The Brick Yard SF's open in time for World Cup Soccer!



For about four years, or until 2007, The Bay Side Restaurant was one of the most popular meeting and eating places in San Francisco and The SF Bay Area, and a prime spot during the 2006 World Cup Soccer games. Then, in 2007, the landlord wanted a dramatic increase in rent, much more than the Bay Side's owners could stomach. The Bay Side was closed that year. The Brick Yard would come much later.

The Brick Yard on Union Street
The space at 1787 Union Steet remained empty for two years until a new ownership group took it over and built The Brick Yard Restaurant; a totally new and welcome take on the sports bar, just in time for World Cup Soccer action.

The blogger checked out The Brick Yard while at last weekend's Union Street Festival without an invitation from the owners. That didn't stop them from providing the royal treatment, and in general treating every one of the 300 or so patrons as if they mattered.

Darren Matte, one of the owners, said they were trying to create what is best called a "home-away-from-home" place that's a sports bar inside out, "We want to be known as a restaurant where you can watch sports," he said, "We put a lot into the kitchen. We've got a killer chef. The menu's going to be healthy California cuisine; we don't want to be a grease pit."

What I like about The Brick Yard is it feels like a giant living room with hard wood floors, earth tones, and plantings. It's the kind of place that makes you want to avoid dropping your food just to help keep it looking good. So don't be surprised if The World Cup Soccer games bring well-behaved beautiful people to The Brick Yard.

FBI denies giving Joran Van Der Sloot $25K by Suzannah B. Troy

The FBI denies giving Joran Van Der Sloot $25K that Der Sloot supposedly used to fund his Peru trip to gamble and to murder.

My readers know I continue to compare this misogynist sicko to the characters in "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson.  It so happens that Joran Van Der Sloot was researching the currents and one possible theory is to dispose of his latest victim's body in the water just like one of the serial killers in Larsson's book who's real title in Swedish is "The Men Who Hate Women".

The question is are there more victims that have been tossed in the water and small animals?

The prison he hopefully will be going to for life in Peru is scary to look at and has a very rough reputation. Inmates have been murdered in there so maybe he will be given prison justice and be treated the way he treated women.  He is 6 foot 3 so over powering his victims would be easy.  I use the word victim and I mean it in the sense of any woman he may have over powered, roughed up and or intimidated.

He was not able to hide the evidence of how he treated her like a Barbie doll when she wouldn't act the way he wanted,  breaking her neck.  So far there is no proof of sexual assault, however her body was only partially dressed.  More important than sex is this sicko's ego and clearly she shook him up in some way and paid with her life; a complete tragedy.

When he did confess he cried and he said he was high on pot.   He blamed the victim of course, no surprise there.


My readers know I made up a term, "The Barbie Doll Syndrome", about abusive, controlling men that want women to be their dolls.  They  are obsessed with women and want females as  their Barbie's and do their bidding in reality and fantasy.    Intimacy and a relationship is not required for these sickos....

As mentioned before, Robert Chambers literally snapped a Barbie doll's head off and had a laugh with his adoring groupies making a reference to the murder of Jennifer Levin.  As I have said before, jurors were never allowed to see this infamous video.

Men suffering from The Barbie Doll Syndrome  are liars and  blame the victim.


Chambers said a cat scratched his face and that if he did kill her it was self defense because of rough sex on her part.  Yeah right.

There is talk of law enforcement attempting to make a reenactment but now that Joran Van Der Sloot has lawyered up, he is not going to be sharing more info.

There is said to be enough evidence to put him away.

I do believe she found information on his computer that he did not want her to see.  Some people think it had to do with him trying to force some sexual attention on her and she said no which enraged him but I don't buy it.   I am going with the theory she found disturbing info on his computer and he got violent.  He is such a sicko he may have made it sexual as well but DNA and evidence gathered at the scene of the crime will give us more information.

He needs to found guilty and jail in a Peruvian prison sound appropriate.  Most of all Natalee Holloway's body has to be found.

I can't imagine what these families are going through and clearly either can the murders family because they continue to attempt to cover for him.  His mother has said something to the effect his confession was coerced.  Yeah right.

Like Robert Chambers he is blaming the victim.

