Travel >Travelodge Central San Francisco Hotels
1707 Market St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9410337.780950 -122.411937
worst customer service ever!!! – the room seemed okay but kinda had a smell. it also seemed like a pretty good value since all of the surrounding hotels were charging well over $100.00 every thing went okay untill my credit card statment came in and I was over charged twice. instead of being charged the 49+tax that they stated I was charged $77.00 two times. when I called and spoke with the owner she was extremlly rude. she would not let me talk and she continued to yell over me. the problem was never resolved and the room was definatly not worth the $154.00 i ended up paying. I will never go back and if you do go Watch your credit card statments!!!!!
Dear Amber,
Thank you for putting up your concerns on CitySearch regarding your stay at the Travelodge Central. It disheartens me that you did not enjoy your stay with us as our goal is to provide good customer service and make sure that ALL guests are satisfied. Please allow us to make up for the lost ground ? I shall extend to you a promotional code which can be only used by you from our website ? www.StaySF.com/central.html. This code will allow you to pick a date of your liking (weekday or weekend) and give you an additional personal 20% discount on your next stay. What you can do is to email me personally your intended stay dates in San Francisco and I shall ensure that this promotional code is created and sent to you via email. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com. Also I would love to clarify our charges that we charged you for your stay ? you had been charged a total of $67.87 which includes room rate ($49 + tax ? 15%) and parking fees which was $10 + tax.
I'm I in Hell?? – Dirty hotel, horrible bedding, poor security, bad part of town, no ammenities, I slept in my clothes for my own health and well being. yikes!!! One night was more than I could take. The only thing that was acceptable was the guy that checked me into the motel was named King and he was really sweet.
Think twice on this place please!
Unsafe, dirty, low end motel – I travel for a living and I am very use to staying in great place and not so great places. This is the first hotel that I was scared to stay in. After 25 years of corporate travel, I came to San Fran from Maui for a medical emergency and was forced to pick a quick inexpensive hotel. I booked thorugh online booking site after I got to the hotel and saw the criminal activity in the parking lot I begged the cab driver not to leave them there!
I checked out the next morning after being awakened all night by men screaming and fighting and girls working their trade. The inside was dirty, burn holes in the bedding, no shampoo, stained carpet, need I say more. The worst part of San Fran. Unless you have your own personal security detail traveling with you, pay alittle more and get somewhere SAFE.
Great Location – Considering what other hotels charge for rooms and parking, the San Francisco Central Travelodge was a bargain and a half! The large parking lot provided ample space for parking. This is irregular for hotels with car ports in San Francisco, as most are usually congested and cramped. Checking in and out took only a matter of minutes and the clerks at the front desk were quite responsive to my interrogation of places to visit, dine, shop, etc in the city. One major pro to this hotel was its location. Being in the Castro, with the Mission neighborhood only a few blocks away, and walking distance to Union Square, this hotel put me right in the heart of the city. Taking the trolley, which starts practically in front of the hotel, got me to Fishermans Wharf in less than twenty minutes! On a side note, the Mission is home to the FINEST Mexican cuisine. Make sure to try a burrito at Pancho Villa, a local tacqueria. This was a great place to stay.
Budget lodging in the eclectic Castro district. – The Scene
This basic maroon-colored motel is centered on its parking lot. It is located close to the city's vibrant and multicultural Castro District. Although it doesn't have much to offer by way of amenities, its affordable rates make it popular with tourists on a budget. It is within walking distance to Union Square.
The Details
Guest rooms include large beds and TVs for late-night movie watching. The remodeled Deluxe Rooms offer a bit more style, with Southwest colors and light wood furnishings. Traveling families should note the availability of several child-friendly accommodations. Known as Sleepy Bear's Den, they include small play tables and bright color schemes. Complimentary continental breakfast and weekday "USA Today" are offered in the lobby. A popular lounge and piano bar is located right across the street.

