The virtual world has moved to reality for a generation that has grown up with Myspace and Facebook, sharing music and pictures, and updating “friends” on the latest meals.

Sharing services such as Bay Area Bike Share, Zipcar and Rent the Runway provide young adults short on cash or looking to save a few bucks the option to rent bikes, cars and high-fashion clothing.

“My sister used Rent the Runway and that’s why I decided to use it, too,” senior Sophia Kelley said. “I went to Neiman Marcus first to try on the dress to make sure it fit, then rented it for prom.”

Founded by Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Carter Fleiss, Rent the Runway’s website allows members to rent designer fashions and accessories for a four to eight-day period. Website users can toggle through designers like Badgley Mischka, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein, Vara Wang in order to find the right outfit or piece for the occasion.

“I went to two proms last year,” Kelley said. “I felt bad buying a dress that I would only wear once. It can be expensive, but compared to the real designer prices, it’s a bargain especially

for a one-time occasion.”

Renters have the option to receive a second dress in another size at no additional charge to ensure a dress that fits, especially when the dress can only be rented a few days before the event.

Dresses arrive with a prepaid envelope for returning the item after the event. The dress is then dry cleaned by the company, saving the renter the extra hassle.

Bay Area Bike Share allows members to rent bikes from stations scattered around downtown San Francisco and down the peninsula to San Jose without the responsibility — or cost — of ownership. Bike riders are limited to 30 minutes per use, and bikes can be locked them at the nearest station once the excursion is over.

“The MTC — the Metropoli-

tan Transportation Commission — had a grant available to put in the bikes in the city,” Ralph Borrman, Public Information Officer for the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, said. “The Air Quality District applied and agreed to join together with other companies to make a regional program in the Bay Area.”

‘Flipped teaching’ frees up class time Teachers use ‘inverted classroom’ to allow for other activities during class.

Tatiana Gutierrez Editor-in-chief

Junior Zara de Matran says she spends Sunday and Tuesday nights sitting at her desk at home watching a video of Science department chair Ray Cinti teaching a lesson on physiology while she types notes on her laptop.

Teachers across the curriculum have begun incorporating inverted classroom methodology into their classes by assigning work, such as watching videos of themselves teaching their lessons as homework in order to

use class time for other activities.

“I’ve always felt the responsibility to cover content material sufficiently, then students would be able to apply those knowledge points into experiment,” Cinti said. “When there is limited amount of time, sometimes both of those things don’t get covered properly.”

Cinti uses flipped teaching in his freshman Honors Biology, physiology and AP Biology classes, posting videos on YouTube and having students turn in notes as homework.

“I thought it was an impossible problem and it couldn’t be solved,” Cinti said about finding enough class time to teach lessons and have students perform labs. “Then I got the point of the instructional videos I had seen on the Internet. I thought, ‘Maybe you could instruct students or discuss content remotely, and then students come in and you leverage the fact that when everyone’s present.’ That’s when you do community things like discussion, group design or more labs.”

History teacher Michael Staf-

ford incorporates flipped teaching in his project- based style of teaching.

“The thing about flipped teaching is it really puts the emphasis on students taking care of easy things by themselves,” Stafford said. “They are doing the harder things like higher orders of thinking in the classroom — where there is a teacher — and where there are peers that can help them out.”

Stafford started using the inverted classroom in August with his History II classes.

On the cutting edge Salon opened by Convent Elementary moms provides service to children and teens on Pacific Heights Camilla Bykhovsky & Sarah Selzer

NEW DO Hairstylist Kate Shinamoto cuts the hair of a young

boy, who preferred not to be named, at Prep on Sacramento Street.

Prep Cuts caters to children as young as age two to 18, but their services are available to people of all ages. Prep Cuts also features their own hair products such as conditioner and shampoo which can be purchased there. The salon offers cuts, color, styles and blowouts all which can be scheduled online.

Learning beyond the classroom

Two elementary school parents unable to find a haircut salon that made tweens and teens feel comfortable, have opened up a new shop in Pacific Heights that caters to younger customers.

