Lightless, the van tramped the path. Whenever I hear this story—in all of its incarnations, in the versions that feature Mona and the versions (like my mother's) that don't mention her at all—it always begins without light. This is my father's creation tale, his making. And so it begins in the dark. That silver van was older than either of them, and it rumbled and spat, yet my uncle drove slowly and without headlights in hopes that he and my father would go unnoticed. They called it this—the path—because it led between town and the place they'd made camp for the week. It was not a path, but ribbon of crushed grass where dandelions hung their frozen heads over the precipice.
My uncle squinted at the windshield. When he drinks, he reenacts this blind drive, squinting, tilting up his scarred chin, pretending not to see my mother, my cousins, or me sitting around the kitchen table, the milk crates on the porch. He leans close to his invisible wheel, his horned elbows butt my face, and I always laugh. My father sipped his beer and leaned out the window, navigating loudly—left left—watching for ruts, for dark things that could tuck under their wheels and upturn them. If the van began to roll, it would continue, the brothers folded inside, through the blue fog and down the mountain. "Who says things like that?" my uncle opens his black eyes wide to ask his audience, to prod my father's shoulder. My father shrugs, rejoins "Who was right?" He smiles, closelipped, ashamed of his teeth. My father thought of this often, he thought of it now as a branch snapped under the tires and the van skidded. Foam splashed his wrist. Splinters struck his arms. His dogtags chimed. When the tires settled, he sucked his wrist and eyed his younger brother. "Learn to drive." My father smiled, he smiles, his teeth dim in his beard.
The fire at the camp was fatter and longer-limbed than when they left. These are my father's words, fatter, longer-limbed. His voice is gentle in his throat, cradled, so that I sometimes lean in to hear. I imagine his blaze in its flesh, its orange, its beckoning. Even my mother, who is a practical woman, tries to conjure the flames as she tells it. The campfire sits in my brain, and maybe in hers, as The Fire—none other as hot, as wild, as brightly burning. When my seventh grade boyfriend burns me with a lighter's unimpressive tongue, I tell him this. He blushes, he walks across the football field and back to the school alone. The group of teenagers had swollen, too—at least a dozen clustered on tattered blankets, on the dirt. They weren't surprised. Since the morning Mona caught Tom taking his bath in the lake, each night more appeared. Mona and Juan at first, then others whose names they didn't learn. They had money—enough—from their month in Texas dust pumping gas and eating tinned beans, so they kept buying beer and the kids kept coming, and nobody from town asked them leave.
A tall boy broke from the trees with an armful of wood. He fed it to the fire piece by piece. The kids scattered, dancing back from the bright spray. My father's pupils pinned their fleeing brown backs, the fluttering beneath their necks. He leveled his flat pink finger. Tom let the van coast to a stop. My father aimed and whispered a shot. Thirteen times. The dry pop of his lips, the glottal rush of breath. He crouched behind the window, steadying the fourteenth—the tall boy dusting his palms— in his sight.
He doesn't say this, no one does, it sneaks through the story, heavyfooted; I don't have to ask. My cousins climb over one another when he aims at us. Through lawn chair slats, beneath the tabletop, he chases us slippery and screaming to the edge of the pond, to the edge but never in, never where the bottom is muddy and the water is dark and children could lose themselves, their toes, to the rock-and-leather snappers. My father is bare-chested and enormous and he gathers us three under his humid arms, carries us back to our dinners. Just before my tenth birthday my mother, who's never liked the game, clasps his finger midcock.
Six months later, Christmas, we watch a fifties Western in our pajamas while my mother's at Mass; some dusty hatted anti-hero in a dark saloon peers over his whiskey, hand twitching at his holster, watching the world go by one body at a time. "That's how it is," he says, his own hand pink and bloated at the knuckles. His candy cane's reddened tip bobs at the screen. He's excited, leaning over his knees, nodding rapidly. "That's exactly how it is." He turns to me, laughing, his hard palm warm on my head.
When he was finished, he swung a case of beer above his head and waved, relieved. The teenagers cheered.
Two boys and Juan trotted to the van. They grinned at my father and convened around my uncle, chattering as they helped him unload. Tom knew the same spattering of Spanish my father did: what they learned from the Mexican drifter they taxied across the river, from the toothy, bickering sisters who ran the registers at the Amoco. But the teenagers had decided that he—darker and habitually silent—could be talked to. Tom stood in the back of the van, rooting quietly through the cooler, distributing Budweiser and hard packs of hotdogs to the boys below and nodding intermittently.
My father passed between them, shouldering the beer. Mona sat alone on a blanket near the fire. Despite the cold, her legs were bare to her chapped knees. Her tennis shoes cupped one another in the dirt. "Jimmy!" she called—one of the few English words she knew. He doesn't say, he never says, but in the slow, soft way he says her name I hear how He loved the cinders in her voice, the way each word crawled from her in its own ash carapace. He hesitated, as if he couldn't see her. He wanted to hear it again. "Jimmy!" She raised her skinny arm.
Mona was not a beautiful girl. Not nearly as pretty as Mommy, he says, and puts his mouth to my hair, whether she's around or not. His chapped lips scratch my forehead.
His head in Mona's lap, Tom whispers this, "his head in her lap, like a dog," when I am seven and he is recovering from a fever and my mother's in the kitchen cutting cucumber wedges for snack, "like a dog," my father reached into the case and tossed beer after beer into the air. The kids dove through the grass—wrestling over the beers. A few cans rolled into the wet-eyed dark; these, the younger ones chased. Mona giggled; muscles spools in her belly wound, unwound, against his ear. Since yesterday, she'd painted her toenails orange. Puckering, sucking on some sour thought, he taps my thumb. "Don't ever use that. Must be the ugliest color they make." I steal a bottle of Carrot Dream from the drugstore and sleep with it under my pillow for weeks, until the cheap seal cracks and I wake up tasting varnish. I wrap the bedsheets in two thick plastic bags before I throw them away. My mother asks what happened; I say I wet the bed, I cry. I cry honestly. My father secrets me under his arm and walks me to the kitchen for breakfast, casting black glances at his wife who stands stiffly in her bathrobe, holding a sack of trash at arm's length. I am convinced he knows, that he can smell the orange, and I cannot look up from my milk.