the best advice I ever gave........
Our words are very important....beyond showing what's really in our hearts, they create. God spoke a word....and it happened. What we speak not only shows that stuff which is deep down in our hearts but when we speak them they create....sometimes things for good, sometimes things for evil....as we sow our words, we reap the fruit of those words.
There was a man in my life a while back (my pastor at that time) who told me I had never ever had an original thought in my life........and that I had stolen everything I ever taught or preached from someone else. I was totally devastated. There were many terrible destructive things he told me but this one was up there at the top along with telling me that when I served the body, I always had to do it alone because I had no life to give anyone.....no wonder I was a spiritual wreck after 5 years of that.
Be all you can be?
Because I believe so strongly that God has placed special gifts in each one, and in such a variety, I also believe we will keep discovering those gifts for the rest of our lives. My strongest encouragement to everyone is to follow your heart and discover your gifts.
Free to be......what?
Picking up where I left off last time...... Jesus has set us free to be what he has called us to be. Not only has He called us to be something but He has designed us specifically for that, gifted us to be that, equipped us for the task in every way and has placed that desire in our hearts, that pull, that thing that niggles inside us, that we can't get away from till we've made the choice to take that next step towards what He has for us.
The Call
Picking this up from yesterday, us born again Christian type folk, have really done a number on the capital "M" Ministry thing. When we talk about God's Call on our lives, it has somehow been religious-cized into our call by God into some sort of full time religious service.....whatever individual interpretation we put on that one.
Full Time Ministry!
Once upon a time....in a Galaxy far far away....Satan concocted this glorious scheme....if he couldn't stop people from meeting the Lord, what he could do is separate God's people into the spiritual haves and have nots, just as he did in the physical....the haves and have nots, the rich and the poor, the educated and the uneducated, the suits and the blue collars......(hopefully you can begin to see where this is going).
Not to worry!
I don't even know who coined the "Not to worry!" phrase but it sure is biblical. Mt 6:24-34 is a great read where we are encouraged "Do not be anxious...." Maybe a little bit easier to say than to do?
This past weekend, I kept getting what I am about to say in so many different ways.... impressions during my morning time with the Lord, scriptures I read, my daily devotional readings I do, impressions from within and without....it was just there all the time.
This past weekend, I kept getting what I am about to say in so many different ways.... impressions during my morning time with the Lord, scriptures I read, my daily devotional readings I do, impressions from within and without....it was just there all the time.
What do we say?
I was talking about what we think yesterday.....incredibly important. I encouraged you to think about Jesus. Tozer said once "Make your thoughts a sanctuary in which God can dwell". God dwells in our hearts. That is why Satan wants to steal our hearts or destroy them. It is the dwelling place of God and Satan hates God. Because he hates God, he hates you. He wants to have your heart.
What do we think?
I've been thinking these past few days.....did you know it is dangerous to think? Did you know that "as a man thinks in his heart, so is he".... What that means, simply, is that if any one of us wants to know what's in our heart, what's really in our hearts... then just think about what you think about! Like I said, it can be dangerous if we are honest about what things we think about....scripture says "think on these things" (check out Philippians 4:8).....
I am excited this morning. The house just emptied out and all the breakfast stuff is cleaned up and I have a few minutes to write.....finally getting back to this being born again thing again. Last time I wrote was back on January 2, if you need a little background for what I am about to try to say.
There was/is a popular Christian song where we ask God to "Open the eyes of our hearts, Lord". We really need that. We really need the eyes of heart to be opened so we can see!

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

High doses of vitamin C (to bowel tolerance) as well as internally *some* say, parsley infusions and wild carrot seed are said to help in this situation. There are herbs, but the way you need to take them it's similar to chemo in terms of the destruction in the body....most herbalists agree if you really can't have the baby then it's actually a better, safer option to use a pharmaceutical.
Good luck, mama. Let me know if you need more info.

NewsPress Release: 2/14/2001Marlboro College Gives FES Students Taste of Higher Ed
MARLBORO, VT - On February 7th, Marlboro College, working with the Foundation for Excellent Schools (FES), brought kids from schools around southern Vermont to the Marlboro campus. "The goal of the day," said Carrie Weikel, director of student activities at Marlboro, "was to help kids that might not have 'college' in their vocabularies to envision themselves on a college campus." Activities, including meeting college students and faculty, eating in the dining hall, and touring the facilities, ran for half a day.
"A day on a college campus is a special day for FES middle school students," said Missy Wilkins, mentoring coordinator for the Vermont Excellent Schools Project, a division of FES. "It helps FES students learn more about what college has to offer - now while they are still young and can set goals and aspirations on becoming a college student. A day on a college campus can spark interest in a dream that otherwise might never have been considered."
Based in Cornwall, Vermont, the Foundation for Excellent Schools is a non-profit organization committed to improving student performance in low-income schools. Working in 23 states to help their network of affiliates reach the goals in their Action Plans, FES's record in promoting school improvement has led to support from several prominent foundations.
"The kids had a good day," Weikel said. "One girl said that she was excited about the way Marlboro students seem to take charge of their education, and how their interests matter. Another girl said she now knows that she wants to go to college; she'll be the first in her family. One boy was just really surprised to see how their tour guides knew everyone on campus and said hello to them."
The entire Marlboro College community got involved in this event. Sophomore Matt Doyle played his harp and told the kids a story at lunch, then talked with them about their day. Sophomores Choya Adkison-Stevens and Dan Worthing acted as tour guides, showing the students the campus and talking with them about life at Marlboro. Several other students spoke about their lives before Marlboro, and the path that had brought them to college. Dana Holby, professor of dance at Marlboro, taught a sample class, telling the kids about the different kinds of dance she taught, and about scholastic life on the mountain. "They saw that college isn't just reading, writing, math and science," Weikel says.
Marlboro College is a learning community unlike any other in the country. Marlboro is also distinguished for its philosophy of self-governance, its tradition of academic rigor and excitement, and for its curriculum, self-designed, tailored to the individual, and taught in very small classes and one-on-one tutorials. Located on a beautiful 350-acre rural campus in Southern Vermont, Marlboro offers its 270 students an 8:1 student/faculty ration and a strong foundation in the liberal arts. For more information on the College, please call 802-257-4333, or look online at www.marlboro.edu.

