up-to-date, try this, making each of these changes together:
- tell your router to run in G only or G/N if you'd immediately kill services you need by disabling N.
- Disable MAC filtering
- Disable WEP and WPA
- Put speed in "auto" and channel in "auto" rather than manually setting either
- Broadcast your SSID
- Try setting your lease time to a very long interval - 1 week if possible
If you make those changes you may well be able to connect. Then you can start walking the changes back one at a time.
On the N band setting, you may not be able to "lock" the router at its highest speed or anything close to it under 1.2. You may not be able to use N at all (some Cisco access points in N just don't work with NCs running N, but do work with NCs running G.)
Most folks are ultimately able to hide SSID, use WPA-2 and MAC filtering all without problems.
There is some very interesting juju happening with WEP. Some WEP connections won't work; if your router only supports WEP, be aware that at one time BN was advising customers that WEP was not supported. To connect to Nook Colors, some WEP-only routers need to be in "open" WEP key mode, some need to be in "shared" WEP key mode, and the Nook Color cannot connect to some.
If your router only supports WEP, as a network guy, I would recommend you replace it and get a router with WPA-2.
Frankly, you might as well run your router without a password until your replacement arrives. Use a different method to secure it (MAC address filtering, all by itself, is far more effective than WEP, and simply not broadcasting your SSID is probably as effective as WEP.)
If you still can't connect, you can look into doing a full clean install of 1.2 (if you really like it), and if that fails, install 1.1 and then root.
Some people are able to get connectivity after a full format and reinstall of 1.2 Some are not.
If you are unable to connect your 1.2 to your access point after
- updating your AP software
- doing a clean install of 1.2
- turning off the bells and whistles on your router,
please let BN know that you followed this guide and could not establish a connection. Please also give them the model # of your router or access point.
BN doesn't have a copy of every AP in the universe and right now I think it makes sense to help them identify problem models. APs are commodity hardware. Most run one of a relatively few Linux kernels and a relatively few wireless and ethernet chipsets. The more problem routers BN knows to test, the sooner they'll find a pattern.

Gov. Scott Walker says he'll remain governor of Wisconsin "as long as people want me to be governor."
Walker commented again Wednesday on his presidential aspirations after an introduction he received at a Wisconsin Restaurant Association event.
Peter Hanson, a vice president of the restaurant group, said Walker needed no introduction. Then he added, "Pretty soon he'll need no introduction in Iowa and New Hampshire or North Carolina, I don't imagine."
Walker said he didn't write the introduction.
Instead, Walker said, "I love being governor, I'm focused on being governor. I'll be governor as long as people want me to be governor here."
Walker is frequently mentioned as a 2016 presidential candidate in part because of his extensive traveling across the country. He's also writing his memoirs.

Tax plan would target Vt. smokers
MONTPELIER — Public health advocates say they've discovered a cure-all for lawmakers' revenue problems.
Increasing the excise tax on cigarettes by $1.25 per pack, a coalition of organizations said Wednesday, will not only close the budget gap and save $116 million in avoided health care costs, but also will win legislators points with voters back home.
The groups pointed to a poll released Wednesday that indicates 74 percent of registered voters favor the tax increase, which would raise an estimated $16 million next year. Most crucially, according to members of the coalition, the tax hike would compel more than 3,000 adult smokers to kick the habit, and prevent another 3,000 children from ever picking it up.
"It's not just a win-win in that you save lives and raise money," said Kevin O'Flaherty, the Northeast's regional advocacy director of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "But it's win-win-win in that you can do both of those things with significant voter support."
The hard sell from anti-tobacco advocates, who convened a Statehouse news conference Wednesday, comes as the Senate Committee on Finance makes revisions to a House tax bill that already includes a 50-cent per-pack increase in the cigarette tax.
While that's a "great start," said Rebecca Ryan, director of health education and public policy at the American Lung Association, "it's not enough to impact public health."
Ryan said lawmakers will need to raise the retail price of cigarettes by at least 10 percent to have a measurable impact on smoking rates in Vermont. With prices at about $8 per pack, she said, the coalition wouldn't support an increase of anything less than 80 cents. But she said that the higher the tax increase, the more smokers will call it quits.
"Significant cigarette tax increases are the single most effective way to reduce smoking across the entire population, but especially among youth," O'Flaherty said.
The proposal faces stiff opposition from retailers, especially those competing for business along Vermont's border with New Hampshire, where cigarette taxes are already about a dollar lower than they are in Vermont.
At $2.62 per pack in state excise taxes, Vermont assesses the eighth-highest cigarette surcharge in the country.
"The reality is that increased taxes in a state like Vermont, which is very small, will just drives sales to surrounding states or on the Internet," said Jim Harrison, head of the Vermont Grocers Association.
Val Louras, owner of Sam Frank, a tobacco distributor in Rutland, said that while Vermont may rank high in cigarette taxes nationally, it's become a haven for smokers in New York and Massachusetts, which have the first- and second-highest per-pack rates in the nation, respectively.
Louras said many of the retailers she supplies enjoy a cross-border revenue surge as a result.
"And if you went up by a dollar, you'd pretty much get rid of any of the incentive that's bringing that business into this state," Louras said.
Anti-tobacco advocates dismiss the tax-flight theory as a canard. They point to a study by the Institute for Health Research and Policy at the University of Illinois at Chicago, which tracked smoking rates in Vermont alongside increases in excise taxes on tobacco.
Between 1995 and 2010, the study found, state excise taxes ramped up from 20 cents per pack to $2.62 per pack. Over the same time period, according to the analysis, smoking rates among adults went from 22.1 percent to 15.4 percent.
The more than 30 percent reduction is proof, advocates of the tax say, that smokers aren't dodging the higher prices by driving east, but cutting out their intake altogether.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said the proposal amounts to a sales tax increase, and would therefore violate Gov. Peter Shumlin's pledge not to raise broad-based taxes.
The Senate Committee on Health and Welfare formally endorsed a $1 per-pack increase in the cigarette tax Tuesday, and urged its budget committee down the hall to use $1 million of the revenue it would raise to subsidize health insurance costs for lower-income Vermonters.
Sen. Tim Ashe, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, said his committee hasn't made any decisions yet on any aspects of the tax bill. But if the Senate does opt for the heightened cigarette tax, Ashe said, it will be for public health reasons — not to raise revenues.
"I don't think we should look at the current financial problem the state ... faces and say, 'let's have cigarette smokers fix it.' That's just not an appropriate way to use tax policy," Ashe said. "I can't imagine doing it unless the Senate believed it was a priority to reduce smoking rates."

