text: BeatsFromTheEast Aug4th SummerMixTape show! by Beats From The East published on 2012/09/06 06:57:20 +0000 Groups for track Dhol Not to be confused with doldrum, the dhol (Punjabi), is a drum (a percussion musical instrument) widely used in the Indian subcontinent, especially the Punjab region, and especially among the Sikhs of East Punjab. Apart from Punjab, Dhol has been adapted into the music of other regions throughout South Asia and abroad including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Sindh and Maharashtra. Nowadays, it is very popular in modern Punjabi music. The dhol is a drum that dates back to the 15th century. It was probably introduced to the Indian subcontinent via the Persian drum type dohol (duhul). The evidence for this is found in Ain-i-Akbari, which describes the use of duhul in the orchestra of the Mogul emperor Akbar. The Indo-Aryan word "dhol" appears in print around 1800 in the treatise Sangitasara. The dhol is most commonly associated with Punjabi music and dance. It was used in war by the Sikhs and later to celebrate successful harvests by Jatt landowners. This drum became the ground roots of modern Bhangra music. The Dhol drum is a very common instrument played in the regions of Punjab in India and Pakistan. From North India, the Dhol spread to other parts of the Indian subcontinent as well. Apart from Punjabi music, it is now used in music of other regions such as Maharashtra, Assam, Gujarat, Bengal (including Bangladesh), South India etc. It has also become popular in other parts of the world due to South Asian diaspora. The dhol is a double-sided barrel drum (straight barrels also exist) played mostly as an accompanying instrument to the traditional Punjabi dance of Bhangra, and the religious music of Sufism, Qawwali. In Qawwali music, the term dhol is used to describe a similar, but smaller drum used with the smaller tabla, as a replacement for the left hand tabla drum. The typical sizes of the drum vary slightly from region to region. In Punjab, the dhol remains large and bulky to produce the preferred loud bass. The drum consists of a wooden barrel with animal hide or synthetic skin stretched over its open ends, covering them completely. These skins can be stretched or loosened with a tightening mechanism made up of either interwoven ropes, or nuts and bolts. Tightening or loosening the skins subtly alters the pitch of the drum sound. The stretched skin on one of the ends is thicker and produces a deep, low frequency (higher bass) sound and the other thinner one produces a higher frequency sound. In contemporary Punjabi music, dhols with synthetic, or plastic, treble skins are very common. The drum is played using two wooden sticks, usually made out of bamboo and cane wood. The most common rhythm played on the dhol is the Chaal, which consists of 8 beats per measure. The stick used to play the bass side of the drum is a bit thicker (roughly about 10 mm in diameter) and is bent in a quarter-circular arc on the end that strikes the drum, the dagga. The other stick is much thinner and flexible and used to play the higher note end of the drum, the thili. The drum is slung over the neck of the player with a strap usually made up of ropes or woven cloth. The surface of the wooden barrel is in some cases decorated with engraved or painted patterns. Dhol was a popular musical instrument in both formal and informal dance performances for decades. Dhol players were once sought-after individuals for occasions of celebration, such as weddings, in India, but since the 1980s, the introduction of electronic devices such as tape recorders has led to a decline in their importance. Though formal Bhangra performances still involve traditional dhol, casual revelries are mostly carried out sans dhol. Nevertheless, dhol music still figures in the studio recordings of present day Raas/Garba and Bhangra music artists. The dhol is popular not only in North and West India and Pakistan,but is much-loved throughout India, Fiji, United Kingdom, Australia and North America. A smaller cousin of the dhol is called dholak or dholki. (From Wikipedia) bollywood Hi Guys! Time for some fusion family and folk music.

No. 6,368,565 entitled STERILIZATION APPARATUS FOR DENTAL AND ORTHODONTIC TOOLS incorporated herein by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a cassette and tray system wherein cassettes of varying sizes are used to hold collections of orthodontic or dental tools for use in the sterilization process.
2. Background Information
While the human mouth is hardly a sterile environment, there is a need to protect patients from the transmission of infectious diseases from one patient to another through the use of contaminated orthodontic or dental tools. Gone are the days when the orthodontist or dentist merely washed his hand tools between use on patients. Such organizations as the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontics, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Center for Disease Control are all actively working to set standards and guidelines to insure the safety of the patients as well as the orthodontists, dentists, and their assistants.
At the present time, there are three standardized methods of sterilizing dental and orthodontic hand tools. In each of the three, the hand tools are first dropped into a tank containing water and perhaps solvents, and ultrasound is applied to agitate the fluid to wash and remove the debris remaining on the hand tools from their last use. The tools are left somewhat damp then dried and heated in some manner to a temperature sufficient to destroy any microorganisms or viruses on the hand tools. The three primary methods of doing this are the use of dry heat, heat wherein the hand tools are heated to a temperature of at least 365� Fahrenheit for six minutes, or the use of steam under pressure in an autoclave system. The time to sterilize, using a steam autoclave system, depends on heat and pressure and whether the instruments are wrapped or not. A common wrapped cycle is 270� at 27 p.s.i. for fifteen minutes. An unwrapped cycle at the same temperature and pressure would be for three minutes. In some sterilization processes, chemicals are applied to the hand tools as an intermediate step between the ultrasonic bath and the heating. A third method of sterilization is a chemical clave wherein a heated, controlled atmosphere of various gases is used to heat the hand tools held within sealed sterile paper bags.
