Proform Treadmill Reviews
ProForm treadmills are the mass market brand from ICON Health and Fitness. ICON is the largest retailer of budget machines offering models priced between $500 and $1000, but it also offers a select few units in the $1000 to $2000 range.
While some treadmill reviews may have issues with some models in ICON's line, there are many surprisingly good treadmills which carry the ProForm name, and all the units are affordably priced.
Most folks won't realize what improvements ProForm made "under the hood" in recent years, but they can still appreciate the full range of features ("bells and whistles") that these budget machines are loaded with. No other manufacturer has been able to match ProForm treadmills in terms of the expanded number of programs, heart rate control feature, large running area, incline and resistance levels, easy folding designs, and so on.
The lineup is quite diverse and changes often, so it's a bit hard to keep up with everything that have to offer. Currently, they have the popular PRO series, the Premier Series, Sport Series, Desk Series, the Boston Marathon series and a few Performance and Power models.
While we aren't suggesting that serious runners should consider these budget machines, we do feel that the vast number of people who want a home treadmill for walking or light jogging will have no problems with ProForms for many years of continuous use. In fact, the company's premier TV model, the ProForm Perspective ES (now discontinued), is one of the sturdiest entertainment units we've seen, and we don't often recommend TV models.

We might also mention that we've been made aware that there has been an increase in significantly positive customer treadmill reviews on mid-priced models, i.e., the $899 to $1199 ProForm treadmills.
As we mentioned, ICON Fitness has upgraded the quality of the machines over the past two years but did so without increasing retail prices. They've added better motors and higher quality rollers, and with fewer needed repairs on these expensive parts, ICON is able to offer much longer treadmill warranties.
Even the lower end ProForm treadmills now feature a 25-year motor warranty with at least 1 year on parts and labor, and ICON Fitness has decided to expand coverage on mid-priced treadmills with a lifetime motor warranty, a lifetime frame warranty, 5 years on parts and 2 years on labor. Now with the extended service plans you can purchase, Proform treadmills are an affordable choice and worth taking a look.

possible repost but GAWD DANGIT!
GRAPHIC VIDEO: Dash cam video shows deadly shootout with Middlefield police during traffic stop
MIDDLEFIELD, Ohio - Dash cam video released from Middlefield police shows a man shooting at police with an assault rifle during a traffic stop in March.
During a news conference Friday, police showed the weapons and other items that were found in the suspects car.
According to police, officers pulled over James Gilkerson, 42, of Mentor-on-the-Lake, on March 10 for failing to stop at the intersection of East High Street and North State Avenue.
The video shows Gilkerson getting out of the car and firing an AK-47-style rifle at the police officers.
Officers Erin Thomas and Brandon Savage were injured by gunfire. Thomas was shot in the hand. Savage was able to fire back and strike Gilkerson.
Gilkerson then moves back toward his car and yells kill me while continuing to fire shots.
A report released by the Geauga County prosecutors office said Gilkerson fired 33 rounds at the officers. His gun had a 40-round magazine attached. Officer Savage fired 29 rounds.
Inside Gilkersons car, police found multiple loaded magazines and loads of ammunition, ski masks and gloves, military-style ammo cans, a scoped .22 caliber rifle, instructional DVDs and books such as Kitchen Approved Plastic Explosives, Advance Close-Range Gunfighting, Homemade Detonators and others.
The prosecutor ruled earlier this week that both officers acted in self defense and would not face any charges.

Linda Jagiela got her first call from Nydia Neubauer four years ago.
Jagiela owned a car service in Marlton, and Neubauer wanted a driver. She didn't have a specific destination. She just wanted to be picked up in New Hope in a black Town Car and chauffeured wherever she pleased.
To Lambertville, N.J., to get treatment for her dog. To a garage 100 miles away in Milford, Pa., where Neubauer said she had stored her furs. To the Jersey Shore.
Neubauer, who typically traveled with two dogs and a woman she called a maid, painted herself as a rich heiress, Jagiela said. She loved to talk about herself, her Hamptons home, and her celebrity friends.

If you're regularly teased for your cooking . . . if you've burned more dinners than you can remember . . . if your efforts to cook fail even when you follow a recipe to a T . . . you're exactly the person we're looking for to enter our third annual Lousy Cooks Contest.
Entries are being accepted now for the contest, which seeks to identify the worst cooks around and provide them with some much-needed instruction and (we hope) confidence.
You can nominate yourself or someone you know. Just make your best case for why you or your nominee needs and deserves help in the kitchen. Be sure to include specific anecdotes or examples.
For the last two years, we've chosen two or three main winners and a pair of runners-up. But that left so many needy home cooks on the ledge. So this year, we're expanding our Lousy Cooks class to 10.
Our 10 challenged cooks will be treated to a cooking class the evening of June 25 in the Madame Kuony Demonstration Kitchen at the Milwaukee Public Market, 400 N. Water St. The class will be taught by culinary instructors from Milwaukee Area Technical College and the Art Institute of Wisconsin.
And the content will be determined in part by the Lousy Cooks themselves. Each will be asked to submit a list of specific skills they'd like to acquire or techniques they want to learn. Winners also will receive a Journal Sentinel Food apron and a cookbook, and they will be featured in stories in the Journal Sentinel.