So we expected to see some beautiful outfits and pick up on a few celebrity trends too. But we were disappointed and how! We found a whole bunch of ugly outfits and style faux pas and couldn't resist bringing you the pictures. Take a look. We felt extreme pity on seeing Anushka Sharma at the party. Her legs looked pencil thin in those pants and her make up made her eye look sunken. Poor thing! A gown usually sets its wearer apart from the crowd and this one sure did, but for all the wrong reasons. Aditi Rao Hydari looked terrible in this pink creation. What do you think? We gotta say that we like Sridevi's effort with the high-waist pants and deep red blouse, but it didn't quite work for her. Huma Qureshi has put on oodles of weight and the black dress did nothing to hide it. What's more, the dress made her look at least 10 years older. If Shruti Haasan was dressing for a Halloween party, it wouldn't have been so bad. Looking at her unflattering black dress, equally ugly sandals, dishevelled hair and garish purple lipstick, all we can say is, 'What was she thinking?' Sonali Bendre looks lovely in Indian wear, just not at the Filmfare nominations party. The stark white and pink lehenga with her silver clutch were a bummer. We don't expect too much from Hard Kaur when it comes to dressing, but this shiny suit took atrocious to a whole new level. Sonu Nigam did it again. While his suit was okay, the bad hair and hideous shoes were an obvious disaster. And no, they don't bring out your creative side, Sonu! While we genuinely liked the bold pink of Reena Wadhwa's sari, the horrendous blouse with its thick cuffs just killed it. You don't have to be a genius to know that a tacky black lace dress, bronze platform sandals, an onion pink clutch and dark blue nail paint make for a fashion disaster. But clearly Anjana Sukhani didn't have a clue. It's not TV host Manish Paul that we're bothered about. It's his partner for the night that got our attention. Those black stocking teamed with the gold dress looked nothing short of tacky. We usually love sequined outfits, just not on Ankita Shorey. Boy does she know how to mess with a good thing. Anu Kapoor's white shirt over a white t-shirt and black velvet pants and loud sneakers just leave us speechless. Tanishaa looked so very plain in this pale pink dress with pink peep toes. Sophie Chowdhry wore a silver dress with silver sandals and a silver clutch.

A benefit will be held on November 2 to help Onalaska K-9 Police Officer Dan McCluskey and his family after a fire destroyed their house on July 29.
The fire happened on the last day of Officer McCluskey's wife's chemotherapy treatment. Megan was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in April.
Onalaska police say when Megan was diagnosed with breast cancer and began treatment she was no longer eligible to be a kidney donor for their 14-year-old son, Aidan. He had been awaiting a transplant since he was a small child. The plan was to wait until Aidan was in his mid-teens and have his mother be the donor.
"Dan, Meg and Aidan are family to us," Onalaska Police Officer Lisa Gerbig said. "I was at the fire and saw the devastation first-hand. The people in our department immediately wanted to do something to help. That's when the McCluskey Fund was established."
Financial donations can be mailed to The McCluskey Fund C/O of the Bank of Galesville, PO Box 94, Trempealeau, WI 54661.
"We wanted to do more because the McCluskeys are a family who have contributed greatly to their community and to Onalaska," Officer Gerbig said. "So when we were approached about doing a benefit we immediately said yes."
On November 2, there will be a benefit for the McCluskey family at the Holmen Legion from 3-10 p.m. There will be silent auctions, a pie auction, live auctions, food and numerous raffles.
"This is an intensely private family," Onalaska Police Chief Jeffrey Trotnic said. "If it had just been the fire and Megan's cancer I know Officer McCluskey would never have agreed to allow a benefit be held in his name but all three at once? There is a saying that we should all pay it forward. With the McCluskeys, it's not a matter of paying it forward; it's a matter of paying it back and as typical of this community, I am seeing people come together to rally support for Dan and Meg."
If you're interested in donating items for the silent auction, contact Carrie Pohjola at (608) 865-0454 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. A Facebook page has also been created for the benefit: https://www.facebook.com/McCluskeyBenefit