A fat, waxy child folded on Mona's blanket and sat near my father's thigh. Wheezing, he studied his salvaged beer. My father watched a wing of ash flit onto his shoulder. It perched. An uncaught can whistled on its way into the fire, then exploded. My cousins demonstrate every summer, again and again. The blue flames—yellow smell. Juan and his friends ran back to the group, whooping. My father tipped his head and laughed. The child, still gulping air, darted after another lost beer, pumping his thick white arms to keep with the others.
Juan squatted next to my uncle, making and unmaking fists as my father kissed the cups of Mona's collarbones, traced the curled fingers of her ribs, drew rings around her navel through her dress. Sometimes, my father caught Juan watching as she stroked his beard, the tangled hairs beneath his shirt. Her brother? Boyfriend? This, no one seems to know. My father alternates. He gets up from the table if I interrupt, if I ask "but last time…", and then the rattling forks my mother quiets are all the story left. Brother, lover, it didn't matter. Juan, like Tom, had a knife—and no gun. He stood a full head above my father, but his tendons strained too taut under his skin. Still an unripe nut. When he grew into a man, Juan would be strong.
Threads of the fog froze and fell. My father sat back as Mona wound her legs, tentacular, around his waist. My father is a shy man, won't brush his teeth in public, won't kiss my mother openmouthed if I'm close by. He says: "we sat on the blanket", but he studies his bitten cuticles, Tom's eyebrows bump around in his forehead, and my mother looks away. But I imagine. Mona touched the red welts the snapped branch left on his arms. She frowned, making the fretful "o" sounds girls make. I know the noise. I've made it myself, sitting on a blanket, undressing, undressed. She bent and kissed the air above the wounds. His fingers searched the scabs on her knees, the fuzz guarding her thighs. The brothers were leaving in the morning, headed someone new. Tonight, then. When the screams began, my father thought someone had thrown another can into the fire—the hiss, the detonation. He grasped the prickled skin on her ass and laughed.
Another scream.
Mona dismounted, clasping her skirt tightly around her. She spun away from the fire—toward the lake, the caves, the tunneled, discharging dark.
Tom's hand crept to the knife in his pocket. The fire spat. My father rubbed his knuckles—which smelled like Mona— into his beard. He considered his rifle, hidden under a t-shirt in the van.
The brothers looked at one another, each gauging if the other wanted to get involved. They'd had messes like this before, stepping in where they weren't wanted. They've got other stories. About girlfriends, boyfriends, wives in secluded places—the corners of highway rest stops, the midnight parking lots of constructions sites and abandoned buildings, patches of bushes or trees. At first, they fought. But the Michigan man my father had to shoot in the stomach and the deep purple scar his beaten wife burrowed into Tom's forearm taught them to be less zealous. So they studied each other in the fickle light. What to do.
Again, closer, the wailing.
The tallowy child began to cry. "Alejo." Mona's whisper was fierce. I can hear them both—the whimper, the reprimand. She opened her palms behind her. My father made room on the blanket as Alejo came close. She softened into sibilance and held the child's hand. She offered her other to my father, and he took it. She felt her bones shift between his fingers, and he loosened his grip, then let go. He had no idea how to manage this hand.
The tall boy, the one who'd fed the fire, sat on his heels next to Juan. The two conferred, their dark heads bobbing. Solemn, they turned toward the crowd. Juan nodded, and the boy announced, "La Llorona." My father mispronounces her: "Larona" Tom—"Leona"—is worse. They take her "weeping" from her. Mona pulled Alejo under her arm. The small ones crept in. There was suddenly no room on the blanket, and my father stepped out of the hot, whimpering mass.
My father didn't understand. "Do you know her?" he asked, looking now at Mona (busy petting the children) and now at Juan. Juan studied my father, patient. "Do you know her? If you know her, let's get her." Juan turned to Tom, his black eyebrows flat across his forehead, awaiting translation. Tom stared past them.
My father strode across the grass and towered he does tower, he rises like steel and glass and skin over the squatting boys. "Do you know her?"
Juan stood. "Do you know her?" he repeated. He cocked his head, puzzled.
My father was abruptly very sure that Juan did understand him. That they all did. That there was some plan at work here—some ruse. He restrained the urge to feel the boy's face crunch and wet beneath his hands. He retreated to the van. He felt Mona's warm eyes follow him, he felt the small trembling hoard around her.
Inside, the screams faded. He surveyed their things. He knew precisely where he'd stashed the gun. He'd wrapped in a shirt and stuck it half-under the passenger's seat. But in the van, the air was cold and clean and he did not feel the need to rush back. He was angry—with them, with her— he felt betrayed—by them, by her— and he needed to wait before facing it all with a firearm. He took a pair of jeans from the hotplate, folded them, and placed in his bulging duffel. He lifted the lid of the cooler and felt immediately satisfied. It was full for the first time in months, since they packed it in the back of this two hundred dollar van. Full, and with luxuries: a package of steaks, milk, a box of butter. They bought the steaks two days ago, but decided they'd wait until they left the mountains. They didn't mind sharing their food (the Mexican had eaten with them for weeks), but there were too many teenagers. If they fed everyone even with potatoes and canned things, they'd go hungry until they settled long enough again to find jobs. The best they could do was the hotdogs, which Tom had bought by the case, and which my father—disgusted— wouldn't touch.
The back door opened, and Tom's sharp, dark face pushed into the van. My father sat on the mat they'd bought to wipe their feet on, but never did. He balanced his shotgun on his legs. He was drinking slowly from the carton of milk. "They're terrified," Tom said. "It's some kind of ghost story." My father offered the milk to his brother. Tom drank, then refolded the lips, and tucked it in the cooler. "Some mother drowned her kid. Seems that now she's looking for it." Tom smiled. "But she'll take anyone."