Entries are due May 14. Don't forget to include your (or your nominee's) daytime phone number, email address and mailing address. Entrants must live in the immediate Milwaukee area (Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Waukesha, Racine or Washington counties).

This application is a Continuation of application Ser. No. 08/741,397, filed Oct. 29, 1996, U.S. Pat. No. 5,757,944, which is a File Wrapper Continuation of application Ser. No. 08/489,801, filed Jun. 13, 1995, abandoned which applications are incorporated herein by reference.
This invention relates to telephone headsets, and in particular to a telephone headset that is held on the ear of an operator. This telephone headset is designed to remain properly balanced and positioned for proper functioning when the headset body and/or the earhook is moved for adjustment on the ear of the operator.
Telephone headsets continue to become smaller and decrease in weight, as electronics become increasingly sophisticated. Several of these headsets include complex bulky structures for retaining the headset on the head of the operator such that the microphone remains in the sound envelope of the operator and the ear piece remains in the ear of the operator. Other headsets are designed to attach to the ear of an operator. However, these headsets exhibit a major drawback in that even slight adjustments will cause the headset to become unstable and unbalanced, whereby the microphone portion moves out of the sound envelope of the operator's voice and the transducer moves out of the ear of the operator.
The present invention improves on the prior art by providing a telephone headset apparatus that remains balanced on an operator, within the sound envelope and thus, properly functioning, when the headset apparatus is being adjusted on the head of the operator. The telephone headset apparatus comprises a body having a microphone at one end and a transducer at the opposite end, an earhook, for attaching the apparatus to the ear of the operator, and a mechanism contained within the body for holding the earhook in a frictional engagement that allows for rotation of the earhook. The mechanism is retained in the body such that it is movable, allowing for earhook movement having three degrees of freedom (i.e., rotating, tilting and pivoting). The mechanism is located at a point within the body where upon adjustment of the earhook by the operator, the headset apparatus remains, properly balanced, for uninterrupted operation.
The present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals identify corresponding or like components.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a rear view of the apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a front view of the apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a side view of the apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the apparatus of the present invention;
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the apparatus of the present invention taken along line 6—6 of FIG. 5, with the clutch and earhook removed;
FIG. 7 is a sectional view of the apparatus of the present invention taken along line 7—7 of FIG. 5, with the clutch and earhook removed;
FIG. 8 is a top view of the apparatus of the present invention detailing movement of the earhook;
FIG. 9 is a side view of the apparatus of the present invention detailing movement of the earhook;
FIG. 10 is a sectional view of the apparatus of the present invention taken along line 10—10 of FIG. 4, with the earhook removed; and
FIG. 11 is a sectional view in accordance with FIG. 10, with the clutch having been moved.
FIG. 1 shows the headset 20 of the present invention in use with a telephone operator 22. The headset 20 includes a body 24 having a microphone 26 at one end and a transducer 28 at the opposite end. The body 24 is held on the ear of the telephone operator 22 by an earhook 30, rotatably mounted in a clutch 34. The clutch 34 is movably retained in the body 24, and is positioned along the body 24 at a point intermediate the microphone 26 and the transducer 28. This arrangement of the earhook 30 within the clutch 34, coupled with the arrangement of the clutch 34 in the body 24, allows the earhook 30 movement with three degrees of freedom. A cord 36, received in a protrusion 38 of the transducer 28, allows connection of the headset 20 to a telephone system (not shown).
FIGS. 2-5 show the headset 20 in greater detail. The headset 20 includes a body 24 terminating in a microphone 26 and a transducer 28. The body 24 is preferably made of two pieces, an inner piece 40, placed adjacent the face of the operator 22 (FIG. 1), and an outer piece 41, located opposite the face of the operator 22 (FIG. 1). Each piece 40, 41 is preferably tapered such that the portion of the body 24 at the microphone end has a smaller circumference than at the transducer end.
The inner and outer pieces 40, 41 also include recessed portions 44, 45 on both their upper surfaces 48 and lower surface 49, that form a well 50, extending through the body 24. The well 50 frictionally retains the clutch 34 in a movable engagement. The well 50 is located at a point along the body 24, where the microphone 26 and the transducer 28 will remain stable and balanced on the operator 22 (FIG. 1), keeping the microphone 26 within the operator's voice envelope. The headset 20 remains functional and in proper operation, when the earhook 30 and/or the clutch 34 are moved as the headset 20 is being placed onto or adjusted to the ear of the operator 22 (FIG. 1)
The inner piece 40, in particular that portion that forms the microphone 26, includes an opening 52 for sound. The portion of the transducer 28 formed by this inner piece 40, is preferably asymmetrically conical in shape, for adaptation to the ear, and terminates in a vertex 54, surrounded by apertures 56, open to the ambient environment. The vertex 54, and the apertures 56 therein, are positioned off-center with respect to the generally circular shape of the inner piece 40 that forms a portion of the transducer 28. This off-center positioning allows the vertex 54 to fit inside the ear in close proximity to the ear canal, while enhancing the balance of the headset 20 on the operator 22 (FIG. 1).
The outer piece 41, in particular that portion that forms the transducer 28, includes radially aligned apertures 57, open to the ambient environment. The protrusion 38 extends from this outer piece 41 to receive the connecting cord 36 (FIG. 1).
