- Dependably wonderfulSandiDined on 9/29/2014Kuleto's is my "go to" place in the city. I recommend it to others who are visiting the Union Square area. The food is always delicious. I have a very hard time choosing something other then the pasta with duck ragu, but I routinely try new first appetizers and desserts. Have never had a disappointing meal here. Our server was particularly charming this time. This visit was with a friend and we always save room for dessert. The kitchen staff is always happy to split our courses so we aren't too full.Special Features:
- Worst service everBrianVIPDined on 9/28/2014This was the second time in a week that I was at Kuleto's. My business associate was impressed and the service was slow, but good. This time, with my wife we were treated by our waiter Alex like we were a bother, an interruption to his evening. When we asked about the special he stated he didn't know, but made no effort to find out. Then, when we use our dining privliges afforded us by Passport International he lost his mind, slamming the Passport card back in the table he mutter something about us being 'a passport table' like it was a disease. There are hundreds of great places to spend you food dollars in San Francisco, I would recommend another one.
- DuckOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/27/2014I live in Brazil and when I came to San Francisco always I have to go to Kuleto's to eat a Duck with pasta. It's terrific.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic. Great food. Great ServiceFoxyDined on 9/27/20145 star fine dining. Truly. The customer service was very attentive. The food was -- divine. Beutiful interior and ambiance. A very romantic dining place.Special Features:
- A Wonderful Birthday SurpriseOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/27/2014The food was delicious. Presentation delightful and the service was off the charts. All this made it a memorable birthday dinner.Special Features:
- Good time!LoveSanFrandiningDined on 9/26/2014Gorgeous restaurant...lots of fun...good food and I'd love to go back to belly up to the kitchen bar...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Was excited but disappointedKelseyDined on 9/25/2014I came here to celebrate my 18 bday! When we got there we were early for our reservation and they were very accommodating and sat us early. Once we were seated, though, we were not approached by a server for 5 to 10 min. He was very unfriendly and unwelcoming. He made it clear in his body language and lack of attention that he was not happy to have a table of four young girls. I was so disappointed that I tipped poorly, which I rarely do. Working at a 5 star restaurant myself I expected much better service. In my opinion if you are working in a high quality restaurant you should be giving the best service to all of your tables, even ones who are young and don't look like big spenders. This was my first and will be my last visit to Kuletos.Special Features:
- Poor waiter!!!!dkb58VIPDined on 9/25/2014The food was very good but our experience was tarnished by a very pretentious and non-attentive waiter. Worst waiter ever at a nice restaurant!!! Did not pay any attention to us. We were a party of 6 and we were not even offered grated cheese or pepper like everyone around us. Of course a manager never came to our table.
- Pre theater diningjanjeeDined on 9/24/2014Kuleto's is very close to the ACT Geary theater, has good food, good service, but was very noisy the night I was there. I would go again, and would hope for a less rushed time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My "go-to "BillNYCVIPDined on 9/21/2014I travel to SF frequently and some times am dining alone. I love Kuleto's since the service is amazing and the food is very, very good. I enjoy my meals here every time --highly recommendSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- My favorite splurgeFood4thoughtDined on 9/21/2014Last time I dined at Kuletos was after a presentation--essentially a job audition. Having been there before (and having a few hours to kill before my flight home), I sat by the fireplace and ate an early dinner. I had the veal, which never disappoints. Went back yesterday for that very dish, but was tempted away from it by a Monterrey halibut special. It was the most delicious halibut...and there's a big bump to overcome with someone who came for a favorite. I did have the beans replaced with spinach, the side for the veal. Delicious!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 4 p.m biteGloryDined on 9/21/2014We'd emerged from theatre, didn't want to wait for dinner time, so sat at the bar with a $5 Barbera, delicious, and 2 generously sized antipasti. The food and staff were great.
- Poor service and bland foodbeaglemommaDined on 9/20/2014Had reservations on Sat night and was told to wait at the bar . Was ignored by the server who finally showed up to take our drink orders and she was crabby and unpleasant- as if she was over-worked and we were an imposition. When eventually seated in the dining area adjacent to the hotel lobby were were greeted by a pleasant young woman, who was clearly overly busy with too many tables to serve. There were 2 medium size groups who were most likely convention people. She spent way more time with them (perhaps expecting a better tip?) Beyond the service the food was "meh". I wouldn't recommend or go back.
- Very NiceWorldTravelerDined on 9/20/2014We had two hours to kill before needing to get to the theater. We informed our waiter of this and he did an outstanding job of stringing our service along to fill the two hours. We waited a bit between courses but this was the intention. Worked perfectly. As for the food? My wife was brought the wrong salad that she ordered but the salad she was brought (spinach) was excellent. The lady who brought the salad realized her mistake but it was all good. Wife had the halibut special that was excellent. I had the filet Mignon. I ordered medium rare but got the steak medium. It was still very good. I find getting my steak cooked the way I like to be a rarity at any restaurant. Still, overall, a very nice dining experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Thursday night pre-theatre dinnereagereaterDined on 9/18/2014We have been regular customers of Kuleto's for many years and we have never had occasion to complain or to find their food or service questionable. We are always pleased and Thursday night was no exception. We were so pleased that the waiter noticed that we were returning customers. Thank you.Special Features:
- Tommy1VIPDined on 9/18/2014Kuleto's food quality, portion and price point used to be better. The kitchen lost some of its shine....veal scallopine was a bit salty, short ribs was tender and tasty but, small portion. Service continues to be excellent.Special Features:
- Very goodJhenry60Dined on 9/17/2014The braised short ribs were out of this world! Highly recommended. Excellent wine list. Had a Zinfandel that was great though a little pricey. Service was exceptional. All in all, a very enjoyable evening and we would definitely go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tepid food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014The food was tepid and bland, except for the calamari, which was good. The service was unenthusiatic and slow, even though they knew we were going to a show.

