Queen of the West
Our favorite treat when we were kids was the Saturday matinee,
In times that seemed so innocent, those days of yesterday,
Where our comic book heroes would come to life on that silver screen.
There was Hopalong, Randolph Scott, the Lone Ranger, Roy, and Gene.
Being the oldest, Joyce and I helped Dad with all the chores.
Milkin' cows, breakin' colts, stackin' hay 'til our arms were sore.
We did all the jobs that our ranchin' neighbors gave to their boys
And rarely had time for tea parties, dolls, or other girlish toys.
We knew our lives were different from the rest of the girls at school,
'Cause, in town, they all wore dresses while we broke their cardinal rules
By wearing jeans, long-sleeved shirts, and high heeled, cowboy boots.
All their teasin' and finger pointing just made us more resolute.
'Cause, you see, we had our hero, too, up on that movie screen.
In all those Saturday serials, she was the only Queen.
In fringed skirt and rhinestone shirt, on Buttermilk she'd ride,
To do right by all with Roy Rogers by her side.
She was the voice of wisdom and showed us girls we had a right
To fight wrong and injustice, to be fair, good, and forthright,
To find within our selves the courage to always do our best.
She became our hero, Dale Evans, the Queen of the West.
The world seemed a little colder, today, when I heard the news,
That my hero, Dale, had headed for that heavenly rendezvous.
I can hear Buttermilk's nicker as she lopes up to Dale's side,
And see Trigger prancing up in welcome with Roy's smile a mile wide.
Upon a ridge rears Silver, and the Lone Ranger waves his hat "hello."
While Champion slides to a perfect stop as Gene Autry hollers, "Whoa."
Bullet's barkin' up a storm, while he weaves among the horses' feet.
Seems like all of the legends have gathered here to honor and to greet.
Hollywood's much dimmer now, as in a blaze of glory Dale will ride
Into the fading sunset, with those cowboy heros at her side.
You know His campfire's waiting, beyond the rise and 'round the bend
Happy Trails to you, Dale, until we meet again.

Thank Heavens for Dale Evans
When Frances Octavia Smith was a little girl growing up in west Texas, she used to say she wanted to have six kids and marry Tim Mix. In fact, she outdid herself: she grew up to have nine kids and married Roy Rogers! It was a thrill for me to perform at a festival with Dale Evans in the crowd; she was a radiant woman with a smile you could pour on a waffle and when she was talking to you, she was talking to YOU and no other. There's a Texas expression that says, "You are one to ride the river with." It's a way of saying someone is a buddy, a comrade, a good hand, a companion -- someone who rides with you through thick and thin. Roy and Dale were that for all of us who grew up in the 50s and 60s.
Her Grandpa used to say "that girl will rope the moon some day.
Doesn't matter if the trail is smooth or hard."
She was born with Texas grit, long on spunk and short on quit.
She rode through life a rough and ready pard.
No dusty trails for her, what made her young heart stir
Were the movies at the Bijou Matinee.
She'd take her lumps and licks, she'd grow up and wed Tom Mix!
Dreaming big was just her Texas schoolgirl way.
It was Hollywood, all right, was a cowboy beaming bright,
With fringes and a palomino horse.
She was spunky, she was shy. She stole the heart of Leonard Sly.
For 52 good years they stayed the course.
Frances Octavia Smith was one to ride the river with,
Her cowboy hat became a western crown.
She wrote the cowgirl code, she never shirked a load.
No matter what, she never let me down.
She taught me right from wrong; to sing an honest song.
A cowgirl saddles up and takes a stand.
There'll be bumps and bruises but life's not about excuses
And when you ride, be riding for your Maker's brand.
She taught me life is more than fame and fortune at your door.
Not every girl can gallop off with Roy.
When life tears at your hide, just suck it up and ride
Choose a trail that stormy weather can't destroy.
She did it all with style, with a song and with a smile.
A cowgirl, a friend, a Texas rose.
No seamy tabloid stunts -- and just think -- she never once
Had to bump or grind or flash or pierce her nose!
Trends many come and go but life's not a fashion show.
So do it right, no matter what or when.
Here's to you, Miss Dale. I'm still following your trail.
Happy trails to you until we meet again.
Giddyup Buttermilk, Let's ride.

