Are you looking for unique holiday gifts and Black Friday deals? I found quite the selection for amazing gift options, along with a few deals I want to pass on to you at the San Francisco Thread Show this past weekend.
I've learned the best thing for my own creativity is to get out and experience what others are doing with their creative outlets. So it's not a huge shock when my son, Budding Fashion Designer, gets a jolt out of an event like the Thread show.
Independent fashion rocks
Thread's San Francisco show has been a staple on our calendar for two years now. Not only do I get to offer product reviews for a few of the unique products we found, but an interview with the Budding Fashion Designer guarantees we will be back next year. Turn it up – I love what he's got to say about how inspirational it was for him.
We took quite the crowd with us to this year's event. A whole group of friends and family totaling 12 of had a caravan down to San Francisco for fashion fun. Now that is an outing! Thank god my son is cool with rolling with all the women, since he was the only testosterone in the group.
It took me forever to actually walk the whole show. Not because it was absolutely huge -Â a good size this year and not overwhelming – but because every 10 feet I would be stopped by one of our group with an insistent "You have to see this!" and being dragged over to check it out.
Fashion from the source
The independent fashion and jewelry designers were a wonderful mix. I gave the Budding Fashion Designer a budget and actually made him stick to it. Amazingly he took my advice of checking the whole show out before laying out any cash. We found a handful of menswear designers represented, which was a nice surprise and although geared for himself 4+ years in the future, the designs were a blast to peruse.
Stand out products
After making the rounds and chatting with dozens of vendors I went into product review mode. Who had something unique, different, fun? Was there a story to tell?
Rock N The Trend
The sparkle of guitar picks caught my eye, and as my husband just recently picked up the guitar for the first time, I had to look. Immediately the Budding Fashion Designer pulled one of their super fancy bracelets off the display and snapped it on me. Oh shiny!
I had to ask his opinion if I could pull it off. He covered with a "Maybe… in a different color." I do love honesty in a son/fashion consultant.
Lisa DiMaggio founded her company, Rock N The Trend.com, to connect women. Women who love music, women who love fashion, and above all women who embody originality. Since starting this company she has designed and uniquely hand-crafted each of her jewelry designs. Each piece goes through a rigourous making process taking upwards of an hour or more with the utmost attention to detail with an emphasis on quality and character.
The designs were well composed and from a distance, didn't immediately look like guitar picks. Of course I love the unique use of an unusual object, so yes, they totally rock. Excuse the pun.
Wild Life WorksÂ
Can fashion protect wildlife? This interesting question is posed by Wild Life Works, a fashion company that is using their fashion to create jobs and protect wildlife, right in the midst of Kenya.
Wildlife Works' mission is to harness the power of the global consumer to create innovative and sustainable solutions for wildlife conservation.
We call it Consumer Powered Conservation (sm)
When you buy a Wildlife Works product, you become an agent for conservation. You're wearing the brand that says you won't sit quietly by while the last wild things in the last wild places disappear forever.
A big thank you to both Joyce Hu, Creative Director and Stacy Zechel for chatting at the show. They had great energy which of course made me want to find out more about what Wild Life Works has going on.

Get your Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal now! Wild Life Works is offering an amazing deal – you save 20% and give back at the same time. Click here for the details:Â http://www.wildlifeworks.com/events/givethrice.html
My favorite of their collection? The Kitani Longsleeve Tee (pictured to right). The fact I'm even looking at something form fitting must mean I'm getting used to my shrinking self.
CH-ARMZÂ – What's up your sleeve?
The winter weather has us layering up, and yet not everything we own works with multiple layers without making us look like we started on the Thanksgiving desserts early this year.
Carlie Tracey is the designer behind CH-ARMZ, a unique and fun way to expand your wardrobe by adding sleeves where there are none. I had a kick chatting with her about her company and where her idea came from. Her background in the film industry as a costume designer did not come up at the show, so now I'm going to track her down and get an interview!
The whole concept is fun from the fashion opportunities to expand your closet (and keep warm), to the graphics and packaging. I pulled the Budding Fashion Designer over for his opinion when choosing my own pair with a very loaded question "Can I pull this off?". It was a leopard print sleeve.
He calmly looked around at all the options while I added that he knew my wardrobe. "I think you would get more wear out of the black". Cool – that decision made.
Of course he also added his own unique marketing advice directly to Carlie by bluntly stating "You should take this to middle and high school girls because they are always putting together cute outfits and then covering them with stupid hoodies." I loved her comment that he's a "really good marketer". Yep, that's my entrepreneurial kid there.
Very fun product and perfect for a girlfriend gift this year!
Maple XO – Recycled Skateboard Jewelry
The Budding Fashion Designer is also an avid skateboarder so when I saw the Maple XO booth I knew it wouldn't be long until I was ambushed to go check it out with him.
Anyone who has been reading my posts for more than a month knows I love unique jewelry. Duh. What makes this jewelry a different experience? Gorgeous things come out of a thrashed skateboard.
I knew about this type of jewelry, but the Maple XO line is extensive in it's styles for both guys and girls. In fact their large hoop earrings are so beautifully shaped that their previous life as a skateboard just adds to the details.
There is some absolutely beautiful wood that goes into a skateboard and the designs show it off in a perfect way by rounding or angling the designs to highlight all the layers.
The owner/designer Lindsay Jo is freaking adorable and very cool to talk to. Check out the Maple XO site for some incredible accessory options. Her MXO:raw collection is calling my name.
Adore Curiosity – Eyelashes inspired by nature
 If you have a woman on your shopping list who loves bold and edgy fashion, this may just be the product for them. A start-up company who's web site will be live any day now (no pressure), Adore Curiosity has an interesting twist on beauty enhancement. Their lashes are based on nature and pull their shapes and styling from different types of birds.
I was pulled over to their booth to chat with the very fun and pretty girls, by my good friend KB who decided I was brave enough to have a pair put on by their professional make-up artist. Once I got to talking to them about my husband Photographer Man and some of his upcoming projects, the topic was off my face and onto product reviews and collaboration.
I have not worn fake lashes in years. I used to on stage, and the very occasional big-night-out. These looked way too fun to pass up. Maybe it's that I'm in my 40's and just don't care what other people think anymore. Or I'm just ready for something fun and frivolous.
Let's just say I came home with 4 different styles under the guise of getting them for my Photo Man. Oh, and I will be wearing the "Bird of Paradise" on Thanksgiving. What the hell?
Got your Black Friday shopping done?
With any luck, I helped fill a few stockings, or more, on your search for a unique holiday gifts. Supporting independent designers and getting a great deal makes it even better.
Which product caught your eye? Share in the comments – I know all the designers would love to hear your feedback!
Happy shopping – Heather