- the seating was poorOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 9/5/2014For the price we paid, and ambience we expected, the seating was poor. There was an elevated bar, with railing next to it and sits after the railing.. people were walking around the bar area, standing there, servers walking up and down. and other side is asmall lane.. over all the seat was quite horribl.e
- San Fran vacation travelerreview4uDined on 9/5/2014Through the years I have visited San Francisco many times for pleasure and with every visit I have dined at Kuleto's. It was recommended by a business associate. This restaurant continues its high quality of food and ambiance. I ordered one of the specials, halibut. It was nicely prepared and cooked just right. I look forward to my next visit to San Francisco and Kuleto's.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not the place it once wasWorldTravellerDined on 9/4/2014We used to love dining here whenever we visited. But we wont be going back ever again. The food was way over salted and the service pathetic. We think there was an ownership change and the new owners have ruined the place. If by union square go elsewhere.
- joeeatsDined on 9/2/2014Nice to return to an old favorite and find that, even though it's overrun with tourists, it hasn't lost its charm. Food is still very good and the service was excellent. Great location right on the cable car line.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not as good as it used to beFoodyddsVIPDined on 9/2/2014Sorry to say but the quality of the food here is just not what it used to be but the price keeps going up. I had the Halibut special, perhaps the portion was 3 oz, overly dry and salty. All I tasted was salt. The service was wonderful. The bread basket - something we looked forward too also seemed a bit stale.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 8/31/2014Presentation of food was fine, quality of food was good but not distinguished - just average, but one would expect far more from this iconic SF restaurant & at these price points. Our waiter was not the most professional - friendly but disappeared for long periods, didn't clear the table between courses, or stay aware of wine needs - which is puzzling since this boosts profits and tip levels. Too many other options to bother going back.
- A Union Square favoriteLeweygDined on 8/31/2014We always dine at Kuleto's for lunch when we are in San Francisco. Its location is great. Its menu is creative and varied. Its prices are reasonable and at its worst, the service is good but most often excellent.I highly recommend it, especially when you visit Union SquareSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun eveningjulzDined on 8/30/2014We were celebrating a friends 50th birthday. It was great. The food was excellent and the waiter brought out a nice free desert for the birthday gal. I have been going to this place for many years and whenever I am in san francisco in this area it is my go to place. I also was impressed that one of the Bar tenders was still there after all these years..shows what kind of place it is if they can keep their staff happy..Special Features:
- A delightful experienceConnisuerDined on 8/30/2014The appetizers, main course and libations were excellent! I highly recommend Kuletos for group events, romantic dinners and birthday celebrations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Classic Restaurant in S.F.SFFoodieDined on 8/29/2014Kuleto's is one of those places that you always want to return to. The food is great and the wait staff is attentive but not overly so. The only negatives I could possibly come up with are that they share restrooms with the hotel next door, which is a little inconvenient and the booths near the front (which are very comfortable) are noisy because of their proximity to the bar.Special Features:
- Night at the TheathreNightoutDined on 8/28/2014Been years since I have been here. Food and service was great...got us out in time for the showSpecial Features:
- Bad ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/27/2014Really disapointed!!!! had a 6pm reservation for 6pm. The restaurant was less than half full. When seated we waited for 20 minutes before we stopped a bus boy to find our waiter. And. when the waiter finally showed, he couldn't have cared less about our experience. Once he took our drink orders he disappeared again and it took 20 minutes more to get 4 glasses of wine... Waiter had zero personality and made us feel he was doing us a favor. Waited for our food for another 40 minutes... Outrageous.... When we finally asked where our orders were.. (another waiter, our was MIA) he responded that their were three orders ahead of ours... The experience ruined our evening. This restaurant need serious management.. What a disgrace...
- Excellent food and serviceExcellentDined on 8/27/2014Our dinner was superb. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. Our waiter (RJ was his name, I believe) was gracious, helpful, warm yet unobtrusive, and highly knowledgeable about the food. The fireplace brings a nice feel to the room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Not bad.
The music gets a little repetitive after a while, and it was rather easy to keep an eye on the ball, I got to level 24 without really trying. Other than that, It was pretty good.
Nice one! Did you lose on level 24 then... or give up?? LOL

Too Easy...
Nice little game. But needs more bowls. Especially for us that used to be good at Tapper (Arcade game) from way back when. ;)
Intriguing... More bowls won't fit on it though, unless you want them smaller.. I could just increase the speed :P
Thanks for the review

SPOKANE, Wash.--Geno's in North Spokane is under new ownership following a June fire which closed the restaurant.
The new owners said they were looking to buy Geno's before a three-alarm fire destroyed part of the building near Hamilton and Sinto. Co-owner Marshall Powell said he looked at the old restaurants less than a week before the fire. Powell said they have repaired everything from new wiring to sheetrock.
WATCH: Three-alarm fire damages Geno's and apartments
The June 15th fire also destroyed neighboring apartments. Investigators called the fire arson but never charged a suspect.
"It'd be nice to catch a person who tried to burn a building down," said Powell. "But it really doesn't affect us very much."
He said insurance with the old owners covered most of the damage, which was contained to the outside and the walk-in cooler. The new owners closed the deal at the end of August according to Powell.
WATCH: Investigators review security video
The new ownership group also plans to make cosmetic changes. Powell said they are working to redesign the dinning room and the menu.
"We just kind of throw our concept out there, and let it evolve into whatever it becomes," added Powell.
Geno's will take on more of a college sports bar feel according to Powell. He is one of four partners operating the newly renovated Geno's. The four partners are the same people behind The Elk in Browne's Addition and The Two Seven in South Spokane.

Summer in Review: How Was Your CSA?
Most CSAs and farm-shares have sent their last boxes of winter vegetables and closed up shop for the season. Now that we've had a chance to catch our breath (and finish eating our leafy greens!), we thought we'd take a moment to reflect - how was your CSA experience this year?
Like many of you, this was my first year doing a CSA. I absolutely loved getting the fresh produce every week and I also really loved feeling like I was part of the community. I got to know the farm a lot better and became friends with the people at my weekly pick-up. I was fairly pleased with the weekly variety, and especially pleased with all the potatoes, squashes, and beets we'll be eating well into the winter months.
But I'll be honest with you, I found the whole experience a little tough. Some of it was the standard CSA complaint of getting overloaded with one thing and not enough of something else. I seriously never thought I'd get so tired of corn! Or so desperate for tomatoes!
I also found the CSA pretty limiting. I couldn't really justify buying a lot of extra produce to supplement what I got in my box because I knew that I would have a hard time eating through everything as it was. Plus I didn't have a lot of extra money in my food budget. It was disheartening to walk by so much great produce and know I wouldn't see a lot of it in my box.
In our house, we did pretty a pretty good job of eating through or freezing everything from our box each week, though it definitely took some concerted effort! I discovered that I really like eggplant, but radishes still aren't my favorite. The only thing that routinely got wasted was lettuce. I really tried to use it up! Drat that lettuce!
All in all, I'm not entirely sure if we'll do the CSA again next year. I feel divided and unsure about what is best for me and what is best for this farm, economically and socially.
We'd love to hear your own experiences and thoughts on the CSA program!