The problem is that orthodontists and dentists with busy professional practices will see many patients in any given work day, indeed it is not unusual for an orthodontist to see in excess of 100 patients per day. A lot of hand tools are used each day, and they are generally collected throughout the day and recycled, in bulk, through the sterilization process. In a busy orthodontics practice, it is not unusual to have one assistant dedicated solely to collecting hand tools and sterilizing them on a full time basis.
In the typical prior art orthodontic or dental practice, once the tools have been resterilized, they are simply returned to the workstation and placed where they are readily available for reuse. However, this is a source of contamination. If, for example, a dentist is working on a patient's teeth and calls to his assistant for a new and different tool, and the assistant reaches into the drawer to retrieve the tool wearing a latex glove that has been contaminated with the body fluids of the patient, the assistant can transfer those contaminants to other, unused tools which were previously sterilized. Inevitably, conditions arise where contaminated hands are used to retrieve tools from the drawers.
Accordingly, what is needed is a cassette system wherein cassettes can be preloaded with standard sets of tools for use in either orthodontic or dental practices, and kept together as a set throughout the sterilization process. What is also needed is a means of collecting the cassettes into convenient packages where they can be batch fed through the ultrasonic bath and heat applications, and remain in a sterile condition when they are returned as a set to the workstation. Additionally, this cassette collection system must require a minimum amount of counter space at the vicinity of the dental chair, either on the bracket table or the work side unit, and finally, the cassettes must be configured such that they remain stable and flat on the countertop surface when opened so that they do not fall off the table onto the floor, or worse yet, the patient.
Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description as follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objects and advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
These objects are achieved through use of a transport rack and a plurality of cassette systems. The transport rack is formed of sidewalls, a back wall, and a bottom wall which are all interconnected to form a rigid transport rack. The tray is provided with a plurality of shelves for holding cassettes which are inserted through the front of the transport rack. The walls and shelves of the transport rack are provided with a plurality of holes or slots through which fluids and debris cleaned during the ultrasonic cleaning portion of the sterilization process may readily pass.
The transport rack is also provided with two flanges which are attached to the top of the sidewalls. The transport rack is dimensionally sized to a preselected dimension as to provide for interchangeability of cassettes as is later described.
There are two basic designs for the cassettes. In the first design, first and second hinges are provided, with the first interconnecting the side wall of the cassette to a hinge plate, and the second hinge interconnecting the hinge plate to the top cover in such a manner that when the top cover is opened, it may be levered open from the top edge of the back wall and the hinge plates swinging down such that the cover lies flat against the surface upon which the cassette is resting. Like the transport rack, slots or holes are provided to allow for the passage of fluid and debris out from the cassette.
In the second design for the cassettes, the top cover is divided into two portions, the first being the cover portion and the second being the hinge plate with the hinge plate attached to the top of the side wall and the second hinge interconnecting the hinge plate to the remainder of the cover. As in the first design, the double hinge arrangement allows for the cover to be opened and laid flat against the surface upon which the cassette is resting.
In a third design, a fold down pliers rack is provided, which can be tilted up and used to hold pliers in a generally vertical orientation wherein the do not become entangled with each other.
In all designs, two opposing latch assemblies are provided so that equal and opposite pressure must be applied to the latches in order to unlatch the top cover so as to open it. The purpose of providing the double latches and the requirement for equal and opposite pressure is to prevent inadvertently pushing the transport rack off of the surface upon which it is resting since the use of both hands is required to open the latches.
The cassettes are sized in plurality of different sizes with the largest size and all intermediate sizes being full integer multiples of the smallest cassette size such that if the cassettes are used in a random manner, they can still be conveniently stacked to fully pack a transport rack prior to the sterilization process.
The cassettes are also provided with color-coded buttons fixed to the end walls so that the kits of dental tools that are contained within each cassette can be readily identified.
Two types of handles are provided, the first being a top handle which is provided with a pair of opposing plates which interfit underneath the flanges attached to the tops of the side walls along with a locking or insertion button to prevent the tray from sliding off of the handle plates. A side, levered handle is also provided with two insertion plates which also insert underneath and interfit underneath the flanges to permit withdrawal of the cassette from a sterilization device, which may be hot, having only a sidewall opening.
Still other objects and advantages of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in this art from the following detailed description wherein I have shown and described only the preferred embodiment of the invention, simply by way of illustration of the best mode contemplated by carrying out my invention. As will be realized, the invention is capable of modification in various obvious respects all without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the drawings and description of the preferred embodiment are to be regarded as illustrative in nature, and not as restrictive.
