Dear statalister,
I would like to calculate the percentage of families having an
income that lies below a certain percentage below the median
income, let's say the 20% of the median income. Is there any
command in Stata that performs this kind of calculus?
Thank you

JS Form with validation
Form validation having had a number of responses to my initial request for a template for a simple client-side JavaScript form with basic field validation it seems that this simple request is far from simple .so, collating all of the not-so-simple comments that I have had heres a revised request
Is there anywhere that I can find a template JS script that will provide me with a form that has the most basic of fields on it first name, surname, telephone .e-mail etc that comes with field validation ?
The users will predominantly have hotmail, yahoo etc e-mail addresses
Not all of them will have IE web browsers
Not all of them will have Outlook Express as their mail client
The form fields MUST BE VALIDATED ON THE CLIENT-SIDE as there is no server-sideaccess and the site that the form is then be posted to will only accept validated field data.
Or would it be simpler for someone to provide me with plans for a engine that would provide light-speed .?

Product FAQ
What's the difference between MC1061/P3 and TOP10/P3, and how would I choose one or the other for my supF selection (for example: using pcDNA™1 or pcDNA™1.1)?
MC1061/P3 is the strain that was historically used for most supF selection applications. It is referenced by Brian Seed in his library construction paper.
For library transformations, we do still recommend MC1061/P3 because of its slightly higher transformation efficiency when transforming pcDNA™1.1. However, for propagating plasmid for transfection, we strongly recommend using the TOP10/P3 instead, which is endA- and yields much cleaner plasmid DNA in purification. DNA prepared from MC1061 cells is typically not suitable for transfection.

Product FAQ
When examining mini-prep DNA isolated from MC1061/P3, there is a smear extending from high molecular weight to ~5 kb instead of an apparent band at or near where the vector should be. What causes this?
The smear is expected when doing DNA preps in MC1061/P3 because the cells do not carry the endA- mutation. To prevent DNA degradation by endonuclease in plasmid preparations from these cells, an alkaline lysis procedure (i.e. Solutions I,II,III) which contains a phenol:chloroform step that destroys endogenous endonucleases should be used. Many commercially available DNA miniprep kits do not accomplish this efficiently, and boiling the DNA solution after isolation is not effective.
For best DNA preparation results with supF-selection plasmids, we highly recommend the TOP10/P3 One Shot™ cells (catalog number C5050-03). This strain yields higher quality and quantity of plasmid DNA due to the presence of both recA- and endA- mutations. For plasmids with antibiotic selection markers rather than supF selection, use one of the more common strains like TOP10, DH5a™ or DH10B™.

Product FAQ
What is the mechanism for supF selection in E. coli carrying the P3 plasmid? And what is meant by the "amber" notation in the genotype - are these cells resistant to tetracycline and ampicillin?
E. coli harboring the plasmid P3 enable the selection and maintenance of plasmids that encode the tRNA suppressor F gene (supF). P3, a low-copy 60 kb episomal plasmid, encodes the kanamycin resistance gene as well as amber mutants of the tetracyline and ampicillin resistance genes. The amber mutations are point mutations in the resistance markers which inactivate the expression of resistance in the strain unless the tRNA supressor F (supF) is present. Therefore, strains that harbor P3 alone are resistant to kanamycin, but sensitive to both tetracycline and ampicillin. But when the E. coli carrying the P3 plasmid are transformed with supF-containing plasmids (e.g. pcDNA™1 and pCDM8), they are rendered resistant to both tetracycline and ampicillin (as well as kanamycin) by suppression of the amber mutations.
The rate of spontaneous reversion of the amber point mutations on the P3 episome is fairly high, so it is important to select supF clones with both tetracycline and ampicillin resistance to reduce background growth. To avoid enriching for revertants, it is recommended that relatively low concentrations of tetracycline (7.5 to 10 ug/ml) and ampicillin (25 to 40 ug/ml) be used.

Product FAQ
How large is the P3 plasmid in the MC1061/P3 or TOP10/P3 cells, and is it isolated with other plasmids in standard preps?
The P3 plasmid is approximately 60 kb and usually is present at only 1 or 2 copies per cell. It is similar in properties to the F' episome. It can be recovered along with your vector of interest in a plasmid prep and might be detectable on a gel. The very large plasmid would be seen high on the gel near the wells.

Sorry, I didn't mean to compare against previous rel of this style but rather the previous gamedev. The concept I'm trying to point out is related to x-dimensions of characters.
The light skin text was recently condensed in line spacing... doesn't seem to affect the dark theme yet/currently
Relevant Post
For example, OpenOffice writer has a property in a "Character" tab allowing to scale the glyphs in the x dimension... something like that. Is the new font more compact? I'm not even sure. I guess it's just me.
Nah... it's ok in my opinion. Even darker would be ok for me but in case bg isn't made darker, I would appreciate some extra brightness on text it still seems to be a bit low on contrast for me.
Much appreciated, a lot easier on the eyes... but maybe it's a bit to dark?
As for the light themes, although I cannot see the individual sub-pixels, I often perceive high-luminance areas to be "not smooth" (I can see the pixel grid relatively easy)... LCD kinda sucks and I suppose I'm pretty high in sensitivity so +1 for black!
Anyway, is the text color light blue? It appears to be. I think it is. Maybe I'll annoy someone but I think it needs more contrast.
By the way, can we have justified text?
No this is not true, I don't believe this for a minute. It cannot be real. It is not real. (Joke intended)
A few other observations on color, garnered from slaving away for years in front of a machine doing color correction:
- Caffeine will dull your sense of color.

