SF Herb And Natural Food Company Recall

The San Francisco Herb & Natural Food Company, a firm that creates herb products, is embroiled in an unfortunate situation that's caused it to recall its food products. On July 26th, a voluntary recall of 16 specific lots of San Francisco Herb products was done by the firm, and due to the potential contamination of filth. San Francisco Herb is working with the California Department of Public Health and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to take corrective measures and address any health concerns. The recalled products were primarily sold over the internet in the United States. The following San Francisco Herb products with the specific lots numbers below are included in the recall: Product Description Product # Lot # Carob Raw Powder P351 Lot # 090018 Chicory Root Roasted Granules G440 Lot # 120056 Fennel Seed Whole W17

Michelle Jenneke Dancing Sexy As Hell To Zennie62 Theme

Ok.  This may seem to have nothing to do with Oakland, but it does.  The Zennie62 Theme was created by Oakland's Emily Palen, especially for Zennie62 On YouTube .   I wondered how it would look if I combined the news video that became the viral video called "Michelle Jenneke Dancing Sexy As Hell " with the Zennie62 Theme.  Visit Emily Palen's site: EmilyPalen.com

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan Blows It At 100-Blocks Press Conference

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan returned from a trip to Brazil and in general a number of travel obligations that kept her out of Oakland far more than she was in it over the last five months, and to a swarm of controversy about her 100-blocks initiative that, on Wednesday June 27th at 2 PM, degenerated into the most disastrous press conference this blogger has ever seen in Oakland's mayoral history. I've been involved in Oakland politics in depth and either as columnist, Mayor's Aide, consultant, or video-blogger, since 1990, and through Mayor Lionel Wilson, Elihu Harris, Jerry Brown, Ron Dellums, and Jean Quan, and this presser - which included City of Oakland Chief Administrative Officer Deanna Santana, Assistant Chief Of Police Anthony Toribio, Mayor Quan's Senior Public Safety Advisor Megan Harmon, and Robert Batty of the consulting firm Forensic Logic (who's website is in "stealth mode" as of this writing) - by Quan was the worst I've ever seen -

Oakland Army Base Gets Preliminary City Council Approval

The Oakland Army Base Project - the long-dreamed of plan to redevelop a long-dead 366-acre land assembly that was once the home of the U.S. Army for the San Francisco Bay Area, and the focus of a competition won by Oakland-based California Capital Group two years ago - has moved a giant step closer to reality after the Oakland City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would accomplish the following: 1) Approve the city administrator to complete agreements with the Port Of Oakland, East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), and a set of developers, firmly establish the use of $242 million in State Of California funds, and commit $22.5 million in City of Oakland funds to match a grant from the Trade Corridor Improvement Fund, which would total 54 million for the project in addition to the state funds mentioned. 2) Approve a plan that essentially transfers all land development control to the firms of Prologis CCIG Oakland Global, LLC, but under the City Of Oakla

Joe Tuman On The GS Warriors, Oakland, Rebecca Kaplan At Large, And Mayor Quan

For Oakland politicos, Joe Tuman has become a household name. The San Francisco State Professor and San Francisco CBS Channel Five Political Commentator made a name for himself in 2010 with an aggressive, if late-starting run to be Mayor of Oakland, losing - along with nine other candidates including the winner of the most first place votes, Don Perata - to then-Oakland Councilmember Jean Quan.

San Francisco News: Ross Mirkarimi Interview With SF Sheriff Suspended Via Domestic Violence Claim

Originally at: http://www.zennie62blog.com/2012/06/18/ross-mirkarimi-interview-with-sf-sheriff-suspended-due-to-claim-of-domestic-violence-33402/ Ross Mirkarimi, the long-time San Francisco progressive politician who, after being termed out as District Five Supervisor, was elected to be San Francisco's Sheriff, only to be suspended from his job, by court stay-away order separated from his wife Eliana Lopez (who moved to her native home Venezuela January 13th, 2012), and all after an New Year's Eve day argument that turned violent enough for Lopez to approach a neighbor named Ivory Madison for assistance. After two months of back-and-forth texts, Ross agreed to meet me for a wide ranging interview conducted at the Royal Ground Coffee Cafe at 2060 Fillmore Street in San Francisco's Pacific Heights on Father's Day. As a note, Ross is a friend of mine, but the issue is extremely serious, so I worked to strike a balance -- get to the core matters of concern without h

Megan Avalon Female Bodybuilder Webcam Fitness Model Featured Video

As of this writing, if you type "fbb" in YouTube, a selection of female bodybuilder videos is presented.  But there's one at the top that's the "featured video" - this one I made of my friend Megan Avalon in 2010. I'm proud to say that it's generated almost a half-million views over that time.  I think what's so popular about it is it's an up close look at fbb, and just as one might see her webcam style. Also, this video, made in Oakland, captures Megan at her buff-est levels of development.  I have always felt that Megan was holding back on the development of her biceps, which are well-defined in this video at 15 inches.  Imagine if they would look like at 17 inches, and how they would accentuate her breasts, which already have been augmented. Just saying.

NBA Commissioner Stern Tells Oakland SF Golden State Warriors Arena Easy Commute

Oakland Warns NBA Warriors As SF Arena Plan Introduced

Will Oakland sue the Golden State Warriors? This 17-minute video was made based on interviews held on Tuesday May 22nd and at the Golden State Warriors Press Conference at San Francisco Piers 30-32 to announce plans to construct a $600 million basketball arena on that site, and to be opened by 2017. On Tuesday, I talked to San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, NBA Commissioner David Stern, Warriors Owners Peter Guber and Joe Labob, Warriors Legend Al Attles, and in Oakland, Councilmember Ignacio De La Fuente, who's a key member of the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority. The main line of questioning by me centered around possible litigation by the City Of Oakland to block the deal. Also, Ignacio De La Fuente reminds all that as of now, the Warriors still owe Oakland $105 million from the bond deal to build the arena in Oakland that was opened just 14 years ago in 1998. The Golden State Warriors San Francisco deal will be all private money, and not even the NBA wi

Oakland Police Department Hosts Open House May 4th

Another step in the Oakland Police Departments work to rebuild its relationship with the Oakland Community - and this is a good one. Read from Oakland Local : Meet Oakland Police Chief Howard Jordan, his executive team, other members of the department and the different services they offer during OPD's first-ever open house from 5 to 7:30 p.m. this Friday, May 4, at the Police Administration Building. In the past, OPD has come under a lot of scrutiny regarding its handling of the Occupy Oakland encampments and rallies. The department is working to regain the confidence of the community by becoming more open with the public and organizing events allowing the community to get to know those who vow to protect and serve in Oakland. The open house is a great opportunity to learn more about the department and get to know the people who are here to keep Oakland a safe and inviting place to live and visit. OPD Open House When: 5 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 4 Where: Police Admi
