The idea is to bring people together who believe in the sanctity of genuine, serious relationships, and are either in one or are looking to get in one; married or single. We rub minds and share ideas on how to make it work. Let's have fun...

Unholy LoveUnholy Love

Two young people, Labake and Ogidan were fond of each other. Without mincing words they were lovers. In the African tradition, particularly the Yoruba culture, such a relationship is wrong and abominable because they were stepsister and stepbrother respectively. The two lovers were unmindful of what neighbours might say as they were deep in their amorous affair. They were ready to even dare the gods in this ungodly relationship. CupidŌĆÖs arrow had struck the hearts of the duo. They didnŌĆÖt mind the fact that tongues had started wagging in the neighbourhood regarding their relationship. Labake was in her early 20s while Ogidan was in his mid 20s. OgidanŌĆÖs dad, Mr. Okikiola got married to LabakeŌĆÖs mum after his former wife left him unceremoniously. Mr. Okikiola already had six children from his former wife. The Okikiolas lived in a one-room apartment in Agege, on the outskirts of Lagos. Labake was a factory worker while Ogidan was a technician. Truly, Labake was beautiful, with a charming and enchanting frame. And she was loose, so loose it seemed the word was created because of her promiscuous lifestyle. Ogidan led a rugged, raw, bawdy and contemptuous way of life. He was a hemp smoker and drug addict. Woe betide you if you should fall for his ruse and give him a job! He had an unrepentant habit of duping his customers of their hard-earned money. He was all things bad! Mr. Okikiola was aware of the existing love relationship between his son and his stepdaughter but he pretended as if nothing bad was happening, ditto for LabakeŌĆÖs mum who turned deaf ears to rumours of the love affair. Labake dated other men despite her love relationship with Ogidan, and this always made him (Ogidan) angry but he always complained of such blatant betrayal of love. It was a crazy, frenzied and infatuated kind of love with dangerous and gloomy cloud looming behind. Ogidan, most times monitored Labake when he became suspicious that she was seeing other men.

Mr. Okikiola was a chronic drunk, who had been beffudled and besotted with drinks for the past 30 years, this was one of the reasons why his former wife left him and eloped with another man. It was a plain and open fact that all the young men, and even older men in the neighbourhood had tasted the forbidden apple of Labake to further confirm her legendary status in the world of prostitution.

One particular Friday evening, Labake came back from her working place and a bizarre drama ensued. Ogidan was fuming with uncontrolled anger.

ŌĆ£And where are you coming from around this time?ŌĆØ he asked, with a scowl. He was spoiling for a fight.

ŌĆ£From my place of work of course, or where else could I be coming from?ŌĆØ she snapped.

ŌĆ£YouŌĆÖre an *****, Labake! My mind tells me youŌĆÖre dating that supervisor at your working place. I swear by Ogun, the god of iron that the man is your lover too and IŌĆÖll show you how mean and bad I am! Come here let me see your underwear to know if thereŌĆÖs semen in it!ŌĆØ he sputtered.

ŌĆ£Let me tell you, Ogidan, I have my life to live,ŌĆØ she retorted, ŌĆ£you canŌĆÖt order me around. The fact that weŌĆÖre lovers doesnŌĆÖt make me your slave. IŌĆÖll use my womanhood the way I like.ŌĆØ

ŌĆ£No woman ever addresses Ogidan like that! YouŌĆÖll pay with your blood, you whore!ŌĆØ he replied, while clenching his iron-like fists. The foul smell of hemp and alcohol was oozing all over him. Ogidan had a physique like that of a bouncer or thug. He had strange tattoos all over his body. And he plaits his hairs in the fashion of a rastaman. Before one could say Ogidan, the young man pounced on Labake and beat the living daylight out of her. The whole neighbourhood were all out to placate and plead on behalf of the young girl but Ogidan was really furious and angry that he continued bashing her face, not minding the pleas and entreaties of people. All hell was let loose that eventful day. The battering and assault continued unabated. Ogidan was still pummeling the girl when their parents came back from their outing but there was absolutely nothing they could do. The fiery battle raged on and on. Labake suffered deep cuts on her face and she bled profusely. OgidanŌĆÖs clothes were torn like a mad manŌĆÖs apparel. Indeed, he was a mad man. When neighbours tried fruitlessly to stop the raging madness that was taking place they quickly contacted the police to quell the situation. The police arrived the scene about 15 minutes later to avoid calamity because of the dangerous drift of the fight. When the police got to the scene they promptly arrested Ogidan for assault, took him to the station and beat him black and blue. He was put in police custody for three days. After meting out the deserved punishment on him he was told to write a statement to be of good behaviour and not to lay a finger on Labake again.

ŌĆ£If you dare touch the girl again weŌĆÖll skin you alive!ŌĆØ the bespectacled Inspector warned the social miscreant, ŌĆ£Is that right?ŌĆØ

ŌĆ£Yes sir,ŌĆØ he answered in a guttural voice sounding like a gorilla.

When Ogidan got home that day another strange event took place. Labake sighted him but they didnŌĆÖt speak to each other. Something evil was definitely in the offing.

Labake came out of the room, clutching something in her right hand. She headed for the kitchen. Like a flash Labake opened a small tin in her hand and emptied the content in her mouth. She had swallowed a shaving cream which was poisonous. She wanted to kill herself by her action. Disaster, calamity and chaos suddenly enveloped the whole house as Labake staggered out of the kitchen in a fainting fit and collapsed right in front of her parentŌĆÖs room. It was like the whole house was on fire! The uproar was indescribable.

ŌĆ£Help! Help! Help! Neighbours help me!ŌĆØ screamed LabakeŌĆÖs mum. Mr. Okikiola ran out of the room too in total confusion. There was an unmistakable air of disorder in the environment. Labake started foaming through her mouth. Neighbours and other sympathizers scurried here and there. In a jiffy the young girl was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical attention. She was gasping for breath at interval on their way to the hospital. The medical team at Moonbrow Hospital was swift in action as she was rushed to the emergency ward. Drips were passed to her body and other medical treatments were administered to save the girl from dying. For three agonizing days the girl was on danger list. She was in complete coma. The fourth day when she recovered slightly, she told her mum the reason why she decided to kill herself.

ŌĆ£Mama, I want to tell you a secret.ŌĆØ Labake said to her mum.

ŌĆ£WhatŌĆÖs it my daughter?ŌĆØ she asked.

ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm pregnant for Ogidan. ThatŌĆÖs the real reason why I wanted to kill myself.ŌĆØ Labake said while coughing and hiccupping between her sentences.