Writing in UK newspaper The Observer, British comedian Steve Coogan says Top Gear's offensive stereotyping has gone too far.
I am a huge fan of Top Gear. I normally regard the presenters' brand of irreverence as a part of the rough and tumble that goes with having a sense of humour.
I've been on the show three times and had a go at their celebrity-lap challenge, and I would love to receive a fourth invite.
But I think that's unlikely once they read this. If, however, it makes the lads question their behaviour for a second - ambitious, I know - it will be worth it.
I normally remain below the parapet when these frenetic arguments about comedy and taste break out. But this time, I've had enough of the regular defence you tend to hear - the tired line that it's "just a laugh", a bit of "harmless fun".
OK guys, I've got some great ideas for your next show. Jeremy, why not have James describe some kosher food as looking like "sick with cheese on it"?
No? Thought not. Even better, why not describe some Islamic fundamentalists as lazy and feckless?
Feel the silence. They're all pretty well organised these days, aren't they, those groups? Better stick to those that are least problematic.
Old people? Special needs? I know - Mexicans! There aren't enough of them to be troublesome, no celebrities to be upset. And most of them are miles and miles away.
The BBC's initial mealy-mouthed apology was pitiful. It cited the more benign rivalry that exists between European nations (ah, those arrogant French, over-organised Germans), and in doing so neatly sidestepped one hugely important fact - ethnicity.
All the examples it uses to legitimise this hateful rubbish are relatively prosperous countries full of white people. How about if the lads had described Africans as lazy, feckless etc? Or Pakistanis?
What's more, this was all spouted by the presenters on one of the BBC's most successful programmes. Forget the World Service; overseas, Top Gear is more frequently the public face of the BBC. The Beeb's hand-wringing suggested tolerance of casual racism, arguably the most sinister kind.
Besides, there is not a shred of truth in Top Gear's "comic" stereotype. I can tell you from living in the US that Mexicans work themselves to the bone doing all the dirty thankless jobs the white middle class won't do.
What makes it worse is that the lads wear this offensive behaviour as a badge of pride, pleased they have annoyed those whom they regard, in another lazy stereotype, as sandal-wearing vegans with beards and no sense of humour.
Well, here's some Twitter hot news: I don't have a beard, I'm not a vegan, I don't wear sandals (unless they're Birkenstocks, of course), and I have, I think, a sense of humour.
I also figure I know something about comedy. It's true there are no hard and fast rules; it's often down to judgment calls. It's safe to say, though, that you can get away with saying unsayable things if it's done with some sense of culpability.
I've been fortunate enough to work with the likes of Peter Baynham, Armando Iannucci, Chris Morris, Simon Pegg, Julia Davis, Caroline Aherne, Ruth Jones and the Mighty Boosh - some of the funniest and most innovative people in British comedy. And Rob Brydon too.
It's a diverse, eclectic group with one common denominator: they could all defend and justify their comedy from a moral standpoint.
They are laughing at hypocrisy, human frailty, narrow-mindedness. They mock pomposity and arrogance.
If I say anything remotely racist or sexist as Alan Partridge, for example, the joke is abundantly clear. We are laughing at a lack of judgment and ignorance. With Top Gear it is three rich, middle-aged men laughing at poor Mexicans.There is a strong ethical dimension to the best comedy. Not only does it avoid reinforcing prejudices, it actively challenges them. In comedy, as in life, we ought to think before we speak.
If I can borrow from the Wildean wit of Richard Hammond, the comic approach was "lazy", "feckless" and "flatulent". Richard has his tongue so far down the back of Jeremy's trousers he could forge a career as the back end of a pantomime horse. His attempt to foster some Clarkson-like maverick status with his "edgy" humour is tragic. He reminds you of the squirt at school as he hangs around Clarkson the bully, as if to say, "I'm with him". Meanwhile, James May holds their coats as they beat up the boy with the stutter.
Some of the blame must lie with what some like to call the "postmodern" reaction to over zealous political correctness. Sometimes, it's true, things need a shakeup; orthodoxies need to be challenged. But this sort of ironic approach has been a licence for any halfwit to vent the prejudices they'd been keeping in the closet since Love Thy Neighbour.
Archaic attitudes are endemic in a lot of motoring journalism. I confess I am an avid consumer and wade through a sea of lazy cliches to get to anything genuinely illuminating.
Jeremy unwittingly cast the template for this. Twenty years ago, when I bought Performance Car magazine, his column was the first I would turn to. It was slightly annoying but unfailingly funny. Since then there have been legions of pretenders who just don't pass muster.
There is a kneejerk, brainless reaction to any legislation that may have a detrimental effect on their God-given right to drive cars anywhere at any speed they consider safe. They often remind me of the US National Rifle Association who, I'm sure we can all agree, are a bunch of nutters. It's a kind of "airbags are for poofs" mentality and, far from being shocking, it's just shockingly dull.
It would be fine if it was confined to grumpy men in bad jeans smoking Marlboros at the side of the Millbrook test track, but it's not. As I pointed out, it's the voice of one of the BBC's most successful programmes.
The lads have this strange notion that if they are being offensive it bestows on them a kind of anti-establishment aura of coolness; in fact, like their leather jackets and jeans, it is uber-conservative (which, I'd suggest, is not very cool).
Gentlemen, I don't believe in half-criticisms and this has nothing to do with my slow lap times. But, increasingly, you each look like a middle-aged punk rocker pogo-ing at his niece's wedding. That would be funny if you weren't regarded by some people as role models.
Big viewing figures don't give you impunity - they carry responsibility. Start showing some, tuck your shirts in, be a bit funnier and we'll pretend it all never happened.
* Mexican cars are just going to be lazy, feckless, flatulent, overweight, leaning against a fence asleep looking at a cactus, with a blanket with a hole in the middle on as a coat. - Richard Hammond.
* Mexican food is "sick with cheese on it". - James May.
* "That's why we won't get any complaints about this because at the Mexican Embassy, the ambassador's going to be sitting there with a remote control like this". - Jeremy Clarkson, who then slumped in his chair and faked a snore.