Day three of the Christopher Deedy murder trial revealed the minutes just before and after the killing.
Video was shown of the special agent's actions on the morning of Nov. 5, 2011 along with nearly all of Kollin Eldert's final moments.
Not only was the deadly incident caught on camera, so were the actions leading up to the fatal encounter.
Surveillance video from inside the Waikiki McDonald's was shown in court.
The video had no sound and only snapped a picture every few seconds, so attorneys for both sides tried to fill in the blanks for the jury with witness testimony.
According to the timestamp on the video, Deedy and his friends, including Adam Bukowski, were at the McDonald's first around 2:30 in the morning. Twelve minutes later, Elderts and Shane Medeiros walked up to the counter. Not long after that, Deedy approached Elderts' table and a fight soon broke out.
The day's main witness, lead detective Peter Boyle, pieced together what happened that morning in the frames jurors couldn't see.
The first of three gunshots was fired at 2:42. It sailed over the heads of those inside the restaurant and lodged in the wall across the entrance.
While images seemed clear for Boyle under prosecutor's questions, the detective seemed to have more trouble seeing things clearly for Deedy's defense lawyers.
"I saw Elderts approaching the defendant, but if you're asking if I remember a punch, I would have to review the frame of video," said Boyle.
The video will likely be reviewed throughout the trial as it is a key piece of evidence. It showed what happened before, during and after the deadly confrontation.
The man supposedly harassed by Elderts and Medeiros at the McDonald's that November night is expected to take the stand on Thursday.

Bill Shore's four unconventional lessons for making real impact
Bill Shore (PopTech 2012) is a legend among professionals striving to make positive social change. In 1984, Shore was shocked by the famine in Ethiopia and used a $2,000 credit card advance to help found the anti-hunger organization, Share Our Strength. Since then, Share Our Strength has raised and spent $360 million to help end childhood hunger.
At PopTech 2012, Shore discussed the "strategic necessity and the moral imperative of breaking the rules." Success in social innovation can save lives, Shore says, and organizations involved in these kinds of efforts can and should employ unconventional strategies to maximize their impact.
Shore's talk is now available online:
Shore shared four tenets of this approach:
Lesson #1: Earn money. Rather than rely only on traditional non-profit fund-raising methods, Share Our Strength puts much of its focus on building multi-faceted partnerships with corporations and corporate foundations, while also offering innovative ways of engagement through well-known culinary events and grassroots platforms. Shore says that the term nonprofit should be "a tax status and not a management philosophy."
Lesson #2: Measure impact. Set specific, measurable goals. Work toward ending childhood hunger, for example, rather than just feeding the hungry.
Lesson #3: Engage on public policy. Working effectively in this space means not just serving those in need, but also actively working to change and improve public policies in pursuit of that goal. "Public policy is a critical component," Shore says. What policies might help end childhood hunger?
Lesson #4: Be competitive. Shore advocates a philosophy of improving performance on all fronts, like hiring and retaining the very best personnel.
Shore is passionate about these ideas for good reason. Poverty is at record levels. There are 46 million Americans on food stamps and half are children. More than 22 percent of U.S. children live below the poverty line. For Shore, it is easy to understand why maximizing impact is a moral necessity.

Wake Is An All-Star . . . By George
While reading about Tim Wakefield's well-deserved selection to the All-Star Team in The Boston Globe today, I was happy to see how much credit was being given to his personal catcher George Kottaras.
(photo courtesy of Kelly O'Connor)
"George has done a tremendous job all year long so far," Wakefield told reporters, "and I look forward to him continuing to do the kind of work he's done the whole first half. He's really filled some very big shoes that have been here in the past and I'm very happy and proud of him."
"That's a pretty big compliment to George," said manager Terry Francona. "Takes Wake right out of the chute and it's the first time Wake ever makes the All-Star team. I think George should be proud of himself."
The Canadian-born catcher was with the PawSox in 2007 and 2008 and was out of minor league options this year when he won the job of catching Wakefield in spring training.
Having the opportunity to catch Charlie Zink the last couple of years undoubtedly helped Kottaras, but his ability to handle Wakefield's knuckler has been remarkable – especially considering that George did not play baseball until he was 15 years old.
My favorite George Kottaras story involves a photograph. George was a member of the Greek Olympic baseball team in 2004 and met boxer Evander Holyfield at a party in Athens. After striking up a conversation with the former champ, George asked Holyfield if he would pose for a picture with him. Just before the photographer snapped the photo, George grabbed Holyfield by the head and pretended to bite his ear.
He says Evander got a big kick out of it.
I wish I had that photo to post on the blog.
1 Comment
I agree, I am so happy Wake got on the team, but you should always give credit to the catcher, especially for a knuckleballer. Kottaras also sounds like a terrific guy.
Thanks for sharing that great and very funny story! Hopefully we can start seeing some more of Kottaras' light hearted side at Fenway in the future.
Check out my blog if you have the time and good luck with your blog, I will keep reading it!