Turning additionally to FIGS. 6 and 7, the inner piece 40 and the outer piece 41 combine to form a hollow cavity 60 for housing for the various electronic (microelectronic) components, such a microphone unit (not shown), amplifiers (not shown), receivers (not shown), wires (not shown) and other components typically known to those of skill in the art for telephone or other headsets. The hollow cavity 60 at the microphone 26 includes indentations 61 conforming to the shape of the microphone component and guideribs 62 for wires. The cavity 60 includes the well 50, that contains the clutch 34.
The structural integrity of the cavity 60 is maintained by an outwardly extending support member 63, on the outer piece 41 that is received in a cup 64 protruding from the inner piece 40. Additionally, the inner piece 40 includes teeth 66 a, 66 b that receive a perpendicular rib 67 on the outer piece 41 in a cooperating arrangement for further maintaining the structural integrity of the cavity 60. Additional support structures for maintaining the structural integrity of the cavity 60, other than those described, but well know to those skilled in the art are also permissible, provided they allow for proper placement of the electronic components and wires placed in the cavity 60.
The well 50 is designed to contain the clutch 34 in a movable engagement. The well 50 includes oppositely disposed concave walls 68 a, 68 b, 69 a, 69 b on the inner piece 40 and the outer piece 41 respectively, having curvatures approximately equal to that of the clutch 34. The concave walls 68 a, 68 b, 69 a, 69 extend from near the center of each piece 40, 41 to openings 72, 74 (formed by the recessed portions 44, 45 of the inner and outer pieces 40, 41) at the upper 48 and lower 49 surfaces of the body 24. These openings 72, 74 have lengths less than the diameter of the clutch 34. Convex-ended members 75 a, 75 b, oppositely disposed on the outer piece 41, are positioned to abut the ends of the clutch 34, preferably at the opposite peripheral ends. This abutment is such that the clutch 34, and ultimately the earhook 30, can be pivoted laterally about the body 24 for adjusting the earhook 30. This is described in detail in FIGS. 10 and 11 below.
The convex-ended members 75 a, 75 b are received by cut outs 76 a, 76 b extending from the inner piece 40. The cooperating structures of the convex-ended members 75 a, 75 b and the cut outs 76 a, 76 b also function to maintain the structural integrity of the cavity 60. Alternately, additional convex ended members and cut outs may be employed and any or all of the convex ended members and cut outs could be located on either the inner piece 40 and the outer piece 41.
Referring additionally to FIGS. 10 and 11, the clutch 34 is preferably a lightweight plastic or polymeric disc. A bore 80 extends through clutch 34 and receives a first linear portion 82 of the earhook 30. The inner and outer pieces 40, 41 include walls 84 a, 84 b, 85 a, 85 b extending from a central point and tapered outwardly toward the upper 48 and lower 49 surfaces. The tapers combined form an dihedral angle θ, of approximately 20į, with a single taper being angled at θ/2 (with respect to the vertical). The clutch peripheral edge surface 86 abuts the convex-ended members 75 a, 75 b, allowing the clutch 34 to be moved (pivoted), in the direction of the double arrow 87, to positions as far as where the clutch side faces 88, 89 abut opposite tapered walls 84 b, 85 a (shown in FIG. 11).
The inner piece 40 and the outer piece 41 that form the body 24, are preferably made of lightweight plastics by injection molding or the like. Alternately, other similar materials known to those skilled in the art, made by conventional techniques, could be used as well. These lightweight materials decrease the stress of the headset 20 on the ear. The inner piece 40 and the outer piece 41 are preferably attached by a friction or snap fit, by having cooperating (i.e. male-female) edges 90, 91 (FIGS. 6 and 7) and secured by adhesives, spot welding or the like.
The earhook 30 is configured to the shape of the human ear, for retention thereon. The preferred earhook 30 includes a first linear portion 82, a second linear portion 93, and a curved portion 94. The first linear portion 82 is tapered to include a portion of a greater outside diameter than that of the bore 80 (FIGS. 10 and 11), in order to be received in the bore 80 with sufficient friction to retain the earhook 30, and allow for the earhook 30 to rotate therein (as detailed in FIG. 8 below). This first linear portion 82 may also include a cut out segment 83 (FIG. 3) to facilitate movement through the bore 80. Other alternate designs are permissible, provided they are configured for the human ear. This earhook 30 is preferably made of lightweight plastic or metal. It may be coated with an elastomer or other similar material to provide increased friction, enhancing the retention forces between the first linear portion 82 and the bore 80 (FIGS. 10 and 11) of the clutch 34. The earhook 30 may also be padded with additional soft material if desired, for the operator's comfort.
FIG. 8 details movement of the earhook 30 within the clutch 34. This functional retention of the earhook 30 in the bore 80 (FIGS. 10 and 11) allows the earhook 30 to rotate about the bore 80 to the positions for ordinary usage on the ear or storage, detailed in phantom lines and solid line 95. Also shown is the rotational capability of earhook 30, as detailed in phantom lines and broken line 96.
FIG. 9 details rotation of the clutch 34 within the well 50 of the body 24. The rotation of the clutch 34 (in the direction of the double arrow 98) allows the earhook 30 to move (tilt) to the positions, shown in phantom lines for adjustment on the ear of the operator 22 (FIG. 1).