She Was Always The Music
Dale Evans was always the music
Even when Roy sang just with
"The Boys"
You could always hear her in there somehow
All her hopes, her fears, her joys
In every song that was ever sung
In every lingering melody
Dale Evans carried the heart and soul of the west
She will always be the music that you can see
You can see her in the rippling water
As it flows down a quiet stream
When the ocean waves pound the beach and roar
You can see her in the crackle of a smokey campfire
In the quiet, gently creaking of the bunkhouses' wooden floor
You can see her in the sparkle
of a tiny grain of sand
In the way a new leaf hugs tight to a tree
In the sparkle of that music
(complex, sweet and amazing)
she saw, the wonder of you and me
Dale taught us that life is a song
And it sings to all of us
Are you listening?
She knew that we don't get to choose every note or to strum every chord
We never know just how many verses
But in the end, it doesn't really matter
For the song is its own reward
The music in the movement of a powerful horse
When you hold a snowflake as it dies
In loving and being loved without fear or reservation
To put God and grace and goodness in our lives
The simple pleasure of the sun on your face
The wisdom to know that our lives are not planned
That all the choices we make are our own
We must choose
To be silent, too run, or stand
When you go to the high places
or small quiet spaces
Dale's song will reach you where you belong
She knew that we may not have written
the words or the tune
But that we are all
Very much part of the song.
Go find your rhythm
Learn the flats and the sharps
Sing it!
Teach it to others
Dale's song and our song is the symphony that never ends
For even when our verse is finished
She knew that the music will go on
Through all those that we call,

Childhood's End
Our innocence is gone
Our childhood dreams are dust
The cowboys that graced the silver screen
Will no longer ride with us.
Hoppy, Gene and Roy are gone
And now, Miss Dale is, too
The Lone Ranger left, some years back
Now, our heroes are so few.
Guess theres Arnold also Bruce
Theres Norris and theres Sly,
But those heroes seem to kill and maim
And never bat an eye.
My heroes all wore white hats
Only drew their guns to scare
They saved the damsel in distress
Then bowed their heads in prayer
Silver, Trigger, Buttermilk and Champ
No longer ride the range
Like they did with me and my horse Hap,
My God, this world is strange.
Yesterday my cowboy heroes
All wore shiny stars!
Now bad guys seem to out-number the good
And youre apt to get shot in your cars.
Guess Ill go to the movies
And watch the good guys ride
Across the range and through the draw
Ill be gallopin by their side
For I never want to let go of
The things that I know best
One of which is, they just dont make em
Like they did in the Golden West

Short a Few
We're short a few cowboys and cowgirls
they've been off the screen growing old
living in places like Victorville,
or Thousand Oaks, so I'm told
we hear of them every so often
being awarded boots of gold
stars not quite so active
cause the fans haven't been polled
mostly the studios think they're passé
but our memories never grow cold
of the voice or the hat or the theme
or where the toy with their name was sold
cowboys in movies still ride some today
cause they can't seem to break the mold
a fresh crop of westerns is needed
mixing new hands with some of the old
we're short a few cowboys and cowgirls
but don't let your saddle be sold
salute both the past and the present
cause the West just won't ever fold.