While the invention is susceptible of various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrated embodiments thereof have been shown in the drawings and will be described below in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
First referring to
Transport rack 10 is provided with two flanges, 22 and 24, which are attached to the top of sidewalls 14 and 12 respectively. Side handle insertion holes 27 in flanges 22 and 24 are provided at the front and back for receiving insertion pins 99 on side handle 90 as is later described and shown in
Shown in
First and second hinges 46 and 48 are also used to form a double hinge system for top cover 50. The purpose of the double hinge system is to ensure that the top cover 50 lies flat against the counter surface when cassette 32 is in the open configuration. In practice, it has been found that it is much more stable when it is laid flat as opposed to being levered open from the top edge of the back wall 42. First hinge 46 is attached at an intermediate, height position, halfway up the back of the back wall 46, and also to hinge extension plate 58 such that hinge extension plate will swing down as shown in
Top cover 50 is provided with lid extensions 54, having receiving holes 56 for receiving latch detent 64 and to secure top cover 50, first cassette 32.
The purpose of two opposing latch assemblies is so that equal opposing pressure is applied to first cassette 32 when both release buttons 60 are pushed in to withdraw latch detent 64 from receiving holes 56, in equal inward motion. Thus the first cassette 32 will remain stable and stationary when it is being opened at the dental or orthodontic workstation. Again, this increases the stability and decreases the likelihood that the cassette will move, either falling itself to the floor or worse yet, pushing something else off of the workstation/countertop onto the floor.
Also in the preferred embodiment, color-coded bars 104 are fixed to the end walls of first cassette 32. These can be made of thermal plastic or other heat resistant materials, or even simply painted metal. Color-coding can be a convenient way of quickly identifying certain specialized sets of hand tools that are used for specific procedures. Obviously, other coding indicia may be used.
Hinge assemblies 74 and 76 are identical to those shown and described for first cassette 32 are provided for second cassette 68.
In an alternative embodiment for second cassette 68, drop plate 72 can be made longer so that hinge 74 extends below the bottom of second cassette 68, thus enabling the user to fold top cover 70 underneath second cassette 68. In this configuration, lid extensions 54 will serve to tip second cassette 68 to an angle wherein the contents can be more easily viewed. In a third configuration, additional lid extensions 54 can be added to top cover 70 to serve as support legs so as to enable the user to flip top cover 70 completely under second cassette 68 and still rest flat on its support legs.
Also, as shown in
In another embodiment, as shown in
Currently practitioners use a band or crown box that is not heat sterilizable. In use, various sizes of orthodontic bands or temporary crowns are tried on the tooth being treated. The bands or crowns are taken out of the box with sterile tweezers so as to not contaminate the others that are still in the box. Tweezers are also used in the mouth during these procedures. Often the two tweezers are confused which inevitably causes contamination of the remaining bands or crowns. If this happens the sizes not used must be removed from the non-sterilizable band or crown box, sterilized in bulk, resorted by size and returned to the band or crown box. Also, with the prior art band or crown box, bands or crowns that were placed in the mouth, but not selected for use, must be kept separate from the remaining bands or crowns still in the band or crown box. There must also be later sterilized in bulk, resorted and returned to the band or crown box. This is labor intensive and therefor expensive.
By use of my divider plates 78, a sterilizable band or crown box is created. The amount of labor required to maintain sterilized bands or crowns is greatly reduced in that each time a band or crown of an inappropriate size is chosen, and contaminated in the mouth, it can be returned to its correct pocket, thus eliminating the time consuming resorting of bands or crowns sterilized in bulk. This immediate return of bands or crowns to the box is of no concern since the whole selection of bands or crowns in the box can be sterilized after each use. Obviously this also eliminates the concern of using non-sterile tweezers since all will be sterilized after each use.
As shown in
Thus, the handle can be removed, if desired, when the cassette is in use at the workstation either as a source of sterilized tools and/or a receptacle for contaminated tools.
Most sterilization systems include a front opening door as opposed to a top opening door on the heat application apparatus. In such cases, a top handle is of little use, and for that reason a side handle is provided as shown in
While there is shown and described the present preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that this invention is not limited thereto but may be variously embodied to practice within the scope of the following claims.
From the foregoing description, it will be apparent that various changes may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A lawsuit reported that a bachelor party mishap at a Philadelphia strip club landed the groom-to-be in a hospital with a ruptured bladder.
The Philadelphia Daily News reported Friday that Patrick Gallagher had been invited to lie on the stage at the Penthouse Club as a dancer slid down a pole.
The lawsuit filed last week in state court alleges the woman landed with such force on Gallagher's abdomen that his bladder ruptured.
Gallagher, of Lansdale, needed surgery after sustaining the injury in November 2010.

Pining is the subjective and emotional component of urge to search for the lost object. ~ Colin Murray Parkes
Colin Murray Parkes was a grief expert who studied the phases of grief and the behavior in those who are grieving. Searching behavior often explains why people try to connect with those whom they have just lost to death….but when the person is still out there, still "reachable" it makes it difficult to suspend contact and simply let the searching compulsion pass without doing anything about it.