ŌĆ£Oh, my God Labake!ŌĆØ her mum exclaimed, ŌĆ£You shouldnŌĆÖt have done that. Actually that kind of relationship is wrong. HeŌĆÖs your stepbrother. How are you feeling now?ŌĆØ The tears welled up in her eyes.

ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm not getting any better mamaŌĆ" I donŌĆÖt feel good.ŌĆØ She replied, shaking her head in a sorrowful manner.

Just then the young girl had a seismic and painful surge in her stomach.

ŌĆ£Doctor! Doctor! Doctor!ŌĆØ her mum screamed. Unfortunately before the doctor rushed to the scene Labake gave up the ghost. When the doctor arrived the ward LabakeŌĆÖs mum was shedding tears of sorrow.

ŌĆ£My daughter is dead, doctorŌĆ"ŌĆØ she wailed.

ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm very sorry about that Mrs. Okikiola,ŌĆØ the doctor said, ŌĆ£we tried our best, the damage was severe. Her colon and heart had been affected.ŌĆØ

Three days later Labake was buried. Ogidan heard about the death of Labake and didnŌĆÖt say a word or feel remorseful for the sudden loss. Another strange development arose in the family of the Okikiolas. Ogidan left home and headed for the burial ground six days later. On arriving at the place, Ogidan stood there for 15 odd minutes staring at her tomb. Then suddenly he drew out a sharp dagger from his inner pocket and stabbed himself on the chest. He collapsed instantly on the tomb and died screaming the name of Labake till he took his last breath.

ItŌĆÖs better we live our lives in an honourable and morally upright way to avoid disastrous consequences that would sadden us and put tears on our faces. May the good Lord help us.

The marriage quizThe Sustainable Marriage Quiz
By TARA PARKER-POPE

What does it take to sustain a marriage?

As I report in the latest Week in Review section, researchers are studying how people sustain their relationships by using them to accumulate knowledge and new experiences, a process they call ŌĆ£self-expansion.ŌĆØ Studies show that the more self-expansion a person experiences through their partner, the more satisfied and committed they are to the relationship.

To learn more about the science of sustainable relationships, read the full story, <uRL="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/02/weekinreview/02parkerpope.html?_r=1">ŌĆ£The Happy Marriage Is the ŌĆśMeŌĆÖ Marriage.ŌĆØ</uRL>

And to learn more about your own relationship, take the quiz below to measure how much your own relationship expands your knowledge and makes you feel good about yourself. The quiz was developed by Gary W. Lewandowski, Jr., associate psychology professor at Monmouth University in New Jersey.

Answer each question according to the way you personally feel, using the following scale. Answers range from (1) not very much to (7) very much. Then, add up your scores and check the scale below to see how your own relationship ranks. Not Very MuchŌĆ"Very Much

How much does being with your partner result in your having new experiences? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

When you are with your partner, do you feel a greater awareness of things because of him or her? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much does your partner increase your ability to accomplish new things? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much does your partner help to expand your sense of the kind of person you are? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much do you see your partner as a way to expand your own capabilities? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much do your partnerŌĆÖs strengths as a person (skills, abilities, etc.) compensate for some of your own weaknesses as a person? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much do you feel that you have a larger perspective on things because of your partner? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much has being with your partner resulted in your learning new things? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much has knowing your partner made you a better person? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

How much does your partner increase your knowledge? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Scores
60 and above ŌĆö Highly Expansive. You are gaining a lot of new experiences and reaching new goals as a result of your relationship. Chances are you have a happier, more sustainable relationship as a result.

45 to 60 ŌĆö Moderately Exciting. Your relationship has led to moderate improvements in your life and some new experiences. But thereŌĆÖs definitely room for improvement.

Below 45 ŌĆö Low Connection. Your relationship is not creating opportunities that help expand your knowledge and make you feel better about yourself. Make an effort to share new experiences with your partner to improve your relationship.Last replied by Showcase on Sunday, 02 January 2011
Making Him Love YouIsn't that part of the problem, Anwulika? If I get a nickel for every time I have heard women tell men that they don't communicate; whereas, half the time women expect men to be mind readers. He should know...we have been together this long. Can he say he didn't know? Clueless son of something! LOL. Making the vision plain makes life a lot easier for the messenger. I know a lot of women would not like the part about giving him some space. LOL.Last replied by Showcase on Wednesday, 29 December 2010

You have the last or next to last revision of the PB G4 with over a gig of ram, that's a very decent rig (a year old or less). If you can change machines every year, yes you are in fact the cutting edge. There are many G3 iMacs, iBooks and even older PowerBooks (think pre-titanium) still in use.