I am planning to travel to Costa Rica for a tummy tuck,face lift, back lipo. I cannot afford the US price, but am desperate for a younger look, have you heard of or recommend Dr. Rodrigo Araya, CIMA. Pls relay feedback.
Tummy Tuck,face Lift, Back Lipo in Costa Rica
Doctor Answers 13
Tummy tuck
I'm going to keep this simple: don't do it. Surgery in another country is always a bad idea. Sure, you might "luck out," and ebverything may go well. But what if it doesn't? What if you have a major problem during surgery? What if you have a minor problem afterwards? What if you just have a question druing normal healing and your surgeon is 3000 miles away? I've seen too many patients come to me after surgery outside this country with problems. It's simply not worth the risk.
Medical Tourism: do your homework
Can you afford a complication that may keep you there for several weeks? I would suggest you do a search on medical tourism. I did this for you. Please read from realself (link pasted below):
"Hello Kelowna! I'm originally from Vancouver.. I had an eye/neck/face lift done in Costa Rica almost 3 months ago. Am fairly happy with results... but I am so very sorry to hear about your problems there. While I was recouperating at a ranch in CRica, I met 3 women who had breast augmentation and they have all had severe problems, one just had her breast removed. One of the others is on a machine to fight infection and hoping the gaping hole heals up. The other one is considering going back to her surgeon to have the problems solved. (these 2 women used Dr. Araya) I"m not attempting to blacklist anyone since it wasn't me having the surgery, but some of the docs and recovery places need to be more attentive to their patients problems before their return to the US. Have you found anyone who can help you out in either Canada or the US? I'm attempting to find someone who will take on these women at a greatly reduced cost as we write. Charlene

Desperation will cost you
This is a foolish idea and you are being impatient. For sure, you can save the money and find a reasonable US plastic surgeon (maybe a young one) who will do much better for you that whoever in Costa Rica. You are being very shortsited and you are playing with fire with your health and life!

Not a good idea
If you can not able to afford a aboard certified plastic surgeon to do your surgery,you better off to go to a training program in US. The doctors in training will provide you a good care . The problem with over sea surgery is the anesthesia and after care. Please do not look at price only ..
Tummy Tuck,face Lift, Back Lipo in Costa Rica
Have you read the previous posters comments? I totally agree! In fact I just saw a younger female patient from DR surgery. She had a full TT + lipo and was told to fly back to USA after ONLY 4 days recovery. Drains still in, no pain RX. She arrived at Miami International airport, feverish, draining large amounts of serosanginous fluids, in pain, and crying with her in laws. She was taken to ER at local hospital where after 10 calls to junior staff PS I was called, as a senior staff PS, for care.. I admitted her to hospital obtained ID consult, heme consult, pulmonary consult. She was anemic, infected, etc. Her hospital bill was over $10K and my fee was $1K. She paid $6K to this medical Tourism company. I ask you was it worth it? From MIAMI Dr. Darryl j. Blinski
Be careful about surgery abroad
I have not heard your surgeon's name. More importantly that is a lot of surgery to do at one time. I have seen several patients present to our local ERs with serious infections from surgery abroad and a few had to have surgery to correct the problem. Overall the cost ended being much more and besides there is no price to high for safety and peace of mind.
Web reference: http://www.tarrantplasticsurgery.com
Cometic Tourism
That is way too much at once for one surgical trip. It is a third world country. Why should we hear of that doctor?
Go down, and make these plans. Either elaborate funeral arrangements, because after all you will look youthful, and you will have saved enough money.
Or, establish a working relationship with a US plastic surgeon to care for the complications/post op care. Hopefully, it won't be that bad.
Caveat Emptor.
You get what you pay for
You can make more money, you can't make another you.
Enough said.
Cost of tummy tuck
Frequently people leave the country to obtain cheaper surgical services. The quality of the surgeon is only on consideration for your tummy tuck. Abdominoplasty is a complex operation and followup care is extensive and long term. Liability issues can be very tricky if you should have a serious complication. Sometimes penny wise is pound foolish.
International Surgery Can Be Risky
There are reasons why procedures are less costly in other countries. There are fewer controls over qualifications, facilities, etc.. Even if you find a well-qualified practioner, there is always a chance for complications. If you do suffer a complication, it will be difficult to find a surgeon in the US willing to take over your care. Remember that "you get what you pay for".
Medical tourism
No, I have not heard of this surgeon. Be careful, because having surgery in one location and then going home can be tough. Also, if you have complications, who will take care of you and will appreciate exactly what was done in surgery.

We drove directly to the top of the mountain on which the old city (citta) rests. The Citta has a spectacular view in all directions. Towards the East you can see the Adriatic and 40-50 miles North or South. The old town has three towers of which two are part of a larger fortifications. We checked out tower one in the fort ...

We rode about two hours and came to the Adriatic. We found it difficult to get out to the water as beachfront restaurants were all closed and sand was piled quite high creating a break water.

Green Screen
What we are trying to do with this event is to get the people who dont like to think too much about the environmental issues, says Joe Brown of the Colorado Environmental Film Festival. I think films are more palatable than lectures and books, and maybe people would consider coming to see a film on an important issue, like pollution or global warming, and this could be a start for their environmental awareness.
Featuring international and national films, such as director Stephanie Soechtigs Tapped, which documents the unregulated bottled-water industry, the three-day lineup also includes the work of numerous Colorado filmmakers. Christopher Faucheres The Great Squeeze, for instance, looks at modern civilizations dependence on fossil fuels, as well as past civilizations that have grown too fast, depleting their natural resources and ultimately collapsing.
Celebrating the natural world and raising environmental awareness without insane environmentalism is the goal of the festival, Brown says.
The film fest takes place November 5-7 at the American Mountaineering Center, 710 Tenth Street in Golden. To view a copy of the program or buy tickets, go to www.ceff.net or visit the Downtown Denver or Boulder REI stores.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
The animals in BARC's care receive quality food, shelter, and medical attention. BARC meets the needs of the animals through the assistance of dedicated volunteers, revenues generated from the success of our onsite SHOP, BQE Pet Supply, and from private donations.
Established in 1987, BARC is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, no-kill, privately funded animal shelter, located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Adoption Hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 12pm - 4pm
We are closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

It's Good Those Pesky Infinity Stones Won't Be in Guardians of the Galaxy 2
We all have a love/hate (mostly hate) relationship with the Infinity Stones, Marvel's favorite magical McGuffin. So, will they make a cameo in the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie? Director James Gunn addressed it, plain and simple, on Facebook Saturday.