While the invention has been described in connection with an embodiment, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to that embodiment. The invention is intended to cover all alternatives, modifications and equivalents as may be included within the spirit and scope thereof, as defined by the appended claims.

|Doc Rivers and Celtics: 'Last year was last year… We don't want a repeat of that'
|06.03.12 at 7:14 pm ET
Try as they might, the national and local media was unsuccessful in the 45 hours since the end of Friday's Boston's win over the Heat in Game 3 to draw the Celtics in to comparing last year to this year against LeBron James and company.
"I don't even remember last year, to be honest with you," said Paul Pierce when asked about the details of the 4-1 loss to the Heat in the Eastern semifinals last year.
"I don't, really," Doc Rivers said when asked if he recalled Boston winning Game 3 in 2011 before losing a heart-breaker in Game 4 in overtime. "I know we lost. I think that's the game Rondo got injured but I'm not even sure of that. Oh, it was Game 3. I don't even remember. That tells you what I remember."
Indeed, the inspired Celtics overcame the dislocation of Rajon Rondo's left elbow in a collision with Dwyane Wade in Game 3. They had a great chance to tie the series when Ray Allen drilled a three to put the Celtics up, 84-81, with 2:28 left. But James hit a three of his own 28 seconds later and James hit a jumper to put Miami up, 86-84. Pierce hit a jumper to tie it, 86-86, with 41 seconds left. After a James turnover, the Celtics had the last 19.5 seconds left to win it. They had to settle for a missed fadeaway from Pierce with 0.9 seconds remaining. '
In that game, Kevin Garnett had seven points and made just 1-of-10 from the field in 41 minutes. That cannot happen again for the Celtics to win Game 4, something they failed to do in 2011.
"We just want to be consistent in how we play," Pierce said. "Last year was last year. It's over with. We don't want a repeat of that so we just have to be consistent in everything we're trying to do. We're going to continue to try and get him the ball, get as many as touches out of him as possible. We know that's been working for us. So, when Kevin gets it going from the inside, it really opens up things for a lot of us on the perimeter."
The Celtics would be outscored 12-4 in overtime in the game that would essentially seal Boston's playoff fate in five games.
"We had opportunities," Rivers reflected. "Clearly, we had a couple of great shots. I think we had a terrible possession now that I think about it before overtime. Our last possession [of regulation]. Thanks for bringing that up."
|Celtics-Heat Game 4: All about adjustments
|at 2:10 pm ET
WALTHAM — There's little doubt the Heat will try to get Dwyane Wade more involved in Game 4 as they look to take a 3-1 series lead and have the chance to clinch the Eastern Conference finals at home on Tuesday in South Beach.
But to do that, they will have to solve what the Celtics have been throwing at them – namely double-teams and various switches on coverage. Let Paul Pierce explain:
"We tried to collapse on him when he has the ball," Pierce said. "He does a lot of isolation from the top [of the circle] so we just try to sink in. We know how great he can be driving to the hole in the half-court. When he comes off the pick-and-roll, we want to trap him as much as possible. We don't really want to get him going. We know they're going to get the majority of opportunities between him and LeBron but he's one of the guys we feel like we can kind of corral with Kevin and myself with the size advantage that we have."
Do things change if Chris Bosh returns?
"We haven't seen that," Pierce added. "We'll make our adjustments definitely if Bosh is out there playing. You can't trap as much because he's another perimeter threat, another scoring threat. We'll have to see.
"Always in-game decisions and adjustments are important, especially when things don't work out. That's part of the game. When one thing isn't going right, you have to make that adjustment. We figure we have to get to their shooters. They made a lot of 3-point shots in Game 2 so that's something we had to make an adjustment to get to the shooters a little bit better. We did a better job at that. We did a better job of keeping them out of the paint and did a better job of keeping them off the free throw line. So, every game is different. When you realize your mistakes, that's when the adjustments come in."
As for attacking Miami's defense, even with LeBron James and Wade on the court, Pierce says they have to keep attacking the low post.
"I think we have the size advantage with [Kevin Garnett] and [Brandon Bass], especially when they go small a lot," Pierce said. "The emphasis is to try to get the ball in the paint as much as possible and if they collapse, find our shooters. That's been the thing the whole season, we want to play inside-to-out as long as they're good shots.
"I thought we just moved the ball a lot better. The ball didn't stick. They're a great defensive team and when the ball is sticking on one side of the floor and they're loading up. I thought the ball really moved. We set harder screens, we cut a little bit better and that frees up everybody when we play that way." Read the rest of this entry »
|Paul Pierce: 'We needed a team effort'
|06.02.12 at 3:08 am ET
Yes, the Celtics had Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett all score at least 20 points Friday night in the 101-91 Game 3 win over the Heat. But Friday night's must-have win over Miami had a much different feel.
Instead of just seven points from the bench (as was the case Wednesday), the Celtics watched as four players combined for 19 points, led by Marquis Daniels, who scored nine in nearly 20 minutes of action. Michael Pietrus also played nearly 20 minutes while Keyon Dooling played 17, Ryan Hollins played six and Greg Stiemsma played three.
'It was huge," said Pierce, who scored 23 in 40 minutes. "We needed a team effort. Guys on the bench, they are registered professional. Marquis hasn't really played a lot for us in this series, but when his name was called upon he was ready. That's what being a professional is all about. Every day he comes in, gets his work in. [Doc Rivers] called upon him tonight, he did a tremendous job guarding Lebron. He even contributed on the offensive end and that was huge for us. The bench was tremendous tonight. We needed everything.'