My father tapped the barrel on his boot. "Did they tell you all this in English?"
"What? No."
"Then you know a hell of a lot more Spanish than I thought you did."
My uncle examined my father carefully. I've seen this look, this wary watching, as if waiting for something unpleasant to hatch. He watched the gun, the hands with their wiry hairs and their fidgeting fingers. "They acted it out for me."
This felt plausible, and my father grunted softly.
Tom jingled the keys in his pockets. "They're afraid to leave. I'm thinking I'll drive."
"All of them?"
"Two trips."
"Let's do this, first." My father scooted past Tom and dropped onto the ground through the open door. He grinned. "It'll be fun."
The kids had gathered into a single group. My father heard Mona and Juan arguing. Their spindly arms gestured violently toward the van, down the mountain, toward the lake on the far side of camp. He dragged his gun behind him, drawing a trail.
When my mother tells this part, her favorite part, he's a clown. He performs, for her. He cups his hand around his mouth. I see his lips, the chapped corners pulling. "La-roh-na" he called, singing each syllable. "La-roh-na. I have your ba-by."
Mona and Juan stopped shouting. Mona broke from the rest. She rushed to him, calling his name, patting his shoulders with hot, frantic hands. "Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy." She was crying, and strands of hair were caught across her face.
"La-roh-na. I ate your ba-by." He continued, past the circle of firelight. She followed him, grasping his arms and pulling him back. He tugged her along, as long as she'd keep hold. They were almost to the lakeshore when Juan overtook them and wrenched her away. She struggled against her brother (her lover?), howling in throaty Spanish, her words like live things, leaping, raking. Juan took her hair and her wrist by the fistful, and my father continued toward the wailing caves.
He dug the barrel of his shotgun into the frozen grass. Beneath the ever-loudening Mexican ghost, he could still hear Mona's susurrant cries. So much noise. He shouted into the blue fog, shouting it all down.
He had half-expected silence when he reached the caves. The ground was mossy, here, and he slipped as he walked down the sloping ground toward the orifice. This close, he could hear how the echoes built the sound, expanded it.
He fired one shot.
He heard the wind a moment before he felt it; he heard it collect in the chamber before it rushed him. He steadied himself. His eyes closed, he thrust his gun into the shrieking onslaught of air. He racked the pump until the gun rasped, emptied.
There was blood when he looked, but not much. This is what he always says—not much—for my sake, I think. My mother makes no similar concession. At his feet and just inside the cave, brown bats lay burst and twitching. A massacre. To the left of his foot, a bat spun, one-winged, "in a puddle of its innards", my mother interrupts. She shows her crooked tooth, smiling. He put the hot metal mouth to his cheek. The caves were quiet. He lowered his foot and let the thing die.
At the camp, Tom stretched out on his sleeping bag, peeling black tinfoil from a potato. When my father slumped beside him, Tom cut it in half.
"You kill anyone?"
My father shrugged. "We're leaving in the morning, right? So what's it matter?" The skin of the potato scorched his tongue, but when he bit the center was cold and tasted green. "You need to drive anyone home?"
"Ran off scared as hell when you started shooting." Tom swallowed. "Mona chased you again."
"She all right?"
He shrugged. "Juan doesn't like to share."
My father woke before dawn, so the story goes, when Tom touched his shoulder. The fire had burned itself out. A few gray logs slept in the pit, a few cans curled in the ash. The morning was cold, and it stunk.
"They even got my knife."
"What?" My father propped himself on his elbows and asked it again. "What?"
Tom lifted his pillow and pointed to the empty grass. "Even my knife."
My father searched the grass for his gun. No gun. He struggled out of his sleeping bag. The van's back door was already open. The van looked bigger, so much bigger, drained of their possessions. The cooler, the hotplate, the crate of canned food, their duffels were all gone. They had never lost so much, because they'd never had so much, but it was the not the first time or the last that their food and their supplies would entirely disappear.
My father cuffed his brother's shoulder. "And how'd you let them get your knife? It was under your fucking head."
Tom spread his fingers. "Maybe it was the ghost." He punches my father flatknuckled in the leg and still insists, "the ghost." My father shrugs his eyebrows. He peeled off his shirt and his pants, and he piled them under his shoes. "Watch these?" Naked, he crunched across the frosty grass toward the lake.
My father dug matches from his pocket, and he started to urge their last fire here to life.
I imagine what happens after, the ragged, unspoken end of the legend. A secret shimmers above me, in the smoke, while they laugh and pass their cigarette, while my uncle prods until my father stands, bellows "La-ro-nah. I ate your ba-by", while my mother tips the last of her winecooler into our bonfire. My father shakes his head good-naturedly, touches my hair with his heavy hand.
My bedtime is blighted by a creature at the window, tangled curls and gaunt brown face, crouching in my closet, tapping from behind the drywall where she creeps with the small brown mice. I stage my bears like an army at the edges of my quilt and wait. There is rightness in her coming for me. I fall asleep sitting up to her lullaby, and I am surprised each morning when I'm alive. For years, I name her La Llorona. Then I am sixteen, it is three am, and I am limping upstairs, lying down muddy, refusing to cry because my date, the asshole, isn't worth it. And when the creature comes, I recognize her. I am her. And I tell the story again.
Mona said his name. He didn't turn around. He didn't trust the noises in these mountains. She said it again. She stood away from him, hesitating on the path. She was dressed in loose jeans and a long wool sweater. Her hair was pulled back from her face. He could see the bruises, the skin stuffed with blood. One eye would open only a swollen slit. She held a thermos in her hands.
My father brushed the ash from his pants.
She offered him the coffee. He motioned to the ground, and she placed it where he pointed. He'd never seen her in the daylight. The small dark hairs on her face. The fragile ledge of jawbone. He noticed how young she was. "What did he do to you?" How very young. "Can you understand me, Mona? What did he do to you?" My father did not bend to kiss her forehead, to smell her.
Mona scanned his face. She spoke to him in Spanish and then reached for his beard. Impossibly young. I tell myself that he— the man he was then, the man he is not now, furious and stricken and wild— He pulled away.