Tennessee also has a big-play guy at linebacker. Rico McCoy recorded 4.5 tackles for loss, 5 pass breakups, an interception and a quarterback hurry as a sophomore last fall.
The big-play specialist up front is senior end Robert Ayers, who tied Berry for the team lead a year ago with 14. And he appears to be picking up in 2008 where he left off in '07.
On the fourth snap of last Saturday's full-scale scrimmage, Ayers stripped Montario Hardesty of the ball, then recovered it himself. That produced two big plays on a single snap – a fumble forced AND a fumble recovered.
Six plays later Ayers was at it again. He hit Jonathan Crompton just as the No. 1 quarterback was unloading a pass. A quick whistle gave Ayers credit for a sack but his hit would've been even bigger without the quick whistle, since Crompton's hurried pass wound up being intercepted by Morley.
Despite recording three big plays in the scrimmage's first 10 snaps, however, Ayers shrugged off his sterling start.
"The offense came out and they were moving the ball on us a little bit in the beginning," he said matter of factly. "I was just got lucky and stripped the ball out a little bit."
Ayers seems to get "lucky" a lot, based on the fact he shared the team lead in big plays last fall, even though he was stuck behind seniors Xavier Mitchell and Antonio Reynolds and didn't start a single game.
"I just try to be a leader," Ayers explained. "If I play hard, play assignments first and hustle to the ball, I feel like big plays will happen. Chief (defensive coordinator John Chavis) does a good job of getting us in great position to make plays, so I just try to hustle and be around the ball. Hopefully, big plays will happen."
Ayers wasn't the only Vol making big plays last Saturday. Linebacker Nevin McKenzie recorded two sacks. Tackle Donald Langley registered two minus-yardage stops. Tackle Victor Thomas had a tackle for loss and a sack. Cornerback DeAngelo Willingham registered a minus-yardage stop and two pass breakups. Linebacker Ellix Wilson recorded a minus-yardage tackle, as well.
Best of all, Tennessee's defense caused a couple of drive-killing turnovers – Ayers forcing and recovering a fumble, Morley recording two interceptions (although one was negated by the quick whistle).
"We pride ourselves on making turnovers," Ayers said, "and I think we did a good job of that."
At 6-3 and 270 pounds, Ayers is big enough to play some tackle in a pinch. That pinch may be at hand, since Tennessee's depth at tackle has been eroded by junior Chase Nelson's season-ending knee injury. Ayers figures the Vols have plenty of tackles capable of filling that void, however.
"Chase is a guy Coach was counting on contributing," the senior end noted. "He knows we're going to play for him, we're going to support him. That just means somebody else has to step up – like Langley or Andre Mathis. Now those guys have to step up more than before because that's one person we were counting on."

Occupiers Defying Orders to Leave
It's thrilling to hear that 3,000 people showed up to defend Occupy LA against the city's plan to shut it. And, in Philly, people are also defying the city. From CBS News: Occupy L.A. Defies Vacate Order From OccupyWallSt.org:
Even as hundreds of police gathered around City Hall, Occupy Los Angeles continued to peacefully assemble in impressive numbers in Solidarity Park (formerly City Hall Park) throughout the night. Accounts put the crowd at over 2,000.
Early this morning, LAPD moved in to evict the encampment. Around 5am PST, police armed with batons and riot gear ordered the nonviolent Occupiers to disperse from the street or face violent arrest. The crowd responded by asking LAPD to lay down their weapons and join them. At least four arrests were made, before the police backed down.
Step back and think of all the public events that occur in major cities -- from parades to ball games -- and there is no problem. But 200 people sleep in a private park in downtown NYC, and it's somehow intolerable and dangerous.
It's the message that's dangerous... to the status quo. Occupying public space doesn't conform with the privatization of literally everything in this country. Questioning goverment police and private amassing of wealth by the 1% (or whatever relatively small percent they make up) is dangerous, when you're doing it in the streets, and you don't go home.
CHEERS! Here's one person who gets that: Miley Cyrus, 19 year old star to young girls everywhere. Her rebellious anthem "Liberty Walk" was just re-issued over a video montage of global Occupy protests. The opening text: "This is dedicated to the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in ..."
Some lyrics:
It's a liberty walk, walk
Saying goodbye to the people who tied you up
It's a liberty walk, walk
Feeling your heart again, breathing new oxygen
It's a liberty walk, walk
Read more, and watch it right away! Here is some feel GOOD culture. Trust me on that.

Ghost Town
- VIDEO: Ghost Town trailer
THE humour of Ricky Gervais is so rooted in British forms of status anxiety that he seems an improbable choice to star in a Hollywood romantic comedy such as Ghost Town. Still, no one could look more convincingly uncomfortable in the role of Dr Bertram Pincus, a pompous New York dentist with a loathing for the human race. Bertram is forced to mend his anti-social ways when he finds himself haunted by a horde of ghosts, including the suave Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear), who remains concerned for the future of his kooky Egyptologist wife (Tea Leoni).
Writer-director David Koepp is almost too careful a craftsman for his own good, but Gervais and Leoni share a talent for throwing the audience off-balance: Gervais can never resist exploiting prejudice for laughs, while Leoni's reactions are giddy and unpredictable in the best screwball tradition.