The LA Times Really Hates the Perot Museum
By Eric Nicholson
You can't blame the exhausted for taking a break during the holidays. Even museums, those time-honored institutions of high culture, need some time to decompress after a year's worth of hard-won spotlighted exhibitions. It's not that November and December cause a mass museum blackout. It just means a museum might take its own version of a nap instead of making its behind-the-scenes employees scramble to mastermind and organize a major exhibition. (And if you ever wander through a never-ending maze of museum offices, you'll get a feel for just how many type-A personalities it takes to run the show. By late November, they're all fairly worn at their otherwise steely seams.)
The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, with its usual breakneck pace of major shows, sometimes gives itself a breather after such a successful run of public enlightenment. The Modern has had a great year: We marveled at the soulfulness of American folk art, gasped at the creepy-charming genius of Walt Disney, swooned at the evolution of sculpture and the brooding compulsions of Francis Bacon. Now the Modern is yawning and stretching like an exhausted greyhound after a long, sweaty day at the races. Time for auto-pilot.
And the Modern can pull it off; its version of auto-pilot consists of throwing a bunch of pieces from its permanent collection up on the walls and letting the public get a rounded, narcotic dose of solid modern and contemporary art. These are the pieces the Modern normally has stashed away in storage, the pieces the Modern simply doesn't have the space to showcase year-round. You have to admire an institution that knows you can't keep a Pollock or a Motherwell locked up and gathering dust in some crate indefinitely. You'd be surprised at how many collectors and museums commit such a crime.
When the Modern brings out a selection from its permanent collection, which it has done for this millennium-straddling season, the non-event is a subtle windfall. It's a bit like taking a vitamin for the soul: undeniably good for your eyes and mind, a sharp reminder of the sheer volume of great art in this world that's ours for the looking if we can...just...get ourselves to a museum. Granted, a few early-career Pollocks and meditative Rothkos might not have folks lining up the way they did for the giant and controversial survey of Bacon's work, but this isn't a bitter pill to swallow. It's a Flintstones vitamin. It actually tastes pretty good as it boosts your immunity to ignorance and other modern-day viruses.
What the Modern chose to haul out into the light this round is curiously calming. Notable gems, certainly, but the aesthetic spectrum is so wide -- whispering Rothkos, quipping Lichtensteins, staring Shermans -- that the overall effect is that of a wash. Every piece is both tempered and put into perspective by the other works surrounding it. A Rothenberg horse gallops opposite a Guston peeping Tom; Richter's Italian auto zooms past Celmins' German bomber.
While this diversity isn't jarring or clashing, it doesn't exactly steer you into the focused zone. Walking through the museum is something like channel-surfing on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Sometimes you have to jerk yourself into consciousness in the face of one of those early Pollocks: "Ah, good ol' Jackson. Haven't seen his figurative stuff before...Oh, my God -- this is a figurative Pollock!" The personae of the artists are so disparate, the motivations and end results of each so liberated from the rest, that the works threaten to cancel each other. Sometimes you forget you're looking at the real thing by the actual maker.
But that aforementioned perspective is key. You may not feel your brain synapses crackling so much during the tour of the museum's cozy galleries, but afterward, some thoughtful lightbulbs sputter on, and an overall sense of an era sets in. It takes time to process something so complex and insidiously appealing as modern art, and since the museum refuses to bully and prod you with it, it's up to you to let the works speak for themselves.
But that's all postscript. Since built-in intensity isn't a luxury with general shows such as this, it's not a bad idea to home in on a few pieces and spend some time with them. Much like tossing the remote control aside once you've found a particularly compelling nature documentary or hockey game, walk through the whole, find the works that jolt your attention, then return to them. You may never get this quality time with this artist again.
I originally trekked out to Fort Worth to see the Philip Guston pieces in the show, since I've not had the pleasure of his one-on-one company before, but I ended up ditching Phil and hanging out with Motherwell. The Modern's Gustons aren't what I had hoped for; instead of brash cartoon cigars and white hoods and all kinds of psycho-social angst, I found one rather low-key painting with his familiar sprawling limbs and not much more. This is typical of a permanent collection show. You go to see the epitome of an artist's work and find instead what the museum bought on its own aesthetic whim.

Great! Glad to hear it. Gallery show website has now been updated. All the maps will be back up from the 10th of August to the 1st of September.
The gallery has a selection of artists who have work up on the walls when there's no specific exhibition. The gallery decided that they liked our show (most attractive and impressive show they've had so far - their words) so much that that they bumped those artists for all of August for us. They're not doing it to recoup money or any other motive. They just really like the art. So well done to the CG - you've impressed the gallery owners of Soho, NY!

50 ways to make money 41-50: How to make money by going green
Going green doesn't have to be expensive. You can make money when you take advantage of these environmentally friendly schemes – helping you to combat climate change and boost your bank balance.
41. Green shopping initiatives
Many big name shops give you loyalty card points if you carry out a green activity, such as recycling.
Tesco Clubcard
Tesco offers one green Clubcard point for every bag you reuse in stores and a point for every 10 items you buy online with the bagless delivery option.
Plus you'll also earn 100 points for recycling used printer cartridges.
Nectar card
Sainsbury's will give you one Nectar card point for every bag you reuse in stores.
You can also earn points by donating to Oxfam. Create a Tag Your Bag account at the Nectar website to earn an initial 100 points, and you'll receive a bag of personalised stickers to tag your items. You'll then get two points for every £1 your items raise in Oxfam.
Boots Advantage card
Boots offers Advantage card points when you recycle a mobile phone, digital camera, MP3 player or sat nav and up to 100 points for selected inkjet cartridges.
M&S and Oxfam Clothes Exchange
Marks & Spencer offers a £5 gift voucher to spend in store when you spend £35 if you donate unwanted M&S clothes to your local Oxfam. It's great if you're a regular M&S shopper, and it helps to reduce the estimated one million tonnes of clothes that go to landfill each year. The scheme also covers soft furnishings, including bed linen, towels, cushions, curtains and throws.

42. 'Scrappage' schemes
Trade-in or 'scrappage' schemes offered by private companies are becoming more common. Have a quick look on the internet when you need to get rid of any large item.
You should always shop around first to make sure you're getting the most competitive deal, though, even after factoring in the incentive.
Go further: Boiler reviews - find out which boilers we recommend
43. Apply for an energy grant
This idea won't directly 'earn' you money – but if you're considering installing energy efficient measures in your home, don't miss out on extra funding that may be available to you.
There are several energy grant schemes available, depending on your circumstances, that could help you to achieve long term financial savings on your heating and energy costs through projects such as cavity wall insulation, loft insulation and heating controls.
Go further: Energy grants - find out whether you're eligible for financial backing
44. Generate your own energy
If you have installed or are thinking about installing renewable technology, such as solar panels, you may also be able to make money by selling some of the green electricity you generate.
The scheme means households with renewable technologies receive money for every unit of energy they produce themselves.
You will need to weigh up the potential to save and make money through your microgeneration system against the initial outlay for equipment and installation, which can run to thousands of pounds.
You should also think about the suitability of the technology for your property and location.
Go further: Solar panels - find out whether solar panels would be suitable for your home
45. Grow your own, sell your own
Growing your own fruit and veg helps you to reduce carbon emissions by cutting food miles, also cuts your food bills and can be a good money-making opportunity if you've got excessive produce to sell.
The biggest challenge, after successfully growing your produce is finding a place to sell it. You could set up a stall in your front garden, local fête or local allotment association sale, or a school event. You could even contact local farmers to see if they'll sell your produce in their farm shop.
Go further: How to grow your own vegetables - read our comprehensive guide
46. Recycle your mobile phone
Choose between numerous mobile phone recycling schemes, including specialist websites such as Mazuma Mobile, Envirofone, Simply Drop and Fonebank. You can compare recycling sites to find out will pay the most at MobileValuer.
Go further: Mobile phone reviews - our guides will help you pick the perfect replacement
47. Recycle old CDs, DVDs and computer games for cash
It's almost impossible to estimate the number of old CDs, DVDs, computer games and other home entertainment items there are in the UK, but around 2,500 tonnes of CDs alone are thrown away each year.
Whether you're upgrading technology or want to revamp your collection, make money recycling old CDs, DVDs and computer games instead of throwing them away.
Try a website such as MusicMagpie. Get a value for your item – which needs to be in good working condition – by typing in its barcode number. Prices offered range from 25p to £1.38 for a CD.
48. Make money recycling old books
Don't leave unwanted or unread books on the shelf – pass them on to a new home and make some extra money. Websites including Amazon and GreenMetropolis let you sell second-hand books via their virtual bookstores.
With Amazon you list an item for sale, setting your own price. When it sells, Amazon receives an 75p completion fee, plus closing fee of 15% of the sale price. Pre-set delivery charges are also collected from the buyer, which you will receive as postage credit, minus a variable fee to Amazon.
With GreenMetropolis, you earn at least £3 for each old paperback, hardback or audio book you sell. Factor in postage costs for each item, though for larger books you can add postage costs on to the item's price.
Go further: eBook reader reviews - we rate the best devices for reading ebooks
49. Have a car boot sale
Alternatively, you could sell your unwanted odds and ends the old-fashioned way – at a car boot sale. It's a great way to make some extra money while reducing the amount of rubbish you throw away.
Buyers will expect to pick products up at knock-down prices, but car boot sales are a good opportunity to bulk-sell items unlikely to sell individually online. You can find your nearest car boot sale by visiting the online car boot sale directory Car Boot Junction. Your profit will depend on the products you're selling, but remember to factor in the cost of pitching your vehicle, which is usually between £5 and £20.
50. Sell the rest by auction...
Don't throw away unwanted items – you'll be throwing away the potential of earning some extra money along with it. Selling stuff through online auctions rather than throwing things away can make you money, save on potential transport removal costs and reduce the amount of waste you're sending to landfill each year.
The auction site eBay is the biggest and most recognised site of its kind, but other sites you can sell through include Play and Gumtree.