Can't Sleep? Why Insomnia Shouldn't Be Ignored
Chronic sleep problems can be a sign of sleep apnea or other medical issues, particularly in women.
Video: Sleep Apnea
Your husband snores. Your kids are up half the night. You're worried about a big presentation at work. It's no surprise you have insomnia; the real shocker would be not feeling tired at the start of the day. A 2007 National Sleep Foundation survey found that nearly two thirds of women said they got a good night's sleep only a few nights a week; 29 percent took sleeping pills or other sleep aids regularly. Eighty percent said they don't slow down when they're tired. Most just prop their eyes open and get through the day. (This year, the economy may be making matters even worse. The sleep foundation's latest survey, released today, found that nearly a third of Americans are losing sleep because they're worried about the economic crisis and its implications for their personal finances.)
While soldiering on sleepily may be the only solution at times—new parenthood and sleep deprivation often go hand in hand, for instance—there are medical options and other ways to address many sleep problems. Unfortunately, you can't count on a primary-care doctor to know how to help. "You'll confront a bunch of doctors who either don't know about sleep problems or have an understanding that is antiquated," says Andrew Krystal, director of the sleep research lab and insomnia program at Duke University Medical School. Finding a knowledgeable provider is key, he says.
There's good reason not to ignore insomnia: It often signals other medical or psychiatric problems, particularly in women, and a savvy practitioner may diagnose and treat an underlying problem that would otherwise escape detection. Evidence also suggests that people who consistently get too little sleep may be at risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Women are about twice as likely as men to suffer from major depression during their lives, and it's nearly always accompanied by difficulty sleeping. Women also suffer from anxiety disorders more frequently than men, and lack of sleep can become a focus of anxiety. That can create a vicious cycle of sleeplessness and worry that leads to chronic insomnia, says Barbara Phillips, director of the sleep center at the University of Kentucky. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a severe form of premenstrual syndrome that afflicts up to 8 percent of women, brings sleepless nights for some as well.
Perhaps the most often missed medical condition that can cause insomnia in women is obstructive sleep apnea. OSA occurs when people stop breathing momentarily during sleep because their airway becomes blocked when muscles in the throat relax. They may briefly wake up dozens of times a night to breathe, though they generally won't realize it. A contributor to heart disease, sleep apnea has many causes, including anatomical problems in the jaw or throat, obesity, and muscle laxity, which increases with age. Before menopause, women are half as likely to have sleep apnea as men; once past that stage, the sexes get it in equal numbers. Declining levels of estrogen and progesterone may be partly to blame for the age-related jump. Research shows women who are using hormone replacement therapy are less likely to have it.
Doctors who are accustomed to diagnosing sleep apnea in men—in whom the most common symptom is snoring, not insomnia—may miss the signs in women. As a result, women with sleep apnea and insomnia are sometimes misdiagnosed as depressed when, in fact, they are not, says Meir Kryger, chairman of the National Sleep Foundation. In such cases, antidepressants are unlikely to improve symptoms of either sleep apnea or the accompanying insomnia, he says.
Treating an underlying condition won't necessarily cure a sleeping problem, even if that condition was the insomnia's original cause, researchers have learned. That's another reason experts stress the importance of seeking help. If you have sleeping difficulties for more than a month, consider seeing a doctor, preferably at a clinic that specializes in sleep disorders. (To find one in your area, you can go to sleepcenters.org.) A specialist may do a complete work-up and identify medical problems that have been keeping you from getting the restful shut-eye you need. If you turn out to have sleep apnea, a doctor may fit you with a device that delivers pressurized air through the nose and helps keep your airway open.

With the project, we should also have a public forum for people to speak after roll call.
Mr. Strang: We will start it next week.
- Director's Report
Ms. Kent: We lost a very dear member of our own: the Board's Secretary Connor Spaeth passed away during summer. Let's keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
The Board observed a moment of silence for Mr. Connor Spaeth.
Ms. Kent: We have had some staffing changes: Ms. Patti Kish retired in June and we bring in Ms. Marci Black as a temporary help in the Fitness&Wellness area.