Today we have a much lesser known work in our presentation of books about the Green Bay Packers. Carroll Dale Scores Again! is about the life (up to that point) of the Packers' All-Pro WR in the Lombardi Era, with an emphasis on his Christian faith. It even boasts a Forward written by Coach Lombardi himself.
Carroll Dale with one of his award footballs.
An unfamiliar sight — Dale with the Los Angeles Rams, where he played from 1960-64 before he was traded to Green Bay. He played for the Packers from 1965-72, and finished his career with one season in Minnesota.
Dale was honored with this sign outside Wise, Virginia, his hometown, in the 1960s.
A more familiar sight to Packer fans — Dale makes a catch in the green and gold against the Bears.
The back cover.
Carroll Dale today in his role as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Athletic Development at the University of Virginia-Wise.
Lastly, here's an article about his book that we found in the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1969.

Irish Coffee: Celtics' Top 10 NBA All-Star performances
|02.04.11 at 1:14 pm ET
Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
In honor of four Celtics — Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen — all making the NBA All-Star Game, I give you the top-five NBA All-Star Weekend performances by the current Celtics …
5. PAUL PIERCE sunk all five money balls in the final round of the 2010 NBA 3-Point Shootout. Neither Stephen Curry or Chauncy Billups could match Pierce, and the Celtics captain took home the title.
4. SHAQUILLE O'NEAL (as a member of the Lakers) recorded 24 points, 11 rebounds and two blocks to lead the West to a 136-132 win over the East and capture 2004 NBA All-Star Game MVP honors. Also the 2000 and 2009 All-Star Game MVP, O'Neal announced in his postgame interview, "Can you dig it?"
3. RAY ALLEN (as a member of the Bucks) outdueled Peja Stojakovic for the 2001 NBA 3-Point Shootout championship. Entering the final rack, Allen needed to make 3-of-5 to tie. He made four.
2. NATE ROBINSON (as a member of the Knicks) won his second of a record three NBA Slam Dunk contests in 2009, defeating Dwight Howard by leaping over the 6-foot-11 Magic center in the finals.
1. KEVIN GARNETT (as a member of the Timberwolves) outperformed Michael Jordan in the Bulls legend's final NBA All-Star Game in 2003. Amassing the most points in an All-Star contest since Jordan's 40 in 1988, Garnett totaled 37 points, nine rebounds, five steals and three assists to lead the West to a 155-145 double-overtime victory against the East, capturing MVP honors in the process.
"The All-Star Game is not about individual," said Garnett. "It's totally a group effort. It's a time for you to share stories, good times, emotional times with your teammates."
Given the Celtics' storied history in NBA All-Star Games ever since Ed Macauley captured MVP honors with 20 points and six rebounds in the league's first-ever All-Star competition, I'd be remiss if I didn't also provide the top-five All-Star Weekend performances by former Celtics …
5. BOB COUSY produced 20 points, nine rebounds and five assists to lead the East to a 100-91 victory in the 1955 NBA All-Star Game, and he didn't even win MVP (as he did in 1954 and 1957). That honor went to Celtics teammate Bill Sharman, who finished with just 15 points, four rebounds and two assists.
4. LARRY BIRD had three great NBA All-Star Game performances, leading the East victory each time. In 1986, he totaled 23 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Three years earlier, in 1983, he registered 14 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists. But his best performance came in 1982, as he scored 15 of his 19 points in the final 6:30 to hand the East a 120-118 win; he also amassed 12 rebounds and five assists.
3. DEE BROWN captured the 1991 Slam Dunk Contest over Shawn Kemp by leaping with his pumped-up Reeboks from just inside the foul line, placing his left arm over his eyes and throwing it down with this right. Brown and 2007 slam dunk champion Gerald Green are the only guys to win the event as Celtics.
2. BILL RUSSELL had four monster NBA All-Star Games from 1961-65, yet only took home one MVP honor, in 1963. In his brightest All-Star Game performance, he dropped 19 points, 24 rebounds and five assists on Wilt Chamberlain and the West, leading the East to a 115-108 victory in 1963.
1. LARRY BIRD snapped a 15-all tie with Dale Ellis on the final shot of the last round to capture his third consecutive 3-Point Shootout title in 1998. Still donning his warmup jacket, Bird buried his final three shots, raising his index finger in the air even before the winning shot fell through the net.
While the Suns kept relatively quiet following their victory over the Celtics last week — which included Kevin Garnett's infamous low blow on Channing Frye — but Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry more than opened up about the incident during a weekly radio appearance with an Arizona radio station.
Here's The Arizona Republic's transcription of Gentry's conversation:
"I used to be a big fan of his. I think some of the antics he's pulled lately, you don't need to do that as a star player. I've never seen Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant or even a Dwyane Wade do that. You can compete and play hard. That doesn't need to be part of it. It really doesn't. To do that to someone, you can seriously hurt him.
"You know the fact that, all of a sudden, Channing comes down twice on jump shots, that's a very dangerous play. So if you're asking me, yeah, I lost a little respect for him. I love his competitive nature but there is not place for what he was doing in our game."
In the wake of LeBron James' decision to give the game-winning shot up to Eddie House rather than take it himself against the Thunder on Sunday, NBA.com's John Schuhmann performed a fantastic analysis of players' decision-making during the final 30 seconds of games.
Two notes from the piece stand out about the 2010-11 Celtics: 1) Generally, the NBA's star players pass the ball at an alarmingly lower rate in the final 30 seconds of a game within 1-3 points as opposed to other situations. Makes complete sense, right? Well, there's one exception to that rule:
Paul Pierce actually has a slightly higher assist rate in must-have-a-bucket-situations (19.4) than he does overall (15.3). He he's attempted 17 shots and dished out five assists in the last 30 seconds with a tie game or with his team down 1-3 points over the last 2 ½ years. Only Jose Calderon has more assists (six) in such situations. Baron Davis, Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo also have five.
And 2) "Ray Allen doesn't have a single assist in those situations. But he's not supposed to pass." That's because Allen has by far the best true shooting percentage (76.1 percent) in the NBA when his team is down between 1-3 points in the final 30 seconds of games this season. He's made 11-of-21 field goals, 9-of-14 3-point shots and 5-of-6 free throws in those situations.