I have never met a misogynist that doesn't blame the victim.   We have all met creepy men that are abusive and of course blame the women the are victimizing and no actual murder is required.  Just rejecting these types or there fantasy world  is enough to enrage misogynists.   Sometime act out in creepy ways and don't murder their victims but all blame them.

Twilight Fans Rule The World or just MTV Movie Awards - by Nikky Raney


I am trying to understand how Twilight beat out Avatar for the "best movie of the year."
I know I am a little late on posting this, but my 20th birthday was on June 7th, and I think I am allowed to take a break from blogging.

What bothered me the most about Twilight winning was the lack of enthusiasm on the part of Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson. The reason that Twilight won and beat out the other movies is undoubtedly due to the fans and the crazy popularity. I will admit, I liked the Twilight movies, but the movies were not better than some of the others in the category. Especially not any better than Avatar. Avatar was an amazing movie, and Twilight should not have beat that movie out.

When Robert and Kristen won the award for best kiss, I felt like they didn't really take it seriously. I felt like they "knew" they were going to win all the awards that they did. They expected to win. They weren't surprised

I was definitely not the only one questioning if Kristen deserved to win "best female performance," or if the only reason she won was because of the "twi-hard fans." Did it even matter if she performed terribly, the fans would vote her anyway right?

  • Zoe Saldana, Avatar - Zoe just used her voice. There was no body language to judge on. I don't even think she deserved to be nominated
  • Emma Watson, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - Emma does such a good job playing the wise yet annoying Hermione
  • Sandra Bullock, The Blindside - I haven't seen this film, but I hear it won some sort of award. I'm pretty sure MTV's 15-year-old audience could care about Oscars though
  • Amanda Seyfriend - Dear John - Ehhh. Lame movie. Haven't seen it, but the trailer looks terrible. This girl doesn't deserve it.

And I don't know if she truly deserved to win versus those. "I guess Twilight is really awesome and I agree..." That's how she accepted the award.

Aziz did an amazing job hosting. I was extremely entertained.

This blog is being written at midnight on June 10, EST time. (I am in New Hampshire, but please don't stalk me).
This is definitely not my best work, I have not been "in the zone" I have had "blogger's block," but let's hope that it goes away soon.

I will be doing more on Tila Tequila, because it is unacceptable for her to continue doing what she is doing. I am not a hater, I am someone who thinks that her lies need to be brought to light. I am going to make some videos with the help of one of Zennie's new bloggers, Josh Grattan. I am not trying to turn people against her or attack her in anyway, but I want people to see the lies that she has caused her fans to believe. I want to show what the truth is that has been hidden under the lies. I am amazed that her "fans" and "Tila army" Are willing to believe the lies that she has been letting flow from her mouth from the start. I used to really admire Tila, but after the suicide hoax, I am going to make sure my blog entries make a difference. I want to make an impact on the way she presents herself and the way others perceive her.

She is NOT a Mogul.
She has lied about everything, and this needs to come to an end.




Sighs.

I'll post more later.
I need some sleep.
Expect some more videos.

And I will finally do my Interview blog on THE FUTURE OF JOURNALISM. :)


P.S. Welcome new blogger "Josh Grattan!"



Joran van der Skool -FBI funded trip by Suzannah B. Troy













Joran van der Skool, a  vile creep. is like a character out of the Stieg Larsson book, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" except the real title is "The Men who Hate Women". Don't forget this cowardly, sicko had his father saying, no body no crime attempting to cover up for his son regarding Natalee Holloway's murder. I wonder how many other causalities or perhaps victims there are?  Note: For now Joran van der Skool is technically innocent of the Natalee Holloway murder until proven guilty but he comes off as guiltier than sin.

According to The New York Post the FBI funded the Jordan van der Skool trip to Peru with money they paid him thru an intermediary as part of a sting operation to attempt to find Natalee Holloway's body and or any info plus get him on charges for something like extortion. 

It is very sad the FBI was not able to act quicker; actually it is also angering. They need evidence first and they said the did not have enough.

The FBI defends their actions or lack there of.

The article states Natalee Holloway's Mom is angry and I am sure if they reporter could have asked the parents of the newest victim, I am sure they would be quite upset and angry as well.