There will be push from the campus for something that does not directly benefit the students. The Steering Committee does not have an official standing to make decisions, but it will advocate for students.
If you hear about the complaints about sauna, it is important to understand it is a small, but very vocal group of members. You can tweet or respond to FB postings, but don't respond in your formal capacity as a Board member.
GMP (Guaranteed Maximum Price) came back over budget. Therefore there will be another round of value engineering. Currently both the pool and the tennis courts are included in the base budget.

Riding on a rickshaw, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Rickshaw, the traditional eco-friendly, non-motorized vehicle in Bangladesh . Japanese word rickshaw refers to Jin-rickshaw. It is a popular transportation in West Bengal and around Bangladesh since 1938. First time it was a vehicle of the high society but now has becomes common transportation of middle class. Bangladeshi rickshaw is artistic decorated by plastic flower, ornaments and rickshaw art. These arts are done by enamel colors, usually bold and vivid. At the back of rickshaw there are beautiful paintings of grameen scenarios and Bangladeshi movie stars. After independence, we witnessed the paintings portraying the Liberation War. The forms of art changes with time. By emerging of the digital technology, the rickshaw art now facing the struggle of existence The rickshaw artists are illiterate and have no formal art education. However this high motif art is not well recognized by the schools of art. EARNINGS: By doing a whole days of hard work a rickshaw puller still can not earn proper money for quality existence. The average income to a rickshaw puller is 200 taka but it is higher than the garments. But rickshaw pullers can not lead a good life due to illiteracy and superstitions. They generally take unhygienic food in the roadside restaurants. However the rickshaw pullers are not socially well recognized. They live in slums, generally don't have family planning and can not send children to school, thus thing then into street children. Bachelor rickshaw pullers live like homeless people whereas they are actually NOT homeless. Rickshaw pullers comes from the villages, mostly are economically marginalized but a huge chunk of the money is being redistributed back to the villages. PROBLEMS AND SETBACKS: The crude reality, Bangladesh government is now evicting the rickshaw from Dhaka with the help of World Bank. Already the rickshaw has been banned in the major roads to reduce traffic congestion. This policy is hampering the income of the rickshaw pullers without ensuring alternatives jobs. If complete eviction takes place, not only we will lose a heritage, but it will increase the crime by marginalized community as they will loose their income. Furthermore the rickshaw pullers live in a high risk of HIV/AIDS as they live far away from their families and sometimes get involved with unprotected prostitution. Riding on the rickshaw is not mere commuting for the Bangladeshis, but is also a pleasure ride for the foreigners. As there are a lot of commotions about pollution worldwide, so this eco-friendly vehicle is certainly a sustainable mode of transportation.

Hello Dhaka | Introduction video on markets in Dhaka city
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is the city of rickshaws and mosques, located on the bank of Buriganga River. This metropolitan city is the most densely populated city of the world, with a population estimated at over 14 million citizens making it the biggest city of the country. During the Mughal period it was called Jahangirnagar, and was renowned for producing the world's finest muslin cloth. The city was established on 7th century during the Buddhist kingdom of Kamarupa and the Pala Empire. A feature of the city is that most streets and avenues of Dhaka have markets, as wells as shops on both sides of the road. Dhaka itself is a market. From small street tea stalls to modern coffee shops, from bazaars to parks, from slums to megamalls, everywhere is touched by products and marketing. Old Dhaka has a history and tradition of community spirit, but new Dhaka is modernized and tends to lack this attractive dimension of the old city. Life in new Dhaka, shaped by the availability of international luxury products, parallels global culture with its emphasis on individualism. Above all Dhaka is a city that loves the life, traditions and culture of the Bangla society it has inherited. With the spirit of Jules Verne, the virtual journey "80+1 days around the Dhaka" would be arranged. Every day one market will be Live bits web cast through the Internet connectivity. During the Livebits broadcast global internet users and citizen of Linz will get to live the experience of a Dhaka Tour by overcoming time and space limitations. In a way the audience will be travelers in Dhaka via the Live Bits journey. In this way, surely it will prove again that we are all citizen of One World; we are members of same Global Family. In the Dhaka journey, along with market spot clips based on the goods sold and the popularity, the diversity of Dhaka life styles will be shown. Besides the markets, we will also show, via web castes the traditional entertainments found in the market places, such as live performance and practices. We will show, as a Livebits event, rickshaw riding in new Dhaka and from old Dhaka, traditional horse-car rides. Along with everyday Live Bits, same day Fresh bit video clip will be uploaded to the Net. Moreover, with the videos collected since 80+1 day's coverage, a complete video documentary will be that will be (80+1 =) 81 minutes long. The video, photographs with caption story would be available both in online as FLV streaming clip, DVD Rom, digital catalog and blogs. To do Live Bits high-speed wireless internet connectivity with portable devices, mobile phone and laptop will be used. Shahjahan Siraj Dhaka, Bangladesh

Bandwidth is primarily a memory bandwidth benchmark, but it can also measure network bandwidth. It measures the maximum memory bandwidth of each part of the memory system, including main memory, L1, L2, and L3 caches, framebuffer memory, and register-to-register. For many tests, it performs both sequential memory accesses as well as random memory accesses to provide a more real-world performance estimate.