FAQ 1 to 4 of 4
If you are planning dental treatment in the future, please call HIF prior to treatment on 1300 13 40 60 to confirm that you will be covered.
That's right. There's no limit to the number of emergency ambulance services you may require in any year. Where taken to the emergency department of a hospital for necessary treatment, HIF will cover 100% of the charge (however for non-urgent ambulance services you will be required to make a $50 co-payment toward the cost of each service). That's great value when you consider Medicare doesn't cover urgent ambulance transport, which can cost over $900.
Annual Limits: To view the annual limits for all Extras services covered on a Premium Options policy, check out our Extras Cover Comparison Table or download a copy of our Product Disclosure Statement
Exclusions: Ambulance benefits are not payable for:
Restrictions: Claims must be made within two years of the service being provided.
All health funds have to enforce waiting periods. It's the only way we can protect our members from people who simply join our fund to claim large amounts and then leave. However, we try to keep waiting periods to a minimum. That's why, if you switch to HIF from another health fund, we'll honour your full length of membership with your previous fund, (meaning you won't have to re-serve any unnecessary waiting periods), plus we'll give you an immediate loyalty benefit under HIF's Extras loyalty program.
If you aren't switching from another health fund, our standard waiting periods are:
Like most Extras health covers, there are annual limits for most services under Premium Options, which means there's a limit on how much we will pay toward your claims every year. Each January, however, your benefit limits will be refreshed. What's more, if you retain cover, we'll increase your annual limits on a number of services.
For example, benefits and annual limits for general dental services increase each year for the first 5 years of membership. Similarly, benefits and annual limits for complementary therapy services will increase after 3 years' membership, and optical benefits increase after 5 years.
Visit our online knowledge base to learn more about our popular range of Extras Cover options. Common questions include:

President Obama has now confirmed that he has indeed exchanged letters with Iran's new president, Hassan Rowhani. It is but one of a flurry of recent signals that the United States and Iran are considering direct talks in an effort to see if they can diplomatically resolve concerns over Iran's nuclear program.
Asked by George Stephanopoulos of ABC News in an interview that aired on September 15 if he'd reached out to the new Iranian president, Obama said: "I have. And he's reached out to me."
Obama told ABC that "my suspicion is that the Iranians recognize they shouldn't draw a lesson that we haven't struck [Syria] to think we won't strike Iran. On the other hand, what… they should draw from this lesson is that there is the potential of resolving these issues diplomatically."
Rumors abound of a possible "impromptu" corridor encounter between Secretary of State John Kerry and Iran's new foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York. (The White House has officially denied any plans for a meeting between Obama and Rowhani when both leaders address the U.N. body September 24.)
Meantime, Iran's hard-line supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reportedly endorsed diplomacy, in a speech to Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps on September 16. "I am not opposed to correct diplomacy," Khamenei reportedly said. "I believe in what was named many years ago as 'heroic flexibility.'"
Then, most bewildering of all, there are the Rosh Hashanah greetings that Rowhani and Zarif issued over Twitter earlier in September, spurring both stunned amazement and some skepticism in the social media and policy universes.
Watching the signs of outreach and openness for dialogue between the United States and Iran with increasing anxiety is Israel, perpetually worried that the Americans will be duped by the new Iranian leaders' public relations savvy and diplomatic skills — light years better than those of their Holocaust denying predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
But American officials have been adamant that they will not be fooled by Twitter diplomacy. What they are looking for from Iran is action — not words, they say; concrete, substantive agreement to ensure that Iran is not able to reach a "breakout" capability to make a nuclear bomb.
Rowhani has at numerous times indicated that he is willing to bring more transparency to the Iranian nuclear program, but not to halt Iran's lower-level enrichment. While more nuclear transparency is welcome, it is not enough, an American official told me recently. Iran would also need to accept some limits on its enrichment program to reassure the international community that it could not "break out" and produce enough highly enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon using declared facilities under regular inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Also recently, Iranian sources close to the new Iranian leadership suggested in consultations in Washington that Iran would be willing to limit the number of its centrifuges, but not the quality of them; to cap enrichment at 5%; to accept a more intrusive IAEA inspection and safeguards regime, and to sign the IAEA's Additional Protocol, all in return for significant sanctions relief, recognition of its legal right to enrich for energy purposes and additional, unspecified incentives put forward by three European powers a decade ago.
One Iranian source, speaking not for attribution, suggested recently that Iran may be willing to reduce the number of its centrifuges to 3,500 — it currently has about 18,000. But it would like to keep the fortified underground enrichment facility at Qom, while the Natanz facility, the above ground enrichment site where Iran has some 15,000 centrifuges, is up for negotiation.
While such a proposal may meet United States' requirements that Iran's nuclear program be sufficiently monitored and limited to prevent a nuclear breakout capacity, it's not clear it will meet Israel's.
The White House has announced that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet Obama in Washington on September 30 before addressing the General Assembly.
"I intend to focus on stopping the Iranian nuclear program, really stopping the nuclear program," Netanyahu told his Cabinet. Among his demands are that Iran halt all uranium enrichment, remove all its stockpile of enriched uranium from the country, close the Qom enrichment facility and stop construction of its plutonium reactor at Arak.
"The Israelis fear that they understand the world is full of evil people, but the Obama administration only sees the world full of friends they haven't made yet," said Jon Alterman, head of Middle East studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
Meantime, hawkish groups are working with the Senate banking committee to press for legislation that would impose a de facto embargo on Iran, while Senator Lindsey Graham is proposing legislation that would authorize the use of military force against Iran.
Despite the new, more positive mood between Washington and Tehran, Iran's new leaders likely need to offer something enticing, and soon, for Obama to be able to sell a deal back home, to Congress and abroad to Israel.