Parkes quotes Konrad Lorenz who studied the "searching" behavior in the grey lag goose who would search for a mate even if the mate had been killed in plain sight. The goose will fly great distances, calling and wailing for the lost partner, often going such great distances as to get lost or injured in an accident. The frantic goose was detrimental to itself, unable to give up the search for the mate that was lost.
Parkes studied bereaved widows and found the searching behaviors to be similar. He observed their tendency to look for their husbands in a crowd or go to call their name or dial them on the phone…even though they were dead.
These behaviors happen in most bereaved people even though they know their loved one is dead. The bereaved person KNOWS, intellectually, there is no point to look for the person, but they have a strong impulse to search, to put life back together the way they knew it, and they often will search in vain…just like the goose.
This is a very distressing part of grief and EVERYONE experiences it to some degree no matter what the loss. We pine and we search as a way to reattach to the lost loved one, as a way to make the pain and loneliness go away.
Attachment makes us feel safe and secure in the world even if the attachment is unhealthy or destructive.
When the person is alive and there was a breakup, this is often when people will try to open up communications with the ex. The urge to "search" is part of the grieving process but you really should avoid getting back in touch with your ex. When you are pining and searching, you are in a temporary state and anything you say now can and will be held against you at a later date.
The searching/pining phase is extremely uncomfortable to just sit with. People who have had a loved one die find themselves calling them or going by their house during this intensely emotional phase. When the person is alive it makes it that much harder to avoid contact, but you really should. You don't want to present the pining/searching part of you to your ex right now. Nothing good will come of that. Don't do it.
Sit through the discomfort because connecting is just going to bring you back to the beginning and you don't want that.
The urge to search is normal, but the search should not be done.
Searching behaviors such as checking Facebook, texting, emailing, calling, writing, driving by, "bumping into" are all ways to put back together what was lost…but it CANNOT be put back together.
Understand the urge to search is a component of grief…it is a frustrating and uncomfortable part…it might make you feel as if you are going crazy…you might feel incredibly anxious and upset over it…
But it passes…the less you give into it, the easier it gets. The more you give into it, the harder it gets.
You don't want to lose your way or get into an accident…you want to stay strong and know where you are.
Journal. Write letters to the ex that you don't mail. Sit on your hands. Call a friend and say you're going crazy can you talk. Go to a movie. Do SOMETHING…but don't connect.
Tolerate the searching feelings without reaching back.
It gets better if you don't give into the searching behavior. Sit with it and know that it passes and that it gets better.
It really does.

Table top RP! You know...character creation with pen and paper...dice rolling to determine successes and failures...semi-acting out what your character is actually doing...room for development and advancement? Like White Wolf, Old WoD, DnD, etc.!
Table-top RPG's of any kind, card games, board games (Settlers of Catan, RISK, Scrabble, anything but Monopoly!), maybe some video games...but I like old classics just as much as new cinematic things.
I'm a nurse living in Toledo with my boyfriend (& our managerie) in our new home together! I'm creative, somewhat spontaneous, generally easy to entertain, & easy to get along with. When it comes to friendships, I'm in it for the long haul.

Excellent (free) beach. Quiet, less tourists. Just a perfect spot for relaxing, bbq and swimming. Small catering, rentals of beds and some palapa's for some shade!
Small, preserved and primitive - a few hens and roasters share the area with visitors - this beach is a great place. Calm and crystal-clear waters, ideal for snorkeling. Many large, comfortable palapas, enough to accommodate a large group of people. Nearby Willemstad, it becomes busy pretty soon. So, come on in early if you wish a palapa. If you...
This beach is a very nice and relaxed beach. You can get different types of food and drinks for a better price than the more rich and tourists beaches around Curacao. Snorkeling is also an option but you have to swim to the more deeper water. For me this is one of the nicest relaxing beaches of Curacao.
Of the three snorkeling sites we visited on Curacao (this one, Porto Mari, Lagun and Groote Knip), this ranked third. But if you follow the right wall out toward the point, there's an outcrop of hard and soft coral that's very impressive. In addition to the usual staghorn and brain coral, there are soft corals, large urchins, multicolored fans and...
I spent so much time here snorkeling. the fish and coral reef were so amazing and beautiful. Most of the time when I go snorkeling I'm disappointed by the wildlife. Not so at this beach.
3 thugs at the beach that pretended to be fixing a tire broke into our vehicle and stole 2 Go Pro cameras, prescription sunglasses, and other miscellaneous items that were in a bright green Eddie Bauer back pack. Community area is called St Willibrordus. We found the car the 3 thugs were driving and the 2 older men said they...
The entrance is for free, chairs cost 5NAF. The bar was quite cheap. We were there at 10 o'clock and there were few people there. However when we left at 1-2 o'clock it was getting more crowded..
The shelters were nice and large but bathrooms in poor condition. They do have a free shower. The day we were there the water was not clear for snorkeling.
Loved Daaibooi Beach! The water was crystal clear, and there were less tourists there (even on a Saturday) since most go to the neighboring Porto Marie Beach. Snorkeling was excellent! Got to see many Sea Creatures in the coral reef (from Blue Tang, to Sea Urchins, to Eels!)