Surfing in winter with brain freeze and numb toes leads you to one decision, Bali surf trip!
Always spend a good amount of time doing your research to maximise the experience. Here's some help to get you on your way.
Bali is home to many perfect waves during the months of May-August. From long, large rideable walls in Uluwatu to hollow bottomless pits at Padang Padang; Bali can give you that dream surf holiday you always wanted.
Commonly referred to as Ulus, this is a picturesque surfing destination. Ulus was made famous by the classic 70's surfing film "Morning of the Earth," which featured the area's long stretched out punchy waves, ultra-short board shorts, and crystal clear water. Check out this film – it really gives a feeling for that perfect wave we surfers always dream about.
A couple of things have changed since then - the crowds are way denser and the water probably isn't as pristine. One thing's for sure though, Ulus still offers the potential to snatch the ride of your life!
If you're lucky enough to be there on a big swell get ready for some serious 6-10 foot monsters that seem to go on for miles. Be careful though as there has been plenty of drownings here in the past so if you're not an experienced surfer then probably best to give days like this a miss and go check out the ample other attractions that Bali has to offer.
The only entrance to this break is paddling out through a cave which opens up into what seems like the greatest playground ever created. You must time this right because when the swell is big then there's a lot of water moving around. When you're burnt to a crisp and surfed out, coming back into shore can be a nightmare so make sure you follow or ask a local. You have to time your re-entrance to the cave on a wave just right otherwise the strong current will take you straight pass the entrance and across the reef only to find yourself back where you started. Some people tell stories of marathon paddles going around in circles for hours. Once you eventually make it back in you'll know that you have just had the surf session that you have always searched for. After that sit back, relax at your villa with a Bintang and repeat later that afternoon.
Padang Padang
If it's big pounding barrels you're after then a bit further down the coast is the famous Padang Padang. A lot more relaxed then Ulus, Padang Padang is quite a sheltered break so it needs a decent amount of swell for this place to work. When that happens then this place is epic and not only the waves become world class but the whole beach erupts with bars, music and all.
Ultra sharp shallow reef means you'll come across some serious dredging, heaving barrels when the swell is on so be ready to be in awe of this greatness. Locals here are pretty relaxed considering how packed this place gets during the months of June and July but make sure you share the waves so they stay like that!
If it's smaller waves and a fun beach break you're after then definitely head to Seminyak or Kuta beach. A much more chilled out vibe then the cliffs of Uluwatu. Kuta can get good banks in June/July and surf schools are set up along the beach as well as board hire.
What to pack
You'll need a surfboard or two ranging between 6"0 and 6"8, depending on the swell.
Wetsuit, well…. You won't need one of these when water temp hits 27, unless you plan on bouncing off the reefs in big surf. Consider purchasing some booties as reef cuts aren't ideal in these warm waters and there's plenty of bacteria. Big stiff fins with a thruster set-up is ideal for Padang Padang whereas you'll probably need a set of Quads Fins for the long racing walls of Uluwatu. Take a couple of extra pairs as broken fins are pretty common here. Ding repair kits are a must along with sun curing resin. Don't forget warm water wax as cold water wax is useless in Bali and it'll just melt off.
Definitely worth taking plenty of footage to document that perfect wave.