Raptors GM Masai Ujiri says '[BLEEP] Brooklyn' at rally before Game 1 vs. Nets, later apologizes (Video)Dan Devine at Ball Don't Lie1 day ago
NOTE: The Instagram video below includes an instance of foul language. User/reader/listener discretion is advised.
After a five-year postseason drought, the Toronto Raptors returned to the playoffs Saturday, kicking off their Eastern Conference quarterfinals series against the Brooklyn Nets at home. The city's fans were extremely fired up for Game 1, with thousands flocking to Maple Leaf Square outside Air Canada Centre to watch the matinee affair on a huge outdoor screen outside the arena.
Evidently, Toronto general manager Masai Ujiri — imported in the spring of 2013 after winning Executive of the Year honors for his work with the Denver Nuggets — was pretty fired up, too. After addressing the amped-up crowd at the pre-game pep rally outside the ACC, Ujiri punctuated his remarks with a four-letter expletive to which I, personally, was first introduced as a lad by Van Halen. As we live in the age of smartphone cameras, the moment was, of course, captured and quickly shared via social media:
Well, then. Tell us how you really feel, Masai!
Knicks finish with 37 wins, just as projected by computer system that team made fun of before season
Heading into the 2013-14 NBA season, many observers and prognosticators expected the New York Knicks to take a step back from the 54-28 record they put up en route to winning the Atlantic Division and making it to the Eastern Conference semifinals last year. (I mean, when you add Andrea Bargnani in the offseason, you've got to take some type of hit.) Here at BDL, we pegged the Knicks at 49-33 — a five-game drop-off that would make it tough to maintain their spot atop the Atlantic, but still figured to keep them comfortably in the top eight of the Eastern Conference.
Others were a bit less bullish, picking the Knicks to fall closer to .500. One preview, though, raised an awful lot of eyebrows by projecting Mike Woodson's club to sink like a stone in the standings.
Rajon Rondo honors Boston Marathon bombing victims with 'Boston Strong' sneakers for finale
Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of two pressure-cooker bombs exploding near the finish line of the 2013 Boston Marathon, an attack that killed three people and injured 264 others. It was an unspeakable tragedy that shook Boston — and the country — to its core, and touched countless lives. But the city's response to in the aftermath of the attack — the tireless work of Boston police officers, firefighters and emergency personnel, the selfless heroism of civilians like Carlos Arredondo, etc. — also showcased the very best of the character and fortitude that Boston could offer.
The 10-man rotation, starring Patrick Beverley on his defense: 'I'd probably want to fight me too'
A look around the league and the Web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.
C: Sports Illustrated. Patrick Beverley tells Lee Jenkins what he wants his opponents to experience when he defends them — "It's going to be something you don't like. It's going to be hell." — in a predictably fantastic piece on what makes the hard-nosed point guard such an integral piece of the Houston Rockets' championship hopes.
Gregg Popovich 'really impressed' with Spurs putting aside Finals flameout, soaring to No. 1 seed
If the San Antonio Spurs beat the Los Angeles Lakers in their regular-season finale on Wednesday, they will finish the year at 63-19, tying a franchise record for wins. Even if they don't, they will enter the postseason this weekend as the No. 1 overall seed in the 2014 NBA playoffs, having earned home-court advantage in every series by virtue of posting the league's best record.
National Guard soldier returns from Afghanistan, surprises 8-year-old son on court at Suns game (Video)
The Phoenix Suns were eliminated from the playoffs on Monday night, but their 97-91 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies did still manage provide a heartwarming moment for one Arizona family.
During stoppages in pay at home games at the U.S. Airways Center, the Suns often hold a "Hot or Cold?" contest, in which a contestant is plucked from the stands, brought to the court and blindfolded, and then has to find the inimitable Gorilla, who is holding a pizza. The arena crowd is asked to help the contestant out by yelling "HOT" when he or she is close to the Gorilla, and "COLD" when he or she isn't. Find the Gorilla, get free pizza for a year. (This is a pretty solid deal.)
When 8-year-old Logan Bledsoe finally got close, though, he found something even better than the Gorilla or free pizza. (Which is saying something.)
NBA playoff picture update: What's still up for grabs on the last night of the 2013-14 season
The 2013-14 NBA regular season ends Wednesday, and all 30 teams will be in action on the final night of the 82-game campaign. For 14 squads, it'll offer an opportunity to say so long, farewell, auf wiedersehn and goodbye — until the draft lottery, at least. For the 16 teams that'll enter postseason play this weekend, it offers one more potential pitfall, one last night to survive without incident or injury before loading up for the long, arduous journey to hoisting the O'Brien trophy come late June.
That journey will begin with opening-round quarterfinal matchups, a number of which have yet to be officially determined and will be locked in on the final night of the season. Here's a quick refresher on what's up for grabs and left to play for as we head into the 15-game Wednesday that will set the table for the playoffs.
What we already know for sure
• The No. 1 Indiana Pacers, who will have home-court advantage for as long as they're alive in the Eastern Conference playoffs, will take on the No. 8 Atlanta Hawks.
Iman Shumpert shakes Paul Pierce to floor, throws down off-glass alley-oop as Knicks beat Nets (Video)
New York Knicks swingman Iman Shumpert's third NBA season has been a fairly sizable disappointment. Things started off poorly, thanks to a secret offseason knee surgery, and never seemed to get on track. He got mad at himself for unfocused play during the preseason and decided to get a , which seemed to have the Samsonian effect of turning him from a swaggering Johnny Bravo type into something more like, I don't know, a 6-foot-5 Piglet at points.
Tuesday night playoff table-setter: What's at stake in Nets-Knicks and Clippers-Nuggets
There are only two games on the NBA calendar on Tuesday night, as the league prepares for its annual regular-season-ending 15-game, all-30-teams-in-action smorgasbord on Wednesday, but they both have playoff implications.
Yep, that's what I said, Terrence Jones. (Did I stutter?)
Here's a quick reminder of what's at stake in Tuesday's TNT double-header:
New York Knicks at Brooklyn Nets, 8 p.m. ET
• If the Nets win, they lock up the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference and the right to face whichever team loses the battle for the third seed between the Atlantic Division champion Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls.
Here's Matt Bonner of the Spurs and Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys talking about sandwiches (Video)
I shared this in Friday's 10-man rotation when i first got a look at it, but that was apparently a super-hot leak, because when I went to go re-watch it on Monday, the link was broken. (Talk about your all-time classic Internet blunders!) Now, though, I'm glad to say that the clip's not only working, but that we can embed it and share it as it's meant to be seen. Here, then, is sharpshooting San Antonio Spurs reserve Matt Bonner — a noted teacher, comedic performer, inspiration of artistic endeavor and, most of all, lover of sandwiches — sitting down with legendary Geto Boyz MC Bushwick Bill to eat tacos as part of a new Web series, "Wrapping with the Red Mamba," for ESPN:

"The good news is none of the libraries are going to close," library system spokesperson Bonnie Saviers said.
Saviers said Washoe County library administrators have had to get creative when it comes to staffing the libraries and that hours of operation have been shifted in order to keep the system's 13 branches open.
"We have lost a lot of people," Saviers said, adding that she believes the library system will probably lose more employees as the economy continues to suffer.
Facing a $31.3 million deficit, the second-highest shortfall since the recession hit in 2007, the Washoe County Commission in May approved cuts of $337,000 to the library system. That budget passed by a 4-1 vote with Commissioner Kitty Jung casting the only dissenting vote, citing the cuts to the library system as too costly.
"I will not be voting for this budget," she said at the time, adding that she could not support it with a "clear conscience" because of cuts to local libraries.
"I am philosophically opposed" to the library system not being designated as a "core," or mandated, service, Jung said, which would have limited the amount of funding reductions. Libraries are vital to the economic recovery of the region, she added.
"There are no proposals this year to close any libraries," Saviers said Thursday morning.
The board of trustees for the library system met Wednesday to discuss possible changes in the hours of operation at several branches, including the Spanish Springs Library, but only voted to revise the hours at Sierra View Library in downtown Reno.
Effective Sept. 6, Sierra View Library, which is now open six days a week, will move to five days of operation.
"It will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday," Saviers said, citing staff shortages as the reason for the change in hours.
Saviers said minor changes to the hours of operation for the Spanish Springs Library have been proposed, but will not be voted on until September or October.
"It would just be a shift in hours," Saviers said.
Currently the Spanish Springs Library is open from noon to 8 p.m. on Wednesday. The proposal is to change the hours to 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and to keep just the drive-through open until 8 p.m.
"Library managers track usage by the hour," Saviers said. "It just makes more sense to open a little earlier."
The next library board meeting will be held Sept. 21 in Incline Village.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A car driving the wrong way struck a Metro Police cruiser head-on, and sent an officer to the hospital.
It happened around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday on Ellington Parkway near Briley Parkway. Two officers were in the cruiser when they were involved with a head-on collision with another car that was going southbound in the northbound lane.
One of the officers suffered minor injuries, and was treated and released from Skyline Medical Center.
The other driver did not suffer injuries, and was cited for not having proper proof of insurance. Police said there was no sign that alcohol played a factor in the crash, but it remained under investigation.

