Quick question on breaking the fast, is oatmeal ok? I've been drinking OJ and some soup what about oatmeal?
Quick question on breaking the fast, is oatmeal ok? I've been drinking OJ and some soup what about oatmeal?
This was my third MC, but only the first one where I did the post cleanse by the book. I finished my third post-cleanse day with a romaine salad, yogurt dressing, steamed broccoli and rooibos tea. In addition, I am taking a multi-strain probiotic pill with each meal. I never had problems coming off the first two, but it seemed if I did the first portion properly, I should also try the recommended post cleanse method as well.
I know that about 5-6 lbs I lose during the MC comes back pretty fast. Simply filling the intestines with solid foods again must be the reason. Strangely, I have still been dropping weight during these three days. Perhaps, that is one difference.
I sincerely doubt that I will ever become a raw foods person. I am originally from Wisconsin. The love of good cheese is in my DNA. The best that I can expect is a little moderation. I want to see how long I can stay off of a the daily meat regime. I welcome any suggestions.
It is nice to be caffeine free again. I can get spun enough on grapefruit or orange juice.

HEY!! Good Luck on keeping the weight down and trying to keep healthier...I am with ya on the cheese thing....I don't think I could go strictly raw...maybe if I lived all by myself...but even then.....Some things are just way too yummy for me...I hope to cut a lot of meats, dairy and proccessed foods out of my weekly meal plans...but all together is still a stretch for me....If I can stay away from mochalattes' I will be thrilled...I know they are what packed the pounds on this past year!!!!
I wish I already new exactly how to juice and all...Just haven't made anything to yummy in my past attempts..but will try again!
I cheated on my 9th day and then decided to just properly break the fast the next day, but I really don't want to go back to eating again, I want to keep going!
What happened: on the 9th day I went to someone's place and instead of saying, I don't feel like eating, I went ahead and ate a little, it was couscous and some kind of sauce, and a piece of garlic bread, I didn't eat very much, but immediately felt sick but not too sick. And they they offered gelato for dessert.. the strange thing was, I ate it, but I didn't really feel like eating it, I'm not sure why I did it. ~sigh~
In any case, I decided to break the fast normally this morning, I started this day drinking my orange juice, but I don't want to! I want to go back on the cleanse and just keep going!
Can I do that? Can I just restart? I'm not going to be able to go home till the evening so I won't be able to make any lemonade really till the next day...
This has been a great experience. I've lost 8 lbs, I slept better at night, I have energy during the day, don't feel like I'm dragging myself, I just want to keep going...
nevermind... I went ahead and just broke the fast completely...
Thinking about breaking the fast. Today is my Day 26, and I'm no longer Coasting. Ha. I was shooting for 30 days. Previous was 15 days. I am thinking A LOT about food. Can anyone recommend a brand of probiotics?
I am a longtime lurker in serious distress. This is my third cleanse. I have done two 10 day MC successfully about once a year prior. This time I had been feeling highly stressed which took a toll on my health (heart palpitations, nausea, dizzyness, migraines, etc) so I decided to do a cleanse. Well I dont know if the fact I was already sick when starting this is what failed me or what but up to day 3 I was fine, but days 4 thru 8 was absolute hell. I havent been drinking more then about 20-20 oz of the lemonade cause of serious lack of appetite. And water dinking is basically nonexistant. Which has caused me to get in serious dehydration mode. My lips are severely chapped and my throat feels like it has a tear in it so when I DO drink the lemonade it burns my esophagus like crazy.
So the past few days I have been even more dizzy, headaches, nausea, et al... And last night I totally blacked out at 3 in the morning and hit my head against the tub on my way down. I feel like I got hit by a linebacker at this point.
At this point I can go to the ER and have them give me an IV for a few hours to hydrate me but I dont know if that would have a negative effect introducing chemicals in my system after a MC.
So today, on my 8th day I have decided to stop the cleanse and am drinking fresh orange juice today and will try to down some vegetable broth tonight. I have never had an unsuccessful cleanse before. Has anyone else gotten dehydrated doing this?
Praise is what I do...
It looks to me like you didn't get dehydrated doing the cleanse. You got dehydrated by NOT doing the cleanse as written. The minimum 6 glasses are there for a reason, as is the recommendation to drink at least one glass of water for every glass of lemonade. And if you are having symptoms like those you experienced, then you need to drink even more. Sounds like you managed to churn everything up but then didn't set the stage for the toxins to be flushed out.
Next time you do the cleanse, come in with the mindset that you will absolutely take in the minimum amount of liquid whether you feel like it or not.
As for going to the ER, you need to do what's right for you. Dehydration is an extremely serious condition. And if there is indeed something else going on, you'd probably want to know.
Good luck!