Pierce also sent a message similar to the 2004 Red Sox. The Heat have never lost a series leading 2-0. The Celtics are trying to buck the odds by winning a series down, 0-2.
'We've been able to bounce back," Pierce said. "We know we're capable. We've got to take it one game at a time. We're not going to lose confidence being down 2-0. We don't look at the statistics. We don't look at the records. Records are made to be broken. You know, usually they say being down 2-0, what happens, but we don't believe in that stuff. We're just going to take it one game at a time. Hopefully hold down our home court Game 4, and see what happens when we come back from Miami.'
Friday's win guarantees there will be a Game 5 in Miami on Tuesday. A win Sunday night will guarantee a Game 6 back in Boston next Thursday. So, how important is Game 4?
'Every game is important," Pierce said. "Definitely you want to defend your home court. You don't want to get in a situation where you go down 3-1 and then they have two games left at home. It doesn't really figure in your chances. You're not the favorite anymore. Hopefully, the crowd come back with that same energy for us in a couple days and we'll take Game 4.
'It feels good. Especially after we felt like we had a chance at Game 2-how we let it slip in our hands- so it's good to come back home and get a quality win.'
|Game 7 shootaround: Keyon Dooling returns, Avery Bradley home resting after surgery
|05.26.12 at 11:59 am ET
WALTHAM — Already without Avery Bradley, the Celtics practiced on Friday without backup guard Keyon Dooling, who was out sick. Dooling returned to the team Saturday morning for its shootaround before Game 7 with the Sixers. The team worked on half-court set as per usual with no conditioning drills. Before the shootaround, the team also watched film.
With Bradley out and Ray Allen nursing two sore ankles, Dooling figures to see more playing time in Saturday night's decisive game. In another positive sign, Greg Stiemsma took part on Saturday, a day after Doc Rivers said the backup center's feet were "feeling better." During Game 6 in Philadelphia, Rivers said that Stiemsma asked out of the game because he was in pain.
"He couldn't play in the second half the other night," Doc Rivers said on Friday. "Funny, I put him and he walks up and says, 'I can't go.' I thought he was walking up to go in. But he feels better and that's good."
Allen has two sore ankles and Paul Pierce is nursing a sprained MCL in his left knee. Both Allen and Pierce are expected to start in Game 7.
Meanwhile, Bradley is resting after surgery Friday on both shoulders, a source with direct knowledge of the situation tells WEEI.com. He was the only Celtics player not in attendance at the Saturday morning shootaround.
The source confirms that Bradley had surgery on Friday and is expecting a summer-long rehab program that could last up to four months. If all goes as expected, Bradley should be ready for training camp in October.
Bradley initially injured the rotator cuff in his left shoulder but after playing with the injury, he also injured the right shoulder to the point where it needed to be repaired as well. Bradley had the left shoulder pop out in the third quarter of Game 4 against the Sixers and missed Games 5 and 6 before deciding to have surgery on Friday, performed by team doctor Brian McKeon, so that he could be ready for training camp in October.
|Ray Allen: Game 7 'just another opportunity to go out and be who we are'
|05.25.12 at 6:08 pm ET
WALTHAM — Ever since the Celtics lost Game 7 of the 2010 NBA finals in Los Angeles, Ray Allen has been asked, in one way or another, about the last game he might play in Celtic green.
Saturday night at TD Garden is another one of those possible scenarios so naturally, he was asked whether he's given any thought to what could be his final game with the Celtics as part of the "Big Three."
"Not really, not all," Allen said before Friday's practice. "I think I've in that situation many times before where that question has been posed to me so many times. We've been so fortunate to do what we've done here. It seems like we've been ruled out so many times before, so many years before. This is just another opportunity to go out and be who we are. We're not worried about what's beyond today. We're more worried about what we have present day."
Speaking of present day, Paul Pierce was asked point blank Friday whether the team's tattered physical condition would take away from any joy over winning Game 7 since the rested and healthy Miami Heat wait in the wings Monday in the opener of the Eastern finals. Said another way, are the Celtics anything more than just a sacrificial lamb for the Heat if they prevail over Philadelphia?
"The focus is just one game right now," Pierce said. "One-game series. Win or go home. You can't look beyond that."
But the bigger picture?
"I don't think you should overlook it," Pierce insisted. "Obviously, the goal is to win the championship. You have tto stake it step by step. It's just about one game."
And the way Allen sees it, that one game against the Sixers is a game of opportunity. Read the rest of this entry »
|Paul Pierce on Game 7: 'I like our chances'
|at 5:14 pm ET
WALTHAM — If you go by Friday, the Celtics appeared to be calm, cool, collected and oh yes, confident, on the eve of their sixth Game 7 in the "Big Three" era.
The group of Paul Pierce, Greg Stiemsma and Ray Allen and assistant coach Tyronn Lue held a fun competition before Friday's practice, as all right-handed shooters shot free throws with their left hands. Interestingly, Allen was the first to bow out, as he moved on to the more mundane effort of practicing shooting before the practice began.
The captain knows what's at stake Saturday night at 8 p.m. as they take on the Sixers in Game 7 of the Eastern semifinals.