What a twisted, sadistic, misogynist, murdering creep der Skool is and who knew he would use the Mother of Natalee Holloway, taunting her yet again with false hope, to lie and extort money from her to fund a trip to go gamble and murder a woman in Peru; Stephany Flores Ramirez rest in peace

I wonder what der Skool's creepy dad is saying right now to cover for his son and in some way I see him as an accomplice because he covered up for his murderous, sadistic son....is the son just like his father? Both will be remembered for their heinous actions, arrogance and words.

How did this happen? It is too bad the global community could not have a warning that goes off when monsters like this are on the move and someone could have warned his latest victim to stay away.

How about an Ap (short for application) for your iphone "misogynist alert" with warning so when these creepy men approach you can run their name or photo through the program and find information posted on their hateful acts towards women?


How many other women or animals has this guy sadistically murdered, I wonder? After all his father's attitude is no body no crime so maybe there are other bodies that have been disposed of?

Oakland Mayor's Race: Don Perata wants Ron Dellums to declare intent

The latest news from the Oakland Mayor's Race comes in the form of a communication from Don Perata's Office specifically stating Perata's intentions with respect to participation in Oakland Mayor's Race candidate debates or forums.

The letter states the following:

I regret that I will not attend any mayoral forums until the official filing deadline for mayor has closed and the full field of aspirants is known.

Holding mayoral debates before all candidates are declared is undemocratic and misleads voters.

In particular, Mayor Dellums has yet to announce his intentions as is his right as an incumbent. The mayor is running for re-election until he says he's not, or when filing closes in August. Ron Dellums has served our community for almost four decades. He's well entitled to such consideration.

Sincerely,
Don Perata.

Presumably, Perata's statement also applies to Oakland At-Large Councilmember Rebecca Kaplan, who's not offically said she's running for Mayor, even though she's reportedly participating in the Thursday forum.

The letter is also here.

Get Chis Kelly off my SFGate.com blog!! I'm for Kamala Harris!

California Attorney General Candidate Chris Kelly's people have smartly bought up a lot of Internet ad real estate in promoting Kelly's run for the seat currently held by Jerry Brown. But enough is enough. Chris Kelly's ad appears on the top of this blogger's SFGate.com / San Francisco Chronicle website blog. It wasn't placed there after consultation with this space, so here's the message: ZENNIE ABRAHAM IS NOT VOTING FOR CHRIS KELLY. I'M VOTING FOR KAMALA HARRIS.



Ok. And yeah, screaming.

Chris Kelly does not have the connections or the experience to be a good top lawyer for California; Kamala Harris does. Being California Attorney General is not an issue of evaluating the legal impact of Facebook code, as was the case when Kelly was Facebook's legal representative.

Being California Attorney General is about knowing who to call, when, and why to accomplish an objective for people in a region. There's little if anything in Chris Kelly's background that shows he can do this.

By contrast, Kamala Harris, the current District Attorney for San Francisco, has shown an ability not just to make sure conviction rates for violent offenses are up, but also to increase services to help victims of crimes. Moreover, Kamala Harris has been particularly focused on fighting human trafficking; something Chris Kelly does not mention as a primary focus at all.

Get Chris Kelly's ad off my blog!

Thanks!

Gary Coleman Dead: parents say "foul play" involved; insurance money?

The sad life of actor and Different Strokes star Gary Coleman continues after his untimely passing due to an accident at his Utah home with his wife Shannon Price present. Today, news about the contents of Gary Coleman's will are being shared with the public, and Coleman's parents, Willie and Sue Coleman said they believe foul play was involved in Coleman's passing according to the Mail Online UK.



Gary Coleman
Here's the unfortunate catch: Willie and Sue Coleman have been estranged from Gary Coleman for years, and were the focus of a lawsuit ordering them to pay Gary back millions he said they took from him. Now, after his death, they're concerned about how he died? This space wonders if their real concern is for Coleman's insurance money.

According to the Associated Press, Coleman's parents claim that since he was divorced from his wife Shannon Price in 2008, they had the right to custody of his body. But, it's hard to believe they're going to stop there, because they're going to need money to bury his body and that's where his insurance comes in.

This is one story where this space hopes that Shannon Price wins out in some way. The 911 call shows her to be upset and scared, and of course fearful of what people will think about her. If Gary Coleman's adopted parents are allowed to swoop in and collect his money after the way they treated him, that will be hell on display on Earth.

Stay tuned.