Psyched to see that Tony Bourdain stopped by Rain Shadow Meats in Seattle on last night's episode of "The Layover"! The place in incredible!! Spring for an extra fridge in your hotel room and stock up on their amazing meat products if you can! Tony had the mortadella there, which is also my personal favorite!
You can check out one of my earlier posts with more pics of Rain Shadow Meats here.

Tony snaps a photo of the shellfish tower at Le Dome. Photo by Tom Vitale.
Monday's episode in Penang is, in my opinion, one of the best shot, best edited episodes ever. It helped that we were in what cinematographers call a "shot rich environment"—where it seems that everywhere you point, there are bright colors, characters, beautiful things. The food is generally…
Read on for what to expect next from Tony and the ZPZ crew:
Field Trip by Anna Chai, Producer for The Layover Los Angeles
ZPZ Production, 19th Floor. 13 edit rooms. The Unity. Eric Lasby. By now, you know this is where editing happens.
19 is my natural habitat, so it was a shock when they asked me to work on the LA episode of "The Layover." As in, go to LA with the crew. Not just watch the footage, when the cards come back from LA? Is this some sort of trick? I assumed as much because 1) it's Anthony Bourdain and 2) do you remember the last time "No Reservations" filmed in LA?!
I'll tell you what happened — Anthony Bourdain got tasered by SWAT! He also ate chicken and waffles with Jerry Stahl and hung out with a mariachi band, but the taser demo is what I remember most vividly. Why go back to LA? What could possibly top that?!
August 2011. LAX. My colleagues and I are ready to make some television! We have 6 days to shoot over 30 locations. WWTD? First stop, In-N-Out Burger.
Day 1. Chateau Marmont. Bungalow 3. (Yes, that one.) Mr. Bourdain lays down some ground rules while we're here at the hotel. "Don't be an asshole." That means: don't gawk at celebrities, don't bother the guests, and don't point the camera at any famous people. Got it. This would prove to be good advice for the rest of our time in LA …
Day 2. While shopping for the ingredients needed to make eggs, crew member misreads "scallions" and buys scallops instead. Oops!
Day 3. Locals interview with Chef Ludo Lefebvre. Hilarious. (And like Randy Newman, he genuinely seems to love LA.) Later, we are informed that while filming Ludo on the median strip, set against a stunning street scene, people were smoking crack in the background. In the back of our frame! Allegedly.
Day 4. The crew shows up to film a drive-thru restaurant, only to find the pavement has been freshly sealed that morning …
Day 5. While filming b-roll of iconic LA, the crew encounters a grisly scene.
Beloved sidekick Oxy dead on the beach! (Identity confirmed by signature on Appearance Release, though DNA test pending.)
Day 6. The "marine layer" makes it meteorologically impossible to film a sunrise. Sorry!

Pie Sweet Pie5 reviews
First Reviewed By: toonsla
A couple of days ago I was heading north to meet my friends by the Corniche. That's when I remembered about the Facebook post of Jeddahfood.com mentioning Pie Sweet Pie. I stopped by quickly to give it a try.
Its exactly at the location as described, before Starvin and next to Domino's. It's on the corner of the building and a big window front makes it even more welcoming. On the outside there are couple of tables and inside runs a long counter by the window with high chairs and a couple of small tables, exactly like a cafe.
The display counter had a few pies on view and another buffet like table was stocked up with different loaves of bread. The big menu on the wall revealed that they not only have pies but also bread, buns, bagels and other kind of cakes. Since the name of the place focus on pies I thought i should try those.
I wanted to order a savory pie, but was told that I would have to wait some time, because they were not yet prepared and I should instead try some of those on display. The cashier ran me through those available, the Pecan Pie, Apple Pie, Banana-Macademia Pie and also a more local 'Dates' Pie. Those were, according to him, the best selling ones, and that's why they only had them on offer.I found it a bit strange that his suggestive selling technique, only left me with four options out of a very extensive menu, but there was little I could do, so I ordered one Apple Pie and the Banana-Macadamia Pie. For my drink I went for...
I asked about the other items on the menu, such as the KitKat Bread and Bagels and once again I was told, that those should be ordered in advance or the day before, so you could pick them up fresh!? The Cashier also mentioned that 95% of customers pre-order and drop by for take out, and not many actually chose to eat their Pie inside. I would have loved to get some Bagels back home, but based on his explanation, I was only going to be trying the two pies I ordered.
The Pies were re-heated back in the kitchen and when they were brought them to my table I noticed that the doily paper under the pie was now completely stuck to the bottom and was not easy to remove. I had to be careful not to accidentally eat some of the paper. The Apple pie tasted, despite the paper, quite good. Big apple chunks caramelized with sugar and cinnamon in a closed pie, the banana pie was more soggy and not really pie like. Maybe because of the re-heating the dough soaked up the mashed banana juice. The orange juice was fresh and ok.
Two pies and a drink for SR 25, not bad but also not really what I expected. Guess I have to call and pre-order before I go next time. This place might be good if you order bread for the next day, but then again, dont most people want to go somewhere and choose from a displayed variety of freshly baked buns etc? I feel undecided if I should return or not.
Toonsla won 500 SAR Worth of Vertigo Restaurant vouchers for this review for being the first person to review Pie Sweet Pie.