"Of course, we're at home but they've beaten us on our home court," Pierce said, referring to the 82-81 loss in Game 2. "You still have to go out and play the game but I feel good. A couple of days rest for a veteran team, much needed. I like our chances.
"I think we'll come out with a great sense of urgency. It's Game 7, there's no tomorrow. In order for us to advance, we have to give it our all. We have to give it everything we've got. We need everything from everybody, whoever steps on that court to understand that this is it, this could be the season. That's the way we have to play. We have to play like a desperate team, whether we're at home or not. The team that wants it the most is going to get it."
Overall, Pierce is 3-3 in Game 7s in his career. He lost his first in 2005 to the Pacers. Then, he won three straight, starting with wins over the Hawks and Cavaliers in 2008 on the way to his lone NBA title. Pierce led the charge over the Bulls in the first round in seven games in 2009 before falling to the Magic in a seventh game in the next round.
The most painful of all Game 7 losses, however, came the next year as the Celtics had the lead with six minutes left but couldn't hold on and lost 83-79 to the Lakers in the final game of the 2010 NBA finals. Pierce has thrived in do-or-die games for the most part, including his 43 points in the fifth and deciding game of the 2002 first round series against Philadelphia.
"I like challenges," Pierce said Friday. "I like being in pressure situations. It's Game 7. I've been there before. I understand what it takes and I'm ready for it.
"It's got to be a motivated group. What else is there? Game 7, what more could you ask for? If this is not the most important thing to you right now, then there's no other way to motivate basketball players out here. Nobody wants to end their season right now. We have a great opportunity to advance to the Eastern Conference finals on our home court. That's all the motivation we need."
|Irish Coffee: How this Celtics team fares in Game 7's
|05.24.12 at 1:03 pm ET
The last and only time Mickael Pietrus played in a Game 7, he played for the Magic and scored 17 points on 6-of-7 shooting (3-3 3P) in a 101-82 blowout of the Celtics in the Garden to win the 2009 Eastern Conference semifinals. (Our own Paul Flannery reminds us of the similarities between that series and this one.)
Keyon Dooling hasn't played in a Game 7 since 2005, when he scored six points on 3-of-6 shooting coming off the bench for the Heat in an 88-82 loss to the Pistons during the Eastern Conference finals. Greg Stiemsma, Ryan Hollins and even Brandon Bass have never played a Game 7, not that it matters much.
How the Celtics fare in Game 7 of this Eastern Conference semifinals against the 76ers depends on how well the Big Four perform. Pietrus should start for Ray Allen, but Doc Rivers probably puts this game in the hands of Allen, Rajon Rondo, Kevin Ganett and Paul Pierce. And who could blame him? After five seasons, 85 playoff games and 50 postseason victories together, they've gotten him this far.
Between them, Allen, Rondo, Garnett and Pierce have played 12 playoff games with the series up for grabs, including five as a unit since the 2008 NBA title run (Garnett's 2009 knee injury cost him two of those). They're 3-4 as individuals, and 3-2 together — the 2010 NBA finals Game 7 loss to the Lakers freshest in all their minds.
Perhaps how those four have fared in those previous 12 win-or-go-home playoff contests (Garnett, Allen and Pierce each played a Game 5 before the NBA abolished five-game, first-round series in 2003) will offer a glimpse of what to expect in their 13th and perhaps final Game 7 together, on Saturday night against the Sixers in Boston.

Tino Rossi

|Tino Rossi
|Background information
|Birth name
|Constantin Rossi
|29 April 1907
|Ajaccio, Corsica, France
|26 September 1983 (age 76)
Neuilly-sur-Seine, France
|Cabaret, French pop
|Singer, actor
|Years active
Constantin "Tino" Rossi (29 April 1907 – 26 September 1983) was a Corsican French singer and film actor.
Rossi, born in Ajaccio, Corsica, was gifted with a voice well suited for opera. He became a tenor in the French cabaret-style. Later, he appeared in various movies. During his career he recorded hundreds of songs and he appeared in more than 25 films, the most notable of which was the 1953 production, Si Versailles m'était conté directed by Sacha Guitry. His romantic ballads had especially women swooning and his art-songs by Jules Massenet (1842–1912), Reynaldo Hahn (1875–1947), and other composers, sold out theaters wherever he performed.[1]
He remains the only French singer to have sold more than 700 million records. His disc "Petit Papa Noël" alone sold 80 million copies worldwide.[2]
|This section does not cite any sources. (August 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
As a young man, Rossi played guitar and sang in many places of his hometown of Ajaccio, but later he went to perform in Marseilles and at resort clubs along the French Riviera. In the early 1930s he went to Paris and within a few years achieved enormous success, joining a Columbia Records roster that included the biggest stars of the day such as Lucienne Boyer, Damia, Pills et Tabet, Mireille, and Jean Sablon.
Rossi's success was greatly aided by songwriter Vincent Scotto (1876–1952), who wrote his first hits and collaborated with him for many years, composing and arranging many of Rossi's songs. Prior to World War II, Rossi was a major box office attraction in the French speaking world, and expanded his audience 1938 to North America and Canada during a first visit there. Rossi began his film career with a role in Les Nuits Moscovites (1934); his first real success came with Marinella (1936).