Hey guys so I eased in 2 days, did the Master Cleanse for only 5(this is my first time and it was really hard for me!), and break it today. I haven't had any lemonade today, just carrot/apple juice and orange juice. I nibbled on a banana earlier and a really mushy mango, and ate just a small slice of apple. Is it too late now to switch back to lemonade and keep going? I really planned on quitting today, but at the same time I feel so close to the finish line...
Also - is it still beneficial at ALL to have done it for just 5 days?? I know I'm not getting all the benefits but I want to know I did at least SOME good.
Thanks guys!

Captain John Brown was a white settler man who took up arms against slavery in the USA. Today\, May 9th 2013\, would be his 213th birt hday. This event is a call for folks\, especially white people opposed to white supremacy and racism\, to gather to review the life and death of cap tain John Brown and discuss the implications of this historical figure. Pe ople are encouraged to have these discussions everywhere on this day\, thi s particular event will take place in Seattle\, WA at the Black Coffee Coo perative. Being as such\, our discussion will focus very much on the white ness of Seattle and challenging white supremacy and racism here and among ourselves.
\nThe following end to Dan Berger's article "Refusing to Surrender: John Brown and White Anti-Racist Struggle" points to the import ance of this discussion.
\n"By critically reclaiming Brown\, we can acknowledge his faults and celebrate his success. We can counter the domin ant historiography that makes Brown and white anti-racism appear to be "cr azy." This pathologizing process is yet another way white supremacy appeal s to white people. A critical reclaiming of Brown counteracts this histori cal revisionism\, but the critical analysis is key. From Brown's achieveme nts and mistakes we learn the necessity to wage militant\, principled anti -racist struggle on all fronts. From welfare cutbacks to civil liberties a ttacks\, from border militarization to race-based incarceration\, from env ironmental racism to affirmative action\, from education to health care\, from colonization to gentrification\, there are many sources of struggle. Radicals\, especially white ones\, must combine a revolutionary vision wit h a radical analysis and liberatory strategy. It is our job to pick up whe re John Brown left off."

Key Features
"Although there were many unique opportunities in this program - including homestays, excursions, living with the Mapuches, and amazing professors - by far the best experience this program has to offer is the ISP. The month of ISP was the most rewarding experience of my time in Chile. I not only got the opportunity to meet with people in a field that interested me the most, but also I gained a sense of independence and self-responsibility that I can carry with me for the rest of my life."
—Program alum
Discover the economic and political changes shaping Chile.
Analyze the ongoing process of modernization in Chile and its impact on the country´s culture, identity, economy, and political system.
The program consists of three main components:
- An eight-week homestay with a Chilean family in Santiago and concurrent courses at the Universidad de Santiago
- A series of educational excursions to northern and southern Chile
- A four-week Independent Study Project (ISP) at the end of the semester
Each component highlights a different perspective on Chile's evolving national and global identity and deepens students' understanding of the social and political underpinnings of Chile's export-driven economy.
Santiago (program base) — Live in Chile's modern capital city and financial center
Santiago provides a vibrant and relevant context for the study of Chile's political and economic development. While in Santiago, students live with host families and attend lectures and seminars given by professors, politicians, and social leaders at the Universidad de Santiago and other locations.
Intensive instruction in Spanish
This program gives students the chance to improve their Spanish significantly while experiencing Chilean culture and studying the impact of recent economic and political changes.Intensive Spanish instruction incorporates classes and short excursions that contribute to students' immersion in Chilean culture. The language course also helps prepare students for the ISP period.
Students will also improve their speaking, writing, and cross-cultural field study skills through daily interactions with their host families.
Educational excursions and field studies
As part of their field study experience, students participate in group educational excursions throughout Chile that enable them to observe and interact with different communities.
Highlights include:
- Travelling to Antofagasta to visit one of the world's largest open-pit copper mines. While there, students will learn about the importance of copper mining to Chile's history and economy.
- Visiting Valle de Elicura in the south of Chile to live among indigenous Mapuche communities and learn about their ongoing struggle to maintain their culture and identity in 21st-century Chile. Learn more about the program's excursions.
Independent Study Project
During the final month of the semester, students focus on an Independent Study Project (ISP). This gives students the opportunity to closely examine a topic related to political systems and/or economic development in the context of Chile. The ISP is conducted in Santiago or in another approved location appropriate to the project.
Students choose ISP advisors from among the many professionals affiliated with the program. In the past, students have used their ISPs as a jumping-off point for more advanced research conducted through Fulbright and Rhodes scholarships, or in graduate school.
Sample ISP topics include:
- The importance of Chile's copper industry
- The concentration of media ownership in Chile
- The effects of the 2010 earthquake on Chile's wine industry
- Microfinance for rural women
- Identity assertion among Mapuche university students
- Women's reproductive rights in Chile
- The impact of the economic crisis on the salmon industry
- The tourism industry in southern Chile
- Ethnotourism in indigenous communities
- Milk cooperatives and issues pertaining to their survival in Chile
- Free trade agreements and their importance for the Chilean economy
- Public policies addressing pollution in Santiago
Duration: 15 weeks