The Civil Division is a state mandated service of the Sheriff's Office. Its purpose and function is to serve and execute the various legal processes issued not only by and for the several non-criminal courts of the state and its subdivisions, but also for the legal community and the general public. Departmental and divisional policies and procedures are consistent with Minnesota State and court case law. These policies are designed and developed to insure the accurate, expeditious, and judicious service and execution of all matters relating to civil process.
Deputy Sheriffs are public officers entrusted to perform specific duties that contribute to the administration of justice. The purpose of service of civil process is to give notice to a defendant of the commencement of a legal action or a proceeding. Although any private citizen over 18 years of age can serve process if they are not party to the action, Sheriff's Offices are asked to serve process because of their traditionally good record keeping practices and professional service.
Specific types of civil process...
Property Execution:
The purpose or function of the property execution is to satisfy a judgment by the seizing of property. In most cases the judgment will be for the payment of money, The Sheriff will either seize cash, personal property or real property or conduct a public auction to convert the property to cash. Although we are essentially acting as agents for the judgment creditor in the action, our activities will be performed in a neutral, unbiased manner.
The Sheriff seizes only property in which the debtor has an interest in, and seizes only that interest.
Order of Seizure:
An order of seizure is used to seize specified items of personal property whose ownership and possession is disputed. A final judgment will usually direct the disposition of the property to a specified party,
Both of the above referenced processes are "provisional remedies" which means that although they are court orders, they are pre final judgment. Any property seized is taken into the Sheriff's custody and held by him until the disposition is ordered by the court.
A two-part process -
Civil Arrests:
Except as provided for In the Family Court Act, a civil arrest can only occur with a warrant or other written direction from a court. The court of record has the power to punish for civil contempt. A Warrant of Arrest may be Issued where a judgment debtor possesses or controls property and is concealing himself or about to leave the state. A warrant may also be issued where a party has disobeyed a subpoena.