About the Property
3 Bedroom, 2.5 Bath Villa In Eat, Prey, Love Country (Sleeps 8)
Set in the heart of Bali's rice terraces, Villa Abadi offers luxury accomodation for up to 8 guests in a stunning rural location, just 3km from beaches, 20 min from Canggu & nearby Seminyak and an excellent base to explore the rest of the island.
Set in lush gardens the villa boasts a swimming pool with loungers, sala, water features, external dining area, large gas BBQ and coi pond.
There is also a private decking area with seating outside the ground floor bedroom plus an upstairs balcony with relaxing sofas - the perfect place to sit and watch the sun going down over the rice fields whist sipping a cocktail.
The interior is decorated in a classic Balinese style, with high ceilings, hardwood floors, a new hand made open plan fitted kitchen, spacious dining area and double height lounge area with large doors and glazed areas that really bring the outside in. The master bedroom is very spacious with 4 poster king bed, walk in wardrobe, sitting area and stunning views across rice terraces and jungle to the mountains beyond. The second upper floor bedroom has a comfortable 4 poster king bed and views of rice terraces on two sides. The third bedroom is located on the ground floor, has an ensuite bathroom, its own private access and decking area. We also have a double sized sofa bed in the study and 2 large single 'bean bag' style mattresses that can be placed in any of the bedrooms for 7th-10th guests . The main bathroom is located on the upper floor and includes a large Balinese rain shower and solid wood tops fitted with 'his & her' sinks. There is also an open plan study/relaxation area.
The villa comes complete with maid services (including complimentary bath & pool towels, linen, laundry and pressing), poolman/gardener, security guard and the option of an in-villa chef.

All bedrooms are fitted with both air conditioning and ceiling fans. The master bathroom and study/relaxation area are also fitted with ceiling fans. The lounge and dining areas have floor mounted fans, which are rarely needed during the day as the large openable doors and windows create a pleasant cooling breeze most of he time.

She will not enter the villa until you unlock the door so to ensure your total privacy. She will turn on the lights in the villa in the evening if you are out and also turn on the AC in the bedrooms.
We have a villa manager, Raty, who will introduce herself to you when you arrive and assist you in any way you require. She can offer advice on places to see, shopping, spa treatments and can arrange the in villa chef to cook for you.
In addition there is a pool cleaner/ gardener called Putu and security guards on duty in the evening. All staff will help you in any way they can.

Are there restaurants nearby?
There are many dining options within 20 minutes of the villa. Local Indonesian food can be found everywhere. Some of our favorite Indonesian and western options include:
Echo beach
Echo Beach restaurant has extensive indoor and outside seating located right on the beach and elevated above the rolling waves that are very popular with surfers. It has a good selection of casual Asian and western food including a BBQ fish and meat selection. One of our favorite casual lunch spots. Try the Canggu fried chicken, tuna steak or homemade beef pie.
Plumbers Arms
This is a British style pub which serves all the usual British food including fish and chips, pies as well as a large selection of sandwiches, wines and beers. Located a couple of doors along from Bali Buda and Kunti III. Our recommendations are the Sunday roast, the Ploughmans Lunch or the Shepherds pie!
Kunti III
This small but perfectly formed Sushi and Japanese food restaurant serves the best sushi in Bali at very reasonable prices. Their Sushi sets are particularly good. They also have a takeaway and delivery service.
Canggu Club
The Canngu club is a beautiful colonial style building situated in large grounds in the village of Canggu and has a large swimming pool, gym and spa. Daily and weekly memberships are available but are not required for the casual restaurant overlooking the grounds serving a variety of cuisines.
Sarong is a lovely restaurant serving a wide selection of Asian cuisine from probably the longest menu in Bali! Reservations are highly recommended as it is a popular restaurant. Also have gluten free, dairy free and nut free menus.
Sardine is a charming restaurant located in a large bale overlooking paddy fields in Kerabokan. As the name suggests the menu is fish focused but they also serve a selection of other classics such as steak.
Alila Villas Soori
This 5 star villa/hotel development is less than ten minutes from the villa through local villages and paddy fields. It has a seafront restaurant serving a good selection of regional Indonesian and international food as well as a lovely bar overlooking the sea. It is a nice place to enjoy lunch or evening cocktails or a special meal. Mention Villa Abadi to get 20% off restaurant food and spa treatments.
Metis is beautifully situated overlooking rice paddies and serves a variety of Asian inspired dishes.
Pan Pacific Nirwana Resort
This 5 star resort is next to Tanah Lot temple and has breathtaking views of the ocean and temple. It boasts an excellent golf course and a variety of dining options. We suggest heading to the sunset lounge and watching the sun set over Tanah Lot with a cocktail.

The cost of the chef is US$20 for the preparation of one meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner), US$35 for two and US$50 payable directly to the chef. This does not include any ingredients and is the same regardless of the number of guests. The villa manager will liaise with you regarding what you would like the chef to prepare and timings.
Is there a supermarket nearby?
There are small shops in the village at the top of the drive where you can buy water, eggs, crisps/chips. There is a small supermarket less than 5 minutes drive from the villa. The much larger Hardy's supermarket is a 10 minute drive from the villa and stocks a wide range of products. Bali Deli is an expat type supermarket in Seminyak and there is a large Carrefour on Sunset Road in Kuta.
Can in villa spa treatments be arranged?
Yes please speak to the villa manager who will arrange these on your behalf. A 1 hour Balinese massage at the villa will cost around US$13.