This was our first year in a CSA as well and, like you, we haven't decided whether or not to do it again next year. Ours seemed a bit skimpy in the early/mid summer, but was bountiful in the late summer/early autumn. Still, there was a lot of (self-imposed) pressure to use everything we received each week and I just wasn't always able, especially the more fragile produce. It pained me to throw away so much lettuce and I know I let several cucumbers rot too. I did really love all the potatoes we received, as those are harder to find locally here (and the grocery store ones are not so hot), but the apples, while plentiful, were kind of disappointing.
I'm kind of leaning towards just shopping at local farm stands next year, so I can be sure to buy only what I will actually use that week.
This was also my first year joining a CSA. I live by myself and cook alot during the week so I thought that it would be great to get all those veggies and limit myself to my weekly box and some whole grains, beans and what not. But it was extremely difficult to keep up with it all, I gave a lot away and froze a bunch (I have bags and bags of corn frozen which will be a great surprise come January). It was a rough year for a lot in New England, we had a lot of rain and not a lot of hot days. Tomatoes were rare and ok at best. I too, tossed too much lettuce and kale (I couldnt eat figure out what to do with it)
Although I never would have bought a japanese squash (which was fabulous) there was not much else that was interesting in my box.
Next year I am going to stick with the farmer's market. e have a great one near my office (Copley Square Boston) and I can pick and choose what I get. I am going to stick to my $20 a week budget (thats what the CSA figured out to be) and enjoy it alot more.
I am leaning more toward the farmer's market next year, too. I loved getting the food each week, but so many greens, cucumbers, and zucchini went to waste because we couldn't use them fast enough. Many times they would wilt within a day or two, and I just didn't have the energy to get them all cooked that first night. I was dissatisfied with the amount of fruit we received as well. The variety just wasn't there. If I could find a local farm that guaranteed more fruit and more variety throughout the season, I would definitely try it again.
I will say, too, that my family tried and really enjoyed some foods and recipes that we normally never would have even thought of, and that was a very pleasant, rewarding experience.
love my csa, though I do do a lot of supplementing. wasted tons of bell peppers, but ate most of everything else. just want nothing to do with so many bell peppers.
I documented the CSA on my blog, www.breadbabies.blogspot.org. Just look for keyword CSA.
I was hoping for more herbs OTHER than parsley.
But also more of ONE thing rather than an assortment of tiny servings of thinks. One TINY butternut squash, 6 little beets, etc, makes it hard to cook.
This is the first year participating in a CSA as well and mine will continue through the winter.
I enjoyed being forced to try new veggies that I ordinarily would not have bought (parsnips, cabbage varieties, leeks, etc)
I also grappled with the waste issue. In the beginning, my weekly box was a bit much and I was really struggling to use it all up. I've fixed that problem by opting to only get a box every other week. If I need to, I supplement my veggies on the off weeks by buying at the farmers market. This also allows me to indulge a little and get veggies that I want, but aren't appearing in my box.
Vegetables now make up a much larget portion of my diet which is great as well.
I did a CSA for 2 years, about 3 years ago. I opted out for 3 reasons: 1. Too much of some things, not enough variety, and the waste that has been mentioned above. 2. The price of gas meant the CSA charged more and it cost ME more to drive the 15 miles to wait at my drop-off point. Some days it took me almost an hour of driving through traffic for a round trip! 3. I found that shopping once or twice a week at the local farm stands near me suited my family better. I could also buy large amounts from the farm stands if I wanted to can or freeze. I spent less at the farm stands too, even with the mass purchasing of green beans, apples, and peaches!
It was my first year too. My CSA runs all year round, doing greenhouse greens and stored vegetables (probably mostly root veggies? We'll see).
I'm torn about next year. One of the things I liked a lot was the variety.
I had things show up in my box that I've never tried before, and probably wouldn't have chosen even if I saw them in the market. But because they showed up in my box, I looked up recipes and gave them a try. I learned that I liked beets! I thought I hated beets.
And... I got some fantastic varieties that I would have been reluctant to choose at the farmers market because they were so much more expensive compared to the "normal" varieties. Amazing heirloom tomatoes. Chioggia beets. Purple and yellow carrots. Moon & stars melons.
But... I've got some pretty expensive compost percolating in the backyard too. Lots of lettuce and sprouts went in there. A couple of tomatoes and zucchini. Some beet greens. Some kale.
When we were in the thick of the tomato season it was easy to give lots of them away, but I didn't get any takers for the beet greens and kale.
Will I do it again? I think so. I know I ate better/healthier with it than without. And it pushed my boundaries a bit, which I like.
I did a CSA for the first time last year and opted not to do it this year. As with the others, the amount of food wasted bothered me.
The biggest bother, however, was that I felt like a slave to the basket. I had to leave work early to pick it up, spend a good 45 minutes washing, drying and bagging the produce for the storage, and that was just on pickup day. Then the looking up of recipes to find a different way of cooking the vegetable for the 5th week in a row and not being able to eat any corn, because none came in the basket.
It was a great introduction to what is available locally, and I learned that kale and kohlrabi are kinda awesome.
This was my first time doing a CSA and we made the decision to go with a bit more expensive 100% organic farm. I too had trouble dealing with the small portions of things. We had what was called a "couple" share because we are only two people but what are two people supposed to do with one kolerabe when most recipes call for 5-7? Also since our farm was 100% organic, we experienced a lot of wasted vegetable parts due to them being eaten by bugs. Also, my father has a huge garden and a lot of things i was getting from the CSA, i didn't need b/c they were available to me from my father. I think next year we will sign up with a farm that does a sort of debit card system at the farmers market. you still pay one flat rate in the beginning of the season but you get to pick exactly what you want from the farmer's market and they deduct it from your account (you get a discounted rate different than what the public pays) I think this is a good option because i know for myself i LOVE lettuce but HATE mustard greens which were a standard player in my farms only offered salad mix. As well, we hardly ever use potatoes in my household but eat tons of tomatoes. It'd be nice to be able to have more pick & choose freedom. Im going to stick with the CSA though b/c I think it's a really great way to ensure open land is preserved and not used for WRETCHED housing developments! PS. I do wish that I hadn't picked a farm that had meat options because it's horrible to pet and feed the cutest little black goat you've ever seen for two months to find out one day that he'll be back the following week....in shrink wrap!!! AAAAH!!!
This was our first year, too, and we just reviewed our feelings about it. Verdict: we love it. We have three weeks left, so we're not totally done. We think we saved money (if we compare to buying organic at the market), we loved the wide selection, we ate healthily, the farmers are friendly, and it didn't bother us that we didn't always get to "choose" what veggies we got to cook. Also, the drop-off site is a three-block walk from home. What's not to love? We're signing up again. We're subscribers to Sauvie Island Organics.
Sadly, i think i won't be doing the CSA again last year, although i sang its praises all year to anyone that would listen. At the end of the day, i was too much a slave to the CSA -- planning my day around the pick up times, and basically having to spend my entire Saturday washing/sorting/storing veggies and then hours on the internet to find new recipes and then hours cooking the stuff. Each Saturday was gone -- or else there was a rotting mess happening in my fridge.
Also, summers are for travel and going away, which made the CSA difficult, even though i only had a every-other-week share. I've also crammed my freezer full of veggies that i didn't want to go to waste. While i would like to stock up next year and freeze things for the winter months, i want to be able to pick and choose what and when i do so.
The thing that i will miss most is that my CSA was organic, and the organic stands at my greenmarket are limited with smaller selection... :(
We are finishing up the third year of our CSA. We love it, but I think we have one of the best CSAs in the country, and in CA, the growing season is year round and the variety is incredible. For those of you having trouble using up everything, or not liking everything you get, consider finding a friend to split a box with. We get a large box and split it with two other couples. They get all the onions because I hate them; one couple doesn't like bell peppers and collards; one couple doesn't eat potatoes. It works out perfectly. Plus, it's a good chance for us to get together once every couple of weeks for a "box dinner."
My CSA worked out great- I joined for the first time this year and feel like it was a worthwhile experience. I loved not knowing what I was getting until I showed up at the farm and the fact that we have access to the CSA's "you pick" to snip herbs and flowers we wanted. I never felt like I missed out on anything (maybe we had an exceptionally great season) and the things we got a lot of, I loved (cucumbers, melons, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, garlic scapes, all different types of greens). The CSA farm's "you-pick" was a big incentive for us to drive up there, check out the butterflies, hawks, etc., and be in nature for an hour or so every week. It might have been more work but it was seriously what I looked forward to every week. It was so eye opening to try so many different types of vegetables and to know the taste differences between types of peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and, even, greens. Not to mention a larger portion of my diet is based on locally grown, mostly organic produce. My CSA, Clagett Farms, also gives away roughly 40-60% of its produce to foodbanks, which I think is a cause worth supporting.
I'm lucky enough to live in San Diego and my CSA runs all year. I get it biweekly, that way I can supplement with trips to the farmers market and supermarket, and then I get what I crave as well as what I'm given.
Its introduced me to what most vegetables are supposed to taste like. Wow!
And a lot of bugs, but most things just get a dunk in a large bowl of water which goes on the garden.
The every-other-week option worked fairly well for two of us. Some food rotted, but we also had a small compost bin which eased the guilt. I actually expected a little more variety and quantity, but we live in Chicago and heavy rains damaged a lot of crops early in the season. My CSA is located in Wisconsin and consists of about 20 farms, so that reduces the risk. There are also drop-off points throughout the city based on where you live, which made it easy for me to pick up my food.
I too loved discovering that I enjoyed foods like beets and cabbage, and the taste of all the veggies was far better than the produce section of the grocery store. The experience also inspired me to install baskets on the back of my bike, because while I didn't buy as much produce from the store, I still needed to supplement recipes. I think I filled up my gas tank three times this summer.
For us, it pretty much sucked. It ran my life, and my daughter's husband will never eat another zuchini, even though we are very good at disguising it. We got only one crappy melon, way too much winter squash, and not enough onions or garlic. Next summer we are going straight Greenling.
I'm in Miami so my CSA is about to start up for the season. Last year I had a bit of difficulty keeping up with the vegetable onslaught, and I'll admit that I did waste a good bit of lettuce, but my cooking blog was very helpful in getting me out searching out new and interesting recipes and keeping cooking it all. It's like telling your friends that you're quitting smoking; the public pressure keeps you on the right path.
we signed up for a fall/winter csa for the first time this year. it started in oct and ends in early dec. i LOVE it and wish it continued through the winter. i started out religiously going to the farmers' market every saturday last april, but i've got to admit that it got old. i loved the produce i got, but i got sick of dealing with crowds of people pushing strollers and walking their giant dogs very slowly. ugh. one of my favorite things about the csa is that my husband drops me off at the edge of the market, i run and grab the bin, and then jump back in the car. no hunting for a parking spot, no people to deal with, and no walking to the atm to get cash (which i never seem to have).
having the csa just for the last few weeks has exposed us to all sorts of things we wouldn't have eaten otherwise. we discovered that we like chard, kale, romanseco cauliflower, collard greens, many varieties of squash and have fallen in love even more so with bell peppers because these are just soooo crisp and sweet! i don't like apples, but got 6 of them in the bin and decided to bake my very first pie. it was soooo good! who knew?
the only reason we might not join next year is if i get my butt in gear and plant a garden. we just moved to a house that has space for one. we'll see...
This is my second year with our CSA. We're into our winter season now, greenhouse tomatoes, root vegetables, apples; got a small pumpkin this week, leeks, and a bit of late broccoli. I did get overwhelmed in the summer, but spring and fall were fine. I think I can live with a little waste (and I get better each year.) Someone must have complained last year, however: this year, we got hardly any zucchini!
I'll be doing the vegetables again next year (it now goes all year round), but probably not the fruit share. The berries in the early summer were wonderful, but I can't eat a bag of apples in a week, and I don't bake enough to use them up in baked goods. It's hard though; the apples are like the ones I remember from childhood--fresh off the trees at my grandparents'. I did a flower share this year, too, which was really nice--but I haven't decided about doing the flowers again next summer.
I'm thinking about sharing with someone, but I'm not sure about the schedule. Thursday is the drop off day, which means if I partner with someone at work, we have to connect on Friday (it's just not the best day on a college campus). Maybe I can find a neighbor...
The main advantage to me is that knowing the box is coming again next week makes me add more vegetables to our meals. Without that, I get lazy. I'm now looking for recipes that use lots of vegetables and figuring out techniques to easily incorporate them into meals. Did you know that if you shred some carrots and zucchini, they cook to just tender in the time it takes to reheat pasta in the microwave? I now actually buy greens when they don't show up in the box--I never bought a bunch of kale or chard in my life before!
And it does make me feel good that I'm helping a farm family keep their farm. I love the idea of a "farm debit card" though--that would be perfect!
This was our first year and we love it! We split our box with friends so usually the portions are okay for 2 people. We get lots of greens too which can be a challenge but it's made me be creative and we're eating much healthier. 2 tips for the people that felt it was time consuming--use a salad spinner and those Debbie Meyer green bags. I did not have those in the spring and spent tons of time rinsing and storing veggies only to have some get wilty and brown before I could use them. Now with the spinner and bags, it's easy peasy.
It's funny that so many people decided against a CSA due to feeling enslaved to the box...My husband and I loved the structure of having something to base our meals off of. I do think we were lucky as our CSA is member's choice, meaning that the week before we logged in to a website to see the available produce and selected the items we wanted. We tried a lot of new things and while a few items went to waste (I love peppers but we just wound up with too many) we were really happy with everything. We also got eggs, fruit and yogurt. We were so sad to see it end that we signed up for a winter CSA that provides a variety of items - meat, cheese, eggs, yogurt, winter veggies, pasta, prepared foods (dried fruit, sauces, etc.).
This was my first year of CSA and we signed up for "every two weeks" share which gave us the best of both worlds: we got a lot of excellent fresh produce but also has an opportunity to shop for at the farmers market on "off" weeks for things that weren't well=represented at our CSA.
I loved the experience, was as if Xmas came every 2 weeks. I will definitely will be signing up for CSA next year, no doubt about it.
But boy, I'll be happy to never have to see lettuce again.