During the Occupation of France by Nazi Germany Rossi's film career reached its peak, notably with Mon amour est près de toi (1943) and L'Île d'amour (1944). After the Liberation, the French authorities reproached him for associating with the French Gestapo (Etienne Leandri, a French Gestapo agent, was a close friend of his), but later accused Rossi of actively supporting collaborationist causes such as the LVF (Légion des Volontaires Français), which organization recruited French volunteers for the German Wehrmacht.
Following a trial in 1945, his sentence was relatively light. Unlike his fellow entertainers Arletty, Mireille Balin, Josseline Gaël and Robert Le Vigan, Rossi received only a symbolic work suspension. He subsequently appeared only sporadically in films, concentrating on his career as a singer.
In 1946 his song "Petit Papa Noël" sold more than thirty million copies worldwide. A Christmas classic for the family, the song still sells by the thousands each December. The recipient of many musical awards, including the prestigious Grand Prix du Disque, Rossi is the most popular personality to ever come from Corsica other than Napoleon Bonaparte.
Personal life[edit]
In 1947 Tino Rossi married Lilia Vetti, a young dancer he had met while making a film. They had one son and remained married to each other until his death. In 1982 President François Mitterrand named Rossi a Commander of the Legion of Honor for his contributions to French culture. That same year Rossi gave his last public performance at the Casino de Paris, a show that popular demand turned into a three-month stint.[citation needed]
Rossi died of pancreatic cancer in 1983 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. His body was transported to Ajaccio for burial in the family grave. His wife died in 2003 aged 79. Ajaccio named a street and the sailing harbor in his honor and in Nogent-sur-Marne, there is a square named Tino Rossi Square. Tino Rossi's unique status on Corsica is reflected in several (somewhat hidden) references to him in the comic book "Asterix in Corsica" by Uderzo and Goscinny.[citation needed]

Welcome to Manifesting Master!
So called "new age" spirituality is a very hot topic these days. There is much talk about the law of attraction and how to utilize it.
However there are many core errors that I think people make when it comes to manifesting desires in their life … they are:
- They talk about getting the law of attraction to work, yet it's working all the time.
- There is no positive or negative when it comes to the universe, it's all just the movement of energy.
- With the above said … the universe is not judging your desires … that is simply your belief system at work.
- That there is only one correct way to manifest what you desire. When it all comes down to what FEELS right in the individual.
Take love for example:
Many people either desire to manifest an ex back, or attempt to attract a specific person into their life.
Yet when they look for ways to do that, there own limiting beliefs are often reflected back to them in the form of other people!
For example they will be told that it is wrong to use the law of attraction to attract a specific person, or that it's very wrong to try and manifest your ex back.
When instead they should use the motivation and natural desires of their mind (exactly what the mind is designed to do), and start out trying to manifest their specific desires, and seeing where that road takes them.
It is all about keeping an open mind, and being fearless to the outcome … that is what truly spiritual living is all about!
Take this video discussion on using the law of attraction to get your ex back.
Adam beautifully points out that your minds desires are natural. So are there fears. But you need to use the motivation to move forward an improve your life in order to manifest any form of love back into your life.
How About Wealth?
We are getting a bit deep into things now, when in fact we will have sections of this website dealing with each and every area of your life when it comes to manifesting.
But lets keep going and briefly touch on something that motivates a lot of people into learning about the law of attraction.
Money and wealth!
You know what the biggest stumbling block most people encounter when it comes to manifesting wealth? … there own beliefs!
Guess what, most people have been conditioned to believe that its bad to want money, or wealth … or when they start living a more "spiritual" life, material things like money and possessions are bad!
Life is just an expression and expansion of energy, to purely understand "itself!" … but we are getting down the rabbit hole now … we will save that for later.
Any way, welcome to the website! Stick around, as we will be getting deeper and deeper into everything metaphysical that you can think of!

Industry Insights
Global image sensor market size was estimated at USD 8.81 billion in 2013. Technology advancements such as the development of Backside illumination CMOS (BSI) are anticipated to drive industry growth. These sensing devices are designed to overcome natural light degradation and quality that occur as pixel sizes decrease. They help to provide high sensitivity for sharp, low-light pictures, and high-speed video recording and enable to benefit from the trend of smaller and slimmer designs.
The chip is turned upside down with the light falling on the backside to reduce light loss. These result in increased light sensitivity and reduced noise recorded on the picture. In the full visible light spectrum, their efficiency is fairly constant between 75% and 88%.
CMOS technology enables better quality pictures as compared to Charge Coupled Device (CCD) technology. The cost of manufacturing these devices is also lower than other technologies; this is expected to provide positive avenues to its volume demand.

Aspire Mining Ltd (ASX:AKM) is an exploration and development company focused on discovering and developing world class premium coal deposits in Mongolia. Its Northern Railways subsidiary is developing the Erdenet to Ovoot rail project.
Aspire Mining (ASX: AKM) has snared a major deal with Asia's Noble Group (SGX: N21) that will provide additional significant support for the development of Ovoot Coking Coal Project's development.
Noble and Aspire have extended their strategic alliance, first entered into in November 2011, which will deliver several port and rail solutions for the Mongolian project including potential access to Noble's recently acquired Russian Far East Port.
Access to seaborne markets is a key part of Aspire's development strategy for its world class Ovoot Project, and importantly there is a path for Mongolian coking coal through Russia now.