Next week sees the Zend/PHP Conference and Expo in San Francisco. It promises to be a great experience, with a goodly number of big industry keynote speakers, lots of hands-on tutorials, and three parallel session streams.
I'm presenting an introduction to Service Data Objects (SDO) on the first day which should give people the basic 101-level understanding of SDO and how to use it with XML and databases. I've included a few scenarios to hopefully keep it *real*. I'm really pleased to have been scheduled first on the parallel sessions, so I can then relax and enjoy the rest of the conference :-) .
I'm really looking forward to finally getting to meet members of the PHP community who've helped us in the creation of the SDO project. The support and guidance we've received throughout has been fantastic.

A New Pirate Generation
As the snow continues to pile up…
and life is slowly chuggin along. While some are without power and water for days, I feel lucky to be safe in a working apartment with a roof over my head. As West Virginia University has canceled classes in three of the last school days, we students have been overjoyed. Although the Mountaineers lost Big Monday's basketball showdown against Villanova 82-77, I still have hope. There are seven games left in the season. Friday begins the remaining quest for the Big East Title. A rematch with Pittsburgh will be entertaining and fun to watch. I am on pins and needles for another round of the Backyard Brawl.
But something of equal importance is coming in hot.
It seems like nearly every baseball fan is going nuts with anticipation for the unofficial, well I guess it could be considered the official, start of spring training. From fellow bloggers, to Twitter-ers, the internet is really pumped for February 18th. The Pirates, along with every other official website has been counting down the days, hours and even minutes until pitchers and catchers will show up at their respective spring training locations.
I menioned this song a few entries back when naming "The Grammys of Baseball" It was at one time the official theme song of the Pirates, played as the team ran out or after every win. It hasn't been played at PNC Park for a few years, but the tune is still heard during every radio broadcast. I have it on my iPod and many CDs. Listening to it everyday has really got me in the baseball spirit, much like Christmas music gets me in the Christmas spirit.
It is on youtube and I hope you all can appreciate this song like I do. Not only is it true, it is a great anthem for the state of the Pirates. A storied past with a bright future. This year will defintiely be a new Pirate generation. A generation filled with question marks and what ifs.
No matter the score, no matter the record-with every slide there will be Pittsburgh pride.
(the line is not only up near the blog title, it is in the song too!)

Glad you're safe and warm in all this crazy weather! Having power is no small thing. And yes, spring is around the corner. It just doesn't feel that way right now.
Snow is awesome, and yeah the countdown for Spring training begins. What a day.
Do not dispair on the College BB front. It is at this time of the year that teams' need to get the attention and go on winning streaks or upsets to make the NCAA Tourney hungry for your squad.
Considering the Big East is saturated with talent this season, even the fourth or fifth place team in the Big East might have a legitimate shot at the 64 slots.
As for the weather…..Dude, you are on your own there.
I moved back from near the Mason-Dixon line for that same white reason that is raining problems all over the NE and Northern tier of the country.
I wish everyone safety and a great time relaxing and keeping warm, but I am not going to volunteer to shovel any of it……..Nope, sorry!
Rays Renegade
ahh i've been meaning to ask you how's the weather?! We got mudslides y'all got blizzards! Baseball is surely missed!!
stay warm!!!
counting down the days till spring training!! w00t w00t
Like Mimi said, we've gotten mudslides with the rains here in California. The snow looks so pretty. I really should go to Big Bear and see the snow there. Never been there even though is only about two hours drive.
Try to keep warm!
Matt, watching the slide show I was reminded of how truly picturesque PNC park is. I've been there once (for two games) and for the first one we sat directly behind home plate a few rows from the top. It was a sunny day and the view of the field with the bridge and downtown beyond was one of the best I have seen at any ballpark so far (21 and counting).
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Hey Matt,
Just wanted to say thanks for the shoutout. Your very welcome. It's nice to find passionate pirates fans. I loved the video. It's getting me so excited for spring training & the new season. Now, if the snow would just melt…
You're right. I can't wait for Spring Training!! Thankfully, I've got the FanFest to look forward to tomorrow, but then we'll just have a little more time until pitchers and catchers report. It's going to be a great season!
Glad you are enjoying the winter weather. It will be close to 80 degrees here in the Los Angeles area this weekend. How weird is that? It kind of beckons the spring, though.
Another Mountaineer fan too. I hated last night's game against the Panthers. I do like the Pirate Generation song. Pretty cool.
Just joined mlblogs and have my own. Come and give it a read. http://onemanrevival.mlblogs.com