My father returned to his task. He struck another match and held it under the pyramid of sticks. He heard her crying quietly behind him, but he did not turn. When he was sure she'd left, he retrieved the thermos. The coffee was hot and pale and sweet, and he could not he can not bear it.

IN THE KITCHEN; Barbecue for an Early Summer Day
By MOIRA HODGSON
Published: May 21, 1995
WITH Memorial Day around the corner, it is time to start thinking of casual, easy food, informal barbecues and meals outside. My kind of cooking.
A thick veal chop, marinated in lemon juice and olive oil with herbs, makes a lovely spring dish, served with steamed fava beans and new potatoes cooked on the grill. The potatoes are first steamed and then grilled without the addition of any oil.
Fava beans are among my favorite vegetable, and they are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, where they have been showing up more and more on the menus of fancy restaurants.
They come inside large furry pods and in England, although we took the pods off, we never bothered to skin the beans inside. But some people find these skins bitter and prefer the beans peeled. I choose young, small pods, and whether I peel them or not depends on time and mood (old habits die hard). Fresh fava beans are equally good with tarragon, summer savory, sage or marjoram.
For dessert, you cannot get much simpler -- and better -- than apricots baked in the oven with a vanilla pod and served at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche. I like them with sugar cookies on the side. Grilled Veal Chops With Grilled Potatoes Total time: 1 1/2 hours 4 rib veal chops about 1 1/2 inches thick Juice of 1/2 lemon 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1 1/2 pounds red bliss or Yukon gold potatoes Sprigs of rosemary to garnish.
1. Wipe the veal chops dry with paper towels and place them on a platter. Squeeze lemon juice over the chops. Make a small incision between the flesh and bone of each one and insert a sliver or two of garlic. Sprinkle the remaining garlic over the chops, along with the rosemary leaves and olive oil. Set the chops aside to marinate at room temperature for one hour.
2. Half an hour later, steam the potatoes until almost done. Preheat the grill.
3. Season the chops with salt and pepper. Remove the potatoes from the steamer, season them with salt and pepper and put them on the grill. Grill them, turning occasionally until they are brown on all sides. Keep them warm (you can put them on the side of the grill while your chops are cooking if it is large enough).
4. Grill the chops four to five minutes on each side, or until they are done to taste. Garnish them with rosemary leaves before serving.
Yield: 4 servings. Steamed Fava Beans With Thyme Total time: 1/2 hour 3 pounds fava beans (in their pods) 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon unsalted butter Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
1. Remove the pods from the fava beans. If you like, peel their skins.
2. Put beans in top of a steamer and sprinkle them with thyme. Cook them until they are tender (this depends on their size and whether they are peeled, but it shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes).
3. Put the beans in a warm serving bowl, add the butter, salt and pepper and toss them. Serve immediately.
Yield: 4 servings. Baked Vanilla Apricots Total time: 45 minutes 2 pounds apricots 1 cup dry white wine 1 vanilla bean 3/4 cup sugar.
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Put apricots in shallow baking dish. Add remaining ingredients and bake about 30 minutes, turning apricots occasionally. Cool them and serve at room temperature.
Yield: 4 servings.

Genuine estate evaluation or property valuation is the process of determining the value of the property on the basis of the highest as well as the finest usage of real estate (which primarily converts into establishing the fair market value of the property).

The Residential or commercial property Market Valuation is done making use of numerous techniques and also the property evaluation values the home as various for difference objectives e.g. the realty appraisal may designate 2 various values to the very same home ( Better value as well as uninhabited value) as well as again the same/similar home could be designated various values in a industrial zone and also a property area . However, the worth appointed as a result of property assessment might not be the worth that a real estate capitalist would think about when assessing the building for investment. As a matter of fact, a investor may entirely ignore the value that appears of realty evaluation procedure.
A great genuine estate investor would examine the home on the basis of the advancements taking place in the area. So property evaluation as done by a real estate capitalist would create the value that the investor could obtain out of the building by getting it at a reduced price and offering it at a much higher cost (as in the here and now). In a similar way, investor could do his own property evaluation for the anticipated value of the property in, say 2 years time or in 5 years time. Once more, a investor might conduct his genuine estate assessment based upon what value he/she could produce by investing some quantity of loan in the property i.e. a real estate investor may select getting a dirty/scary type of home (which nobody likes) as well as obtain some minor fixings, painting etc carried out in order to enhance the worth of the property (the value that the actual estate financier would certainly get by offering it in the market). Right here the meaning of genuine estate appraisal modifications completely (and can be really different from the worth that actual estate evaluator would certainly come out with if the actual estate appraiser carried out a genuine estate appraisal workout on the residential or commercial property).
A investor in Prospect NSWwill normally base his financial investment decision on this Sydney Residential Valuation for Related Party Transfer in Prospect NSW property appraisal that he does by himself (or gets done via someone). Can we then term real estate assessment as a actually actual ' genuine estate evaluation'?

Academy Awards Preview — Spotlight
Today I conclude my Academy Award previews with the final Best Picture nominee, "Spotlight."
Starring: Micheal Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams, and Liev Schreiber
Director: Tom McCarthy
Total Nominations: Six
Nominated For: Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Ruffalo), Best Supporting Actress (McAdams), Best Director (McCarthy), Best Original Screenplay (McCarthy and Josh Singer), and Best Film Editing
About: "Spotlight" was my favorite film of 2015, and I think it's got a good shot at winning Best Picture. It's the most wide open Best Picture field I can remember, but "Spotlight" has as good a shot as any. In terms of other awards, I think director and the acting nominations are long shots. While worthy, I don't see any of those nominated coming home with the award. If "Spotlight" is grabbing Best Picture, I think it will get the editing award, too. The one award I'm sure it takes is the Original Screenplay award. It was the most compelling story and should grab the award. I also hope it takes the top prize, but we'll find out tonight.
Verdict: Four stars out of four.
