Cloris says she gave up meat a half century ago:

Isaiah Washington has been evicted. The eviction of Washington comes after the former Grey’s Anatomy star hasn’t reportedly paid his former bills.

How much are Isiah’s debts? $100,000 claims the Los Angeles landlord. OUCH! And yes, that is in back rent.

Landlord Kevin McCauley says of Washington:

“They are very nice people, this is an unfortunate matter.”

No comment from Washington.

Sunkist Pistachios has not issued a recall. No recall notice for Sunkist pistachios have been issued by the FDA as of today.

So far the FDA recalls have been:

• Setton Pistachio
• Kroger
• Georgia Nut Company
• Back to Nature Foods

The FDA concern has stemmed from nuts affected by Setton facilities.

The FDA and the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) are investigating Salmonella contamination in pistachio products sold by Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella Inc, Calif. The company has stopped all distribution of processed pistachios and will issue a voluntary recall involving approximately 1 million pounds of its products. Because the pistachios were used as ingredients in a variety of foods, it is likely this recall will impact many products. In addition, the investigation at the company is ongoing and may lead to additional pistachio product recalls.

The contamination involves multiple strains of Salmonella. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Thus far, several illnesses have been reported by consumers that may be associated with the pistachios. It is not yet known whether any of the Salmonella strains found in the pistachio products are linked to an outbreak. The FDA is conducting genetic testing of the samples to pursue all links.

Setton Farms Pistachio recall has now been officially announced. LALATE broke Setton Pistachio concerns Monday. Now moments ago Setton join Kroger, Georgia Nut Company, and Back to Nature Foods.

Setton Pistachio of Terra Bella, Inc. announced today that it is voluntarily recalling from nationwide distribution specific lots of bulk roasted shelled pistachios and 2,000 lbs., 1,700 lbs., 1,800 lbs. and 1,000 lbs. tote bags of roasted inshell pistachios sold to wholesale customers due to potential contamination with the Salmonella organism.

This voluntary recall affects certain bulk roasted inshell and roasted shelled pistachios shipped on or after September 1, 2008. The bulk product was distributed throughout the United States. The Company is voluntarily taking this precautionary measure after learning that a small amount of roasted shelled pistachios processed by Setton Pistachio and received by a commercial customer in late 2008 recently tested positive for Salmonella. This voluntary recall is not in any way related to the recent recalls associated with peanuts or peanut butter.

The Company is asking those firms who received bulk product and have further processed, repackaged, or distributed the affected products to recall those products and contact FDA.

In addition, the company is voluntarily recalling the following retail product: Setton Farms brand roasted salted shelled pistachios in 9 oz. film bags, UPC Code: 034325020252 with a “Best Before” date between 01/06/10 and 01/19/10. This product was distributed in the following states: SC, GA, FL, NC, VA, TN, KY. Consumers should not consume this product and should return what they may have to the place of purchase for a full refund. Setton has established a toll free number, (888) 228-3717, for consumers to call for further information.

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

This is the first ever pistachio recall for Setton Pistachio, which has been selling pistachios for more than 13 years.Setton Pistachio is committed to quality products and consumer safety, and is taking aggressive action to prevent the need for any future recalls of its products.

Yes, a motorized bar stool drunk driver.

The man had taken a lawn mower and adapted it with a bar stool. He’s 28. He even told police he had 15 beers. He told responding beers police at the scene that the bar stool gets 38 mph. Of course it does, after 15 beers.

And if you though the story could be even worse – the man is asking for a jury trial. Suddenly jury duty sounds actually fun.

Wygle has pleaded not guilty and has requested a jury trial.