RBS Six Nations Ireland v. Scotland teams -- Loss of key Irish players could be a blessing in disguise

Irish captain, now injured Paul O'Connell |
During Ireland's 17-17 draw with France in Paris, the other side of playing without a true openside flanker was obvious as Ireland's physicality allowed them to come close to their first victory in Paris in a decade.
Sean O'Brien may have had a quiet game as a ball carrier, but he, Stephen Ferris and Jamie Heaslip imposed themselves on their French counterparts.
Toughness and aggressive play is something that the Irish side has lacked in recent times. It was very fulfilling to see the attitude and confidence breath through the team once that changed in Paris last weekend.
In fact, the team's first try was as a result of more aggressive play.
Ireland generally employ a drift defense which is designed to drop off attackers and squeeze the space forcing them to the sideline. Instead, this past weekend Ireland aggressively attacked the space by targeting the french players opposed to forcing the ball wide and giving up yardage.

The ten very best ways to spend St.Patrick's Day this year
This aggressive play, coupled with some poor French passing, allowed Tommy Bowe to steal an interception for the opening try of the match. While most will simply blame the French players for lackluster passing, the reality is with a less aggressive attitude, Bowe would never have been close to being in position to make that play if he hadn't changed his defensive mindset.
While Ireland exhibited more physicality and aggression in the first half than at any other time since prior to last season's world cup, the second half wasn't a similar story as that physical dominance was lost.
Even though Ireland didn't lose the game, surrendering the lead without scoring in the second half made it feel like a loss. The fact that the squad lost two starters for the rest of the tournament only disheartens the nation further.
The silver lining for fans, and the team alike, is that the team's performance on the field could actually be improved by the loss of Paul O'Connell and Connor Murray.
In France, Ireland were at their best when the pack attacked rucks and quick ball came from the scrum half. In the first half, Murray was getting the ball away quickly however in the second, he was repeatedly caught or affected by French players.
Murray dropping out of the team will allow Eoin Reddan to start once again. Reddan is an experienced international who plays the game differently to Murray.
While Murray provides a more physical presence around the breakdown area with the threat to run with the ball, Reddan specializes in getting the ball to his out-half in the quickest possible fashion. Reddan isn't palpably worse than Murray, he just offers different strengths and weaknesses which will alter the way Ireland play the game.
Reddan can only pass the ball away as quickly as he gets it. Losing Paul O'Connell should actually help him in that area of the game.
O'Connell receives a lot of praise, rightfully, as a world class lineout jumper. He also receives a lot of praise as a world class second row. However, unless his lineout play is enough to justify that, O'Connell isn't really a loss to the Irish team.
His leadership will be missed, but from a sheer rugby point of view, a pairing of Donnacha Ryan and Donnacha O'Callaghan will better benefit Ireland as a whole. O'Callaghan and Ryan aren't as big a fan favorites as O'Connell because they do a lot of work that goes unnoticed by the typical rugby fan.
While O'Connell spends most of his time around the ball, O'Callaghan and Ryan focus on hitting rucks, making tackles and contributing to the overall aggression of the pack. The Munster duo fill the role that second rows are naturally built to fill. They should only really have the ball when they are taking part in lineouts.
Instead of doing this, O'Connell spends a lot of his time as a ball-carrier for Ireland. Simply be their dimensions, tall and with a high center of gravity and plenty of surface to hit, second rows are not built to be ball-carriers.
O'Connell regularly lines up as a first receiver or waits in midfield to receive the ball and rarely makes ground. Ireland use O'Connell as a ball-carrier to present the ball for their scrum-half because he is not a line-breaker. He doesn't have breakaway speed or power to really impact the game as a runner.
Without O'Connell on the field, Ireland will have two second rows who are committed to hitting rucks which will in turn provide quicker ball for Reddan. It will also afford the back row players more opportunities to carry the ball.
Even though Sean O'Brien will also miss the game through injury, having Peter O'Mahony, Jamie Heaslip, Cian Healy and Rory Best as ball carriers should make Ireland a much more punishing and difficult team to play against.
With more penetration, quicker presentation and faster passing, Ireland's back-line, and team as a whole, should be a greater attacking force.
If not a greater team altogether.