Man guilty of murdering mother-of-one by stabbing her 33 times in 'neighbour dispute'
A SATELLITE TV engineer has been found guilty of brutally murdering his neighbour by stabbing her 33 times with two knives.
Trevor Gibbon, 48, carried out the frenzied attack on mother-of-one Alison Morrison after a dispute spiralled over into violence.
Gibbon faces life behind bars for the killing after a jury unanimously found him guilty of murder today at the Old Bailey.
Mrs Morrison, a charity executive, was murdered the day after she won a restraining order against Gibbon.
The court heard how Mrs Morrison, 45, was walking to work when Gibbon dragged her to the ground and stabbed her with two knives in a 'calm and calculated' attack.
Gibbon ran off leaving Mrs Morrison, a senior manager for consumer charity Which?, bleeding to death near her home in Harrow, north west London.
As she lay on the pavement, she told shocked passers-by: "Trevor Gibbon did this to me."
The jury heard how Gibbon had stalked the Morrison family for two years and tried to kill himself when he was arrested for harassment.
He admitted manslaughter after the deadly attack claiming he was suffering from an 'abnormality of mental functioning'.
Mrs Morrison's family sobbed and applauded when Gibbon was unanimously convicted of murder by the jury of 10 women and one man.
The dispute erupted in 2011 after Mrs Morrison moved in to Windsor Crescent, Harrow, in 2011, and centred around the noise made by the skateboard of the family's teenage son.
Both sets of neighbours installed CCTV to gather evidence against each other as arguments raged.
"Trevor Gibbon did this to me."Alison Morrison
In a statement made by Mrs Morrison and December 13 last year, she said Gibbon would wait and watch the family and plan his next move.
She said it felt like Gibbon "was obsessed with us" and his behaviour was "erratic".
Gibbon was arrested on November 20 last year for harassment and pleaded guilty to the charge on December 17.
The next day Mrs Morrison left her home at just after 7.40am to get the train to work but was followed by Gibbon.
Prosecutor Brian O'Neill QC told jurors: "As she walked along Alexandra Avenue on her way to work he ambushed her, attacked her, forced her to the ground using at least one of the knives he brought with him, repeatedly stabbed her before running off to his car, leaving her for dead."
Gibbon fled the scene but his car was spotted 100 miles away in Lincolnshire.
He was attested and repeatedly stamped his feet on the ground, and shouted: "F***ing hell, what have I done, f***ing hell."
Gibbon, of Windsor Crescent, Harrow, then claimed he couldn't remember the attack and refused to apologise to Mrs Morrison's family, who sat quietly in court throughout the trail.
Judge Timothy Pontius is expected to pass sentence later.

AOC offers honors classes for grades 10-12 in English and social studies and since these classes are teamed, students are enrolled in both subjects. Honors Chemistry is open to all students needing chemistry. Honors Algebra II/Trigonometry is open to qualified students.
Entrance into AOC Honors is determined by exam except for Honors Algebra II/Trig which is determined by evaluation of student records.
The Honors entrance exams are open to all interested students. The exams are given on a Saturday in March for placement in the following year.
Students selected to participate must:
Program Description
Honors students at Academy of the Canyons distinguish themselves through their desire for a more demanding curriculum that challenges their abilities beyond traditional programs of study. To qualify for placement in honors courses at Academy of the Canyons, students must have shown outstanding performance, academic maturity, and a strong work ethic in previous classes of comparable subject matter. To maintain placement in an honors class, students must demonstrate that their placement is appropriate by meeting the level of rigor with completed, timely assignments that reflect the quality expected of honors students. It is expected that students will earn an 80% or higher in all weighted categories of the course, and a student that earns less than 80% in any category at the end of each semester can be placed in a college preparatory class. Extreme extenuating circumstances affecting health and welfare will be taken into consideration by honors teachers and administration.
Enrollment in the AOC honors program will be done on an individual basis. We reserve the right to deny enrollment to any student failing to meet desired criteria.

CLEVELAND - Senate Bill to end licenses dangerous
Senate Bill to end licenses dangerous
There's a bill in the Mississippi Senate that if passed would abolish the requirement for resident hunting and fishing licenses.
That in itself would cost the state wildlife agency about $16 million, but there's more and it makes the bill very dangerous.
It would also cost the Mississippi Department Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks millions of dollars annually in federal funds through the Sport Fish Restoration Fund and the Wildlife Restoration Fund.
Bam! There go Mississippi's wildlife and fishing programs.
Bill sponsor Sen. Melanie Sojourner, R-Natchez, says it is not her intent to cut funding for the state wildlife agency, only to remove the burden of funding wildlife and fishing programs from the pocketbooks of hunters and fishermen.
But, rest assured, the MDWFP would be ruined, if not this year then in the very near future when the state is back on its normal track of revenue shortfalls. The burden would shift from the users to the state's general fund, which is already strained. That's tax money from everybody's pocket.