Where to See It: "Spotlight" is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Foods you think are healthy but aren't
Elissa Goodman is a LA-based holistic nutritionist and cleanse expert. She is famous for her wildly popular 5-Day "S.O.U.P. Cleanse" available in LA.
She shared with us tips on foods we may think are healthy, but are not.
- GRANOLA: Nature Valley Granola Peanut Butter 'n Dark Chocolate 1 cup = 30 grams/ 7.5 teaspoons
- BAR: Cliff Pumpkin Pie Bar 25 grams/ 6.25 teaspoons
- YOGURT: Stony field Vanilla Yogurt 1 cup = 29 grams/ 7.25 teaspoons
- BOTTLED SMOOTHIE: Naked Juice Green Machine Smoothie (no sugar added) 1 serving = 53 grams/ 13.25 teaspoons
- SALAD DRESSING: Brianna's Blush Wine Vinaigrette 3 tablespoons = 21 grams/ 5.25 spoons
Evidence now shows that sugar causes cravings and reward, similar to that of addictive drugs; reporting that sugar is more addictive than cocaine.
It's believed that this rush of pleasure and reward is based on receptors that evolved in our ancestors. Our ancestor's diets were low in sugar, so a little bit went a long way. Biologically, our brains have not yet evolved to the overwhelming consumption we are exposed to today.
Refined sugars are everywhere. It is so accessible that it makes it challenging to recognize the severity of its effects. Sugar is added to tomato sauces, yogurt, salad dressing, canned fruit, ketchup, and thousands of other processed products and like any addiction, significant changes need to occur to break it.
To start, being more aware of it, will allow you to beat your sugar addiction.
- Start by eliminating processed and unhealthy high-carbohydrates, and stop eating sugar! This habit alone (force yourself to stick with it until your breakthrough your cravings) can reduce sugar cravings. The less you eat, the less you're you crave it. Add in whole, nutrient dense foods, and in a short time you will notice cravings diminish - my cleansers notice that cravings begin to diminish on days 4 & 5 of their cleanse week.
- Take a probiotic. There are bacterial strains which feed on the sugar in our bodies, causing an imbalance in the gut. When you reduce this bacteria, you will help reduce sugar cravings and your body's dependence on sugar.
- Include an L-glutamine supplement. Sugar cravings can be powerful, however, they can be reduced. L-glutamine is an amino acid that supports numerous functions, especially within the gut. When blood sugar levels drop, this amino acid can easily be converted into glucose. This helps to curve sugar cravings without exposing your body to harmful sugar.
- Drink a green juice or smoothie without sugar every morning. Swap your morning donut or white toast for a green smoothie. When you have a green smoothie each morning, you obtain antioxidants, phytonutrients, and live enzymes. The more greens you incorporate into your diet, the less you'll crave sugar and the more you'll crave the nutrients your body truly requires. By having a smoothie or juice each morning, you will slowly change poor habits.
- Eat sour foods. When you crave sugar, eat foods that are sour and bitter. This helps to counteract sweet cravings. When making your green smoothies, include bitter ingredients like endive and kale. Lemon-infused water is also recommended daily.
- Eat fermented food. I cannot get enough of fermented foods. Not only are they sour, helping to curve cravings, but they also offer your body additional probiotic support. Foods like kefir, tempeh, sauerkraut, and kimchee, all help counteract the bacteria that thrives on sugar and contributes to sugar addictions.
- Use stevia. This low-carb, all-natural sweetener can be used as a sugar substitute. It provides sweetness, without spiking your blood sugar. If you feel like something sweet, have a warm glass of almond milk with a pinch of cinnamon and stevia.
- Improve your sleep. A study found that daytime sleepiness may affect your control over high-calorie foods. If you do not get enough sleep, you will be more prone to reach for foods that support your sugar addiction. Lack of sleep is also believed to strengthen the brain's reward center, making it much more challenging to stay away from sweets.
- Reduce stress. When we feel overwhelmed or stressed, we often comfort ourselves with foods that tend to be high in sugar. These foods actually worsen levels of stress and anxiety. A rapid boost of energy follows, affecting your blood sugar and hormone levels. Crush cravings by managing stress levels. Practice yoga, deep breathing, meditation, or whatever helps to personally calm and relax your mind.
- Increase protein. The initial rush of sugar is quickly followed by a crash, resulting in low energy levels and poor mood. This cycle of highs and lows puts your health at risk. Protein-rich foods, such as beans, nuts, eggs, quinoa, and pastured meat provide a more balanced and steady source of energy. You will feel more satisfied, reducing the effects of brain chemicals that cause you to seek out food, even when you're not hungry.

Earl Nightingale
You cannot get sick enough to help sick people get better. You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive. It is only in your thriving that you have anything to offer anyone. If you're wanting to be of an advantage to others, be as tapped in, turned in, turned on as you can possibly be.

Yes, indeed. Insurance really doesn't matter.
Right. You know, most doctors disagree with you. Insurance makes a difference.
Or course, Bill Clinton doesn't have to worry much about health insurance or health care.
Most people aren't that lucky.
By the way, have you seen the news about Anthem insurance in California? You know, the 12 to 40% increase in premiums? Got anything to say about that?

