Moving such a huge volume of food requires a fleet of trucks, a state-of-the-art inventory tracking system, and a big staff, including 34 of its own employees, 20 prison inmates who work on contract, and about 2,200 volunteers, says Jason Clark, its executive director. Look behind the curtain, however, and you ll find a distribution operation that rivals grocery warehouses in sophistication and logistical complexity.

But it's an excuse to poke fun at something and a good place to poke fun is always the supermarket. Pitted "dried plums" -- formerly known as prunes -- are individually wrapped like candy, sold in a transparent plastic canister. But producers keep trying upside down containers, which elevate price and confuse consumers. Pull a tab, and water mixes with quicklime to produce heat in a chamber around the beverage.

But despite his efforts to live off the public-records grid, there's plenty you can know about Ed Magedson without even talking to him: the legal battles, the allegations of extortion, even his parents' death certificates and the paperwork from that old 1970s pot bust. After that bill arrives, as it turns out, he needs orange juice. Then, despite a bowl of creamers on the table, he asks two different waiters to bring him more, only to seem confused when the table ends up with three bowls'...

Eaves' lawyer, public defender Dave Sallen, filed the guilty plea for one count of first degree burglary - a class B forcible felony - on July 20, the day a pre-trial conference was supposed to take place.