Very disappointing! First of all, I had to walk through tables full of men before I could approach the ordering counter. There was not much of a selection and the salty items have to be pre-ordered 2-3 days in advance. Not very convenient. The taste was nothing that was wow not even a taste that would make me go back. Sweet and Savoury (on Sari Street)is much better.

I stopped by there last week, and was happy to see a pie place in Jeddah. Having lived in the US, I am fond of pies, when they are done properly, of course. And their motto is "We do pie right", so I was like, that's perfect for me!
I got one chocolate pie, one creme brulee pie, and one raspberry pie.
I am sorry to say that I am utterly disappointed with their pies. The chocolate and creme brulee are open pies, and the raspberry had a pastry cover as well and the filling wasn't visible. I asked the gentleman if it was made with fresh raspberries, and he said yes, and that the raspberries were cooked. I only got it because he said it was made with cooked FRESH raspberries. Well, turns out, it was full of thick dry-ish jam, and there is no way cooked fresh raspberries would turn into a jam like that in the 15-20 minutes it would take to bake those small pies, unless jam is what went inside them in the first place.
As for the open-faced pies, the thickness of the bottom of the crust was greater than the thickness of the filling. Seriously, when have you ever seen that in a pie? And the filling itself? Chocolate filling was good. Creme brulee filling was in 2 layers; the top layer was the creme brulee layer, which is what is visible when you get the pie, but underneath was a thin chocolatey layer… since when does chocolate belong in something labeled "creme brulee xyz"?
Needless to say, I will not be going there again.

Actually MS does support the use of alternative shells. However you couldn't
and shouldn't expect that if you have a say Thunderbird shell that MS would
support that shell, just the pinnings under it. Just like they don't support
say, Lotus, but they do support the underlying OS API calls.
As for breaking things, it goes back to the same DLL point. If an app is
built on the concept that that shell would be there and has dependencies on
it, yes it will break. The only thing I can say to that is yeah, of course.
Most of the GUI admin tools from MS depend on those shell dependencies,
again, to that I say... Of course. However if you want to write your own,
you can. The Windows API core pieces are still there and fully exposed and
you don't have to use the Shell API calls and avoid the Shell DLLs. It will
take you a bit longer to write anything though I would expect unless you
have already built up your own lib.
There are many embedded and POS and other machines running Windows and not
using the Explorer shell. They are still called Windows machines.

I appreciate the technical explanation even though I knew, well, all and

You probably could have saved some time if you had read my relatively short
message fully and seen that I did acknowledge that IE is not part of the
kernel (which is really what you're trying to say) and that it's a part of
MS Windows as a software distribution. I'm fully aware that you can replace
the shell in windows.
However, IE and the windows UI is a part of MS Windows as a software
distribution and it's an essential part. I dare say that if you remove the
UI and DLLs of MS Windows, all you have left is a relatively crappy kernel
with a lot of software that won't work.
The MS Windows UI and Internet Explorer are a core part of the MS Windows
operating system. When you remove them, you break compatibility with many
of the available programs and I'd venture to say that Microsoft would not
support a highly modified system like the ones that you're describing.
One can remove the Glibc from any GNU/Linux distribution. I wish them luck
trying to run programs that are dynamically linked.
Is the Glibc a core part of Linux the kernel? Of course not.
Is the Glibc a core part of the GNU/Linux OS distribution? Yes, it is.
I think that for all of the technical explanations that you've given, you're
losing the argument on one simple phrase: software distribution.
p.s. Come on people. We went through the "what does an OS really
constitute?" argument back in like 1996. This isn't bloody kindergarten.

Help Launch The Young@Heart Prison Project!
Join Us in Support of this Transformative Project! Donate Today!
Dear Friends,
We're launching The Young@Heart Prison Project, a series of rehearsals and concerts in 3 prisons which will be recorded for a new live-from-prison album featuring Young@Heart singing with inmates.
Our goal is to foster a sense of hope among inmates, to provide them with an inspiring and transformative creative outlet, and to demonstrate that it's never too late to begin anew. But we can't do it without you. We need your support to raise $25,000 by November 15th to fund this project.
In 2006, the Young@Heart Chorus performed at the Hampshire County House of Correction. The concert was filmed as part of the award winning Fox Searchlight film Young@Heart. Newsweek film critic David Ansen picked the scene as his favorite cultural movie moment of the year. It was ours, too. We will return this year to make music with the inmates not just perform for them. Rehearsals with inmates will lead to 3 Y@H concerts for inmates, staff, and family visitors at all 3 facilities. The concerts will be filmed and recorded for a new live album.
Rehearsals have already begun. The concerts will occur in spring 2015. The album is slated for release in summer 2015. We need to raise $25,000 before November 15th to bring this project to life. We hope you'll join us in supporting this transformative work and share this link http://kck.st/1sJm4OD with your friends and family.

Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine
"The port is itself an existence of Odessa"— Count A.Lanzheron
On February 6, Odessa sea port Authority became a member of the working project "Ecoports", which is the part of European sea ports organization. It became possible due to the preparatory work in seaport, the qualitative organization of the system of ecological safety and the corresponding to European requirements.
It should be reminded that on November 2013, the Ukrainian port branch was presented for the first time at the major ecological forum "Green Port Congress 2013" (Antwerp, Belgium).In the course of the meeting, the representatives of the SE" Ukrainian sea ports Authority" announced about the start of the procedure of entering into European association of "Green ports"- "Ecoports" and about the intention of Ukrainian harbors to become a part of European sea ports organization (ESPO).
"Odessa was the first city which stepped upon the difficult road to become a part of European "Green Ports". This is an indicator of corresponding to high requirements of ecological safety, acting in ports of Europe. The chief of ecological safety department of the SE" USPA" Sergey Perfiljev said that nowadays, the port of Iljichyovsk and the port " Yuzniy" make the same preparatory work.
Oleg Vadimovich Nedostup is chosen as a new chairman of the non– government organization " Ecoports". Oleg Vladimirovich is a deputy director of A.V. Bogatsky physico-chemical institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, candidate of engineering sciences.
It was decided on the 6th of February during the extraordinary " Ecoports" conference, where the general manager of Odessa sea port Authority, M. Sokolov and the representatives of ports of Belgorod-Dnestrovsk, Iljichyovsk and Yuzhny were present.
While representing the delegates the candidature of the new chairman, the creator and permanent manager of the non – government organization " Ecoports", Sergey Perfiljev underlined Oleg Nedostup's personal input in the realization of big number of projects of the organization. Especially, he underlined the participation of the scientist in the investigations of factors which influence the air pollution in Odessa city, the cooperation arrangements with governmental authorities on the question of liquidation of poison-bearer in Altestovo village and participation in the expedition at the Snake Island.
Reminding that nowadays the organization needs the reloading of approaches and competence, Sergei Perfiljev urged to support the candidature of Oleg Nedostup, as a qualified specialist and a person, who is dedicated to his profession. Delegates welcomed the proposal solid.
Information: The Non – government organization "Ecoports" was created in March 2009, led by the workers of the port of Odessa and became the first non – government organization in the maritime branch in Ukraine. "Ecoport "is a part of Public Council. In autumn 2013 organization extended owing to entering of ports of Belgorod-Dnestrovsk,Berdiansk, Yevpatoriya Iljichyovsk, Izmail, Kerch, Mariupol, Sevastopol, Feodosiya, Kherson, Yuzhny and Yalta.
The cargo turnover of Public Joint-Stock Company "Odessa port cold store" (index of the ship unloading) was 188 thousands of tons, which is 8 % more if to compare with the previous year. The lion's share of the transshipment makes citruses and bananas. Answering the questions connected with the results of the so called "new-year delivery", the deputy chief executive of Public Joint-Stock Company, Igor Khmelevskoy stated suggestive surge in demand for citruses from Turkey.
In December, Odessa port cold store accepted and worked 11 vessels with citruses, from port of Zonguldak,- said Khmelevskoy,- it is only one ship more than in December,2012.Meanime, the tonnage time of the products imported made almost 25% . Turkish tangerines are in high demand, which had the best of bargain in consumer's price than Spanish ones with its prices, and to compare with Georgian tangerines, they win at marketable appearance and eating qualities. This consignment is planned to be accepted up to the middle of March inclusive. Last year's citrus harvest was very good in Turkey.
It should be added that in 2013 in Ukraine, a record number of apples was cropped, which consumer's price plummet if to compare with previous years. This fact, perhaps not surprisingly, doesn't influence domestic consumer's predilection for expensive tropical fruits. A month ago, a data was given in the Ukrainian statistics, according to which in September-November 2013 , 109 thousands of tons of citruses was imported , which 38 % more than in previous year. The major part of the import, that is 60%, falls on tangerines.

On January 8, the motor ship JIGAWA was put into dock №2 Shipyard «Ukraine» of SE "OSCP".
The specialists of the shipyard set about cleaning and washing the hull.
As the chief of the shipyard operations service, Alexandr Voloshchuk said, the motor ship JIGAWA needs to undergo the set of dock operations, besides the repair of corps work: cleaning and washing the corps, maintenance at the aggregate of propeller-rudder system, the repair of ground -outboard fitting. Docking of the ship is planned to be finished in two weeks. Then instead of dry cargo , the pump-dredge "Dneprovskiy 5" will be on the dock floor, which has already been put at the factory terminal №8.
As A. Voloshchuk says, a scope of work, like the repair of corpus constructions should be done at the dredger, and also a lot of repair operations of mechanism and aggregates, so that causes the planned term of docking to be twice bigger. As to the chief of operations service calculations, the work on the ships JIGAWA and "Dneprovskiy-5" will provide the loading of the dockyard up to the end of February, which is a good prerequisite for successful completion of the first quarter of 2014.
It should be reminded that, the motor ship JIGAWA has been repaired in the dock yard in port of Odessa. Meantime, the pump-dredge "Dneprovskiy 5" didn't enter the factoring terminal before. Securing of this order is the result of efficient marketing work of the company's managing team and high reputation of the shipyard at the market of ship repairing services.
Odessa, December 6. The representatives of amateur club of carton –modelists, Andrew Seleznev and Dmitriy Lynnik made a donation of reduction of submarines "K-21" and "C-13" to Marine Fleet Museum. As the director of the museum, Ludmila Bondarenko, assures, the models will be presented in the functioning exposition, which is at the Odessa sea port, at the marine passenger terminal. The museum got the exhibitions gratis.
Represented combat ships in models were at war under the command of inhabitants of Odessa , Nicolay Lunin and Aleksandr Marinesko. Both of them made a great input into the history of Great Patriotic War.
" K-21" under the command of the hero of USSR, the captain II rank N. Lunin, on July 5, 1943 launched 4 torpedoes on the battleship " Tirpitz" ( one of two major surface vessels of Nazi Germany) , and " C-13" under the command of captain III rank A. Marinesko, on January 30, 1945 took down the major German transport "Wilhelm Gustloff".
As L. Bondarenko remarked, new exhibits turned up just at the right moment. A big number of museum visitors are interested in the history of undersea fleet, and until now, a museum guide could illustrate the story only with the help of photos.
The director of the museum highly appreciated the accuracy and exactness with which, the modelists reproduced "K-21" and "C-13". The finishing of models is such that they look like metallic ones. Both of them, by the way, became the award winners in international competitions.
And several words about the creators. Andrew Seleznev is the worker of the mechanical sector at SE "OCSP". Modelling is a longtime passion, which was supported by all members of the family. The main hobby is sailing ships, but it was he who started to "build" "K-21". But his friend, Dmitriy Lynnik finished the model, as the specialist of the undersea fleet. As to the main activities, he isn't connected with sea; he works in the services sector. The sea theme is for the soul.
As L. Bondarenko says, nowadays the collection of models of different ships and vessels in Marine Fleet Museum enumerates more than 300 depository items. A lot of exhibits are of the historical and cultural interest. About 70 % of ship copies are in need of reconstruction and recovery after fire in 2005. Unfortunately, as the director of museum said, such sort of work isn't planned to be financed.
NB: one of the best in Europe Marine Fleet Museum since 1965 is situated in the building of the former English club in the very center of the city. During the fire in 2005, the inner constructions of the building were damaged, and the exhibits suffered from fire and water. In December 2012 during the session of Odessa Regional Council, the decision to take the establishment in balance of regional community was made. At the start of this year, the region allocated funds for reconstruction of the museum building.
The business call of panel member, the minister of Custom cooperation Of Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), Vladimir Goshin, took place in Odessa. He was invited by the Freight –Forwarding Association of logistic organizations of Ukraine "Association of freight-forwarding organizations of Ukraine". The main goal of the trip was the sharing experience of the realization of the project "Single-window is a local solution" and several similar projects.
Vladimir Skiba, the director of division of custom infrastructure of ECE, Alexandr Arefiev, the assistant of Colleague member ( Minister) of custom cooperation, Yuriy Sokolov, vice chief of south customs of Minister's finance and charges in Ukraine, Oleg Platonov, counselor-minister of Infrastructure, Konstantin Savchenko, vice director of the Department of coordination of Ministry of Infrastructure, Viacheslav Voronoj, head of service of strategic development of executive office of SE" OCSP" , Dmitriy Yakimenkov, head of service of information technology of executive office SE " OCSP", Alexandr Fedorov, head manager of the project "One contact is a local solution", Ruslan Sahaudtinov, the chief dispatcher of Odessa Sea Port Authority took part in the meeting.
Port Community informational system (PCIS) was presented in the course of the meeting. It was presented by V. Voronoj and D.Yakimenkov. As it is known, Port of Odessa became the first among domestic ports, which implemented the first stage of PCIS (electronic assignment), which had moved from experiment to commercial production since September 2. The electronic assignment spread on bulk cargo, which is carried by transport. The commercial production PCIS became possible due to Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on 3.07.2013 №553 « Concerning the Introduction of changes in resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers on May 21, 2012 №451»
As V.Voronoi said, the first stage of PCIS should, later on, provide the informational background of the whole chain of transit of cargo through water area and the territory of port of Odessa. Nowadays, electronic and paper-based form of execution of containers, which are carried by rail road, function parallel in the port. But, in the soonest possible time, it is planned to be only the electronic way of execution.
Before the year is out, the mode of "free practice", which is a component of the first stage of PCIS, and functioning in the port of Odessa more than three years, will be applied in the port Yuzhnuy. The implementation of PCIS was started also in the port of Iljichyovsk, where more than 1300 containers are modeled by that scheme up to day.
The participants of the meeting in the course of the visiting port of Odessa got to know the usage procedure for ships in the mode of "free practice". In the consistent office, which is situated on the territory of manufacturing area of the service of logistics and commercial work of sea port authority, guests had a possibility to watch the process of electronic execution. A general sightseeing tour around Odessa sea port was organized.
The implementation of the project "Single-window – is a local decision, and the free practice mode is the part of the system process of realization of Ukrainian Sea Ports reform, which is oriented on the creating the maximum favorable terms for running the business in ports, attracting strategic investors with constant cargo traffic into the sphere, increasing the competitiveness of sea ports an evaluation of its activities according to European standards.
NB. Eurasian Economic Union was created in November 2011. The president of Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia signed the declaration Of Eurasian Economic integration and the Eurasian Commission agreement. According to commission of the president of Russia, Eurasian Union of transporting, forwarding and logistic organizations ( EUTFL) was constituted. 9 organizations and 4 countries (Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine) became the participants and also the founding members of EUTFL. The activity of EUTFL is directed on the simplification of international trade procedures and transport.

Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (SE "USPA") contributes to building mutually beneficial business relationship between its branch offices under the auspices of one state enterprise. Thus, Odessa sea port authority placed an order of sewing work wear at the port of Izmail. On December,3 , the inhabitants of Odessa got the first part of it, which is 79 of 400 ordered item of winter clothes. It is cold-proof jackets and trousers.
As the representative of the logistic department of SE "USPA" , Irina Kozachenko said: " New work wear compare favorably with the that, which was bought before. The previous one was made from cotton and warmth-keeping sintepon. The upper part of the jackets, which were made in the port of Izmail, consists of synthetic water-repellent material, and the warmth-keeper, vice versa, from warmer natural batting. Significantly is that the warmth-keeper can be unbuttoned. It is comfortable both for laundering, and to adjust to treacherous weather in Odessa, if it is warm – you can unbutton warm-keeper, it is cold- you can button it again.
As to I.Kozachenko opinion, the quality of the work wear entirely complies with the requirements and standards. And significantly is that , in spite of elaborated technology of fabrication , the production of clothing manufacturers of port of Ismail doesn't cost more, than the supplier's one.
An election meeting of non-governmental organization "Odessa Sea Port Society of the disabled "took place in the portclub on 4th of December.

The Europen Integration processes are not finished, they will be kept on, - the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine, Vladimir Kozak said at the meetings with representatives of worker's association of transport department, students, and teachers of specialized universities. But in a very difficult situation, which developed in National economy because of the loss of big number of export to Russia and counties of Custom Union and general complication in trade and economic cooperation with our east neighbors, the rushed signing of Association Agreement will bring Ukraine more risks, dangers and losses than profits, advantages and stability. So, in spite of repeated attempts of Ukrainian government to discuss the business of contingent consideration with European colleagues, in the form of wide access of Ukrainian goods to European market and giving Ukraine a credit on reasonable terms at transition period, the representatives of EU didn't give any concrete answers. In fact, Ukraine didn't receive any hands-on assistance , except for naked addresses of European politicians to Russian and was left alone with its problems.
That's why ,with all the responsibility, government came to a decision to pause a process of signing Association Agreement with EU and proposed to discuss further prospects of European integration of our country with saving normal , good neighborhood and mutually beneficial trade and economic cooperation with Russian and counties of Custom Union in three-side form: Ukraine- EU- Russia.
" The cooperation of Ukraine with EU keeps on and the Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine goes on actively cooperate with European colleagues in preparation of the variety of common and mutually beneficial agreements for Ukraine and counties of EU" , -the Minister remarked. On November, 27 , the Vice Prime Minister , Alexandr Vilkul, signed an agreement , in Brussels , according to which , the EU will supply our country the funds for modernization of aero navigational system, it will lead to flying safety in full compliance with European standards.
Exactly during Vilnius summit a treaty about Common Aeronautical Space ,open-skies, will be initialed.
Such a treaty will open our market to European air carriers , and will give a possibility to Ukrainian carriers to add new routes, and create more competitive terms. It will help the Ukrainians the get more manifold service at a low price",- Vladimir Kozak said.

A Haven for a Hectic Family
The Lyons-Fisher family gets help organizing their cluttered master bedroom and adjoining office.

Master Bedroom
George and Colleen Lyons-Fisher have a master bedroom that has plenty of space but not much peace. The furniture and floor are buried under piles of clothes and luggage that never seem to make it to the closet, dirty clothes or dressers.
The adjacent sitting room, used as an office, is full of broken furniture, computer parts and uncontrolled paper. The couple would like to reclaim the space for relaxation and productivity.
The sofa — intended as a gathering spot for the family — is inaccessible because of, you guessed it, piles of clothes.
Instead of hanging things up in the crowded and jumbled closets, clothing just gets dropped on the floor or any other horizontal surface.
Professional organizer Kendra Muscella has a plan that will make it easy for the Lyons-Fishers to find clothes and put them away in the bedroom as well as make a functional office.
The biggest challenge is weeding out all the excess clothes. Kendra's rule of thumb for this problem is: If it was destroyed by a fire or flood, would you miss it?
After a manageable quantity is determined, the amount remains fixed by using another rule of thumb: something new in, something old out. Once everything has an assigned place, it is much easier to maintain good habits for organizing clothes.