The following was all I had written for my anorexia experience book I'd been planning on writing. I go back and forth between deciding whether or not I'll actually write it. I wrote this almost a year ago. December 21, 2012. I am in no position to continue writing this right now. I try to write this blog to be positive, but I want it to be real. I'm not happy all the time. I've spent the bulk of this month in intense depression. Continuing with this book now is probably not a good idea. But I read it now and just think, "this is so accurate." This is how I think. Maybe one day I'll write more of this. But not now. For now enjoy what I have done:
The Mirror
Some cold girl stares at me. I don't know who she is. Her skin is gross. I can see every flaw on it. Every freckle and every pore seem to be magnified. How can she live with herself? There probably isn't an amount of foundation in the world that would fix that mess. Her eyes are a gross shade of brown. Some people have alluring chocolate or hazelnut colored eyes. Black is even acceptable, but this girl's eyes are some deep shade of brown people usually grimace at. Her nose is weird. Noses in general are weird, but hers exceeds the usual amount of weirdness. One side is smooth and the other seems jagged, like the cartilage was all pushed up on that one side against something hard to make a crease. Her lips are no interesting shade of pink. They're different enough to be noticeable with cracks even when doused in lip gloss. They're some failed mixture of pink and plum. Her face is too round. It lacks any kind of cute sharpness to them. You can see where it tries to have definition but the fat of her cheeks prevents her cheek bones from being visible. Her jaw bone is also round. It's too round. Her chin is even too round. It looks as if someone just rolled a ball of clay and squished it against her face. The few freckles on her cheeks even are ugly. Instead of a smattering of freckles dusted lightly across the bridge of her unfortunate nose they are sporadically placed around her lips, nose, and cheeks, and very dark. Her mother told her the one by her lip is called a "beauty mark" when it emerged when she was three years old. She told her that Marilyn Monroe had one. It was enough to console her until the next one appeared. It was either one or a cute cluster. There was no in-between, which was what she had and it made her ugly.
That was just her face. Her hair was her one redeeming feature. It was a chocolate brown with natural red highlights only visible in the sun and no matter what she did it never tangled and always fell perfectly in a frame around her face. She was lucky it was so perfect. She had to grow it out long so it could make her stupid fat face seem thinner. Her body was another thing. While she had been blessed with 36C breasts her hips were only 34inches around and her waist would fluctuate between 24 and 26 inches but even at 24 she still looked fat. Her legs were large around with tiny baby feet at the end of them. Her arms weren't fat, but they weren't slender, and her hands were the size of a child's. Her body looked like it belonged on someone much larger than what the measuring tape said.

Lookingforsex.co.uk was just what I needed when I needed it! I wanted to find chicks that had the same frame of mind as me - sex but without the awkward strings attached. Being upfront sure makes things easier, and with the tools on the site, I was meeting women in my local area, really fit women too, and bedding them! If you're looking for hook-ups, you've come to the right place!"
I wanted to find someone that wanted just sex but being pretty shy, I didn't really know how to approach women in pubs and clubs to ask them for just that. I liked lookingforsex.co.uk because it was easy - just like the women on here too! ;) It was three hours from signing up to screwing a hot blonde after a couple of bottles of wine. If you want results, lookingforsex.co.uk is perfect.
To put it rather bluntly, if you're looking to fuck a fine woman tonight, you'll find her here. It's just like ordering a pizza - if you want a busty brunette or a bitching blonde that lives within half an hour of you, you enter the details and pick your favourite. I don't think I've had ever had a wasted journey to the site! Cheers guys!
If you're finding it hard to find fit women to bang, you need to check out LFS. Two minutes to sign up, twenty minutes searching, two hours of hardcore sex. That was my experience anyway… I bet yours will be the same!
Don't bother with crap hookup sites, looking for sex does just what it says on the tin. Signup, have a look around, shag a fittie. That's all you need to know! Plus it's free to register!
I have no doubt that lookingforsex.co.uk is the best casual sex website out there. I'm signed up to a few and I always have the best luck with this one. It's not long before I'm arranging to meet with some girl, and only one has ever said no when they met me face to face. I reckon that's a pretty good start!
No fake women, a good ratio of good looking to ugly women, and the girls actually message you back! Just three things I really like about lookingforsex.co.uk! Love it!
With so many sex websites out there, you're gonna want to use the one that gives you results and I think this one is one of the best. Within an hour, I was sending messages to four different girls, and I met two of them the same week. Naughty chat turns into sex real quick - isn't that what you want?
My girlfriend cheated on me and I wanted revenge. lookingforsex.co.uk helped me to do that - I signed up for free, messaged a chick for a couple of hours and we met up for drinks and a bang that night. I'd say that was successful, wouldn't you?
There's a lot of crappy casual sex websites and most of them have fake women that never message back, or just dog-rough girls that you wouldn't touch with a barge pole. After signing up to this one, I'll never use another one again. Great women, great chat, great sex. Winner!
Are you bored of your sex life? Lack of experience getting you down? Had enough of girls that either don't know what they're doing in the bedroom, or don't put out enough for you to find out how good they really are?

Do you release how fucking BLESSED you are right now?
Everything you desire is right there waiting for you, within reach and possible, all you have to do is ASK for it and then ACT for it, but better even than that – or worse, depending on your perspective and when you realise how bloody minded you've been! – all you have to do is LOOK for it!
You spend all this time asking and wishing and hoping and even hustling, desperately hoping to prove yourself good enough, successful enough, SOMETHING enough to be able to RECEIVE enough and basically 'earn' success or abundance, when the whole time God, the Universe, the TRUTH, is sitting there shaking its collective head and frowning with bemusement at you and wondering when the FUCK you're going to get it!
Don't you see?
Don't you know?
Didn't they TELL you?
What, you think that you have to actually CREATE the money you want so badly?
You think that the opportunities that are yours don't exist yet and somehow they'll just be conjured up from thin air when you've checked enough boxes?
You think that everything, everything, EVERYTHING you want and desire and dream of, that hell yeah relationship, home, business, body, LIFE, doesn't already EXIST, that it's sitting in the wings somewhere, just an idea, a dream, a fantasy?
It doesn't work that way!
How in the HELL do you think it is in the first place that you CAN dream of it, obsess over it, want it so badly and KNOW it should be yours?
It's because it already exists.
It came to you to TELL you that it's yours!
And you, instead of sitting up, straightening up, opening up and saying yes please and thank you, what do you do instead?
You shy away.
You refuse, a lot of the time, to even take ownership clearly of what 'it' is; imagining to yourself that it's somehow SAFER to not state it loud and proud, that if you don't say it you also won't have to admit you can't have it!
Well – you can have it! You can have it ALL! Anything and everything you dream of, but you have to be willing to do what it takes to receive it. RECEIVE being the operative word gorgeous!