Fusion is an IMB* project for college students at Midwestern Baptist College. It is a one year process that includes a semester of intentional training and a semester of international missions. Fusion candidates are undergraduate students at Midwestern Baptist College in Kansas City, MO. The entire process includes 28 hours of college credit fulfilling nearly ¼ of the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts, Christian Ministry (Missions Focus) & Second Major degree program.
Fusion releases biblical adults who are committed to a lifetime of making disciples for the glory of God. The Fusion process equips young believers for kingdom service through instilling a transcendent cause which encompasses all of life. This transcendent cause, namely glorifying God through making disciples, is instilled through a series of challenging training events, college coursework, life on life discipleship, and rites of passage experiences. This cause is sealed through the carrying of the life-giving message of Jesus to nations around the world where it is tragically absent.
The Fusion process is broken down into three distinct phases:
In preparation to carry the Gospel to hard places, Fusion cohorts prepare spiritually, academically, physically, and contextually.
In order to make disciples of all nations, the believer must first be taught the truth of the Gospel and be shown how to live in response to it. This is accomplished especially through the challenging leadership of the advocate.
Academic (16 credit hours at Midwestern Baptist College)
Fusion candidates earn 16 hours of college credit towards the BACM (Missions Focus) degree program* in an effort to learn culture, foreign language, and biblical foundations which are integral to effective service overseas.
Fusion recognizes that the body is the Lord's and must be stewarded as a gift from Him. Further, cohorts will be traveling to places around the world where their task will demand a higher level of fitness. Through periodic training as well as weekly workouts, Fusion cohorts are prepared for this reality.
Utilizing intense training events, Fusion prepares its cohorts for the practical realities of living and working in harsh environments. Training events cover first aid, survival practices, transportation navigation, personal security, and loss of comfort and justice.
Fusion cohorts scatter across the globe to live out their training in partnership with long-term IMB missionary efforts. The entire second semester (January – May) is spent on the international mission field, learning the local culture, and fulfilling the mission assignment tasked by Jesus nearly 2000 years ago.
Most of the unreached people groups remain untouched by the Gospel because they live in places that are physically demanding, spiritually dark, and ideologically opposed to the Gospel. To proclaim the Gospel among unreached people groups in hard places, there is a level of inevitable risk associated with such a mission. However, the risk has been accounted for through a high level of training, prior planning, and in-country partnerships.
Through immersion in foreign contexts, cohorts form a strong foundation in a local language and in interpreting a new culture. This is aided through 12 hours of practicum course credit earned while studying cross culturally.
Mission Assignment
Fusion expects its cohorts to participate in advancing the kingdom in areas that IMB workers are unable to reach, thereby supporting (rather than hindering) the long-term efforts in the region.
PHASE 3 – Great Commission
Those who have completed the Fusion process are well on their way to earning a Bachelor's degree. More importantly, they return to finish their students with a profoundly transformed identity that will shape the rest of their life. Whether they go on to preparing for a secular or ministerial vocation, they will recognize that the chief aim of their life is to make much of Christ through multiplying disciples.
Apply now
To apply for Fusion, you must have or exhibit the following:
- Willing to submit to the Fusion process.
- High school graduate (23 years or younger).
- Must be admitted by Midwestern Baptist College as a student.