Press Release
Personalised prostate cancer screening may save thousands from unnecessary treatment
Monday 5 November 2012
National Cancer Research Institute Press Release
Targeting prostate cancer screening based on a man's age and genes could potentially save thousands of men from unnecessary treatment and save the NHS millions of pounds. The research is presented at the NCRI Cancer Conference in Liverpool today (Monday).
The researchers, funded by Cancer Research UK, developed a theoretical model to compare the effectiveness and cost of two different approaches to prostate cancer screening.
The model showed that a personalised approach – based on a man's age and looking for the common genes that increase the risk of prostate cancer – would result in fewer deaths from the disease and cost tens of millions less for the NHS to roll out compared to screening all men aged 55 to 79 every four years with the PSA test.
The model also showed 50 per cent fewer men would need to be screened and 18 per cent fewer men would be diagnosed with the disease – possibly reducing the problem of over-diagnosis and saving men from unnecessary treatment that can lead to side effects like impotence and incontinence.
Men in the UK are not screened for prostate cancer as part of a national screening programme. This is because the only available test, the PSA test, is not an accurate indicator of whether a man does have cancer and cannot reliably tell if a cancer is aggressive and so needs treatment.
Instead, men who ask for a PSA test are given information by their GP to help them understand the pros and cons before they decide whether they want to go ahead with the test.
Study author Dr Nora Pashayan, a Cancer Research UK clinician scientist at University College London, said: "We don't have a screening programme for prostate cancer because the benefits are outweighed by the harms. Identifying men who are more likely to develop prostate cancer and targeting them for screening could potentially save thousands of men from overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. We're now refining our model to develop more definite predictions which will then need to be tested in trials to see if this approach will have the effect we predict."
Each year over 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the UK, with over 10,500 men dying from the disease.
Professor Peter Johnson, Cancer Research UK's chief clinician, said: "There is great uncertainty about the usefulness of screening for prostate cancer using the PSA test, with many men finding it difficult to weigh up the pros and cons. This research suggests an important way to select men for whom testing may be more worthwhile, which points us in the right direction for the future. Cancer Research UK is already funding research that is looking at targeting screening to men at a higher risk of developing the disease."

The criminal justice career field keeps expanding on all levels. A more security-conscious society combined with population growth continues to increase the demand for police services, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
This increased demand is the result of heightened security concerns, increased litigation and the need to protect confidential information and property of all kinds. The proliferation of criminal activity on the Internet will continue to require more security and investigative professionals. Employee background checks will become standard for an increasing number of jobs.

Summary and Book Reviews
The Marriage Plot: Summary and book reviews of The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides
Perhaps it is my affinity for English majors, or perhaps it was Eugenides's embrace of realism and a character-driven plot, but the pages of this novel flew by, despite the book's respectable heft. It is neither a breezy, beachy romance novel nor an intricate, challenging tome, but is balanced squarely between those two poles. Producing a work that is equal parts pleasure and intellectual debate, as the author has done, is as difficult as it is admirable. Eugenides is one of the few literary novelists with a large following and a great amount of popularity among American readers, and The Marriage Plot serves as another example of why his work is so enjoyable.

In addition to a film and theme park attraction, development of a Mido Dino interactive game and children's book are also in the works.

I am currently looking at job opportunities and the two most enticing are either a developer at a medium sized company or i have been offered a job at a new startup.
The money at the development company is much better but from an experience point of view im wondering if joining the startup will open up bigger oppertunities.
Up till now i have been freelancing websites and have a business degree with a major in computer science. So i havent worked as a full time developer at a company either so the experience there may also be beneficial.