Prep, started by Heidi Odell (Owen, SHB and Vivian, CES) and Jen Reinhart (Greedon and Ben, SHB), is celebrating its first anniversary this month.

“We could not find a good place to get our kids haircuts,” Reinhart said. “Around our neighborhood the places where we originally got our kids hair cut just weren’t that good. Or, because they were getting older we had to take them to an adult salon, and that wasn’t really fun for them either.”

The hairstylists at Prep trim, dry or straighten any type of hair.

“I went there last month, and it was definitely a pleasant sur-

prise,” freshman Paula Gutman said. “Jen and Heidi were so open and welcoming to me, and really gave me a haircut that I can enjoy.”

Prep hair products do not include chemicals like paraben, a preservative that increases shelf life, but also increases levels of estrogen, which can lead to

“ ” It was definitely a pleasant surprise.

breast cancer. Odell and Reinhart also avoid produces with sulfates which can also cause eye and skin irritation.

“Before coming to Prep, I was not aware of the effects of these chemicals, but I feel like now I need to lookout for these things in the products I use,” Gutman said.

Prep hosts parties once or

twice a week that include hairstyling services such as blowouts updos, braids, highlights and coloring for any occasion as “girls can sit back and relax” at the salon according to Odell.

“We decided when we started this business that it would be really fun to have an alternative for girls to be able to come and have a party here for their birthday or a get together for graduation or for anything for a special occasion,” Odell said.

Depending on the type of style, hair color or cut, prices for hair care range from $20 to $55. Prices for specific haircuts can be found online at the Prep website, http://Prep.com.

“My favorite aspect of the salon is meeting all the kids that come through here,” Odell said.

“We’ve had a great time getting to know all the kids that come in and converse with us about their daily lives. It’s awesome that we get to know most of them on a first name basis.”

Companies market to a sharing generation Rent the Runway, Bay Area Bike Share and Zipcar allow members to share clothes, bikes and cars.

YOUTUBE SENSATION Ray Cinti uses his YouTube channel for posting homework and notes for his science courses.

From Teachers p. 1 “The first thing that I realized was that I wasn’t challenging my students very much,” Stafford said. “I was challenging them to read and take notes and memorize, but memorization and regurgitation and reading never really challenges their brains in analysis and evaluation and creation.”

Students spend class time working on group projects relating to a specific period in history. They receive instructions for the project, and then refer to their books for information.

“The projects are really interesting,” sophomore Gwyneth Dunlevy said. “I don’t like that we really only learn about our topic. I know we are supposed to learn from our classmates but it can be difficult since it’s not something I’m used to.”

Stafford reserves the end of class for students to clarify concepts. If there is a topic that most of the class is concerned about, Stafford makes a short video answering the questions.

“The videos are helpful since they are always there,” Dunlevy said. “When I’m working on my project and I’m unclear, I can always refer back to the video. It’s not extremely time consuming since the videos are relatively short.”

Cinti started teaching through videos last year with his physiology class.

“The videos are helpful because you can always pause and go back if you missed something,” de Matran said.

“It makes the lecture time a lot shorter and bearable because it’s not as dense information coming all at once.”

Cinti uses the majority of class time for students to work on labs, but reserves time at the beginning of class for questions anyone may have on the lesson.

“We’re spending time in class doing science,” Cinti said. “I know it sounds odd, but in the past we were doing more school work. Now we’re doing more science work and in the end maybe that’s what’s going to lead students to become a scientist.”

From Generation p. 1 agreed to join together with other companies to make a regional program in the Bay Area.”

An annual member key or ride code unlocks the bike from the station. All bikes come with one white LED light and two red LED lights for night travel and a front rack with bungee cords for securing bags.

“The idea for the Bay Area Bike Share is a ‘last mile solution,’” Borrman said. “With stations at Caltrain and BART, you can either wait for the bus, or just hop on a bike to work.”

Memberships vary from $99 annually to $22 for three-days and $9 for a 24-hour period.

Registration is available to people 18 years or over with a credit or debit card on the Bay Area Bike Share website.

Based on the same idea as Bay Area Bike Share, Zipcar allows users to reserve cars from multiple locations and use the vehicle around town for a few hours or the whole day, then return it to any open Zipcar location.