This beach would be a lot better if there wasn't so much litter everywhere which is truly a shame. The snorkeling is not that great as there is no coral so between the litter and the mediocre snorkeling I wouldn't return here with so many other great spots to choose from.

Set in an ambient, open garden space shaded by colorful bougainvillea in the heart of Mykonos town, Avra offers mostly Mediterranean cuisine but Chef Nikos Iliopoulos also prides himself on a strong international selection which features good Asian and Italian dishes. Excellent appetizers include fried feta in pastry topped with sesame seeds, grapes, and rose petal jelly. For an impressive main course with Greek influences opt for a main dish like the oven roasted lamb with rosemary. An excellent Asian plate is the Chicken Oriental seasoned with ginger, onion, cashews, and soy sauce. To find Avra, look for the sign for the cross street off Matogianni.

Even If Romney Wins, The Country Is Still In Deep Trouble
Barack Obama is a singularly awful President.
He's a ship captain taking an ax to the bottom of the boat after it hit a reef, a fireman dropping a full tank of gas in the middle a burning house, a child chasing the water out right before a tsunami.
That being said, as my friend Rachel Marsden notes in her column today, even if Obama loses next week, this country's problems aren't going to magically disappear.
* The economy is terrible and not on track to rapidly improve.
* The job market is awful.
* Housing prices haven't recovered from their late 2008 crash and aren't likely to do so any time soon.
* We have a 16 trillion dollar debt that we seem unlikely to be able to pay off in the lifetime of anyone reading this post.
* We're running trillion dollar deficits, but BOTH PARTIES still seem to lack the will to make significant cuts (See the defense cuts for a great example of this).
* A European debt crisis seems likely to take place in the next few years and it will have a massive negative impact on the global economy.
* We're still on track to have our own debt crisis that would likely create a new "Great Depression" here as it sends the worldwide economy into a death spiral.
* Obamacare is slated to take effect and destroy our medical system in 2014.
* Both Social Security and Medicare are extremely expensive, unsustainable, desperately in need of reform, but politically dangerous to touch.
* North Korea still has nuclear weapons and is likely to continue to spread the technology.
* Iran is still on track to get a nuclear weapon and if it does so, even in a best case scenario, it would cause a number of poor unstable nations in the region to acquire them as well.
* Al-Qaeda is still looking to kill Americans and with our still almost wide-open borders, it has access to our population centers.
The good news is that most of these are not unsolvable problems.
The bad news is that these are not QUICK, EASY, POPULAR problems to solve, but they are very easy to demagogue. Historically, problems like that don't tend to be tackled in this country until there's a crisis and then, as often as not, both parties cooperate to put in place an ill-thought-out solution that causes as many problems as it solves.
That's where the country stands on the brink of the election and the only question is whether we're going to elect Mitt Romney, who will hopefully start to tackle these issues, or whether Barack Obama is going to be allowed to spend another four years making the situation worse as the time we have to avert a crisis dwindles.
We'll know soon enough.

|Even with $20 million in the bank, Brandon Bass still has big dreams
|07.14.12 at 5:35 pm ET
WALTHAM — Brandon Bass was rewarded for his career year, collecting a reported free agent prize of $20 million in a three-year deal to come back to Boston.
Now, he focused on proving the Celtics spent their money wisely.
"I had other offers out, but I knew where I wanted to be and that's back in a green jersey playing for the Celtics," Bass said. "It's a great organization, a great group of guys who are all about winning. I'm excited to be back."
Danny Ainge, the club's president of basketball operations, certainly saw enough of Bass to feel the investment is a wise one, especially with so many moving parts on the roster since the end of the season. There is a certain intangible value in familiarity, both for Bass and the team.
"Bringing Brandon back to the team was a top priority of ours after the season had ended," Ainge said. "Brandon has improved as a player every year that he has been in the NBA and we believe that the best is yet to come from him."
Last season, Bass had the best season of his career, averaging a 12.5 points. He became invaluable to Ainge and Doc Rivers when Jermaine O'Neal went down for the season with a bad wrist. With Kevin Garnett moving to the center position, Bass started nearly every game down the stretch, playing in 59 games, including 39 starts.
"I think I still have a long ways to go," Bass said. "I'm ready to get back in the gym, and come back a little bit better, [actually] a lot better."
The funny part of bringing Bass back – presumably to start next season at the big forward spot between Garnett and Paul Pierce – is he might have to win over his family more than he has to convince the Celtics.
"I've got big dreams," he said. "I'm 27 now. Some of my cousins say I'm getting old, but I think I'm still young and I still got big dreams of doing big things in the league. I want to make my imprint on the organization, on a team. I think this is the perfect team."
|Brandon Bass re-signs with Celtics
|07.05.12 at 5:00 pm ET
Brandon Bass never wanted to leave, and now he won't have to. The veteran power forward agreed to a three-year deal with the Celtics, per a league source, filling a major hole in the team's front line. Bass told the Herald that the deal was for $20 million total, but it's unclear how the deal breaks down in terms of an annual salary.