The Real Hustle
Although Ryan Oakes is best known for using his sleight-of-hand skills to entertain audiences, he is equally adept at using his talents for other pursuits.
With a degree in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, Oakes uses his training to make the impossible seem like anything but. He believes that an understanding of human behavior, perception, language and non-verbal communication are vital tools for pulling off a successful con.
Oakes has been a performer since he was 10 and became the youngest person to win the Society of American Magicians Adult Stage Competition, one of the highest honors in the field. Oakes says that much of performing magic is like executing a scam; he plays to people's emotions and takes advantage of their assumptions and perceptions.
Oakes has performed all over the U.S. and abroad and has employed his skills as a consultant for numerous Fortune 100 corporations. He most recently performed for the U.S. Military in both Guantanamo and Guam.
Ryan has been profiled in Forbes FYI and The New York Times and has made guest appearances on ESPN, CNN and The Discovery Channel.
Oakes is from Connecticut and now lives in New York City.
Dani Marco devotes many hours each week to her acting studies at the renowned William Esper Studio in New York City. Marco has appeared in several films and TV shows, including Law & Order, The Sopranos and Chris Rock's I Think I Love My Wife.
In addition to principle roles in more than 40 national and international commercials, as well as print and voiceover work, Marco is also involved in both healing and fine arts.
An indispensable member of The Real Hustle team, with a professional acumen that complements a sparkling personality, Marco has what it takes to give her targets a feeling of ease while taking on any role required. Dani's grace under pressure and ability to ad lib provide her street creditability and make her the ideal shill or distracter in any scam.
Apollo Robbins is the leader of The Real Hustle crew, and for excellent reason. After all, he is the man who made news by pickpocketing Secret Service agents as he entertained Jimmy Carter, relieving them of their watches, wallets, confidential itinerary and keys to the former President's limo.
Raised by a conservative minister father and two half brothers who were pickpockets, Robbins chose a career that reflects both parts of his upbringing. He utilized the skills he witnessed from his siblings, performing a con-artist and pickpocket show at Caesars Palace for many years.
Robbins spends the majority of his professional time working with individuals who earn livings from their knowledge of cons, including police officers, fraud investigators, tourist security experts, card sharps, pickpockets and scam artists.
In the last few years, Robbins has appeared on the Travel Channel's Travel Scams and Rip-offs Revealed, Animal Planet's Guerilla Magic and A & E's Mondo Magic. He has also developed the cons and choreographed the steals on several films, including Kun Chang's The Rip-Off (2006).