For people who do not want

the process of renting a car, but do not want the burden of buying a car, car sharing offers a solution.

“I use Zipcar almost three times a week,” Setareh Mozaffari said. “We only have one car in

our family, so when my husband used it, I would get a Zipcar for groceries or to take my son to his basketball games and rent a bigger car for carpools.”

Stations are located in San Francisco, Oakland, San Rafael and San Jose, as well as stations all over the world, available to all members. Cars vary from hybrids to SUVs. Using a car for the day requires a reservation of a car at a lot, which can be located and processed through a computer or on a mobile device. Members

use their Zipcards to unlock the door by swiping the card on a device on the windshield.

At the site of the reserved vehicle, the Zipcard — which is sent when a membership is processed — unlocks the door through the swipe of the Zipcard on the windshield.

“It is so easy and convenient,” Mozaffari said. “I just rent it for lets say two to three hours and return it once I’m done. Thirty minutes before the time is up it sends you a text, asking if you want more time so you don’t have to pay the $50 late fee.”

Rental rates on cars range from $8.25 an hour to $89 per day. Choosing prepaid driving gives the option of $50 per month for seven hours of driving, to $250 a month for 36 hours of driving. All plans include gas, insurance and a driving range up to 180 miles free per day and you must be 21 years old to obtain a membership.

CONVENIENCE A Zipcar is parked on California and Steiner streets between rentals. Zipcar offers its users the ability to pick up a vehicle at one of its many locations in the Bay Area and around the world.

Stations house three to 10 or more cars depending on the location. Rates on cars depend on the type of car and how long it is used.

Students misinterpret change in policy

A

misinterpreted policy change implemented at Schools of the Sacred Heart is causing an uproar of criticism of the administration, with accusations of students being banned from organizing school events to benefit charities. The reality is students may still raise funds, but the process of vetting the charities has changed.

A proposal form must now be submitted to a review committee before an event is planned. This form is designed to ensure that the funds are going to a legitimate charity that meets the goals of the Schools.

The proposal form asks for information about the charity and its relationship to the Schools. While thorough and time consuming to complete, the form encourages students to dive deeper into how charities spend their money.

Gossip spreads like wildfire at an all-girls school and with that, inaccurate information. It

is easier to believe a friend than to question and investigate.

The donations to tomorrow night’s Smile Ball — despite the name — will not go to children with cleft palates, but to Student Council. The heads of the Smile Ball club had the option to fill out a proposal form to donate the money, but the action was not carried out.

Unaware of the circumstances, many students began to believe that the Smile Ball was simply vetoed by the “administration,” rather than not executed properly.

Similar rumors surround the

Simple Gifts Fashion Show, an annual February event which raises money for a selected charity. In light of the new policy, the club heads have already begun completing forms to ensure that a charity will indeed receive the proceeds.

Circulating rumors without

The truth about hookah

Hookah is a type of water pipe containing a “water jar� which connects the tube to the bowl at the top. Shisha, or flavored tobacco, is placed in the bowl and capped with heated charcoal. The smoke is pushed down the tube and filtered through the water before exiting through the hose attatched to the basin.

Hookah originated in the Middle East, but has become increasingly popular around the world.

Hookahs generate smoke differently than cigarettes. Cigarette smoke is generated by burning tobacco, while hookah smoke is produced when tobacco is heated in a bowl using charcoal. However, both create smoke containing carcinogens.

In the United States, hookah is most frequently used among young adults, with 21% having used it.

Many view hookah as a safer alternative to cigarettes, mistakenly believing water in the jar filters out toxins.

Hookah smoke contains more toxins than cigarette smoke, like nicotine, carbon monoxide, tar, heavy metals and other hazardous substances.

=

The caterpillar in Alice and Wonderland is often depicted smoking a Hookah.

Cigarettes Cigarettes Cigarettes Cigarettes Cigarettes Smoking hookah is more dangerous than smoking cigarettes in the same quantity.

Cell phones prove not to be the only distraction while driving. Passengers and their actions in the car can cause fatal accidents.