Uhuru Kenyatta, indicted for alleged crimes against humanity and the son of Kenya's founding father, had an early lead Wednesday in the presidential election.
With a little more than 40% of the vote counted, Kenyatta was ahead at 53% to 42% over his main rival, Prime Minister Raila Odinga, according to the election commission website.
If Kenyatta wins, he will find himself in an unusual quandary.
He has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for allegedly inciting a local militia to conduct reprisal attacks in the last election.
His running mate, William Ruto, also faces ICC charges at The Hague. Both have denied the charges.
Kenyatta said that if he is elected, the indictment will not affect his ability to do his job.
"I don't think that's an issue that anybody should be concerned with," said Kenyatta, a deputy prime minister. "I have been a member of the government and I've still been able to execute my duties. I still believe I will be able to execute my duties as president once selected."
The international community should respect the will of Kenyans, he said.
"If they do decide it's me, that's a domestic issue left to the sovereign democratic will of the people of Kenya," he said last week. "Any friend of Kenya must recognize that and must take it in their stride."
'Skype government'
But Odinga has raised concerns about the indictment, saying his opponent plans to run a "Skype government" from The Hague.
Kenyatta has maintained a lead since polls closed after Monday's election, but it is still too early to declare a winner.
Analysts have raised the possibility of a runoff.
The election carries significance far beyond its borders.
As the largest economy in East Africa, Kenya is a crucial trade route into the rest of the continent and provides an important buffer of stability in a region that includes the fledgling Somali government and the politically tense Sudan and South Sudan.
Kenya is also a major U.S. ally in the war against Islamist militants in the region and has remained relatively peaceful amid civil wars in neighboring nations.
'Hiccups here and there'
As Kenyans eagerly await the outcome, glitches with the new electronic voter system are affecting the tallying, officials said.
Counting has slowed down after the electronic systems failed, forcing officers to manually deliver paper copies of vote tallies, according to Odinga's campaign team.
The election commission urged citizens to be calm and patient, hoping to avoid tension and distrust in the system, which contributed to post-election violence in December 2007.
"Sometimes a couple of computers would get kind of out of whack and would slow the process down," said Abdullahi Sharawi, a commissioner of Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission.
"Definitely, there is going to be some hiccups here and there, but I think, when you assess the whole, then we think the work, so far, is very good," he said.
United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon urged Kenyans to maintain peace.
"I have been encouraged thus far by the largely peaceful and orderly process, despite some incidents of violence and some technical problems," he said.
Eager to avoid violence

In Goa mines are closed. In Bellary, iron ore mines, once closed, have been opened on the condition that they will now follow a plan for environmental restoration and will not indulge in unseemly and distasteful activities. But the institutions for checking the reformed miners are still in disarray. They cannot monitor and enforce the rules. So, believe it or not, little will actually change in the Bellary landscape.
The rupee has crashed, growth is down and there is panic that the India story may be over or, at least, seriously dented. For most commentators, the underlying reason for the decline is green regulations. They think environmentalists are squarely to blame.
2011's person of the year, according to Time magazine, is "the protester". Clearly, this is the image that has captured the world—from dissent against the lack of democracy and repression in large parts of West Asia to anger against economic policies in vast and disparate parts of the world. People, all over, are saying enough is enough. But what will happen to these voices in the coming years? Will the movements of protesters be enough to change the way the world runs its business? Do these movements even know what they want?
As I write this piece, the finance minister has dispatched the Union Budget 2011. The press is busy reflecting the views of business and industry lobbies, as they quibble over duty exemptions, insist on financial stimulus and other incentives, and cry for big-ticket reform—foreign direct investment in retail and insurance. The only other discussion is about the growing fiscal deficit: will the finance minister give in to populism while extending the programmes for the poor? Or will he raise taxes to pay for the growing developmental needs of the country? The finance minister, it would seem, is caught between two battles: of checking the bulge in fiscal irresponsibility and of meeting the need for delivering governance.
There is no doubt US President Barack Obama was in India on a business trip. His recent electoral losses weighed heavily with him when he stitched up deals, reportedly worth US $10 billion, that would create about 50,000 jobs back home.