The New Veganism
A Chia Pudding Primer
Gena Hamshaw of the blog Choosing Raw eats a mostly raw, vegan diet without losing time, money, or her sanity. Let her show you how to make "rabbit food" taste delicious and satisfying every other Thursday on FOOD52.
Today: It's so much more than just a plant -- Gena introduces us to ch-ch-ch-chia seeds with a recipe for Blueberry Cardamom Chia Pudding.
"Do they make your hair grow?"
I've just been talking to a friend about chia seeds, and I'm not surprised when a reference to the famous chia pet comes up. (Ch-ch-ch-chia!) My friend is amused when I tell him that, in fact, the chia seeds I love to eat and the chia seeds used on chia pet planters are one and the same.
"Wow," he says. "You eat those?"
Believe it or not, I do. Chia seeds are one of my favorite foods; I use them in baked goods, in smoothies, and, most often, in puddings. And I'm not the only one. These small, dark seeds are darlings of the nutrition world right now. While I can't promise you that they'll make your hair grow, I can assure you that the current chia craze is legit: chia seeds are nutritionally rich, handy in all sorts of food preparation methods, and, if you know what to do with them, very delicious.
At this point, you've probably seen Salvia hispanica at a specialty grocery store, a Whole Foods, or in a magazine. If you didn't, you might have come across them in the book Born to Run. In it, we learn that the Tarahumara people, who are renowned for their superhuman endurance as distance runners, have been making "chia fresca" drinks (think lemonade pudding--weird, but not in a bad way) for ages.
Why? It may be because chia seeds, like tapioca pearls, absorb liquid, and can therefore be hydrating (and soothing to digestion.) They're very high in Omega-3 fatty acids, which are increasingly being shown to have a positive impact on cardiovascular health and to play a role in controlling inflammation. On top of all of that, they're a great source of plant-based calcium, and a good source of protein, which means that vegans, vegetarians, and folks who are just trying to reduce their meat consumption are especially fond of them.
That's the good news. The bad news is that chia seeds have a slight learning curve. If you just want to sprinkle them on top of some breakfast cereal, oats, or stir them into muffins or banana bread, great: unlike flax seeds, you don't have to chew chia seeds to get all of the nutritional benefits, and you'll probably find that they lend a pleasant crunch and texture to your food. That said, this is a pretty boring way to experience chia, if only because the coolest feature of chia seeds is that they plump up in liquid.
For this reason, the most popular way to enjoy chia seeds is in a chia pudding. For vegans, this usually means soaking chia seeds in a non-dairy milk, and using whatever add-ins (spices, fruit, cocoa) are desired. Chia pudding is totally hands off (you quite literally just have to soak the seeds, then stir them as they plump up), a quick and easy breakfast option, and delicious with fresh fruit. The only downside to be aware of is that different chia seeds absorb different amounts of liquid, so it can be a little tough to predict how much liquid you need for a pudding recipe. The most common complaint about chia pudding is that it turned out too runny or too pasty.
To avoid this, you simply have to use a little kitchen intuition. The desired texture for a chia pudding is something that resembles tapioca pudding; just imagine that the tapioca pearls are tinier and more fine than the usual. You should be able to spoon or pour the pudding; you just don't want it to get soupy. So, if you soak your pudding overnight and find that it's too thick, simply add more milk (I usually add in quarter-cup increments) till it's the right texture. If, on the other hand, your pudding is way too runny, just add two tablespoons of chia (and more as needed) till it looks right.
Once you get the process down, you'll find that chia puddings are one of the most versatile and tasty delights of the vegan food world. I've served chia pudding up to total skeptics (both ladies and gents), only to hear about how delighted they were with the results. As a full time student, I rely on chia pudding for easy, portable breakfasts: before I go to bed, I combine three tablespoons of chia with a scant cup of almond milk, some cinnamon, and a bit of maple syrup, then let it soak in the fridge overnight. In the morning, I pack it up and take it to campus, where I pick up a banana or berries to mix in. It's a wonderful meal, and adds plenty of brightness to the pain of morning classes!
If that sounds a little boring to you, consider the following recipe, which showcases just how creative chia pudding can get. I've made countless chia pudding flavor combinations (you can find a good roundup here), including chocolate, pumpkin, and strawberry ginger. But this pudding, which features the surprisingly winning flavor combination of blueberry and cardamom, is a new all-time favorite. Sweet, spicy, and totally unexpected, this is a very unique and visually stunning way to enjoy chia seeds. Serve it with fresh blueberries and a little shaved coconut for breakfast, or enjoy a few spoonfuls for a light, healthy dessert. Whether your hair grows faster or not, you'll be glad you tried it!
Blueberry Cardamom Chia Pudding
Serves 4-6
1/2 cup chia seeds
2 1/2 cups almond milk (or rice, soy, or light coconut milk)
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 1/2 tsp cardamom
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
1 tsp vanilla extract

This is soooo yummy! Thanks for sharing!

I've got ground chia seeds on hand (Chia Fresh brand). I'm assuming these would work, but I might not need to soak it overnight...? Love this recipe!
over 1 year ago MsMora
Chia seed pudding has become part of our breakfast hit parade. It's delicious and perfect on so many different fresh fruits. I especially like a small dish of it when craving some kind of snack; it's both satisfying and good for you. Now that chia seeds are gaining in popularity, we can find it in the bulk aisle at our local New Seasons market here in Portland.
over 1 year ago LauriL
So yummy! Made it last night and had it for breakfast and some at supper!! Definitely going to experiment with these lil babies!
over 1 year ago TerryKes
So, is the chia seed considered a protein or is it a grain?
over 1 year ago Gena Hamshaw
It is a nut/seed, technically.
over 1 year ago Yet_another_David
Blueberry recipe sounds good. Recipes on the page the chocolate version links to ... not so much, but then not sure how much of a flavor/aroma palate I'm going to share with someone disgusted by the smell of cheese.
over 1 year ago ATG117
chia seeds upset my stomach. Does anyone else have this issue or, better yet, a solution?
over 1 year ago Gena Hamshaw
Alas, ATG117, this is true for some people. I'd try blending them up if you have a high speed blender. It could help.

Really looks simple and delicious! I've been trying hard to get some chia seeds into my diet! Good one! http://veganamericanprincess...

Although the slow second movement in A flat gives the impression of dreamy ease, it is also economical, and its return to the main theme through a foreign key characteristically saves space as it suggests leisure (one thinks of the slow movement of the Piano Concerto No 2). With the lyrical Allegretto grazioso we stay in A flat, and the F minor of the trio, with its syncopated accompaniment, is the last extended use of the tonic minor in the whole work.
The exuberant finale, Vivace, is in F major and its second subject looks like being one of those gloriously expansive Brahmsian themes in swinging triplets. But with the economy typical of this work, Brahms does not allow it to spread and it is soon invaded by terser action. At the end we feel that, although the sonata has been officially in F minor (Beethoven's 'barbarous' key), it has been composed more with pleasure than pain.