The New York Times recently jumped into the fray and asked experts to weigh in on their picks for the perfect exercise. See their responses and find out which exercise is perfect for you.
The Quest for the Perfect ExerciseThe Expert: Martin Gibala, the chairman of the department of kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario
The Exercise: Burpee
The Benefits: "It builds muscles. It builds endurance."
Why it isn't Perfect: Most people would never be able to sustain an all burpee program.
The Experts: Michael Joyner, M.D., a professor of anesthesiology at the Mayo Clinic and Hiroshi Nose, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of sports medical sciences at Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan
The Exercise: Brisk Walking, especially intervals
The Benefits: Increase in "maximal aerobic power and thigh muscle strength". Decrease in symptoms of lifestyle-related diseases (hypertension, hyperglycemia and obesity) and depression. Weight Control, especially for middle aged women.
Why it isn't Perfect: "Walking holds little appeal—or physiological benefit—for anyone who already exercises. "
The Expert: Stuart Phillips, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology at McMaster University and an expert on the effects of resistance training on the human body.
The Exercise: Basic Squat
The Benefits: "Activates the body's biggest muscles, those in the buttocks, back and legs." Also great for combating sarcopenia, the inevitable loss of muscle mass that accompanies aging.
Why it isn't Perfect: "There's something undignified and boring about a squats-only routine. And the science supporting weight training as an all-purpose exercise approach, while provocative, remains inconclusive."
The Expert: Martin Gibala, the chairman of the department of kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario
The Exercise: High-intensity interval training, or H.I.T
The Benefits: Shorter, high intensity bursts of exertion reap the same cardio endurance benefits as longer, moderate training. H.I.T also reduces blood-sugar levels and diabetes risk. Best of all you'll get the same rewards in less time spent exercising.
Why it isn't Perfect: H.I.T builds muscular strength less effectively than resistance training like squats. To be effective, H.I.T. must hurt - meaning you'll need to push yourself to an uncomfortable level to see the results.
The ConclusionThere doesn't seem to be one perfect exercise that the experts could agree on. The only thing the experts could agree on was that consistency—in whatever kind of exercise you choose—is the key to reaping the total body benefits of physical activity.
"The majority of the mortality-related benefits" from exercising are due to the first 30 minutes of exercise. The perfect exercise is really anything you like enough to keep doing.
Find the perfect exercise in a fitness class.

Review by:
Angelica Herrera
on April 11, 2012 :
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I thought it was easy to read and understand and the author's advice was easy to implement. The book is about making small changes in one's life that lead to a healthier lifestyle. I liked that it is not a diet, but rather a gradual lifestyle change. The information is clear and well-presented and makes sense. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants to eat in a healthier way!

on Dec. 29, 2011 :
I have been struggling with weight loss for the past couple of years and after reading this book, it gave me a whole new perspective about how simple a life-style change really can be without changing the things I like to eat. The author makes it very simple and straight to the point in a way that makes total sense! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has diabetes or is trying to lose weight. I have been very successful using the tools provided in this book and have lost 17 pounds so far... it is SO exciting!

By Anita Snow | Associated Press | Story updated at 12:15 AM on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 HAVANA - Fueled by Hurricane Wilma, the ocean surged over a wide stretch of Havana's seawall and flooded area neighborhoods Monday. Military divers used inflatable rafts to rescue hundreds of people from inundated homes.
The churning tide spread up to four blocks inland, flooding streets and buildings with water nearly four feet deep. Cars were submerged and only the bright blue tops of public phone booths peeked out. Waves lapped at the front door of the Foreign Ministry building as young men in wooden boats rowed nearby.
The high waves and winds damaged buildings fronting the Malecon that curves for several miles along Havana's coastline, from colonial era structures to modern glass and metal towers still under construction.
Plate glass windows were shattered, old wooden shutters were torn away and doors ripped off their hinges. Huge chunks of the concrete sea wall were pulled loose and thrown in the highway.
Throughout the rest of the capital, downed trees, branches, and other debris littered streets and highways.
There were no immediate reports of deaths or major injuries anywhere on the island. Nearly 700,000 people were evacuated across the island's west in recent days as Wilma approached, the official National Information Agency said Monday.
"We're amazed," resident Laura Gonzalez-Cueto said as she watched from behind a police cordon as military divers in wetsuits, masks and fins escorting small groups of people in the black inflatable rafts with outboard motors. Once they reached higher areas with less water, those rescued were taken away for medical attention.
"Since early today, the water has come all the way up to Linea and Paseo," said Gonzalez-Cueto, referring to a major thoroughfare four blocks from the coast now under more than 1 meter (3 feet) of water.
At least 244 people, including some children, were rescued during the morning, municipal official Mayra Lassale said.
Although the Malecon and adjacent neighborhoods often flood during storms, the extent of the flooding seen Monday after Wilma's assault was highly unusual and reportedly occurs only when hurricanes pass along Cuba's northern coast.
"The ocean is furious, as if it wants to take back the land," Rodrigo Cubal, 42, said as he and his family joined scores of other Havana residents gathering to watch the crashing waves.
The waters were expected to begin slowly receding throughout Tuesday.
Flooding and high winds caused heavy damage to homes elsewhere along the northern coastal, including the northern coastal community of Baracoa, just east of Havana.
The outer bands of Wilma flooded evacuated communities along Cuba's southern coast over the weekend while the hurricane clobbered Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The storm passed to Cuba's north Monday on its way to landfall in southern Florida.
Flooding and high winds Monday caused heavy damage to houses in the northern coastal community of Baracoa, just east of Havana.