Aoife Devereux Jaime Hum-Nishikado

A

T&T’s campaign “It can wait” encourages the driving population to stay off their phones while in the car.

But when it comes to keeping your eyes on the road, teen drivers are not only on their phones, but are also distracted by their friends, the radio, snacks and sleep deprivation.

Teenagers often consider a “good driver” as someone who has the ability to control a car at dangerous speeds, however a “safe driver” obeys all the traffic laws while maintaining a safe speed, according to Allstate’s Teen Driver online guide.

“When I think of driving with distractions, I think of people talking or texting on the phone while driving,” junior Alexandra Wood said. “It did not occur to me that driving other people or listening to music while driving could be considered a distraction.

These things happen almost all the time.”

Five seconds — the amount of time spent looking at a text while driving — which can be critical in driving conditions.

“Today the most distracting thing for teen drivers is texting,” Allstate agent Jan Hannah said. “You are taking your hand away from the wheel and looking away from the road.

Talking and texting is equivalent to driving drunk. The frequency of drivers [on the phone] with accidents is the same for people who drive intoxicated.”

Fifty-five percent of young adults claim it is easy to text while they drive, according to the Texting and Driving Safety website.

“I do not like texting while driving because I know that if I look at my phone while the car is in motion, I am not giving my full attention to the road that is in front of me,” Wood said. “But I will admit, I have once or twice texted my parents at a red light and it was only for one second.”

As much as texting is a distraction, so are passengers. California state law prohibits

drivers who have held their provisional drivers license less than a year to drive others under the age of 20.

“Accidents for teenagers goes up when there are other teenagers in the car,” Hannah said. “Keep your friends in check and do not have the music so loud that you can feel it in your heart, all of these distractions can be so dominant to your senses.”

Driving with friends or relatives can be distracting with loud talking, quarrelling over music selections or horseplay, according to California Department of Motor Vehicles.

But not all student drivers agree.

“I love driving my friends around and I don’t find them to be a distraction at all,” senior Camille Bolli-Thompson said. “They keep me more focused because I’m responsible for not just mine but their safety as well.”

In 2010, 59 percent of teenage passenger casualties occurred when another teenager was in control of the vehicle.

“I absolutely hate driving my friends around,” senior Lizzie Whittles who drives a Mini Cooper said. “At times, they can be super distracting and their weight makes stops and starts harder because it involves more work to break and accelerate when there is a car full of people.”

Keeping a clean driving record for the first three years of holding a license is imperative because the combination of being a new driver with a fine makes tickets and insurance very expensive, according to Hannah.

“Driving records play a big part in creating insurance rates,” Hannah said. “Younger drivers are much more likely to make a claim because they have higher rate of having accidents due to their lack of experience.”

Everyday in the United States, more than nine people are killed in car accidents that involve a distracted driver, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

“Keep your music reasonable, keep your friends in check, and definitely put down your phone,” Hannah said.

Sarah Selzer Senior Report

nlike the typical gym where training equipment is spread out with each exercizer working at her own pace, women of all ages cycle together by candlelight to loud electronic music at SoulCycle spin classes.

“I enjoy SoulCycle because it doesn’t feel like a hard or incredibly painful workout,” sophomore Natalie Podell said.

“It’s an incredibly amazing fitness program, with super nice and upbeat music that helps me enjoy the workout.”

Co-founders Elizabeth Culter and Julie Rice started their fitness centers in New York City to create a place where indoor cycling could be inspiring, according to Tatum Getty, Bay Area Marketing Director.

“I think SoulCycle has revolutionized cycling fitness,” Getty said. “Our motivational and inspiring instructors are very authentic and send positive messages to the riders during each class while getting an amazing

workout in.”

SoulCycle instructors encourage riders to cycle with company while listening to selected playlists where the classes last 60 minutes.

“Each person is expected to not let the cycling pack down by continuing to work throughout the whole class,” Getty said.

“The pack can work together, not against each other so the workout doesn’t become competitive.”

Classes including Soulyoga, Soulsurvivor, Soulband and Soulteen which entails yoga, cardio and muscle strengthening are $25. Studios are located around the country, and a facility is planned to be opened on Union Street later this year.