Car: Recommended
The villa is located in a small traditional Balinese village approximately 40 minutes drive from Denpasar airport, in the heart of eat, pray, love country.
The villa is located on a small hill in the rural traditional Balinese village of Bengkel. The village has a few small local shops (where you can buy fresh eggs and basic provisions), rice and small hold farming and some cottage industries such as clay roof tile manufacturing from clay and coconut husks. The villa is set back over 100m from the road accessible by a private driveway and is located on the edge of rice terraces on 3 sides with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside and jungle to the mountains in the distance. The location is very natural and the villa is not overlooked at all.
There is private parking and a car and driver can be arranged at a very reasonable cost.
There is a lovely secluded beach within 5 minutes drive and the world famous Echo Beach is 10km from the villa. Seminyak can be reached in 20 minutes and Kuta and Sanur slightly longer.
Dining options within 20 minutes of the villa include the Canggu club, Alila Soori resort, Nirwana Pan Pacific resort (including Bali's top golf course) as well as an array of local restaurants. Alternatively, pour a glass of wine, relax on the balcony watching the sun go down and let the villa chef create some amazing local and international cuisine! For more information on location, including details of some of our favorite restaurants (with maps and clickable links)
Owner info
Year Purchased: 2011
About the owner: We are a British couple, based in China for the last 10 years and recently relocated to Singapore, who spent a long time looking for the perfect rural retreat with rice terrace, jungle and mountain views to escape the concrete jungle and non stop pace of Shanghai! Having found Villa Abadi we now regularly spend quality time away from the frenetic pace of life in China and find real pleasure in our new found passion of identifying projects to improve Villa Abadi to not only increase the quality of the experience for ourselves, but also that of our guests.
Why the Owner Chose Tabanan, Tabanan Sub-District, Tabanan Regency, Bali, Republic of Indonesia:
Bali is an easy sell as a holiday destination with its tropical weather and fantastic surf and beaches, but all too many visitors only get to experience the 'tourist trail' Bali that has grown up around the popular locations of Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Sanur, Kuta etc. Villa Abadi is only 20 minutes from Canggu & Seminyak but is in a different world, set in a small rural village on the edge of rice terraces, jungle and with views to Batukeru, Bali's 2nd highest mountain, in the distance. Ubud is just 20km away yet the villa is still less than 10 minutes from deserted paradise beaches. For the more adventurous, the much quieter Western part of the island, much of which is National Park, becomes much more accessible as do trips to the center and North coast of the island.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa:
Ideal for those looking to relax in a rural tropical location where the traffic noises of the main tourist hubs are replaced by crowing roosters, bird song and the occasional village festival and the views of villa compound walls by working rice terraces, jungle, mountains and local village scenes. It is also a great base from which to explore greater Bali including central areas such as Bedugal and the north coast as well as the very quiet western parts of the island. With a variety of great dining options within 20 minutes of the villa and a similar trip time back to the bustle of Seminyaks bars & beaches we believe Villa Abadi offers the best of both worlds.

NEW YORK—While en route home from Florida we spent Tuesday night in a very comfortable motel, the Paloma Court, in Nahunta, Georgia. There were good, clean beds, and, somewhat to our amusement, we found washcloths in our bathrooms.
On the mirror in each little apartment there is a card that reads: "Courtesy Court," to indicate evidently, that these courts live up to certain standards. Also, they will notify other motels on your path of travel if you will inform them where you intend to make your next stop. Unfortunately, however, I am not good at deciding ahead of time just how far I will travel in a given day. The other night, for instance, we drove until nearly 11:30 because we could not find a place we liked well enough, or that had enough empty space.
There is a great deal of truck traffic on the Southern roads at night, and even in the daytime I was astonished how much traffic there was and how many small settlements there are along the roads through Florida and Georgia. Here and there you go through long stretches of unsettled country, but usually you go from one little settlement into another.
In Georgia, the first impression I got was of the tall Georgia pines. I always think of them as part of the landscape around Warm Springs.
I saw no signs of reforestation anywhere in Florida, but I presume there must be some. I can't imagine any state allowing lumber companies to cut its trees without some plan for replacing them.
I was very pleased in Winter Park, Florida, to see an old friend, Mr. James D. Reagan. For so many years he was an excellent counsel to the boys at Groton School, and had great patience with those who had particular difficulties. He will be 80 years old on February 24, but he hasn't changed much in recent years—being slim and trim and neat, and precise in his use of the English language. He asked after each one of my boys, so he has not forgotten his former pupils.
There is no doubt about it, if you want to associate with your contemporaries, when you have reached the serene age of 70 or 80, Florida is the place to go.
Mrs. Elizabeth von Hesse, on the other hand is giving lessons in voice regularly five days a week in Winter Park, and I am surprised that there are enough young people who are interested in learning how to speak! She encouraged me very much, however, by telling me that if you use your voice properly there is no reason why it should show signs of growing old.
My impression always has been that an older person's voice grows weaker and carries less power as he ages, but she insists there is no real reason for this to happen. In addition, she tells me that you can continue training your memory, and that the forgetfulness so many of us find creeping on us in old age is to a certain extent a matter of laziness.
I am afraid it is at times also a matter of lack of interest and that the real way in which people age is to cease being interested in the things that happen around them.

I've been told that I have a reply on my request...but I don't know how to get it....I hope that you were able to help me with the beautiful pattern for the baby quilt....
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I've been told that I have a reply on my request...but I don't know how to get it....I hope that you were able to help me with the beautiful pattern for the baby quilt....
Namal you pobably have to go to your private message site
There isn't a pattern. I goofed because I didn't acctually want the wheels to be that small, it took lots of quilting. I had some measuring to figure out the sizes of the pieces but if you put the pattern on graphing paper and then cut out the peices and add the 1/4 seam allowance it works.I use the graphed milar. Once you figure out the size you can use squares to cut in half and, then squares to cut in half and half again for the smaller triangles. Then I put the sashing around each square. I saw the lime in another baby quilt with pin wheels but they had flaps of material for the blades of the wheel and I didn't want that. Glad you like it.
THanks for the tip....I really don't know much about computers...I've recicve messages but they came to my email that I gave them....since I really don't know how to get them.....any help I can get I'll try to use...email@example.com
nanmal, at the top of the page you will see where it say "Private Messages" click on that and it will open.
Thanks for the info....I did that and I have no messages....not even yours...I can't firgure out why?????
didn't send you a private, but did send to the yahoo addy
That is nice and colorful. Great pattern... Here are a couple of mine I just finished. Just the top on the blue one but the bunnies are done.