In Karnataka, 560 nomination papers filed
Nearly 560 candidates representing various political parties and Independents have filed nominations for the Lok Sabha polls in Karnataka, a senior election official said Wednesday.
"As there was rush of candidates on the last day for filing nominations, the number of candidates will go up from 560 after we receive and tally the final figures from all the 28 parliamentary constituencies," state chief electoral officer Anil Kumar Jha told reporters here.
Filing of nominations began March 19 when the single-phase parliamentary poll across the state to be held April 17 was notified.
"All candidates who were present in the offices of the returning officers in all the constituencies by 3 p.m. were allowed to file nominations. As many candidates filed more than one set of papers, the number of nominations is 845 so far," Jha said.
Of the total, 225 candidates filed 380 nominations on the last day (Wednesday), with more candidates turning up at the last minute in the high-profile Bangalore South constituency from where the BJP's five-time winner Ananth Kumar will be pitted against Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani of the Congress.
Prominent candidates filing papers Wednesday included former state chief minister and Janata Dal-Secular (JD-S) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy and former BJP minister Bachhe Gowda from Chikkaballapur where union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister M. Veerappa Moily of the Congress is contesting for the second time.
Former minister B.R. Sriramulu, who re-joined the BJP recently, is fighting from Bellary Reserved (ST) constituency where his sister Shanta won the 2009 election while representing the same party.
Kannada actress Ramya from Mandya, where she won in a bye-election in August 2013, C. Narayanaswamy from Bangalore North, and former union minister B. Janardhan Poojary from Dakshina Kannada have all been fielded by the Congress.
"Scrutiny will be taken up Thursday and withdrawal will be allowed on two days -- Friday and Saturday," Jha said.
Meanwhile, a record 1.5 million additional people have registered as voters in the final phase of enrolment till Wednesday, taking the total electorate to 46,229,101 across the state.
In a related development, the poll panel seized Rs.2.48 crore unaccounted cash and a whopping 34,626 litres of liquor valued Rs.1.32 crore from across the state and booked cases against the offenders for violation of the Model Code of Conduct.

More Testimonials
Have you ever wondered who decided that emeralds are the official birthstone for May? The assignment of precious gemstones to specific months dates all the way back to the first century, and you may be surprised to learn that people used to collect all 12 gemstones instead of the stone for the month of their individual birth.
Precious gemstones have been worn to adorn crowns and signify wealth all over the world for centuries. In some cultures precious gems were also tied to religion and religious figures.
The most popular - and interesting - usage of gemstones comes from Polish culture in the 15th and 16th centuries. Gemstones were thought to possess special powers, with each stone possessing certain powers that would grow stronger during a particular month. It was believed that if a person wore a gemstone they would receive a transfer of the stone's powers. With that in mind, people sought to collect gemstone jewelry for each and every month and wore this jewelry during the assigned month for optimal powers.
Tibetan culture also believes in the different powers of precious gemstones. The astrological assignments for birthstones that we are familiar with today originate from these Tibetan beliefs.
In 1912, the Jeweler's Association of America created and published an official list of birthstones assigned to months. It quickly gained approval from jewelers worldwide, although it has been amended twice since (in 1952 and 2002).
BillyTheTree has a wide selection of birthstone and gemstone jewelry, including birthstone rings, gemstone stud earrings, and gemstone pendants.

Study says leafy greens top food poisoning source
Tuesday - 1/29/2013, 10:56am EST
By MIKE STOBBE
AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - A big government study has fingered leafy greens like lettuce and spinach as the leading source of food poisoning, a perhaps uncomfortable conclusion for health officials who want us to eat our vegetables.
"Most meals are safe," said Dr. Patricia Griffin, a government researcher and one of the study's authors who said the finding shouldn't discourage people from eating produce. Experts repeated often-heard advice: Be sure to wash those foods or cook them thoroughly.
While more people may have gotten sick from plants, more died from contaminated poultry, the study also found. The results were released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans _ or 48 million people_ gets sick from food poisoning. That includes 128,000 hospitalization and 3,000 deaths, according to previous CDC estimates.
The new report is the most comprehensive CDC has produced on the sources of food poisoning, covering the years 1998 through 2008. It reflects the agency's growing sophistication at monitoring illnesses and finding their source.
What jumped out at the researchers was the role fruits and vegetables played in food poisonings, said Griffin, who heads the CDC office that handles foodborne infection surveillance and analysis.
About 1 in 5 illnesses were linked to leafy green vegetables _ more than any other type of food. And nearly half of all food poisonings were attributed to produce in general, when illnesses from other fruits and vegetables were added in.
It's been kind of a tough month for vegetables. A controversy erupted when Taco Bell started airing a TV ad for its variety 12-pack of tacos, with a voiceover saying that bringing a vegetable tray to a football party is "like punting on fourth-and-1." It said that people secretly hate guests who bring vegetables to parties.
The fast-food chain on Monday announced it was pulling the commercial after receiving complaints that it discouraged people from eating vegetables.
Without actually saying so, the CDC report suggests that the Food and Drug Administration should devote more staff time and other resources to inspection of fruits and vegetables, said Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia's Center for Food Safety.
Earlier this month, the FDA released a proposed new rule for produce safety that would set new hygiene standards for farm workers and for trying to reduce contact with animal waste and dirty water.
Meanwhile, CDC officials emphasized that their report should not be seen as discouraging people from eating vegetables.
Many of the vegetable-related illnesses come from norovirus, which is often spread by cooks and food handlers. So contamination sometimes has more to do with the kitchen or restaurant it came from then the food itself, Griffin noted.
Also, while vegetable-related illnesses were more common, they were not the most dangerous. The largest proportion of foodborne illness deaths _ about 1 in 5 _ were due to poultry. That was partly because three big outbreaks more than 10 years ago linked to turkey deli meat.
But it was close. CDC estimated 277 poultry-related deaths in 1998-2008, compared to 236 vegetable-related deaths.
Fruits and nuts were credited with 96 additional deaths, making 334 total deaths for produce of all types. The CDC estimated 417 deaths from all kinds of meat and poultry, another 140 from dairy and 71 from eggs.
Red meat was once seen as one of the leading sources of food poisoning, partly because of a deadly outbreak of E. coli associated with hamburger. But Griffin and Doyle said there have been significant safety improvements in beef handling. In the study, beef was the source of fewer than 4 percent of food-related deaths and fewer than 7 percent of illnesses.
