Oakland's Jules Thin Crust Pizza To Challenge Zachary's Pizza In Rockridge

Will Jules Thin Crust Pizza complement or challenge the legendary Zachary's Pizza in Oakland's Rockridge District. It's opening in March at 5804 College Ave in Oakland. This space is selecting the word "challenge" even though Jules owners Jeff and Heather Clapp told Berkeleyside that they love Zachary's Pizza. Jeff said “I love Zachary’s deep-pan mushroom pizza. We used to live in Rockridge and would come to Zachary’s often. We see Jules as offering something very distinctive.” Where Zachary's Pizza is thick, Chicago-Style pizza, Jules Thin Crust is planned to be just that: a flatbread-style pizza of a different design, and something they came up with nine years ago at Oliveto Café. Jeff and Heather Clapp become the latest food entrepreneurs to enrich the Oakland restaurant scene. Can't wait to try their pizza, then go over to Zachary's and have some of their creations!

Pete's Harbor's Paula Uccelli Harassed By PR Mercenary; Zennie Abraham To Rescue

Paula Uccelli, the 70-year-old now former owner of Pete's Harbor, was recently attacked and harassed both online and offline by someone claiming to represent the tenants of the 60-year-old facility. Now, after this blogger, Zennie Abraham, came to Ms. Uccelli's rescue, the people responsible for working to harm an elderly woman, and who don't live on Pete's Harbor, are digging up the old, false argument that this blogger works for Chevron. What they fail to note is that their activities could be the focus of criminal action because of what they've done. What they failed to note is this blogger had their fake Twitter account, where they had stolen Paula Uccelli's identity to write nasty Twitter tweets in her name, taken down. That fake account they made caused them to be in direct violation of California's powerful online impersonation law . SB 1411 made the kind of malicious digital impersonation that the persons committed against Paula Uccelli a m

Oakland Acupuncture's Beth Checks Antioxdinant Levels

On Wednesday, I met Beth of Oakland Acupuncture, who tested my body to determine its level of antioxidants - the higher, the better, the lower, well, the worst. Mine was in-between, tilting toward the lower level. It's in the 30,000 range, but if it were lower, say in the 20,000s, that would indicate the appearance of cancer in my body. Can't let that happen. Here's the video: Oakland Acupuncture's Beth Says I Have To Eat More Fruit

City Of Oakland’s Social Media Approach Is No Approach

The City Of Oakland and Oakland Mayor Jean Quan are attempting to hide behind a plan to not put out information via social media. This blogger has asked City of Oakland press representatives to use USTREAM and set up a free livestream of the press conference, which can be done for nothing. It's a terrible effort that helps keep Oaklanders in the dark, all to prevent her from getting a lot of criticism, and help a handful of mainstream media outlets that almost no one watches get coverage. Meanwhile, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, USTREAM, Tout.com, and other social media platforms are left out.