Using reported figures for Bass, Kevin Garnett and free agent guard Jason Terry while adding in rookie contracts for first-round picks Jared Sullinger and Fab Melo, the Celtics have committed an estimated $56 million to nine players.
The key word there is estimated. It's important to note that new contracts can't be officially signed and finalized until July 11 when the league completes its internal audit and arrives at a salary cap number as well as a luxury tax threshold.
By using the full mid-level exception to sign Terry, the Celtics would commit themselves to staying under the salary tax apron, which is expected to be a little more than $74 million. Once a team goes over the apron, it can't use the full mid-level or the bi-annual exception and the cap becomes a hard cap.
Yes, this all gets confusing, but as it stands the Celtics have somewhere in the vicinity of $18 million to complete their roster with Jeff Green and Ray Allen still unsigned, as well as other internal free agents like Mickael Pietrus and Greg Stiemsma. It's also worth noting that the Celtics have E'Twaun Moore and Sean Williams signed to non-guaranteed minimum contracts.
Allen met with the Heat on Thursday and the Associated Press reported that he would spend the night in Miami after a planned meeting with the Clippers on Friday was canceled in the wake of the Clippers agreeing to terms with Jamal Crawford. With Los Angeles out of the picture it appears to be a two-team race for Allen, although the Grizzlies have also expressed interest.
Miami is limited to offering Allen the taxpayer mid-level, which starts around $3.1 million per year. The Celtics have offered a two-year, $12 million deal. The Boston Herald reported that they could include a no-trade or a trade kicker in the deal.
As for Green, his agent David Falk said that he was optimistic a deal would get done, although it might not happen until next week. Falk reiterated that Green's goal was to return to Boston. The Celtics had Green signed to a one-year deal for $9 million last season before an aortic aneurysm was detected, so it's not out of line to expect a new deal to be constructed along similar parameters.
In other words, it's still possible for the Celtics to bring back Allen and Green and still have enough left to complete the roster, but it will be tight. The deal for Bass is another strong step in that direction. Locking up a starting power forward for less than $7 million a year is an exceptionally savvy signing.
Bass averaged a career-high 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Celtics this past season after he was acquired from the Magic in a sign-and-trade involving Glen Davis. After beginning the season as the team's sixth man, Bass joined the starting lineup for good after the All-Star break and helped the Celtics surge back into contention.
One of the game's top mid-range-shooting big men, Bass made 48 percent of his shots from 16-23 feet, a percentage that put him on par with big man All-Stars like Dallas' Dirk Nowitzki and Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett. The Celtics love his ability to make shots because that helps open up the court for Rajon Rondo's slashing game.
With Bass back in place, Garnett will presumably stay at the center position although their frontline still needs work before it can be completed. Still, the Celtics' lineup is beginning to take shape.
|What Kevin Garnett's return means for Celtics
|06.30.12 at 12:18 pm ET
Kevin Garnett arrived in Boston five years ago with the promise of rebirth for a franchise that had grown stale. He was a savior then — plucked from Minnesota for almost half a roster's worth of young players and draft picks ' and he was treated as such.
On a team of prideful individuals, Garnett's persona stood out as the defining one. Dedicated to the point of insanity and private to the point of aloofness, Garnett kept close watch over his basketball family and kept everyone else at bay. Something changed over the course of those five years, culminating last season in a Garnett that was slightly more accessible and endearingly human.
No one could have predicted five years ago that Garnett would ultimately become an institution, but here we are. He's become one of us: a Bostonian in more than just an address and a Celtic in more than just a uniform. When his contract expired, there was never a question of going anywhere else, it was only a matter of whether he'd come back for more.
We have our answer, as Garnett will sign a new deal, reportedly for three years and $34 million, roughly half the monetary value of his last contract, and assuring he will be in a Celtics uniform for almost a decade.
Garnett's new deal sets in motion an offseason that now takes on a defined shape. The Celtics are still contenders, and team president Danny Ainge has flexibility to build the rest of the roster. Salary cap economics being what they are, Ainge is limited to a degree, but he has a host of options at his disposal that weren't as obvious 24 hours ago. Read the rest of this entry »
|Mickael Pietrus: 'I had to take a shot and make it'
|06.06.12 at 1:48 am ET
Mickael Pietrus hit a pair of crucial 3-pointers in the fourth quarter Tuesday night as the Celtics held off the Heat, 94-90, in Game 5 at American Airlines Arena in Miami. Pietrus hit 5-of-8 shots from the floor and finished with 13 points off the bench as the Celtics moved to the brink of the NBA finals for the third time in five seasons by taking a 3-2 series lead over the heavily favored Heat.
Pietrus said he received a special source of inspiration on Monday via text message from former Celtic and current TNT NBA analyst Shaquille O'Neal.
"I got a text from Shaq, he was telling me keep believing and keep playing, so that's what I did," Pietrus said.