Catherine Bowen, Plascon Trends Editor
The International Union of Architects World Congress is upon us (it opened yesterday and will run until the 7th of August), bringing architects from around the world to the shores of Durban in order to consider their common concerns and interests "through an unashamedly African lens". The intention is to bring African knowledge, challenges and opportunities into dialogue with the world.
International Union of Architects World Congress 2014
The development concerns that face South Africa are, by and large, those of Africa's. In 2014, one of the most urgent needs facing humans is managing urban sprawl and the demand for housing, infrastructure, basic services, employment and social development – which are inevitably bound to political decisions and economies. (uia2014durban.org)
The Congress is an opportunity for African architects to help shape/form solutions to poverty, which must be achieved if we are to evolve and survive as a species. Indeed, architects have a pivotal role to play in addressing social inequalities and must reconcile sustainability with progress.
There will be links to "OTHER" global initiatives, which refer to the COP 17 (Built Environment Charter) and RIO+20 (Soil Programme); these initiatives focus specifically on urbanisation and the agricultural opportunities in and around the peripheries of cities.
Globally, there is consensus that many of the ideologies that we have adhered to over the last few centuries have failed us as societies… We require paradigm-shifting models for our way forward, and perhaps some of these alternative values can be found in Africa? Certainly, ancient African communities had a respect and responsibility to their natural environment – a commitment to their communities and sense of connectivity to both.
All in all, UIA2014 will no doubt be a thought-provoking Congress in a similar way that "Design Indaba" is to creative communities. UIA2014 runs until the 7th of August and you can find out all you need to know from the official Congress site here.

Weekly Rundown
The Sacagawea of fantasy primers, the Weekly Rundown guides owners through a forest of obscure stats and exploitable matchups to help the indecisive resolve lineup conundrums. While reading, keep in mind matchups are subject to change due to managerial moves, unforeseen injuries and Mother Nature's influences.
Leading Off
As we head into this week's schedule of games, here's the nitty-gritty on a handful of notable names:
- Future fantasy superstar Hunter Pence was recalled by the Astros from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday and has officially taken over center field duties from Chris Burke. The 24-year-old Pence raked a .304 career BA in the minors and was hitting a robust .341 with three homers, 19 RBI and two steals in 85 Round Rock at-bats. He's worth a top waiver priority in all leagues given his .310 BA, 20 HR, 15 SB upside.
- Seattle royal Felix Hernandez said he felt good after a 35-pitch bullpen session on Friday and is hopeful he'll return either May 4th or 5th at New York. King Felix has a 6.94 ERA versus the Yankees in two career starts.
- South Side slugger Jim Thome was placed on the 15-day DL with a strained rib cage on Saturday. Alex Cintron, Pablo Ozuna, Brian Anderson and possibly top prospect Ryan Sweeney could get additional at-bats in Thome's absence. Sweeney, recalled on Sunday from Triple-A, tallied a .296 BA with 13 HR and 70 RBI in 449 at-bats in Charlotte last year.
- On Friday, Yankees starter Mike Mussina threw a 60-pitch side session comfortably. He's expected to return to the New York rotation maelstrom on Thursday at Texas. Moose has a 4.09 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and five wins in 11 career starts at Ameriquest Field.
- After a bullpen session on Saturday, Brewers manager Ned Yost said Ben Sheets "feels fine" and if his re-evaluation on Sunday proves positive, the Milwaukee ace will likely return for his scheduled start Tuesday versus St. Louis. In his last start against the Cardinals on April 15, Sheets was torched for 7 ER in 5 IP. With Sheets expected to log two starts this week, owners in weekly transaction leagues need to start him with confidence.

Arrests part of ICE's national anti-gang effort -- Operation
Community Shield
NEW ORLEANS - A total of
28 individuals with ties to the MS-13, Latin Kings, Frontline
Soldado, and Sureños transnational violent street gangs are
facing criminal charges or deportation following a three-day
joint multi-agency enforcement action in the New Orleans area by
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and Enforcement and
Removal Operations (ERO), U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), Kenner Police Department, Louisiana State Police, and the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
arrests were made as part of Operation Community Shield, an
ongoing initiative by ICE-HSI's National Gang Unit in which the
agency uses its powerful immigration and customs authorities in
a coordinated strategy to attack and dismantle criminal street
gangs across the country. As part of the initiative, ICE
partners with other federal, state and local law enforcement
agencies to target the significant public safety threat posed by
transnational gangs.
Of the gang members and gang associates
arrested during the enforcement action that concluded today, 18
are from Mexico,
six are from Honduras,
three are from El Salvador
and one from
Five individuals will be considered
for federal prosecution for re-entry after deportation--a
federal violation that carries a potential penalty of up to 20
years in prison--fraud and misuse of visas and misuse of social
security cards.
Two other individuals face state
prosecution on drug charges. Those foreign nationals who are not
being prosecuted on criminal charges are being processed for
removal from the
United States.
"Street gangs account for a significant
amount of crime at both the national and local levels," said
Raymond R. Parmer, Jr., special agent in charge of Homeland
Security Investigations in
New Orleans. "HSI works closely
with our local law enforcement partners to identify, locate and
arrest these gang members to thwart criminal activity in our
communities. Ultimately, ICE deports them".
Since Operation Community Shield began in
February 2005, ICE agents nationwide have arrested more than
18,000 gang members and gang associates. As part of the effort,
HSI's National Gang Unit identifies violent street gangs and
develops intelligence on their membership, associates, criminal
activities and international movements to deter, disrupt and
dismantle gang operations. Transnational street gangs have
significant numbers of foreign-born members and are frequently
involved in human and contraband smuggling, immigration
violations and other crimes with a connection to the border.
To report suspicious activity, call ICE's
24-hour toll-free hotline at: 1-866-347-2423 or visit