“It was a nice opportunity to get some exercise in a stressfree environment,” sophomore Victoria Osterman said. “It’s not as intense like other sports or an athletic commitment. It’s one of those types of classes where the atmosphere is naturally friendly, where everyone is positive and having a good time

Each fitness studio has multiple bathrooms and a locker room shmeared with SoulCycle’s signature yellow brand color. In the back lies the fitness studio with SoulCyle custommade bikes, candles, and surround-sound speakers around the room.

“You really get a five-star

year!” and then, “It would be fun to play, but you have to focus on basketball.”

I made the decision to rejoin volleyball two weeks before senior year started. But traveling around California to play in basketball tournaments, I was only able to attend three of the 20-plus open gyms over the

nent of motivational coaching as well.

“There is an image on the back wall of our studio that is a winding road set for inspiration,” Getty said. “The road represents your own path in achieving physical and mental strength within each class to find your soul and ride with the pack.”

Two teams, too stressed

have played basketball since I was 5 years old, and I have dedicated all my time and effort into the sport — going to countless numbers of tournaments and practicing for hours on end — so coming back to play volleyball for my senior year has been stressful and exciting at the same time.

During my years off, I watched the volleyball team reach playoffs and go far in North Coast Sections. Cheering the girls on from the stands, I imagined myself being on the team, coming into the middle of floor cheering for every point we made. I would tell myself, “You can play!

You should play for your senior

experience here at SoulCycle,” Podell said. “The customer service at SoulCycle is top notch.

It’s the most luxurious experience I’ve ever witnessed in a gym setting with great washroom facilities and state-ofthe-art biking equipment.”

Beyond providing an intense cardio workout, SoulCycle also incorporates a mental compo-

summer. At the first pre-season practice, I struggled and failed to hit the ball over the net.

With work, I was on varsity, but when practices began, I was completely lost in the sets the coaches were trying to run — I did not understand the terminology. Eventually, I got the hang of it, but during practice I

looked at the six baskets around the gym and all I wanted to do was grab a basketball and shoot.

When it was time to play our first game and the lineup was called in the huddle, I was shocked to hear my name called.

I didn’t expect to start. During each game I found myself hitting harder and blocking stronger, but I still couldn’t get basketball out of mind. It kills me everyday that I cannot play until this season is over.

We are now making our way into the playoffs and I expect us to come out as winners. My mind is focused on getting to the championship game and bring-

ing the trophy home, but in the back of my mind, I know this volleyball season will spill over into the start of my basketball season and I won’t be ready.

This thought makes me feel uneasy. A part of me wants to leave the team now so I can focus on my “real” sport, but I can’t quit during the most critical part of the season — physically or mentally.

I’m proud that I’m honoring my commitment, but that doesn’t make it any easier. The big picture of playing two sports looked great from the outside, but I wish I had taken the time to compare schedules and ask, “What if?”

SPORTS ROUND-UP Fall sports teams wrap up their seasons and the captains tell us about some highlights.

Cross-country Volleyball Mikaela EsquivelVarela

“In league we’ve lost only once,” co-captain Mikaela EsquivelVarela said.

“It’s because we run together at practice and end up pushing each other to work harder.”

Record: 6-2 Next meet: Tomorrow for BCL West Championships.

Alexandra Wood

“Since we started communicating on the court, our defense and servereceive has gotten a lot better,” cocaptain Alexandra Wood said. “Our goal is to eventually win championships and make it far in NCS.” Record: 10-5 Next game: Information not available at press time.

Tennis

Golf Anna Lyons

Abby Newbold

“The whole team fought hard to get into semifinals this year,” cocaptain Abby Newbold said.

“Our hard work and dedication paid off when we placed third in the league overall. ­That’s the best varsity tennis has done in the last 10 years.”

Record: 6-2

“We won all of our matches in league as well as the qualifier for North Coast Sections,” captain Anna Lyons said. “It hasn’t been done since the league started.

We got fourth in NCS, which is better than anyone in our qualifier has ever done.”