The Last of the Western Heroes
The feller on the radio said that Roy had gone away,
I thought that really can't be so, for I saw him just today.
High on a ridge, to the north of town, he was riding, tall and strong,
the way I'd always seen him ride, whenever I would tag along.
I saddled up my trusty paint, I'd not ridden for many a year
caught up to him up on the ridge, he motioned to come near.
We rode together, side by side, as we had in years gone by,
until we reached a fork on the trail, I knew he'd say "good bye."
He turned to me and gently said, "This is as far as you can go."
He thanked me for remembering, and for the trails that we once rode.
With a youthful grip he shook my hand, said "From here I ride alone."
He told me that my trail went straight, turned and then he was gone.
The feller on the radio said that Dale had gone away,
I thought that really can't be so, for I saw her just today.
High on a ridge, to the north of town, she was riding, tall and strong,
the way I'd always seen her ride, whenever I would tag along.
I saddled up my trusty paint, I'd not ridden for many a year
caught up to her up on the ridge, she motioned to come near.
We rode together, side by side, as we had in years gone by,
until we reached a fork on the trail, I knew she'd say "good bye."
She turned to me and gently said, "This is as far as you can go."
She thanked me for remembering, and for the trails that we once rode.
With a gentle touch she took my hand, said "From here I ride alone."
And in the flash of brilliant light, these sights before me shone.
I saw Roy and Dale, together again, around a campfire bright,
there was the Duke and Randolph Scott, oh what a wonderful sight.
I saw Hoppy and I saw Gene, the Lone Ranger and Tonto, too,
the heroes of my yesterdays, and sadly then I knew.
The last western hero was she, no other this way would ride,
the trail she took started to fade, and for a moment I just cried.
Til in my heart I heard her voice, sing that wonderful refrain,
Happy Trails to You, Happy Trails to You, til we meet again.
The feller on the radio said that Roy and Dale had gone away,
I thought that really can't be so, for I saw them just today.
High on a ridge, to the north of town, they were riding, tall and strong,
Where they taught me that my trail went straight,
where they turned and then were gone.

About Puddin'
We were very disappointed that Puddin' could not be appraised for 2016 due to missing tattoos, especially when the appraiser said it was a shame because Puddin' was the one she thought looked the best from her impression of her walking out.
Puddin' has a wonderful mammary system, fantastic body depth, and good maternal instincts. Her first daughter is doing well in the show ring and proving to have phenomenal potential.

A homeless man finds a dropped wallet and ended up giving it back to its owner. The man did not only receive a thank you but a reward as well.
Waqas Shah created a social experiment around New York's Union Square where a number of homeless people often reside.
Shah is seen on camera dropping a wallet containing $2,000 in cash right in front of a homeless man. The man rushes after Shah to give it back to him.
'Woah, buddy!' he calls. 'You dropped your wallet!' he says. 'You dropped it right over there,' pointing to a spot on the sidewalk.
After being rewarded for his honest, Jay is secretly filmed buying food for others. He ends up buying food parcels for other homeless people in the area.
His action surprised everyone including Shah, as Jay is seen to head to a nearby food cart to buy three meals, which he then distributes to other homeless people in the area.
Jay is seen feeding others before feeding himself.
Shah tracks down Jay one final time for a quiz on his incredible acts of generosity and in which Jay responds, 'Giving back is the thing to do. The more you give the more you get,' he says.
Shah ended up giving him another load of cash to thank him for his acts of charity for others in the face of such adversity.