This Is Not OK -- Halloween's Gone Trampy
Forget pirates and pumpkins ... this year, the kids are going slutty.
We brought you this story weeks ago, but so many have been complaining about this very topic, that we had to bring it back. Can you believe the costumes out there? It's easier than ever to dress your six-year-old in a skanky costume: almost all of them are revealing and sexy. Newsweek reports halter tops, bare midriffs, miniskirts and knee socks are what moms are finding when shopping for a costume for their girls, and we agree: "It seems almost on the verge of child pornography, they ooze with so much attitude."
A girl isn't an Army cadet, she's a 'Major Flirt,' and who knew that female firefighters wore fishnet stockings?! One mom we know mentioned that her tall tween can't even fit into these teensy numbers and ended up having to shop in the adult aisle. There she couldn't find a single "covered-up" costume. What is going on here? Are retailers just following pop culture, or are our girls growing up way too fast? Whatever your answer -- don't be surprised if an six-year-old dominatrix shows up at your door!
Does your kid insist upon wearing something trampy on Halloween? Here are six tips from psychologist and momlogic friend Dr. Lisa Boesky on how to deal with those fashion fights.
1. If your daughter is under 16, do not purchase a costume you do not approve of. She won't be happy, but she'll get over it.2. If she is over 16, negotiate on how sexy to dress. She may want a micro mini skirt and you want ankle length--compromise with right above the knee. Allow her one sexy item versus an entire costume.
3. Be aware of your own clothing choices -- your daughter is paying close attention. If you dress much younger than your age, don't be surprised if your teen dresses more provocatively than hers.
5. Ask your daugher to explain how her sexy costume corresponds to
her actual behavior. Does it send the message that she is available
sexually? Is she even aware this is what boys might assume?
4. Ask your daughter how she feels when she dresses in a sexy costume. Why does she display so much skin? Really listen ... even if you don't like what you hear.
6. Have her father -- or another man she trusts/respects -- talk with her about how boys view girls who dress overtly sexy (slutty, bimbo, airhead, material, etc) He should emphasize the 'sexiness' of subtlety and leaving something to the imagination.

|Be Naughty on Halloween
|Cute Costumes
Hiya! I simply would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you've here on this post. I shall be coming again to your weblog for more soon.
Listen I want to agree with you about the halloween costumes but I just can't.
We baby our children too much, and because of that at eighteen years old most "kids" are completely unable to handle the real world. much less a real relationship, if they start dressing for dating at 16 they won't have enough time to properly develope the skills.
I want to quote something "4. Ask your daughter how she feels when she dresses in a sexy costume. Why does she display so much skin? Really listen … even if you don't like what you hear."
-Maybe you shouldn't be questioning her choice of dress, it's perfectly natural to want to be desired by the opposite sex. Maybe YOU need to ask yourself why you're so uncomfortable letting your child grow up properly!
In my house at 13 my family expected me and all siblings to be responsible for they're own actions, and that meant adult repercussions. Not only did I grow up better for it but at eighteen i was ready to enter the world of college, get a job, and a girlfriend. I thank my family for TRULY preparing me.
And never forget, our children are reflections of ourselves. DNA Percipitation people, it's real.