Hello everyone! Just now have been listening to one of the best Shpongle tracks ever (imho) wich is Beija-Flor. And i couldn't help but wonder - who's singing the lyrics? (track time 7:20) Doesn't look like it's been specially recorded for this track. So i guess there's an original "Beija flor" (is it spanish?)
So if anyone knows who's the artist of the original beija flor track - please tell me.
'cause i looked 'round the net and noticed that there's like a hundred "carloses" and "joses" who sing the damn song. Which one is used in shpongle?..
Anyway, it's sad that there's no more shpongle.com :(

I'm just glad I don't let some archaic rigid superstition control my life. I only wish we had a more creative symbol of atheism other than the cropped atom which religious zealots love to make fun of.
"Atheism is not a belief. It is the default situation into which every innocent is born."
You know how many times theists have told me that Atheism is a belief? It's absurd.
I tell them it is not belief it is non-belief.
"Oh, God, Pride of Man, Broken in the dust again"

That "God" is inside, yes... All-powerful, All-knowing subconscious that we all learn how to connect to in some way of our own... giving us those powers if we listen and learn and evolve WITH that subconscious.... we are never alone.

"Mama," she says to Haider's sister Zainab. "The flower in my sandal has come off."
"It's OK," Zainab reassures her.
"So Noor calls you mama?" I ask Zainab.
"Yes," she says. "And Fatima, too."
They are the two women who took over as primary caregivers after Soad died in 2008. She underwent routine gallbladder surgery but did not survive the complications afterward.
The family blames Iraq's medical system. They say all the good doctors fled the country once the war began. They also say Soad died of a broken heart: Her son Bashar was still behind bars and Noor was struggling.
"My mother did everything for her. She spoiled her," says Hanan, another one of Haider's sisters. "After she died, it was different. We all have our own lives, our own children. There's less and less time for Noor."
Soad worried constantly about her granddaughter's future. She made the family vow to never forsake Noor.
Zainab stepped into Soad's role. Noor, she says, is keenly aware of her situation.
She asks Noor sometimes: "Who is your real mother?"
"Iman," Noor answers.
Zainab tells Noor that she will take her back to live with Iman, if Noor desires.
"She didn't want me," Noor answers. "She left me. ... You are my mother."
As she grows older, she is more and more conscious of Zainab and Fatima having to help her urinate by inserting a catheter.
They are still using the plastic tubes that Childspring gave them. They use each one three times but only have about 100 left and don't know if they are available in Baghdad. Sometimes, she suffers from urinary tract infections, which have to be treated with antibiotics.
Typical of spina bifida children, Noor also cannot defecate by herself. Increasingly, it's a source of embarrassment.
One time, Fatima asked a local neighborhood boy to run to the store to buy the pads that Noor wears to school in case of uncontrolled leakage. Noor was upset. She didn't want an outsider to know.
Sometimes, Noor breaks down in tears when she can no longer stand to be around normal children. She looks into her aunts' eyes as if to get affirmation of her situation.
She once had a fight with one of her cousins who told her: "I am better than you. I can walk."
Noor screamed back: "Some day, I will walk."
She constantly tells Zainab: "I want to walk like the other kids."
"Inshallah," Zainab answers. God willing. Zainab doesn't know how else to answer.
"When she sees other children, she gets frustrated, depressed," Zainab says. "It eats at her from the inside. She knows her mother didn't want her. This affected her greatly."
At night, Noor often sleeps next to Zainab, holding onto her tightly. "I am sad," she tells her.
Recently, Zainab told Noor she is engaged to be married and might soon move away to be with her husband in Dubai.

Interior Design Camp Orange County was a hit!
We are still buzzing from Interior Design Camp Orange County at the Laguna Design Center! Each and every camp we learn something new and are filled with a fresh spark of enthusiasm. This was our biggest and best camp yet (164!) and we're so grateful to everyone who attended – Counselors, Campers and Sponsors. You are all so amazing and YOU are what makes this event great!
This camp brought a theme of Passion and Positioning to our world of design. Passion for what gets you out of bed in the morning, excites and drives you. And Positioning your business, brand and marketing and how this all feeds back into your ultimate success.
Like everyone else, our brains were overflowing with so many ideas and inspiration, and our cheeks were sore from all the smiling and laughing. We watched as connections were made, ah-ha sparks were lit and as camper Monica Nordquist said, had "a bonfire lit under me".
Our line-up of incredible speakers this camp included the Design Elite Kathryn M Ireland, Timothy Corrigan, Nathan Turner, Adam Japko (Digital Sherpa), Cliff Fong, Barbara Deckmeyer, Katy Garrett (Connexion Software), Phil Pallen, Bill Indursky (Design Life Network), Julie Thigpen (Belle Maison), Paloma Contreras (La Dolce Vita), Builder John Finton, Pamela Jaccarino (Editor-in-Chief ofLuxe Interiors+Design), Jason Clark of Hansgrohe, Christopher Kennedy, Christian May (Maison21), Tracy Burge and Julie Arcelay (Sub-Zero Wolf), Jeff Andrews, Brian Van Gorder (BVG PR), Rich Pedine (RP PR), Aaron Danzig (Williams-Sonoma), Jennifer Convy, and Penelope Francis. Amazing!
The Opening Night Party, hosted by Sub-Wolf Zero was incredible and we had a wonderful time (despite the Southern California rain – what?) P.S. We can't wait to visit their huge new showroom in Orange County soon!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a cool, inward wine.