It is great to see lots of interest from the community on the recently erected Ballston Quarter pedestrian bridge completed by Williams Steel Erection Co., Inc. The Williams Steel team is honored to be able to use our expertise to enhance our community and the whole mid-Atlantic region. This post contains some highlights of the operation from around the internet.Read More
Another Bridge at Loudoun Gateway
Williams Steel Erection Co., Inc. and Williams Construction Services have done it again with the erection of a pedestrian bridge connecting the new Loudoun Gateway Station on the second phase of the Washington Metro's Silver Line to a new parking garage being built by Loudoun County to service the station.
This 175 ft long, 100 ton bridge was assembled on the ground in two pieces and set in place using Williams Construction Services 300 Ton capacity truck crane.
To successfully complete this project, Williams Steel drew on their extensive experience building pedestrian bridges on 5 of the stations that make up the second phase of the Silver Line for which they won a 2019 Washington Building Congress Craftsmanship Award. The Loudoun Gateway Station can be seen in the background of the photo above.
The tight placement and size of this bridge provided unique conditions which Williams Steel overcame by building the bridge in two sections utilizing a custom engineered shoring solution to support the bridge during final placement. It is this type of carefully planned operation that Williams Steel Erection and Williams Construction Services specialize in.
Check out more pictures of this operation below.
Connecting Arlington
The Ballston Quarter pedestrian bridge crossing Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, Virginia has been a community landmark for many years. When the owner decided to replace the bridge they wanted to create an iconic structure that would set it apart and had a daring architectural design prepared. Then they had to build it.
This is where Williams Steel Erection Co., Inc. comes in. The complex shape, large size, and location over a busy street in downtown Arlington are just some of the challenges that had to be overcome to build the structure. To make it happen, Williams Steel used innovative "accelerated bridge construction" methods that it has become known for.
First, the 145 ft long, 100 ton bridge was completely assembled about a quarter of a mile from the final location in Mosaic Park. The bridge was fabricated by Crystal Steel Fabricators in Memphis, Tennessee and shipped to Virginia in large, truck-sized pieces.
Next, the bridge was loaded onto, Williams Steel's Goldhofer heavy haul trailer pulled by our Oshkosh M1040 prime mover and moved from the park to the final location. This operation involved significant coordination to close streets, move traffic lights and signs, and keep the public safe.
Finally, the bridge was hoisted into place using a 600 Ton capacity crane and set down on the piers.
Building the bridge structure using this method saved weeks to months of road closures on Wilson Boulevard and eliminated many of the safety risks associated with a partially completed structure being built over a road. When done properly by experienced professionals, this type of operation is much safer and simpler than traditional methods of construction over roadways.
The team at Williams Steel Erection Co., Inc. provides the resources and experience to complete this and other projects of similar complexity and standing. We are honored to be able to use these abilities to provide services that enhance our community and communities throughout the mid-Atlantic region.
Pedestrian Bridge Erection for Silver Line Extension
Williams Steel Erection Co., Inc. is assembling and erecting 32 pedestrian bridges for Phase 2 of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Silver Line Extension project. The bridges will connect the 5 at-grade stations in the median of the Dulles Toll Road and Dulles Greenway to the wayside parking areas. Below are pictures from August 21st and 23rd setting 2 spans at the new Herndon Station. Check back soon for more updates on this project.
Dulles Metrorail – Phase 2 Progress
Williams Steel Erection Co., Inc. is performing the structural steel erection on Phase 2 of the Dulles Metrorail (Silver Line) project. Steel Erection started this summer and the first station is nearing completion.
Work has also started on the assembly of the pedestrian bridges that will carry passengers from the wayside areas to the stations. The bridges will be assembled on the ground in sections that weigh up to 200,000 lbs, then hauled to their final location using our heavy haul rig and set in final position with one of Williams Construction Services' fleet of cranes with up to 300-Ton capacity. Check back for future updates as the project goes forward.

From idea to finished garment
There's a long way to Tipperary – and from thought to final product. Here, you can see the process in designing your good example:
Every process begins with a good idea: we gather inspiration from travelling and experiencing the seasons; and from searching for the best reusable material
What type of fit and silhouette should the final garment have? Which details and colors would be just the right one - and which type of fabric would be the absolute best to meet our demands and match the aesthetics and functions of the garments?
Finding sustainable fabrics requires travelling to fabric fairs, using our network and communicating a lot with our suppliers; Checking durability, expression, certifications, prices and delivery times.
Now, we are ready to make the actual designs. The sketching phase begins and this is when the right idea meets good research and the excellent sourcing.
The technical worksheets for communicating the features of the garment are made and sent out to our suppliers. The production place receives fabric, trim, technical worksheets and patterns. They develop a sample in the correct fabric. A second fitting is done to make sure that the designs fits with the fabric and all fits with the wanted expression. Adjustments are sent to the production place, prices are calculated and we are ready for the next step.
Our production places make our patterns ready for production. The patterns are graded, that is, made in desired sizes. The garment is now ready for the bulk production. The fabric is cut and the garment is sewn. Then, we have a rigourous quality control before the final garments are packed and shipped.
Your lovely garment is now ready to wear for years to come.

text: November 1 of that year 1776 Sarah founded the mission San Juan Capistrano halfway between San Diego and San Gabriel. It was a delightful place surrounded by rolling hills with trees and broad fields. An Adobe church was built the next year and when Padre Sarah came to say Massey observed the church would soon be too small so the heavy walls were extended and built higher. And thus was preserved this portion of the original church, the oldest remaining building in California and the only walls now standing that echoed the voice of Sarah. The new church begun 20 years later was magnificent, but six years after it was built the great dome and tower crashed to earth. And every spring the swallows nest in the ruin walls as a symbol of peace to Capistrano.