And here is how:
1) Take Ownership, Clearly
Newsflash: you will never achieve the dreams you can't CLEARLY define and express. If it's an idea, something vague, something hidden in the recesses of your mind, but you're too scared to fully state it then you certainly don't DESERVE to get it, and also – how in the heck CAN you get it? Want vague results, constant frustration, to feel like life is pushing and pulling you and YOU don't get to choose?
Keep refusing to take ownership of your dreams.
2) Give Yourself Permission
You can twist it any which way you like, go back and forth a million times over in your mind about whether you're ALLOWED and whether it's OKAY and what about this and what about that and maybe you don't deserve it, maybe you can't, maybe it's gonna MEAN something BAD, or cause you to have to GIVE up something, good, but in the end?
It's really VERY fucking simple –
Taking ownership of what 'it' is, and being able to clearly state it is OH so much just the very beginning. If you don't give yourself permission – YES IN SPITE OF ALL THE REASONS NOT TO – then you'll never get it.
So – get the fuck over yourself! You want to continue playing a sad old poor little me tune and hang on to all the reasons why you can't, not yet, no way, and wahhhhh! Woe is MEEEEE! Or you wanna get your shit together and say fuck THAT shit, I'm just gonna focus on what I want and I am inherently worthy because I was BORN and therefore I CAN and if I dream it then there is a REASON for that and so –
Fuck it!
YES PLEASE I WILL, and THANK YOU!
It REALLY is that simple baby! Just let yourself!
3) Release release RELEASE, in order to move forward and blow shit UP.
This is probably even harder than permission! We can get our heads around the actually quite nice idea that we ARE allowed and that we can simply CHOOSE to give ourselves permission, it's really a huge relief! And honestly – who wouldn't want to believe that you're simply allowed!
But from there?
Well –
You CAN'T very well expect to receive the NEW –
While you keep holding on to the old!
And SORRY, but no you can't WAIT till you get the new in order to then feel safe to release the old!
And this, this is where so many people completely SCREW UP FOR LIFE THEIR ABILITY TO RECEIVE AND BASICALLY JUST KILL THEIR DREAMS.
They WANT it.
They finally take the fucking time to CLAIM and STATE it.
They release fear and decide to just GIVE THEMSELVES PERMISSION, to ALLOW it.
But when it comes time to walk into the light?
Can't do.
Too scared.
What if!
Can i just say something to you right now, dreamer to dreamer, heart to heart and coming from a place of having COMPLETELY SCREWED UP MY DREAMS along the way several times, having STOPPED myself from receiving, and finally just getting so damn SICK of myself that I got over myself and on with it and allowed myself to learn what I'm here now TEACHING you?
I can?
Thank you!
Okay, here goes:
Walk into the light.
Walk into the light.
WALK NO RUN into the LIGHT.
It's ALL there waiting for you, you really CAN have it all, everything you dream of and SO much more can be yours, but you HAVE to give yourself permission, you MUST be brave enough to 'fess up to what you want, you DO also need to state and claim it daily and over and over again until it's yours AND do the fucking work as well, duh, and if you wanna KEEP it and keep elevating you're also going to need to then KEEP claiming and acting on it FOREVER …
… so you may as well just focus on BEING that person instead of looking at it as a short-term thing you have to DO …!
But then?
Well then?
Well if it's not working and you don't know why and you're journaling and you're asking and you're yes PLEASING, take a look –
A tiny look –
A QUICK look –
An HONEST look –
A NOW look –
At whaty the hell it is you're carrying around there in your hand oh so tightly!
Oh, what's that now? EVERYTHING YOU KNOW YOU NEED to let go of in order to make space for what you WANT?
Good plan!!!
If you're going to be able to open up your hands and receive –
Everything you KNOW you were born for –
And just let it on IN, on repeat –
You are going to HAVE to –
You said you were done with.
You said wasn't HELL yes.
You KNOW is not serving you.
So breathe in baby.
And then blow it ALL the way out.
And EXHALE.
And EXHALE.
And –
Fucking LEAP.
And when you do? You're gonna find what deep down you already KNOW which is that the light?
Was there all along.
So what are you waiting for, and who do you want to BE now?
Come join me.
Walk into the light.
Run into the light.
FLY into the LIGHT.
Remember …!
Life is NOW. Press Play!
PS Last 6 hours gorgeous! Wanna walk into the LIGHT with me??

Bits & Atoms
As many of you have seen in the press today, Uber recently closed a financing round. We want to make sure the facts are clear and confirmed. Our vision is to build a technology company that changes transportation and logistics in urban centers around the world, and this financing gives us the fuel to make that a reality. This round is $258 million with proceeds to be used to expand into new markets, accelerate rider and driver acquisition, and fight off protectionist, anti-competitive efforts.
The financing was led by Google Ventures with TPG Capital participating. David Drummond, Google's SVP of Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer will be joining Uber's board. David Bonderman, founding partner of TPG, will also be joining the board. We're also looking forward to working with David Krane from Google Ventures and David Trujillo from TPG, each of whom will help deliver strategic value as partners in this investment.
We couldn't be more excited to embark on the next phase of our journey with our new partners, both truly great in their respective industries. I like to talk about this combination of investors as "Bits and Atoms."
On one end we have Google, a technology powerhouse, with billions of users on an incredibly complementary product suite ranging from Google Maps to Android to self-driving vehicles. We look to Google and Google Ventures for the strategic connectivity to their product initiatives alongside the expertise that comes with evangelizing new technology with governments and regulatory bodies around the world. David Drummond is our director from Google that will help us navigate the company and provide the strategic advice as our regulatory efforts follow Uber's launches across Europe and Asia.
With TPG, we have partnered up with one of the most prolific private equity firms in the world. Why does that matter? How are they different than any of the traditional venture capital firms? It's really simple: TPG owns and operates companies. The Uber deal is obviously very different, but their deep rolodex of operations executives and their regulatory know-how in highly regulated, "atoms"-based industries in the farthest corners of the globe is where TPG shines. David Bonderman's vision and relationships will be invaluable to Uber as we become a global brand.