Layers of fruit begin to flesh out on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The spellbinding 2009 Clos Martinet is a blend of 65% Garnacha (including some Garnacha Peluda), 18% Carinena, 11% Syrah and the rest a mixture of Cabernet and Merlot... The palate is medium-bodied with firmer, more masculine tannins compared to the Cami Pesseroles. There is a sublime symmetry at..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... This is a gorgeous wine, a classic blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, 10% Counoise and the balance the other permitted varietals in the appellation. Deep purple, with loads of bouquet garni, beef blood, blackberry, kirsch, smoke and truffle, this wine is full-bodied, rich and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is lush, sweet and inviting. Today the 2007 doesn't quite have the sheer visceral thrill and excitement of the 2006, but it more than makes up for that with its early approachability. Dark red berries, spices and crushed flowers are layered into the finish. There..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, ratchets up the level of succulence, juiciness, and opulence. It is a fabulous, compelling effort of multiple dimensions.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "I had very high expectations for the 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart and was not disappointed. Actually, that is an understatement. The 2002 is a flat-out great Dom Ruinart... Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with no end in this subtle, sexy Dom Ruinart... The 2002 convinces for its..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The sawdust and graphite aromas turn to cherry and raspberry flavors in this vibrant, complex red. A beam of sweet fruit imparts energy and resonance, carrying this to a long, expansive aftertaste. The finish shows potential.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is unusually elegant in 2010 with its refined nose of raspberry and earth though there are background notes of grilled meat and smoke. The supple, mouth coating and utterly delicious broad-shouldered flavors possess a silky texture yet there is plenty of power and punch to the very firmly..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bright, deep red. Captivating violet lift to the aromas of cassis, minerals, bitter chocolate, licorice and sexy oak; I would have guessed this had a good deal of cabernet franc.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks was born June 7, 1917, the first child of David and Keziah Wims Brooks. Her birthplace, Topeka, Kansas, was the home of her maternal grandparents, but at the age of five weeks, she and her mother returned to the Brooks's residence in Chicago, the city in which Brooks would live for most of her life. Her brother Raymond was born in 1918.
David Brooks, a janitor, made only modest wages. His children's lack of material luxury, however, was offset by a warm home atmosphere that nurtured culture and creativity. David loved to sing, tell stories, and recite poems, while his wife enjoyed singing, playing the piano, and directing plays for young actors.
As a child, Brooks was encouraged to read and to dream. By the time she was seven, she was expressing her thoughts in two-line verses. This precocity prompted her mother to predict that her daughter would one day become "the lady Paul Laurence Dunbar." Brooks continued to write, producing at least one poem per day, mostly about nature and romantic love. At thirteen, she published her first poem, "Eventide," in American Childhood. Three years later, she became a weekly contributor to the Chicago Defender's column "Lights and Shadows." By the age of twenty, she had published poems in two anthologies.

Biography (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Writing from her own experience, Gwendolyn Brooks captures black life in both its poverty and its beauty. Her ability to portray beauty comes from her use of varied poetic forms and linguistic devices such as diverse rhyme schemes and diction from earlier eras. In her three best-known collections of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville, Annie Allen, and The Bean Eaters, she shows personal growth. In the first collection, she is objectively descriptive, in the second, reflectively autobiographical, and in the third, more consciously aware of widespread social and racial problems. Her poetry has touched many readers, regardless of their color.