Currently Mongolian coking coal is largely being sold to Chinese steel producers and it is a key part of Mongolian development policy to establish access to seaborne markets for Mongolian coal, to provide pricing tension with Chinese customers and establish seaborne price benchmarks for Mongolian coking coal.
David Paull, managing director of Aspire Mining, told Proactive Investors today the deal represents a broad range of support from a significant shareholder who is in the business of logistics and coal marketing and trading, and who operates in Russia, Mongolia and China in coal and iron ore.
The revised arrangements with Noble will facilitate Noble's provision of additional supply chain management services to Aspire.
It will also provide potential access to Noble's Russian Far East Port, while retaining Noble's overall obligation to assist Aspire to identify potential logistics partners to deliver coal to customers and identifying viable logistics paths.
Paull said: "This package of initiatives demonstrates the company's excellent working relationship with the Noble Group as well as Noble's commitment to the successful development of the Ovoot Coking Coal Project."
Key terms of alliance
Under the extended strategic alliance, Noble has agreed to:
- Provide underlying supply chain management services on normal commercial terms;
- A mechanism to provide access to its recently acquired Russian Far East Port on normal commercial terms;
- Provide additional marketing support to the Ovoot Project by way of Noble acquiring marketing rights over an additional 10% of all coal produced at the Ovoot Project for 20 years on normal commercial terms.
This additional support follows Noble's previously agreed right to market a minimum of 50% of coking coal produced by the Ovoot Project until it produces its first 5 million tonnes;
- Commit to funding 10% of the pre-development capital for Northern Railways LLC in return for an option to acquire 10% of the issued capital of Northern Railways (Aspire's rail infrastructure subsidiary);
- In the event that Northern Railways secures a rail concession and Noble exercises the above option to acquire 10% of the issued capital of Northern Railways, Noble has agreed to assist in developing Northern Railway's rail financing plan.
This includes introductions to strategic infrastructure partners as well as considering opportunities to connect this new rail infrastructure to various railway lines in Mongolia, China and Russia together with identifying potential logistics partners in those places;
- An option to fund 10% of the development capital in Northern Railways to build the Erdenet to Ovoot railway and should it do so, together with a number of other circumstances, it will acquire an additional 10% marketing rights over all Ovoot Project coking coal on normal commercial terms for the same 20 year period referred to above;
- Provide a two year US$5 million unsecured loan to assist with rail predevelopment expenditures;
- Commit to a placement of 35 million shares at A$0.08 each to increase Noble's shareholding in Aspire from 10.1% to 14.9%, raising A$2.8 million;
- To enter into good faith negotiations regarding the provision of a further working capital debt facility to support a 75,000 tonne per month initial mining operation at the Ovoot Project; and
- Appoint a Noble representative to the Aspire Board.
Northern Railways
Aspire and certain subsidiaries, including its Mongolian rail subsidiary Northern Railways, has entered into a number of agreements with Noble to support the development of Northern Railways multiuser Erdenet to Ovoot rail line and the development of the Ovoot Project.
Northern Railways previously completed a Rail Pre-Feasibility Study in relation to the Northern Rail Line in February 2012.
Subsequently a potentially superior rail alignment running about 50 kilometres to the south of Moron was identified which is now the subject of a Pre-Feasibility Study revision being undertaken by SMEC International.
The revision, expected to be completed in the March quarter, will look at providing operating and capital costs for a phased construction and capacity upgrade investments.
Under the strategic alliance, Noble has agreed to support the Northern Railways application for a rail concession to extend the existing Trans-Mongolian rail line from Erdenet to the Ovoot Project.
The ongoing strategic alliance with the Noble Group is a "game changing" deal for Aspire, and recognises the vast scale of the company's Ovoot Project and profit potential.
The additional support will provide key rail and port solutions for the supply of coking coal to the high value seaborne market.
The backing of Asia's largest diversified commodities trading company ensures Aspire is back on track to meet its end goal of developing seaborne markets for its Mongolian coking coal.
Recently, a revised Pre-Feasibility Study showed the Ovoot Coking Coal Project in Mongolia could become one of the lowest cost producers of coal into China. Life of mine ex mine gate cost is estimated at $36 per product tonne of quality coking coal.
To have one of the potentially lowest cost sources of coal into China (Free On Rail costs) for quality coking coal into China, (at around $91 per tonne), which is the world's largest consumer of coking coal, is a significant selling point for financiers and a filip to project development - which Noble Group is a significant equity and project participant.
Ovoot ranks as the second highest coking coal reserve in Mongolia. It also ranks in the middle of Tier 1 coking coal assets based on reserves and marketable coal. With a 96-97% vitrinite content it identifies Ovoot as one of the highest value in-situ coal deposits globally.
In November 2012 when the Aspire share price was $0.07, Proactive Investors said, "we believe the quality of the Ovoot asset plus the global significance of the project and increase in value added for the Ovoot project is nowhere near reflected in the Aspire Mining market valuation."
Further, that "Proactive Investors believes that the market cap of Aspire Mining and share price is significantly undervalued at present and should be trading at closer to $0.16-$0.20 within the next 6-12 months".
Proactive Investors Australia is the market leader in producing news, articles and research reports on ASX "Small and Mid-cap" stocks with distribution in Australia, UK, North America and Hong Kong / China.