This project contributes to the ECML-programme by bringing together stakeholders in education to consider:
Furthermore this project will link to other current ECML projects such as:
The project is innovative in its principles, procedures, and approach.
Working languages of the project: French, German, English
Project term: 2016-2019
Shortcut: www.ecml.at/Learningenvironments
This project is meant not only for:
An online platform will provide a network of schools in Europe with teaching resources, innovative materials and piloting tools. This project is mainly for lower and upper secondary schools, but also for primary schools, vocational schools and adult education.
Click on the picture to enlarge it
Working on learning environments where modern languages flourish implies that learning goals, teaching practices and education policy converge. From this perspective, the main requirements are to foster plurilingual and intercultural education; to teach how language is embedded in the cultural context of its use; to share to what extent modern languages contribute to general educational aims.
This project is about finding levers which can be used in times of budgetary restraint to strengthen plurilingual and intercultural education, to motivate pupils, to support awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and to enhance language learning at primary and secondary school levels.
These are the expected outputs:
This is a project of the European Centre for Modern Languages within its "Languages at the heart of learning" programme 2016-2019.

09.05.2017EOL network 'Learning environments where modern languages flourish' - 99 partner schools registered
The EOL ECML project "Learning environments where modern languages flourish" has already succeeded in recruiting 99 partner schools and teachers in ten different countries; we will continue to accept new partner schools until the end of July 2017.
The partner schools are asked to register on the website of the project's working platform:
This European network of project partner schools will not only support one another in developing innovative approaches to establishing language friendly learning environments through an exchange of relevant resources, research and practice, but will have dedicated support from the project team throughout the lifespan of their school projects.
Schools that haven't yet chosen a project topic may draw inspiration from the synopsis provided of other partner schools' project topics; a certain number of French schools, for example, are already starting to share their project ideas and are willing to network with other schools from all around Europe to go even further in the development and implementation of their projects.
The "action plan" is an important tool which will be completed by the teachers involved in the project: it will give a handy summary of the different phases of their projects. The schools involved will be able to monitor all the activities which they are expected to carry out. Moreover, all the resources developed by the partner schools will be made available to the entire network. And of course, our partner schools will play a key role in piloting the matrix that has been developed by the project team.
All project outputs such as the synopsis, the action plan, the glossary and the matrix are available on the dedicated project website. The third expert meeting at the ECML in Graz during February 2017 had a packed agenda as so many different tools for partner schools had to be discussed and finalised. This is a truly multilingual project with all documentation available in French, German and English. This, of course, brings its challenges but as a result of the motivating driving force of the coordinator, Jonas Erin from France and the dedicated team members, everything seems to be possible!
At the last expert meeting not only the four team members were present (Jonas Erin from France, Silvia Minardi from Italy, Kristin Brogan from Ireland and Lea Štiberc from Slovenia), but Cécile Sabatier from Canada was also present and actively involved and her input was very much appreciated by the team. Another important "guest" was Monika Klamminger from the Seebacher Gymnasium in Graz. It was a real pleasure to discuss ideas of collaboration with her, as she is representative of our stakeholders.
As always the project team very much appreciated all the support and feedback it received from ECML colleagues, from technical support to constructive evaluation of results. It is nice to know that we all share the belief that this project will make a difference in the learning and teaching of languages.
22.11.2016Learning environments where modern languages flourish - EOL annual report 2016
The consideration of learning environments leads to the question of possible misalignment between school structures (learning spaces, equipment, systems) and school cultures (contents, methods, projects, etc.). In order to help schools develop a long-term inclusive, plurilingual and intercultural school policy, the EOL project team has been working on the best ways for schools to bring their structures and cultures together. For example, the project team created a matrix 1.0., which should help schools identify their strengths and their possibilities for development in the field of modern languages. This matrix also aims to highlight how languages can contribute to general, civic and European education.
In addition, the team created a range of resources which support cooperation with partner schools:
The EOL project team is delighted to work with all stakeholders in education in order to develop learning environments where modern languages flourish. More than 40 schools are already involved in the EOL project. If you believe this could be of interest to you, please click on the following link:

Fremdsprachenfreundliche Lernumgebungen": EOL – Jahresbilanz 2016
Die Überlegung zu den Lernumgebungen stellt die Frage, ob die Schulstrukturen (Lernräume, Ausstattung, Schulformen, usw.) und den Schulkulturen (Inhalte, Methoden, Projekte, usw.) entsprechen. Um Schulen bei der nachhaltigen Entwicklung einer inklusiven, mehrsprachigen und interkulturellen Bildungspolitik zu begleiten, hat das EOL-Projektteam daraufhin gearbeitet, Konvergenzen zwischen Schulstruktur und -kultur zu optimieren. Aus dieser Arbeit wurde eine Matrix 1.0. erstellt, welche Schulen ermöglichen soll, ihre Stärken und ihr Entwicklungspotenzial im Bereich der Fremdsprachen besser hervorzuheben. Diese Matrix verfolgt auch das Ziel, den Beitrag der Sprachen zur allgemeinen, staatsbürgerlichen und europäischen Bildung der Schüler expliziter zu gestalten.
Neben dieser Grundsatzarbeit hat das Team Tools entwickelt, um eine Zusammenarbeit mit den Partnerschulen auf fruchtbarer Weise anzugehen:

29.04.2016Learning environments where modern languages flourish
This new ECML project is focused on creating suitable learning environments that support the learning and teaching of languages. Learning goals, teaching practices and education are all important components in order to create this specific plurilingual and intercultural context. The various links between languages and culture are another aspect of this project. And the question of how far languages can make a beneficial contribution to education is also addressed.
On a practical level the project addresses how to motivate pupils and teachers, how to support awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity and how to enhance language learning.
The target group consists not only of teachers and teacher-trainers but also headmasters, inspectors and decision-makers. An online platform will provide a network of schools in Europe with teaching resources, innovative materials and piloting tools. This project is mainly for lower and upper secondary schools, but also for primary schools, vocational schools and adult education.
EOL Project had its first expert meeting at the ECML in Graz on the 23rd and 24th of February 2016. The team consists of the coordinator Jonas Erin from France, Silvia Minardi from Italy who will focus on translation work, Kristin Brogan from Ireland who will look after communication tasks and Lea Štiberc from Slovenia who will work on the project's website. All four experts met for two days in order to discuss the project's content in great detail and plan ahead for all future activities and deadlines; for example, the second expert meeting in September at the ECML in Graz. Another expert member, Cécile Sabatier, is located in Canada and will join an expert meeting in the future. There are also two consultants available to the expert team: Marisa Cavalli from Italy and Frank Heyworth from Switzerland. Samantha Wickremasinghe, a Master student from the Technical University Darmstadt in Germany, will ensure that there is a close link between research and practice.
The coordinator is currently visiting 10 "academies" (French regional educational authorities) in France involving secondary and primary schools who are all participating in this project. The schools are part of a piloting phase and their participation has been approved by the French Department of Education. Other partner schools in Europe will follow to join the project during the second year.
Year one of the project's duration is concentrating on the French schools and networking; year two will include more partner schools and the creation of a databank of resources (online platform). Year three will focus on the work on indicators and the creation of a label. The putting together of the EOL model will be the goal of the final year.
At the end of the expert meeting the team was fortunate enough to meet a teacher, Eva Einzinger-Scholz, who is working as an English and French teacher at the local secondary school Bundesgymnasium Seebacher in Graz. This was a wonderful opportunity to have an applied approach as a direct dialogue with a representative from our target group was available to ask questions about the project's concepts. The project team members and the teacher all enjoyed and appreciated the discourse. Eva will now prepare the school's profile as a first step of becoming a partner school.
There are three stages of supporting partner schools in this project:
1. Create a language- and school profile as part of the preparation
For example, strengths of a school in the area of languages (language of schooling, languages that are taught, heritage languages; etc.); structure of teaching methods (CLIL, Team-Teaching, bilingual teaching; etc.) and mobility (travel, partnerships and exchanges); specific features of the school (location, facility; etc.) and specific focus points in other areas of the school (PE, art, MINT-subjects; etc.). A template will be created in order to collate this information.
2. Whole School Policy (duration of one school year)
Supporting the project in specific schools based on each school's profile and strengths. The following concepts should be featured: plurilingualism, intercultural approach and inclusive transversal education. Appropriate resources and tools have to be developed for each partner school.
3. Prototype of a suitable learning environment for modern languages (duration of one school year)
Systematic data collection in relation to the whole school policy in order to develop a prototype of a suitable learning environment. Further appropriate resources and tools have to be developed for each partner school.
Apart from concentrating on the deployment of this project; the expert team will also examine categories (suitable themes) of other already existing ECML projects. This will be beneficial to the team when creating relevant resources.

I know I shedded real bad after I had the boys, but that was nothing compared to how much hair I've lost since I had Bella. It's gotten to where I might shower ever day, but I'm only washing my hair twice a week. Each time I wash it then brush I seem to lose handfuls of hair. I found a knot in my hair before bed last night, so I went to the bathroom to see how big it was. With the slightest pressure I used to pull it from the back of my hair to the front the whole entire knot fell out. I just sat down and cried.
I've never really cared about my hair. My idea of making my hair decent is pulling it up, not necessarily brushed either. But this is ridiculous! I feel like each morning I'm going to wake up and be bald, I've even started having nightmares about it.