Record: 6-0

Sailing Francesca Dana

“Our team is so focused this year,” co-captain Francesca Dana said. “I think we all have a better mentality of what we want to get out of sailing. We all have goals that are more and more becoming reality.”

ager and Dress’ business partner said.

According to Dress, TRESemmé usually partners with four well-known clothing designers for Fashion Week and sponsors their shows. Dress attended three of the four shows with TRESemmé-sponsored designers Jenny Pakim, Vivian Tam and Rebecca Minkoff.

“We were tasked with bringing Fashion Week assets and TRESemmé print ads to life,” Boccio said. “Together with the brand team, we were able to create something we were really proud of. We did everything in about three weeks, which is a really fast turn around.”

Dress has previously worked on campaigns for deodorant, soap and shampoo, and now continues to work with TRESemmé.

“It may not be the first career right out of the gate,” Dress said, reflecting on the process of developing her profession. “I think that we need to be more adaptive in our thinking about career paths.”

Schools modify policies for fundraising Ashley Latham Senior Reporter

Schools of the Sacred Heart has clarified its fundraising policy to comply with the expectations of with being a 501c3 nonprofit organization, which means a change for some student-led clubs that collect funds for outside organizations.

Dances and bake sales are still encouraged, but students must complete a proposal form in order to assure funds they raise will go to their charity, according to Head of School Rachel Simpson.

“It’s more of a clarification of what the school can do legally,” Ronald Bannerman, Vice President of Finance and Operations, said. “The obstacle we run into is that a 501c3 cannot raise money

for another 501c3.”

“An organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual,” according to the Internal Revenue Code.

Clubs can continue to raise awareness for their causes by having dances such as Smile Ball and holding annual events like the Simple Gifts Fashion Show, but each club must come up with a formal proposal if it wants to raise funds for its cause, according to Sarah Leffert, Vice President of Advancement.

Each proposal must go through a special committee, currently comprised of Leffert and President Ann Marie Krejcarek, for reviewing charity

proposals and the experiential benefit for the student body. The committee will meet bi-monthly in order to look over requests.

“We hope to have both faculty and student representatives join the committee throughout the year,” Leffert said.

The committee was formed to educate the community about how the school chooses to fundraise as well as to approve fundraising. The committee will also examine the appropriateness of the mission of the charity in accordance to Goal 3, “Schools of the Sacred Heart commit themselves to educate to a social awareness which impels to action.”

Proposal forms are available to any student or club. Those who wish to use the school to fundraise must complete a for-

mal proposal. The point of the proposal process is to assure that the school is raising funds for organizations that are a hundred percent charitable, according to Leffert.

“The school will limit the number of external programs the students directly raise funds from the school community, but this does not limit the participation of our students in externally organized fundraisers,” states the proposal form.

Applicants must state for whom and where the money will be going, how has the school been previously involved in the organization, and how the community can evaluate the organization in the proposal.

“The form isn’t difficult,” Simple Gifts Sophia Kelley co-chair said. “It’s just detailed.”

A separate section on the form requests facility use for fundraising activities. All requests to use the school facility go through the same process, but external organizations requesting complimentary use of facilities are reviewed by the Business, Advancement and President’s offices.

Proposals must itemize budgetary needs for the project, including how to raise funds, how long the project will last, and how the community will be informed of the project. The proposal forms are available in Activities Director Devin DeMartini’s office.

“The forms are not hard or impossible to do,” DeMartini said.

“The new policy exists to hold the community accountable.”

TIME TO PLAN FOR SERVICE TRIPS It’s not too early for students to consider summer Network service opportunities. Applications come out Dec. 2, are due Jan. 15 and require teacher recommendations.

“I really enjoyed my trip to New Orleans last year,” junior Christina Berardi, who volunteered in New Orleans, said. “I built a house for the first time, and it was very rewarding. I never realized how much destruction the hurricane (Katrina) caused, and this trip really opened my eyes.”

ents and colorful fashion trucks set up next to one another selling clothing, accessories, and foods for adults, kids and pets on the west side of Treasure Island during the last weekend of every month for the Treasure Island Flea.