Shiver4 Reviews
Naruto and Sasuke seem to have finally found a way to work together; much to Kakashi's dismay.
Author: desolate butterfly
Genre: gen/fluff, ficlet
Pairings: mildly implied NaruSasuKaka
Rating: PG 13
Summary: Sasuke and Naruto have finally found a way to work together, much to their teacher's dismay.
All things considered, Kakashi should have expected it.
It was the first snow Konoha had seen in six years and it was good snow. The kind of snow that packed into shapes and walls and fortresses for the younger students at the academy to hide in. The kind of snow that glittered enticingly and crunched nicely under boots and hands, and wet your hair and face where it landed, soaking coldly into your clothes.
It was the kind of snow that shinobi children couldn't resist.
Plus Kakashi had shown up four hours late to training that morning, so he really should have been expecting it.
And he did expect it. From Naruto, which is why he ended up dodging the first barrage of kage bunshin armed with snowballs without even getting his copy of Icha Icha wet.
He didn't, however, expect the strike from Sasuke, who had attempted to drop a handful of snow down his back while Kakashi was busy finishing off Naruto's kage bunshin. And he didn't expect both boys to ambush him with a snowball the size of a boulder held between their collective hands.
He supposed he should be thankful they were attacking him with snow and not various chidori and rasengan combos.
And then one of Naruto's clones tripped him and Kakashi ended up in a snowbank with Sasuke on his back shoving snow up his facemask and into his nostrils and Naruto right behind him, merrily dumping snow down his pants, and Kakashi decided that he'd rather have a chidori/rasengan combo because at least those didn't leave him choking on half-frozen water with his balls trying to crawl back up into his body.
He also decided that it was time to get serious.
A few seconds and jutsu later, Kakashi was brushing the snow carefully off the cover of his book while Sasuke and Naruto struggled against the bindings that held them fast to a tree. Their clothing (except for their underwear) had been neatly set on a rock just out of their reach. Kakashi was so thoughtful. He'd even folded them so they wouldn't wrinkle.
"Hey, hey let us go!" Naruto yelled, his face red as he pulled and strained at the trap wires. "We're gonna get frostbite here!"
"Sakura can heal that easily," Kakashi said, readjusting his mask. It hadn't fallen off in the scuffle, but it had gotten quite damp. He'd have to change it when he got home. Something cool slid uncomfortable down his thigh and Kakashi sqiurmed a little. He'd have to change his pants too.
"At least give us our clothes you pervert," Sasuke muttered, teeth beginning to chatter.
Kakashi looked at the paleness of Sasuke's shivering bare shoulders and the quivering of Naruto's blue lips. Then he looked at the soaked front of his pants and raised an eyebrow.
Sasuke looked away, too cold to blush. Naruto only snickered and got an elbow in the ribs for it.
"No, I don't think I will," Kakashi said, mildly, tapping his gloved fingers against his chin and pulling his hitai-ate back down over his sharingan eye.
He left them to scream at each other and squirm uselessly against the bindings with a hint of a smile on his face. It seems they were learning teamwork, if only in order to make his life miserable. That was something, wasn't it? He'd send Sakura along to find them in a few minutes.
Immensely satisfied with himself, Kakashi flicked a page of Icha Icha Flirting over with a finger. The snow-soggy page ripped in half silently.
Kakashi twitched as a snowflake settled itself smugly over the rip, mocking him.
Maybe he'd wait a while before sending Sakura afterall.

Researchers Discover Innate Virus-killing Power in Mammals
Findings by UC Riverside's Shou-Wei Ding could help create vaccines against deadly infections, including SARS, West Nile, dengue, Hepatitis C and influenza.
… Researchers led by Shou-Wei Ding, who heads a lab in UC Riverside's Institute for Integrative Genome Biology, have discovered that, like plants and invertebrate animals, mammals use the RNA interference (RNAi) process to destroy viruses within their own cells.
Their findings will be published in the Oct. 11 issue of the journal Science.
Until now, scientists were unable to prove that mammals use RNAi for killing viruses, but ironically, it was Ding's earlier research into plants, nematodes and fruit flies that helped him find the key: viruses have been outwitting that innate protection in our cells by using proteins to suppress our virus-killing mechanism.
Remove the suppressor protein from the virus, Ding's research discovered, and the subject's body will quickly eliminate the virus using the RNAi process, which sends out small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) to kill the disease.

Aaaaand it's back to being screwy. And I cancelled my appointment since it was seemingly normal for a few hours.UPDATE, THREE HOURS LATER: And now it's back to "normal". This has been a weird weekend.
Stumbled upon this thread and figured was a good enough time to finally register to post after a few years. Noticed the same issue as you and others around the same time mostly with Steam but can't say about the others as of those listed I only use Google otherwise. Web wise and through their front end it's been sluggish to non-responsive but on downloads everything is full speed. Doubt it coincides with their year end sale as it wasn't a issue during prior events. Usually see cdn2.* throttling for a few seconds instead of just loading as it should do. Figured it was just my AV going wonky lately so nice to see it wasn't that.I only noticed the issue after I swapped out gateway units back on the 9th or 10th as my old 2700B finally died after 7 years. I wasn't going to wait on a replacement ps so just swapped in one of the newer 4111N's off the shelf that weekend and that's about the only site I've noticed issues with so far from your list. Although one night on a heavy download on Steam it reset the unit until I adjusted their line speed setting. Just chalked it up to using the unit as a router now unlike previously when I used the 2700 as a bridge to a router.
you can still technically use the 4111n as a bridged type of modem. just put your router behind it and go into the 4111n and specify your router as a dmz+ device and reboot both.That's what I do with a 2701HG-B now and I have a dual-wan hotbrick router.

Cat Donuts Get Tropical For Summer Wonder Festival
We don't need to tell you about how much we love Donyatsu, Japan's ridiculously awesome blend of cats and pastries. More recently, it's been all kinds of animals and pastries! Okay, not all kinds, more like "several variations of cats and also a bear that vaguely looks like a cat as well." BUT WHO CARES so cute. They tend to release special variations for Wonder Festival: the first time around it was a Vampire Donut Cat, and this past winter it was Armored Donut Cat.

Along with what the others said, if you are going to post a butt-load of information like that all at once, at least seperate it better into paragraphs or something that resembles infomation someone would want to actually read, rather than a cluster-fu*k of words.
I give you some credit b/c about half of it all was seperated into proper sections.

Squats with a smith machine are squats. You can argue that they're not as effective as free weight squats, but I would argue that they're more effective than leg pressing, extending, etc, for building mass.
Lighter reps and lower weight to get cut? Is that really still going around?
You know ten times more at fifteen than I'll bet 98% of the members on this board knew. Certainly, you know more at fifteen than I did at fifteen. Some of what you know is wrong, but you'll learn.
The first thing to learn is most articles in glossy magazines about lifting contain terrible advice.
Read the training articles here, and compare them to the article you read.
Squats work better than supplements.
"You know, if I thought like that, I'd never put more than one plate on the bar for anything, I'd never use bands or chains, I'd never squat to parallel or below, and I'd never let out the slightest grunt when I lift. At some point in your lifting career (assuming you're planning on getting reasonably strong and big), you're going to have to accept that most people think you are some kind of freak." -Sensei
"You're wrong, and I have a completely irrelevant pubmed abstract that may or may not say so." - Belial

Second, please bitch slap your English/Writing teachers when you get to school tomorrow.
i can just picture someone putting the bar on their neck squatting... i know its already been mentioned... but HOLY SHI*! someone is gonna die that way.
I'm gonna have to go against what most of you are saying about squatting with smith (sorta). IMO in terms of size, squats on Smith will give identical results to regular ones. I'm talking about strictly training for leg size here. The Smith will not give you the full benefits of the compound movement (specifically lower back and hips I believe), nor will it increase your overall strength like a regular squat will. I also believe chris mason once said your upper body WILL get bigger if you squat. This idea would diminish if you use a Smith.
In conclusion, regular squats are overall > smith squats, however in terms of leg size solely, Smith squats are fine.