Rav Yisroel Belsky: Why contrary to the Kolko case he says to report abuse to police without any requirement to consult a rav first!
By Rabbi Daniel Eidensohn (Daas Torah blog)
June 8, 2013
[Update: Sunday June 9 - Rabbi Shmuel Goldin (president of the RCA responds]
The following letter appears on the RCA website with the clear unambiguous statement to go to the police in cases of known or credible evidence of abuse. Of critical importance - it doesn't state that this is conditional on first consulting a rav. Statements such as this by a posek of Rav Belsky stature as well as the RCA are welcome and help clarify the haze that was created by the various conflicting statements of Agudas Israel and others on this matter.
The obvious question is, why in the recent Kolko case did Rav Belsky publicly state that going to the police was mesira while in this letter he states that one should go to the police - without mentioning consulting a rav first. Furthermore the victim's father only went to the police after going to beis din. And only after Kolko stopped the treatment required by the beis din and Rav Sternbuch poskened that he go to the police - only then did he do so. Despite this known chain of events - Rav Belsky still labeled the victim's father a moser! Why? Click link for other documents in Kolko case
The obvious answer is that despite Kolko confession in court - Rav Belsky knows that Kolko is innocent because of his own investigation into the matter. This is similar to the statement of Rav Yitzchok Zilberstein that only rabbis know whether a person is innocent or guilty - not the police and not psychologists. I would also conjecture that both Rav Belsky and Rav Zilberstein would agree with the recent pronouncements of Rabbi Handler that one should always consult gedolim since they have divine assistance in these matters - something which is obviously not available to the police or psychologists. (Of course it is important to note Rav Belsky's earlier letter not only says Kolko was innocent but that the father of the victim was the abuser - which if made by a lesser figure would clearly constitute a vicious slander since there is absolutely no evidence to support the accusation.) All this would seem to imply that - since Rav Belsky and Rav Zilberstein apparently view themselves infallible in their judgements - Yosef Kolko's confession constitutes kefira by implying that Rav Belsky made a mistake. Perhaps Rav Belsky was mochel because he felt that Yosef Kolko only confessed because he thought it would save himself from a longer prison sentence.
Thus we are faced with a disturbing question. If we are to rely on Rav Belsky's infallibility then why is he telling people to go to the police - without first going to a rav? If he is not infallible then we are faced with an incredible chilul hashem made by one of the greatest American poskim - who not only mistakenly declared a pedophile innocent but has greatly compounded the problem by slandering the father and causing him to be driven out of Lakewood. Rav Belsky apparently alludes to this confusion about his true position when he states in his letter, "though some of misunderstood my position". However I fail to see a rational resolution of the apparent contradictions in Rav Belsky's statements. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me in this matter. Hopefully the RCA will issue a clarification to prevent severe damage not only Rav Belsky's credibility but that of the RCA.
If you share my confusion please respectfully send a copy of this post to the OU and RCA
I just sent the following message:
I have been involved for a number of years dealing with various aspects of child abuse and have published three seforim dealing with the subject under the guidance and encouragement of Rav Moshe Sternbuch shlita. One of the most problematic issues is that of mesira and one of the most troubling cases is that of the recent Yosef Kolko case. Even more troubling is the reported actions of Rav Yisroel Belsky shlita - especially when they seem to be contrary to the stated position of the RCA.
I just wrote a post on my blog Daas Torah regarding Rav Yisoel Belsky's views on reporting child abuse to the police. http://daattorah.blogspot.co.il/2013/06/rav-yisroel-belsky-why-contrary-to.html
I respectfully request an explanation of how Rav Belsky's actions in this case are consistent with the accepted halacha regarding mesira as well as the RCA guidelines in reporting child abuse to the police?
kol tuv,
Daniel Eidensohn Ph.D.
Rav Belsky's letter in defense of Yosef Kolko which circulated Lakewood [click link for Hebrew]
My ears should have been spared hearing the horrific news that one of your fellow residents in town informed upon a fellow Jew to the hands of the secular authorities,may god spare us,for which the [Jewish]law is undisputed that one who commits such an act has no share in the world to come. (see:Choshen Mishpat 388:4)After conducting a thorough investigation I am absolutely certain that R' Y.K.[Yosef Kolko],may his light shine, is perfectly innocent of any wrongdoing of any nature whatsoever. And not only is he innocent but it is also as cleartone that all these allegations are fabrications made by [REDACTED].
Further, all the reports made to the secular authorities were only for the express purpose of casting blame for their[the victim's family] own shameful and cursed existence on others. And the truth is that the allegations they make against others are crimes they themselves are in fact guilty of and they seek to cleanse their reputation by blaming an innocent man for their own deeds.
Accordingly, as it is a great mitzvah to rescue the pursued from the hands of the pursuer and to make it known that the righteous man is right and the evil man is evil-to rescue a pure and righteous soul. Therefore, anyone who has the ability to rescue the righteous and does not do so is considered as if he is himself the pursuer. (See: Rambam - laws regarding informing 1: 14) Thus, all who have the ability to influence the informers that they should retract their terrible deeds
should do so.

We have supported Rennaisance 21 since it's inception. The founder has taught in summer programs in concert with University of Washington outreach for homeless kids, STEM summer program. Additionally they have taught at Seattle Girls school , a statewide Leggos challenge, seeking new ways for disabled persons to have robotic assists for activities of daily living. The teams compete, and there are statewide awards. Renaissance 21 did receive an award for their SGS team. I encourage anyone interested in expanding the opportunities for minorities and underprivileged groups to donate to this organization.