“The flea is kind of a mix between a farmer’s market and a yard sale,” senior Alyssa Viscio said. “There are a lot of vintage clothes that are really cute and cheap, but there is also a lot of weird junk.”

The flea is located next to a grass field filled with over 30 food vendors, including Japanese, Indian and Hawaiian cuisines. Nearby a local band plays live music throughout the day.

“I have been vending at the TI Flea for about a year and a half,” Christina Ruiz, owner of Top Shelf Style said. “I keep coming back with my fashion truck because the TI Flea has always been supportive of mobile retail, which, when I first got started, not everyone was.”

Besides shopping and eating, activities

like do-it-yourself classes and scavenger hunts within the flea invite shoppers to interact with the market.

“The whole vibe of the Treasure Island Flea is fun and friendly,” Cyndi Grasman, owner of Bad Pickle Tees said. “I definitely would want to come back soon and do it again.”

With a twist of a Halloween theme and costumes in multiple booths, the Treasure Island Flea promises a Thanksgiving theme for November.

“I think the Treasure Island Flea has and will keep evolving into somewhat of a shopping destination for very stylish fashionistas,” Ruiz said.

Treasure Island is a 10-minute drive from downtown San Francisco over the Bay Bridge. The 108 Muni bus also runs between downtown and Treasure Island.

Tideline Water Taxis are also available from Pier 15 and Pier 1.5 and stop right next to the flea.

The next flea is scheduled for Nov. 2324 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Admission fee is $3 for ages 12 and up.

Hot Sauce and Panko also offers delicious thick-cut, smoothly-battered onion rings, shoestring fries and buttermilk waffles alongside any of their 12-wing options. The large, fluffy, buttery and creamy waffle is heavenly to munch on between each wing and comes with the option of butter and whipped cream.

The condiments counter is stocked with a few for-sale hot sauces for sampling with your meal as well as several different flavored syrups, chocolate sauces, and to my delight — caramel for your waffle. A thin to thick drizzle of caramel with melted butter accentuates the waffle’s sweet essence perfectly.

The adventurous must indulge in the Ultra Goliath Waffle Sandwich which is filling while being a sensational collaboration of flavors. The sandwich is two pieces of boneless chicken kara-age (breaded chicken strips) stuffed between a squishy waffle. The mixture of the sweet cabbage, sriracha caramel sauce and zesty kewpie mayo makes every bite a perfect one.

The restaurant’s small size, large kitchen, and a wall of over 100 different varieties of hot sauce for sale only leaves room for two indoor and two outdoor tables.The walls are adorned with quirky pictures, hot sauce warning signs and tiny action figures.

The menu changes frequently, adding new flavors to your Hot Sauce and Panko bucket list. Updates are available on Instagram @ HotSauceandPanko.

don’t even like chicken wings, but Hot Sauce and Panko on Clement Street and 17th Avenue has changed my opinion.

The menu offers a variety of astounding flavors and incredible seasonings that make gnawing on a chicken bone worthwhile.

If I had to choose one of my favorites, Chris’s Honey Salty Crispy Pepper is some kind of wonderful. The crispy outside is sweet as can be with a pepper twang that will get you licking sweet oils off your fingers and wishing you had gotten the larger size.

Be forewarned about the Ghost Pepper Crunch wings. The lingering spice causes immense tongue pain that manifests itself and stays burning on your lips like a evil spicy spirit. Repeat: These wings are dangerously hot!

The KFC is not the fast food chicken from the Colonel. Korean Fried Chicken wings are coated in a sticky red layer of the house Gochujang sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. The coating has a hot almost sriracha taste yet is a mild enough spice to refrain from panting.

The Lime-flavored wings are a must-try.

Coated in a mixture of caramelized fish sauce, lime juice, garlic and roasted chilies, these wings come with enough juice at the bottom of the box that you’ll want to dip everything in. Each juicy wing has a semi-crunchy shell peppered with mild chilli flakes covering the thick, succulent meat.

Portions are sized regular for $6.49 (seven or eight pieces) and large for $9.49 (11 or 12).

Ordering several regulars is perfect for large groups and for getting the most variety for the price.