Pietrus hit a huge 3-pointer to cap a wild flurry midway through the fourth as the Celtics and Heat were battling for control of the game. With the Heat on a 9-0 run to go up 78-72, Brandon Bass had his dunk blocked by Dwyane Wade, but the loose ball went out to Rajon Rondo, who touched it immediately to a wide-open Pietrus on the right baseline. Pietrus drilled it to cut the Heat lead to three and help spark Boston's comeback.
"When Rondo took that rebound and kicked it out to me, I knew I had to take a shot and make it, so that's what I did," Pietrus said.
"The one thing you know about Pietrus is he's going to shoot it. He's been down this road before," Doc Rivers said, giving credit to Rondo for touch-passing to Pietrus on the wing.
With 2:11 left and Miami back in the lead at 83-82 on a Mario Chalmers 3-pointer, Pietrus stepped up and did it again, nailing another trey on a pass from Pierce. The triple put Boston up 85-83 and again quieted the crowd, which was anticipating a Heat run to close out the game as in Game 2.
"I'm very happy with the way we've been playing defensively and I think it's up to us to go home and close it out," Pietrus said.
|Game 2: Rondo, Rondo, Rondo
|05.29.12 at 7:45 pm ET
MIAMI — Just about everyone would take the following stat line from their point guard: 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists. But Rajon Rondo is not just anyone, and for the Celtics to hobble their way out of Miami with a series split, he has to play much better in Game 2.
Rondo had a horrid start to the opener, with all four of his turnovers coming in the first quarter. Then, he turned it on in the next 12 minutes, scoring eight points and handing out four assists while the Celtics tricked the game up with a number of smaller lineups featuring four wing players on the court at the same time. "Fools gold," Doc Rivers called it.
That's not sustainable, and the Heat got them out of that early in the second half, when coach Erik Spoelstra put Dwyane Wade on Rondo and kept him 10 feet off the ball. Rondo's seen that defense before and while giving him room can allow him to pick defenses apart with his passing, it doesn't work if, A) the defender is as big and talented as Wade, and B) no one on the Celtics can make a shot.
Wade was allowed to roam, which disrupted passing lanes, timing and whatever rhythm is left in the Celtics' offense. Rivers said after the game that he thought Rondo let his analytical side take over instead of just relying on his speed and instincts.
"You can't read [defenses] and play a speed at the same time," Rivers said. "We got through it a lot: 'Rondo, just trust your instincts. Your speed has to be part of it, your instincts will take over, you'll make the right decisions.' We have to give him more room and guys have to hit shots."
Asked how many defensive looks they threw at him, Rondo deadpanned, "Fourteen." But given a day and half to prepare, he should have a better plan of attack.
"You could say that, but teams make adjustments," he said. "They may guard me the same Game 2, they may not. They may throw some different things at me. At the end of the day, you got to make changes throughout the game. You can't just come into a gameplan and stick to it, because good teams in the conference finals will make adjustments."
True enough, but Rondo has to be on it from the opening tip if the Celtics are going to have a chance, and Boston has to help him by getting defensive rebounds and getting the ball to him quickly in transition. The Heat have made stopping him their top priority and 16-9-7 isn't going to cut it. Read the rest of this entry »
|Veteran Celtics win with old reliable: Defense
|05.22.12 at 1:50 pm ET
In the new Big Three era, when the moon is large, the food is prepared properly, and whatever other wacky Kevin Garnett-ism you want to use to describe the Celtics playing to their potential, there has been one constant. If unsure of the answer, let Mickael Pietrus spell it out for you:
"D-E-F-E-N-S-E," Pietrus said. "That's the key. When offensively things aren't going well, you can always count on everybody to play great defense. That's our coach's mentality. That's the Celtics' mentality."
The Celtics have finished in the top five in points allowed every year since the 2007-08 season. This year has been no different. During the regular season opponents scored 89.3 points per game against the C's, good for second-fewest in the NBA. Through 11 games of the playoffs, Boston has allowed just 84.9 points per game. But in the first half of the pivotal Game 5 Monday night, the Celtics struggled to execute defensively and the 76ers took advantage, shooting 54.8 percent while taking a three-point lead at halftime.
"Understanding what got us here," Garnett said about the keys to the Celtics' success. "Riding out our defense. I think when we get erratic and we get away from being disciplined defensively, it makes it hard on us. When we stick to our principles and our schemes, it's hard to score on us."
What transpired over the course of the second half proved Garnett is absolutely right. The Celtics regained some semblance of control in a wildly unpredictable series with their 101-85 victory. Some analysts will point to the Celtics getting to the free throw line 17 more times than the Sixers; others will speak about Brandon Bass outscoring the entire Philly team, 18-16, in the third quarter. And those are valid reasons why Boston prevailed, but they also are anomalies.
However, the C's defense binding together and holding the 76ers to just 35 second-half points on 37.1 percent shooting is hardly surprising. As Garnett said, it is what Boston is built on. The C's active hands served as a catalyst to completely reverse the feel of the game. In the third quarter alone, the Sixers had six turnovers and the Celtics had four steals, turning what had been a three-point deficit into a nine-point lead entering the fourth quarter. From that point on, the Celtics never looked back.