Biography (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Gwendolyn Brooks, the child of loving parents who valued learning, was encouraged to write. Her father provided a desk and bookshelves; her mother took her to meet the writers Langston Hughes and James Weldon Johnson. After being graduated from Wilson Junior College, she was married to Henry Lowington Blakely, also a writer, in 1939.
From Langston Hughes she received encouragement to write about the everyday aspects of black life. She wrote about relatives she knew or stories she heard growing up. Her early poetry also reflects her dreams for romance. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Annie Allen traces the growth of a young woman from childhood to maturity. Brooks was not, however, a romantic poet. Her work exhibits a realistic and unsentimental understanding of what it means to be a black woman in twentieth century America. The strength of her poetry lies in its illumination and criticism of a society that does not respect and reward those who are good. The forms of her work often contain a similar criticism of the literary world: Annie Allen, for example, is a parody of a traditional epic poem.
Brooks's novel Maud Martha compassionately explores a woman's search for identity and her resulting spiritual growth. Many African American themes are illumined: The light skin versus dark skin motif is one. Much in the...

Biography (The Sixties in America)
Early Life
The parents of Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks, a janitor and schoolteacher, encouraged the young girl's literary gifts and provided a loving home and an excellent education for her and her younger brother. As a high school student, Brooks received advice from African American poets James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes. After attending Wilson Junior College, she studied poetic technique in the Southside Community Art Center, where she read modern British and American poetry and began seriously to consider a career as a writer. She married Henry Blakely in 1939 and is the mother of two children. Her early poetry, which centered on African American life in Chicago, was written in conventional style in the European American tradition. Brooks was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1950 for her second collection of poetry, Annie Allen (1949).
The 1960's
The year 1967 was a turning point in Brooks's creative work. Although themes of black consciousness appeared in her 1960 collection, The Bean Eaters, Brooks's awakening came at the Black Writers Conference at Fisk University in 1967, where she met younger African American writers committed to the Black Power movement. From that time, she directed her poetry to an audience of African Americans. In...

Biography (Critical Survey of Poetry: American Poets)
Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks's poetry bears the strong impress of Chicago, particularly of the predominantly black South Side where she lived most of her life. Although she was born in Topeka, Kansas, Brooks was taken to Chicago before she was a year old. In many ways, she devoted her career to the physical, spiritual, and, later, political exploration of her native city.
Brooks's life and writings are frequently separated into two phases, with her experience at the 1967 Black Writers' Conference at Fisk University in Nashville serving as a symbolic transition. Before the conference, Brooks was known primarily as the first black Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry. Although not politically unaware, she held to a somewhat cautious attitude. The vitality she encountered at the conference crystallized her sense of the insufficiency of universalist attitudes and generated close personal and artistic friendships with younger black poets such as Madhubuti, Walter Bradford, and Knight. Severing her ties with the mainstream publishing firm of Harper and Row, which had published her first five books, Brooks transferred her work and prestige to the black-owned and operated Broadside Press of Detroit, Third World Press of Chicago, and Black Position Press, also of Chicago. Her commitment to black publishing houses remained unwavering despite distribution problems that rendered her later work largely invisible to the American reading public.

Biography (Cyclopedia of World Authors, Fourth Revised Edition)
Shortly after Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks was born, her family moved to Chicago, where she grew up and later made her home. During the 1930's, Brooks received her associate degree in literature and arts from Wilson Junior College and served as publicity director for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Youth Council in Chicago. She married in 1939 and had two children. She and her husband separated in 1969 but were reconciled in 1973.
A major voice in contemporary American poetry, Brooks published her first book of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville, in 1945. Here she introduces themes that occupied her throughout her life: racism and poverty, life in the American family, the trauma of world war, and the search for dignity and happiness in a society that denies these to many.
Brooks's early poetry is characterized by a uniform narrative stance. A sensitive observer tells verse stories about ordinary people, many of whom are ghetto dwellers entrapped by social, economic, and racial forces they can neither control nor understand. Brooks describes the many ways her characters seek security and hope: through religion, through integration of the races, and through careless and profligate living. Pursued to excess, all these attempts to escape have one thing in common—they fail. The activities are used...

Gwendolyn Brooks is best known for her lyrical style of urban poetry, such as in "We Real Cool," a poem about a subject she knew very well: the problems of African-American youths in the mid-twentieth century. Born in 1917, Brooks spent most of her life in Chicago, Illinois. Her father was the son of a runaway slave, and her mother was a teacher. Her parents recognized her writing talent early on and encouraged her work. In high school, Brooks' mother took her to meet the famous Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes. Inspired by his advice, Brooks was soon publishing her own poetry. By the age of seventeen, she had more than one hundred poems in print, and her subject matter was frequently the difficulties of growing up black and impoverished in America. Brooks died in 2003, a celebrated voice of African-American literature.Essential Facts