This speech by Pauline Hanson, Independent member for Oxley Queensland, caused a political, media and public sensation. Pauline Hanson later became leader of the One Nation Party, 1997-2004.
The speech engendered both support and outrage for her statements about migrants, multiculturalism, Aboriginal Australians and national identity. It raised questions about notions of political correctness, what it means to be Australian and wedge politics.
Download the Pauline Hanson's maiden speech to Federal Parliament video
Watch this video with a transcript.
What did you think of Pauline Hanson's speech? How did it make you feel as a Indigenous Australian or a recent migrant? Do you agree with some of her thoughts?
It is a pity that more of Pauline Hanson's views have not been incorporated into mainstream Australian politics. -- Maurie Pegrum, 2006
Pauline Hanson's speech makes me feel so ashamed and disgusted at how ignorant and unintelligent she, and other Australian's who support her, are. There is blatant hypocrisy in her statement 'I should be allowed to choose who comes into my country'... did the Aboriginal Australians she so vehemently berates have this choice?!! -- Jess Pike, 2010

Greenwood thrilled to board 'Flight' with Washington
Acclaimed actor survived real-life plane crash years ago
Actor Bruce Greenwood, who soared in the pivotal role of Captain Christopher Pike in 2009's "Star Trek," is grounded in "Flight" -- but that doesn't mean he can't have a commanding presence in the film.
Opening in theaters Friday, "Flight" stars Denzel Washington as Whip Whitaker, a seasoned pilot who spectacularly lands a jetliner after it suffers mechanical failure en route from Atlanta to Orlando. Greenwood stars as Charlie Anderson, a pilot's union representative and former Navy pilot and colleague of Whip's who on behalf of the union brings in a powerful attorney Hugh Lang (Don Cheadle) to try to clear Whip of criminal negligence.
The sobering reality is, Whip has a serious substance abuse problem and was drinking and using drugs before the flight, and Charlie knows no matter how miraculous the landing was, six of the "102 souls" on board did not make it -- meaning that Whip will ultimately be the one that has to take responsibility.
In a recent interview, Greenwood told me that he absolutely had to be a part director Robert Zemeckis' new dramatic thriller after reading John Gatins' screenplay, even if it required him to put in a lot of flying back and forth to do it.
"I read the script and I thought, 'How the hell can I get myself into this?' So we sent up a couple flares and I got a chance to show Bob what I thought the character was all about and fortunately, he felt it was going to work," Greenwood recalled. "But I was also working on a television show called 'The River' at the time, so I was commuting from Oahu to Atlanta. It was nice to be working on both coasts at the same time."
Still, Greenwood insists, the sacrifice was worth the extra flight time.
"The script is so strong. It asks way more questions than it answers," Greenwood said. "It has these tremendous ethical dilemmas for every character, and there are a handful of characters that you're invited as an audience member to enlist with earlier on in the movie, only to be asking yourself later, 'Do I dare to continue to like this character?' and 'What would I have done in the same circumstances?'"
For Charlie, the dilemma could be life-altering. Charlie knows everything for the airline is at stake because of Whip's recklessness -- no matter how incredible the maneuver was to save as many lives as he did -- and he's forced to lie because of it.
"If Charlie allows his friend to tell his truth, it means the airline goes down and 1,500 pilots, 3,000 flight attendants and thousands of mechanics and other employees are out of work," Greenwood said. "There are 10,000 people depending on Charlie helping his friend lie. What do you do? Do you sacrifice 10,000 people and their livelihoods to do the right thing by a friend, or do what's right?"
Because of Whip's heroic actions in the film, Greenwood thinks the dilemma won't be an easy one for audiences to contemplate, either.
"You find yourself in the position every now and then where you say to yourself, 'I know what the right thing is to do' if I think about it for an instant, but if I think about it for five minutes it's not so clear what the right thing to do is," Greenwood observed.
Of course, it was clearly no dilemma for Greenwood when it came to signing on the dotted line to play Charlie. On top of the fact that he was working with Zemeckis -- who's demonstrated over and over again that he's clearly as much a master at drawing out raw, human emotion as he is creating stunning visuals -- he had an stellar cast to work with, to boot.
"Emotionally, the journey of the movie is compelling," Greenwood said. "Then you pair Zemeckis with Denzel, Cheadle, (and co-stars) John Goodman and Kelly Reilly, and you know it's going to be tumultuous and active."
Greenwood, who shares almost all of his scenes with Washington, said he was electrified being on the set with the veteran Oscar-winner.
"It's so much fun playing with a guy that has a bunch of pitches," Greenwood enthused. "He's totally present and totally involved. All you have to do is listen with him because he's a great listener. Whatever the vibe is, he picks up on it. It feels alive right away."
Of course, the launching pad for the actors in "Flight" is the film's riveting crash scene, which takes off minutes after the film begins.
"If you're not a big fan of flying -- or even if you are -- you're going to spend the first 15 minutes of the film cringing," Greenwood said.
And while Greenwood isn't a part of the scene, he doesn't need to be involved in the footage to know what it's like to be party to a catastrophe.
"Many years ago, and I hadn't told this story until a week ago, I was in a plane crash," Greenwood, 56, recalled. "It was a small plane that crashed and sank, but we all swam away and survived. It was quite dramatic and the crash itself was dramatic. It took me a little while to get comfy with flying again, but I now look out the window of a plane -- because I fly all the time -- and I see the wings flexing and I tell myself, 'No, they're meant to be bending like that. If they weren't bending in half, they'd be breaking.'"
That's not to say Greenwood doesn't have his moments.
"The only time I get a little weirded out is when I go to the back to use the restroom or something and I see the fuselage flex," Greenwood added. "That doesn't do my stomach any good."
Look for Greenwood to be all calm, cool and collected again when he takes flight with the crew of the Starship Enterprise and director J.J. Abrams again with "Star Trek: Into the Darkness," which has been pegged for a May 17 release.
"The new movie, I gather, is already cut together and by all accounts is working pretty well," Greenwood said. "I don't know when I'll get a chance to see it, but I'm really looking forward to it."