So that's the news. I hope this clarifies what Uber is looking to do with this new funding, and sheds some light on the groundbreaking investment partnership we've put together for Uber's next phase of growth.
Uber On,

July Survivor Spotlight: Fannie Jackson
Mrs. Fannie Appling Jackson is a Macon native, a Komen Central Georgia volunteer, and an inspirational leader to many individuals in our community. Read more on her breast cancer journey, and why she is featured in our Survivor Spotlight for the month of July!
Q: Tell me a little about yourself:
Mrs. Fannie: I went through the school system in Macon, and graduated from Fort Valley State College in 1971 with a degree in Business Administration. I worked my way up through different departments over a course of 38 years! I am a dedicated member of my church, Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, and I am on the church's finance and building committees. I also work with the local food bank. I have been married to my husband Larry Jackson for 45 years and have two beautiful children, Wanzina N. Jackson and Larry D. Jackson. I am now retired and focus my efforts towards a variety of volunteering opportunities.
Q: Tell us about your breast cancer journey:
Mrs. Fannie: In 2008 I went to have a mammogram on the 1st of the year in 2009. The doctors told me they found a small lump, and my biopsy results determined that it was in fact cancerous. I chose to have a Lumpectomy, which was then followed with thirty radiation treatments and I continued to work all thirty of those treatment days. Although looking back now I wish I had a Mastectomy to help ease my nerves, because I recently had a lesion on my breast that made me very worried.
Q: What do you want people to know?
Mrs. Fannie: My message to people would be to take it one day at a time; I know God will give me everything I need. That's the way I live my life. If something doesn't happen, I know it wasn't meant to be.
Q: How has Komen affected your life?
Mrs. Fannie: Komen gives me an opportunity to let people know there is hope; a cancer diagnosis doesn't always mean a death sentence. Komen taught me not to have a pity party and that you are not alone. I've been a Komen Volunteer since 2013 and I really enjoy working health fairs because I have the opportunity to educate others on the importance of mammograms and general breast cancer facts. Cancer has had a massive impact on my family. Throughout my lifetime my mother as well as her 4 sisters all had some form of cancer. My sister, Nettie Smith, had a mammogram this year and they found a tumor in her breast; she had a mastectomy. It is hard to talk about my journey, but Sarah (Fannie's friend and fellow Komen Volunteer) encourages me to talk to the public. It tends to get a little easier each time I do it.
Q: Who is your hero?
Mrs. Fannie: This is a hard one but I would have to say my hero is Susan Foster Ray. She was a volunteer at Komen Central Georgia who I encountered when I was at my weakest. I was going through treatment, my husband had renal failure, and my mom had Alzheimer's and she always seemed to give me courage. She was an inspiration to many. Every time her breast cancer was treated, it always seemed to reappear in another place. But you would never know it by the way she carried herself. You never met her on a day that she was down; she had so much endurance, and taught me that pity parties aren't necessary. She used to say, "You can cry in the shower and once you get out, you are done with those tears." You have to have the will to fight in order to make it. I know I can beat cancer as long as I have the Lord on my side.
Q: What inspires you?
Mrs. Fannie: I like to help people! If there is something to be done and I can help you, I love that.

France / The U.S.A.
Pat'd 5-19-25
Djer Kiss (pronounced as "Dear Kiss") was one of the most successful and famous product line by Kerkoff, a French parfumerie established in the early 1900s. Their products were extensively marketed in the US by The Alfred H Smith Company (an importer of toilet articles, est. 1890s), who was mainly responsible for the packaging. The early design of the compact of Djer Kiss was nothing interesting with the logo type on top of a small brass case.
In 1925, there was a major shift in the design and the highly collectable "Kissing Fairies" compact was released. The case was made to hold both rouge and powder, and on top there's a shallow relief illustrating a couple of fairies kissing each other. The compact was sliver plated. The new design of the case was created by modifying the already patented one (in 1923) by a Polish immigrant named Simon Jaroslawski (a perfumer whose brand name was 'Fioret'), while the "Kissing Fairies" top came from the image by the Hungarian artist Willy Pogany (1882-1955).
See detailed story of Djer Kiss at "The History of Djer-Kiss – A fairy tale Madison Avenue would be proud of",

Fix It Jesus,Why Millennials Are Ditching Religion For Witchcraft And Astrology!??!??!
The Black Church has historically been a source of hope and strength for the African American community.
"Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2).My thoughts: Funeral services have a natural atmosphere which gets people's minds on the topic at hand.The Bible says that there is value in suffering and sorrow and we learn more from difficult times than happy times. If we view death with the eyes of faith, we see that death is the best of all possible events. For the saved person the day we depart from this earth is better than the day we arrived on this earth.
He went from the church to the strip club.Ms. Ann I guess that's called keeping it real. We're not supposed to judge. God is the judge and right now he's being judged by God on his earthly deeds. I see a lot of comments all over the internet that are negative. One thing I'm wondering is are people being taught proper behavior? Are people being raised properly in the church or in the home to know ....... Make sure you're living right out here because you don't know the day or the hour when you might leave this earth. I like your post.ReplyDelete
Haha I guess that's one way of keeping it real.Delete
I'm just scrolling through my newsfeed and see this. I am a fan, but I didn't want my last memory of him to be of him in his casket. That is so disrespectful to his kids and family. They allowed his viewing to be public for his fans and this is how they pay respect? Somebody got paid for doing this and it is disgusting. Prayers for his family and his true friends. May he rest with God. ✝ReplyDelete
In HELL is were he will lifted his eyes!ReplyDelete
Its not funny ... But why in the world would you take a body to a strip club? To celebrate his death??? This is so cold its beyond disrespectful... May he Rest N Peace... I guess it was so cold outside the person letting people in didn't wanna b bothered by the cellphone and problems with folks....ReplyDelete
I so remember there used to be a time where individuals were fearful of playing with God. I ventured out to TMZ and there was a video of folks "IN THE STRIP CLUB WITH THE STIPPERS", saying "God is Good." Holding up lights or whatever.... I have no words......ReplyDelete