"It's due to their adjustments," Elton Brand said. "The first two games they were playing our pick and roll and our drag screens a certain way, now they are playing it a different way, and it doesn't always bode well for us to execute. We've been turning the ball over. They're long and athletic, so we've been going into those traps."
|Kevin Garnett: Philadelphia's 'got fair-weather fans'
|at 1:04 am ET
For 24 minutes of Game 5, the Celtics looked lazy, old, disinterested and whatever other adjective you want to use to describe a team that appeared resigned to the fact that Father Time wasn't willing to cooperate and the Eastern Conference semifinals were slipping away to the younger, fresher legs of the 76ers.
Whatever they felt, the hushed Garden crowd sensed it, too. And then the third quarter happened.
Whether it was the ridiculous offensive foul call on Kevin Garnett against Spencer Hawes four minutes after halftime that elicited chants of "bull[stuff], bull[stuff]" or the barrage of Brandon Bass buckets, the Celtics awoke a Boston crowd that sleepwalked through the first half. Or was it the other way around?
"This goddamned crowd here sparks you," said Garnett (20 points, 8-of-17 FG). "It doesn't take much here, man. … When speaking about this crowd, man, it's like plugging in. They're enthused from 48 minutes on, from the tip on, so I can't see the difference between minute from minute. I feel like every minute I look up, I see my family, I see people yelling, I see the drunk, fat guy. I can decipher one from the other. This crowd is ridiculous, man. I love it."

The summer season is upon us with big movies X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Star Trek already out in theaters and plenty more on the way. The next biggie for me is Terminator Salvation which opens in just two weeks.
Similar to Trek and Wolverine, there's already talk of sequels for Terminator Salvation. If the trailers we've seen so far for this movie are any indicator, then that talk is certainly justified. However, I'm starting to get just a wee bit worried with the release of this extended trailer.
The trailer below seems to sum up much of the movie and to me, it reveals quite a lot about the plot and how certain events and character meet-ups occur. So, if you don't want to know any more about Terminator Salvation before it opens, you may want to avoid this video. Otherwise, enjoy:
I'm no longer getting the "this is awesome" vibe that I got from the previous full trailer (which is my favorite trailer of the year by the way). Perhaps, that is because I've simply been over-saturated with marketing material for this movie and all the vehicles, robots and explosions I've seen many times over in the TV spots.
Is it just me, or do some of the CGI elements look pretty weak?
I'm excited for this movie regardless and can't wait to see it!
What do you think of the new and longer trailer?
Terminator Salvation is directed by McG and opens May 22, 2009.

Dennis Farina is being remembered by family, friends and co-stars this week.
Dennis Farina, the best-loved American actor best known as Detective Joe Fontana on Law & Order, is being remembered in the television and movie world following his death at the age of 69 this week. Farina - whose style was so inimitable that producers and directors called for 'Dennis Farina types' when casting cops and mobsters - died in Scottsdale, Arizona after suffering a blood clot in his lung.
Farina, who worked as a real life police officer before turning to television and movies, was gifted with a naturalistic acting presence that flourished in the likes of Saving Private Ryan, Snatch and on Crime Story.
One of his last television roles came on Fox's smash-hit sitcom New Girl, on which he played Jake Johnson's character's flamboyant and estranged con man father whose attempts to reconnect with his sibling turn out to be an elaborate scam.

The Law & Order actor was a Chicago police officer for a number of years before entering show business
Dennis Farina, the tough guy actor who became one of TV's most well-known detectives on Law & Order after years of working as an actual policeman, has passed away aged 69. A publicist for the actor confirmed the news on Monday (July 22) that he had died, revealing that the actor passed away in Scottsdale, Arizona after developing a fatal blood clot in his lung.
Dennis Farina passed away on Monday
After serving in the army, Farina went on to spend 18 years in the Chicago Police Department's burglary division, from 1967 to 1985. Farina first gained work as an actor in Michael Mann's 1981 film Thief and began to moonlight as an actor before handing in his badge in 1985. He worked with Mann on a number of occasions, including his television shows Crime Story and Miami Vice, and the movie Manhunter.

Law & Order star Dennis Farina has died in Arizona at age 69 after a fatal blood clot on the actor's lung.
In a terribly sad release, Dennis Farina's rep has confirmed the death of 69 year-old Law & Order actor Dennis Farina after he suffered from a blood clot on his lung, TMZ.com reports. The actor was best known for his role as Det. Joe Fontana – an NYPD homicide detective - in NBC's cop drama, Law & Order. As well as the long-running TV cop show, Farina also starred in Get Shorty, Snatch and Midnight Run where more often than not, he'd play the tough 'bruiser' type of character or the disgruntled bad guy.
However, in real-life it was clear that the actor was more of a teddy bear than a meat head, with a warm infectious smile and a head full of stories from his long acting career. In a past interview with Contact Music, Farina spoke of his love of golf, his home in Arizona where he goes to get tanned, and growing up in Chicago where he became a cop in real-life before he started playing them on screen.