4 nations, 4 styles, 4 musicians. I would love a concert.
I have set up a band. With the casting guys of course, because I can't play a thing, not even the door bell.
During my tours through the website (but how many are you guys?) I often find the most interesting photos are those that show people expressing themselves through their passion or preferred activity.
Such as dancing, jumping a ditch (how many of you are jumping?) or performing with an instrument. Well, I have combined four elements for a very international band.
Kandis from the United States on drums, playing the snare drum, wearing an enviable Chanel style outfit.
23-year-old girl from United States
Near Kandis, Oleg from Russia on the sax, who, if need be, can play the tambourine too and wears a beanie pulled well down on his head.
27-year-old guy from Russian Federation
In perfect harmony with Kevin from Belgium, a sufficiently gloomy guitarist, who also goes for the grunge beanie look, but is endowed with a body sculpted by his time on the skateboard, to be used on stage for breathtaking solos.
21-year-old guy from Belgium
On vocals (perhaps with a different dress from the satin one that looks like a wedding favour, that Kevin might well not like) is Bambi from Latvia.

Your Turn: Your Feedback On Common Core, Jail, Vet & More
Primary school-aged children across the north country were subject to Common Core testing last week, but not all of them took the test because their parents decided to opt them out:
Opting out is not a bad thing to instill in a child as long as they understand that it is only right when something is grossly wrong.
It's a ridiculous law, especially when Cuomo is pushing for towns and counties to share services in order to save money.
So very sad. Hope he will come out of it ok.
With how poorly some of our veterans are getting treated in this country, this kind act fills me with a lot of hope.

Published On: Dec 05 2012 02:27:58 PM CST Updated On: Dec 05 2012 02:27:48 PM CST
An inmate who was convicted of attempted murder has been listed as escaped from a state work release center in Des Moines.
A news release from the Iowa Corrections Department says 33-year-old Corey Dewitt was listed because of an unexcused absence from the Fort Des Moines facility on Tuesday. Dewitt was transferred to the center on Nov. 6.
The department says that in June 1997, Dewitt was sentenced to 40 years in prison. He was convicted in Polk County of attempted murder, terrorism and going armed with intent.