Is Barnes & Noble Going the Way of Borders
Manish is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With its announcement Tuesday that it is exiting the color tablet business, Barnes & Noble (NYSE: BKS) has finally surrendered the multimedia tablet market to its much larger and well-capitalized rivals. This is a setback for its CEO William Lynch, brought on just three years ago to change fortunes at the struggling book retailer by making it competitive in the tablet business. Instead, Lynch and the company have discovered that the tablet business is even more competitive than the retail bookstore business.
Rising EBITDA losses for FY 2013 from its NOOK segment have finally caught up with slowly rising profits from its retail and college bookstores segment (see chart). In the latest April quarter, the loss at B&N's NOOK segment wiped out the profit from the bookstores segment, resulting in an overall EBITDA loss of $122 million for the company. Even last year's investment of $300 million by tech giant Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) for a 17.6% stake in the Nook business, valuing that segment alone at $1.7 billion, seems to have not helped.
Who stands to gain
This is only a small investment for Microsoft, and not of much consequence to its shareholders. However, rumors that Microsoft could buy B&N's e-book business for $1 billion, if proven true, could be a positive for both Microsoft and B&N shareholders. Given that B&N's market-cap at Tuesday's close was $934 million, the benefit to B&N's shareholders is obvious, even if the e-book business purchase price ends up well below $1 billion.
Microsoft shareholders also stand to benefit from such a deal. After the purchase, Microsoft would most likely discontinue the capital-intensive and highly competitive hardware manufacturing side of the NOOK business, integrating the NOOK bookstore and apps ecosystem into its Windows 8 platform. It would get immediate access to Nook's 7 million active content subscribers, whom it can target with Surface tablets. Furthermore, Microsoft would own a digital book business and a robust NOOK ecosystem without having to build it from scratch, thereby enabling it to mount an effective challenge to Amazon and Apple in the e-reading market.
Among NOOK's tablet rivals, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stands to gain the most from B&N's exit from the color tablet business, with its Kindle Fire family of tablets. While Apple's iPads are decidedly superior in design and ecosystem, and dominate the market with a 40% market share, even the cheapest iPad Mini -- starting at $329 -- is priced much higher than the Nook and Kindle tablets priced in the $199 and below range, and are simply out of reach for many first-time, budget-conscious consumers. Moreover, Amazon's Kindle and B&N's NOOK tablets are the most often compared in online reviews due to the similarity of product features and price points. It seems likely that with this latest development, Amazon will lose no time in flexing its marketing muscle to take-over a good portion of the market share left open by B&N's exit.
Top funds sold prior to the drop
B&N was brought to our attention last month when our analysis of the collective buying and selling activity by 79 of our hand-picked legendary or guru fund managers ranked its stock at the bottom, at a GuruRank of 1.0 on a 1-to-5 scale (source: GuruFundPicks.com). Taken together, these top fund managers sold 0.88 million shares in the latest available March quarter, a sharp 31% reduction from their 2.87 million share position in the company at the end of the prior December quarter.
Our take
Where does B&N stock go from here? A B&N minus its Nook e-reader and tablet devices looks eerily similar to the now-defunct Borders Group, a rival bookstore chain that had to close its doors in 2011. But current B&N shareholders need not panic.
At prices in the $15-$16 range, its shares now trade at 0.14 times sales and 1.5 times book value, well below the 1.0 and 1.9 average for its peers in the diversified retail group (based on financial data from Zacks.com). Also, its only pure-play retail bookstore peer, Books A Million (NASDAQ: BAMM), is trading at just 0.08 times sales and 0.4 times book value, while online rival Amazon's shares are trading at 1.9 times sales and 14.6 times book value.
Using even Books A Million's multiples -- a conservative assumption, given B&N's far better competitive position -- would value B&N's bookstore business alone at a minimum of $300 million to $500 million. The possibility of Microsoft buying the e-Book business puts an effective floor on the stock in the $13-$15 range. And the upside potential is high, given that the buyout could be as high as $1 billion or more.
Furthermore, the stock is ripe for a short-squeeze once the selling is over. B&N's short interest is up to 7.4 million shares, accounting for 28% of the outstanding shares. We believe that with limited downside and a potentially high upside, the risk-to-reward ratio for the stock is attractive here, and we would start scaling into it, adding more as it dips below $15 towards the $13 range that we consider to be a floor for the stock.

Jim Cramer's Mad Dash: HAIN WWAV XYL
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Hain Celestial Group (HAIN) are slumping over 10% Wednesday after the company reported in-line earnings per share but missed revenue estimates.
"This was not a clean quarter," TheStreet's Jim Cramer said. The co-manager of the Action Alerts PLUS portfolio acknowledged the stock, one of his faves, could "be rocky for awhile" as a result.
However, he also pointed out that while all stocks do go down, the long-term story for Hain Celestial is not over. Consumers will continue to eat natural and organic food in what is being viewed as a secular trend of eating and living well.
Cramer said he will have CEO Irwin Simon on his CNBC "Mad Money" TV show tonight to discuss the quarter and the company's future plans.In other stocks, he suggested investors be aware of the potential margin erosion that the rising price of almonds may cause for WhiteWave Foods (WWAV) because of the continuing drought in California. That drought is affecting other companies, including the ethanol companies, Cramer added, so shares of water technology provider Xylem (XYL) have been moving higher.

TEAMS: Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers
LOS ANGELES -- Behind a concentrated team effort, the Los Angeles Clippers easily handled the visiting Sacramento Kings on Saturday night, 116-81, at Staples Center. Seven Clippers scored in double-figures, but none more than reserve guard Jamal Crawford's 17 points as Los Angeles head coach Vinny Del Negro emptied out the bench. Ten Clippers played between 17 and 29 minutes, and Los Angeles never let Sacramento back into the game after building a big early lead. "I said to the guys, I've never played on an Olympic team, but it seems like that's how this is," Crawford said. "Very balanced, guys really unselfish. We have to do it by committee and that's what we do." The Clippers (10-6) won for the second consecutive game after a surprising home loss to New Orleans on Nov. 26, while Sacramento has lost three straight and 12 of 16 games to open the season. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe each had 14 points for the Clippers, who sho...