Action and sci-fi films are filled with cool-looking jobs that we would die to have. Who among us wouldn't push down a small child for a chance to be a Jedi or a James Bond-esque secret agent? But they require a lifetime of grueling training, beyond even what we see in the montages. Hell, even Harry Potter had to spend six years in wizard school.
Fortunately, if you lack the drive and dedication for that kind of career, there are other equally awesome fictional jobs that apparently just take a few days to learn.
5MIB Agent in Men in Black
The Men in Black are the best-kept secret on the planet. They're here to monitor alien life on Earth, make awesome quips and shoot elaborate weapons at ridiculously designed monsters. Best of all, if they ever slip up, they get to erase the memory of anyone who might have noticed.
"You wouldn't believe how often this gets us laid."
So in the film, NYPD officer James Edwards (Will Smith) is recruited to be one of the MIB after he impressively chases an alien on foot for a couple blocks. He is recruited into a class along with other candidates from the Marines, the Navy Seals and the Air Force, all chosen because they are "the best of the best." And Will Smith gets a shot because he can run fast for short distances.
"He passes the 'have a beer' test. Let's promote him to the World-Saving Department."
But, in a "it's so crazy it just might work" moment, Edwards does get the job and becomes Agent J. Well, all right, the MIB are clearly an "outside-the-box thinking" type of organization, so maybe they spotted some innate talent in him that could be cultivated with the right training. So, he gets the job.
"I like the way you shoot children."
So What's the Problem?
From that point on in the movie, they don't teach him jack shit.
Sure, they tell him aliens exist and give him the background on the MIB in the form of a quick tour, but from the moment that J puts on the suit, K (Tommy Lee Jones) throws him into the job headfirst and just expects him to catch up or ... uh, die, we guess?
"You know what totally wouldn't result in dozens of civilian casualties? Giving an inexperienced rookie a powerful and wildly inaccurate weapon and then not telling him."
Agent J is left to figure out how to use an impractically reckless gun and how to fight a giant cockroach unarmed (and other tasks that turn out to be equally dangerous, like delivering a predatory alien baby). Any one of those tasks alone would be difficult for an expert, and J has to stumble through it without so much as a company handbook.
"You're making coffee next."
Keep in mind, it's not like the Men in Black are some ragtag crew who are trying to figure it out as they go along. It's an enormously wealthy organization with lavish facilities and lots of staff. It has been around for decades. It's the "only line of defense against the worst scum of the universe."
And yet, there he stands.
We guess you could say that the reason Smith was partnered with Tommy Lee Jones' character is that this is how they do on-the-job training at MIB, but at the end of the movie, J gets to assume that role as the lead partner doing the training. He even gets to pick his own trainee partner, and naturally, he picks the cute lady from the morgue. What about that whole "best of the best of the best" thing? We didn't see any deleted scenes of her chasing down an alien on foot. Where did all the standards of hiring go in the course of the film?
"No, there's no manual for that thing. Just point and hope."
That can't possibly be an effective staffing model.
4Astronaut in Armageddon
There is an asteroid the size of Texas headed straight toward Earth that threatens to wipe out every living thing. NASA has a plan, though: Their team of astronauts will land on the asteroid, drill a hole in the middle and blow it up with a nuclear bomb. NASA knows space, but they don't know drilling, so they seek the advice of the best driller on Earth, Bruce Willis. And that's where things fall apart.
And this is where the movie itself falls apart.
Bruce Willis takes one look at the team of astronauts who have been training on the drilling equipment for five months and decides they're all terrible. He insists that his own team of drillers be allowed to do the job instead and NASA, that pragmatic, rational institution of geniuses, agrees. Now it's time for a crash course in astronaut training for these roughnecks, as the asteroid is just days away.
NASA: We'll pretty much try anything.
So What's the Problem?
We understand that the whole thing was just the writers' excuse to get Bruce Willis and his motley crew of misfits into space. But try to follow the logic here: They replace seven men who have years of astronaut training and months of drilling experience with seven guys who have years of drilling experience but just a few days of astronaut training. The only possible reason they would even consider that is if it were easier to be an astronaut than an oil driller.
"He's got the right stuff. I can feel it."
They turn out to be right. While things go wrong almost from the start, it's the roughnecks who can improvise and find solutions while the astronauts just yell a lot and die. Adding insult to injury, the one Russian cosmonaut who ends up on the shuttle knows how to fix technical problems on an American ship better than any of the American astronauts.
For whatever reason, NASA doesn't train its people to beat the equipment with wrenches.
The only real screw-up on the part of the drilling team is so absurd and out of place that it feels like the writers tacked it on to show that it wasn't just astronauts fucking up right and left. Steve Buscemi, the one man on the drilling team who has Ph.D.s and can solve a Rubik's Cube, gets a made-up disorder called space dementia. He fires a machine gun at everybody and destroys all the pertinent equipment. So the big question hanging over the plot like a, well, like an asteroid is: Why wasn't anybody trained on space madness when it's that big of an issue? And more importantly, why did NASA give this group of pretend astronauts a giant gun?
"We need these for SPACE!"

Time to Care: Personal Medicine in the Age of Technology
In 1925, Francis Peabody famously said "The secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient." A new book by Norman Makous, MD, a cardiologist who has practiced for 60 years, is a cogent reminder of that principle.
In Time to Care: Personal Medicine in the Age of Technology, Dr. Makous tackles a big subject. He attempts to show how modern medicine got to where it is today, what's wrong with it, and how to fix it. For me, the best part of the book is the abundance of anecdotes showing how medicine has changed since Dr. Makous graduated from medical school in 1947. He gives many examples of what it was like to treat patients before technology and effective medications were introduced. He describes a patient who died of ventricular fibrillation before defibrillators were invented, the first patient ever to survive endocarditis at his hospital (a survival made possible by penicillin), a polio epidemic before polio had been identified as an infectious disease, the rows of beds in the tuberculosis sanitariums that no longer exist because we have effective treatments for TB. He tells funny stories: the patient who was examined with a fluoroscope and told the doctor he felt much better after that "treatment." He describes setting up the first cardiac catheterization lab in his area. No one who reads this book can question the value of scientific medicine's achievements between 1947 and 2010. Today we can do ever so much more to improve our patients' survival and health. But in the abundance of technological possibilities, the crucial human factor has been neglected.
Individualized care, which involves the use of science-inspired technology, is not personal care. Alone, it is incomplete. It does not provide the necessary reassurance that can only be provided through a trusted physician who focuses upon the totality of the person and not just upon a narrow technological application to a disease. Time and personal commitment are needed to build the mutual understanding and trust that are fundamental to personal care….the continued acceleration of science, technology, and cost has intruded on personal care in our country. This has also occurred during a time in which American individualism and its accompanying sense of entitlement have become more of a cult than ever before. In the absence of personal attention, patients demand more testing, but testing does not satisfy the need for personal interaction.
Makous invokes the Golden Rule: "Over the course of my career, I learned to treat patients as I would like to be treated under similar circumstances." (more…)

The Herdsman Cottage embodies luxurious country living. Everything about the cottage is impressive. The historic renovation effort completed in 2006 transformed the Herdsman Cottage from a common country house in to exquisite accommodations that sooth the soul. It has all the modern conveniences and technology without losing any of its character.
The Herdsman Cottage has a spacious Living Room with wood-burning fireplace that make it the perfect cozy cottage in the mountains. The kitchen blends luxury, of state-of-the-art appliances with casual country decor. The dining room seats eight and joins the kitchen and living area. Two additional bedrooms and a bath are located upstairs. The back porch is a great place to gather in the evening while cooking out by the flower and herb gardens.
The next best thing about the Herdsman property is its proximity to all of the wonderful amenities of The Old Dairy. While the kids love the pool and game room, everyone can benefit from soak in the hot tub or and a massage at the spa. The gym and meeting space complete the package, while the concierge services and knowledgeable staff make life easy.

FEMA says it expects to reach office funding deal soonFebruary 11,2013MONTPELIER The Federal Emergency Management Agency says federal and state officials hope to complete funding arrangements for the rebuilding of the Waterbury state office complex by the end of the month.
The two sides are working to determine how much FEMA will contribute to the cost of reconstructing the Waterbury campus, most of which was flooded and made unusable by Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011.
The state has designed a project that would demolish some of the existing structures in Waterbury, repair others and build new structures above the flood level.
The project is expected to cost $124.7 million. The state has been waiting to learn how much FEMA will pay. The states insurance company will also contribute.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

We can't let them get off the start they dd the last game. Bargnani has to be stopped. He played like an all-star in the last game. Gallo has to be on this game.
Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
Games against the raptors are always intense and hotly contested. I hope that we can pull off a big win here against a team we know we can beat.
These games are big time for me as all the basketball fans around me are either lakers fans or raptors fans. So when we face the raptors i've got to defend the knicks like a dog and they didn't give me much ammunition last game aside from gallo not getting enough touches...
no all star game for lee he better rape bosh tonite.
"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut
But yea, we need a win tonight. This is the toughest team we're gonna face over the next 5 and it would be nice to defeat them all. I think the remaining 4 will be a lesser challenge.
Last time they just came out flat, started down 17-3 if I remember correctly. As long as we avoid that flat start, should be a great game. They made it very interesting in that last game too.
Huge game tonight! A must win in order to keep the playoffs within our grasp. Lee...play like you have something to prove!
If Duhon can just keep those 16 points going, we are set. Ah, crap, that is 16 points in the last 8 games, OH NO, he has 16 turnovers also. Please, don't anyone tell me about his assist, those are only there because he is do damn scared to shoot anymore.
This has gone on the whole year, yet the only one I heard call D'Ant on it was Clyde, who said last game, "Your going to need Hughes the rest of this year, possibly in a vital role, playing every player on the whole bench last game, except Hughes is not to wise.". "They need on court game time." Your gong to need a veteran to get you there down the stretch. If Robinson (who is showing wear and tear) and Duhon who is showing nothing this year keeps his no points games with 30 plus minutes, Finally an announcer with some stones.
Idiot Van Gundy reported on ESPN Hughes was with 8 teams in his career. ESPN even puts up the graphic (the NBA site had the teams listed wrong, repeating Philly and Chicago twice. One, black circle Van Gundy is wrong, it is six teams, also Van Gundy failed to mention that he is in his 12th year @ 30 and that the average player in the league never cracks twelve. No, he is not Lebron or Kobe, but on this team, he is the best point guard on that bench. D'Ant just pulls him after one T/0 or missed shot, yet Duhon can have 32 minutes and 0 points. Benching Robinson cost him a game or two, doing the same with Hughes is going to cost him a game or two, it's going to be tight to get that last place.
Looking at the pregame, Hughes still leads the team in steals, he has not slowed down and can still cover the passing lanes. I know it kills D'Ant that Hughes is pulling in around 200K a game for a good seat, but D'Ant's actions with Curry, Robinson and Hughes are going to haunt him come 2010. Here is three vets that asked to get out under of this head game coach. Curry to press, Robinson via agent and 25K fine, Hughes just to Walsh.
D'Ant has a closed door policy and you don't know if your playing or not until he calls your name. Nobody knows with this economy, what the market will be, so throwing out figures is useless. The corporate boxes and names on arena's are not going to be renewed when companies are fighting chapter 11 or no longer exist or being bailed out. Going to be interesting.....
My friends dad got him tickets to the game. We don't know what seats, picking them up at the window. This should be a good game. I hope DLee has a career night. Let's go Knicks !
Mission : X Heat / Target : L.James
i hope Lee has and outstanding game.. we have to play D on Jack.. He seems to always play his career games against us
Of course Duhon had to be the first Knick that missed a shot..He is awful
Does Al Harrington knows he has 4 other teammates? Once the ball is his hands he ****ing shots it, pass the damn ball idiot! I can't wait for him to be traded...