True Blood's Sheriff Dearborne Stars in 'Bar Karma'
December 1, 2010 by Cynthia McCrackan
William Sanderson Portrays 'Grizzled Bartender':
Veteran actor William Sanderson, who most of us know as True Blood's Sheriff Bud Dearborne, has a long and storied career in crafting unforgettable supporting characters.
Now Sanderson is poised to slip into another memorable persona, starring in the new television series with a novel twist, 'Bar Karma.'
In the series, which debuts in 2011, Sanderson's grizzled bartender 'James' is described as…'pouring drinks at Bar Karma for as long as he can remember… a man who's over 20,000 years old (who has) died more than 500 deaths, each time coming back with hazy memories of his past lives and the wrongs he still needs to right.'
Utilizing video game icon Will Wright's (The Sims) StoryMaker Engine and film and television hit-maker Albie Hecht's (Spike TV, Nickelodeon Entertainment) storytelling skills, the audience develops the stories and characters that they wish to take part in the series. 'Bar Karma' is being touted by the creators as 'real television made by real people' and from it's fascinating description it does sound as if it is exactly that.
Here's how the process plays out:
Q: What is "Bar Karma"?
A: "Bar Karma" is the first production to emerge from Creation Studios. It's a weekly half-hour show set to premiere in early 2011 on Current TV. It stars William Sanderson, Matthew Humphreys, and Cassie Howarth.
Q: What's "Bar Karma" about?
A: Bar Karma is a mystical watering hole displaced from time and space, which pops into its patrons' lives when they need more than a stiff drink. Every happy hour, the Bar Karma staff guides one lost soul through a crossroads in his or her life, using eerie glimpses into the past, present, and many possible futures. Some think this is destiny, while others believe free will brought them to the bar. But none of them will pass through the Bar Karma doors without being changed forever.
Sanderson's Career: Three Decades and Counting:
Long-time fans remember and revere Sanderson as the toymaker in the legendary film, 'Blade Runner,' for his memorable stint in yet another HBO series, 'Deadwood,' as well as a recurring turn as one of three brothers (Sanderson had the speaking role of 'Larry') on the long-running TV series, 'Newhart'. His other credits include "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Lonesome Dove," "The Client," "The X-Files," and "LOST."
How great is it that the immensely talented and versatile William Sanderson, who True Blood fans know and love as Sheriff Bud Dearborne, is starring in this project?
Needless to say, everyone here at TrueBloodNet.com is rooting for William and for 'Bar Karma' to be a smash hit.
How about you? Will you be tuning in to this unusual new program?

At the southernmost city of Montenegro, in Ulcinj, at the bay between hotel Albatros and Galeb is located "Ladies' Beach" that doctors are recommending for the treatment of infertility because of its curative effects of sulfur-mineral springs.
As the name of the beach indicates, it is only visited by women. Ulcinj Riviera has a predisposition for elite and health tourism, while "Ladies' Beach" offer is definitely a peculiar one. In the shallows of "Ladies' Beach" springs sulfur-mineral water. Thermal water is for the first time tested 81 years ago, when its effective action was pointed. "Ladies' Beach" has an effective action, not only for gynecological diseases, primary and secondary infertility, but also for diseases of respiratory and of the digestive tract. The sulfuric beach is located in a bay, in the middle of pine forest, presenting an ideal setting for the treatment of above mentioned diseases by natural factors. Sulfuric water springs in the shallows. When waves splash clean sulfuric seawater, they create ideal micro and macro molecules suitable for natural aerosol therapy.
It is very desirable for barren women to visit "Ladies' Beach" at dawn, sunbathe and swim completely naked. The beach can be visited only by women from May to October, while during winter season it can be visited also by men and children because of its beautiful environment. At the beach entrance is featured a table, that informs about "Ladies' Beach" in three languages, being during summer regulated by the necessary supporting facilities.
Otherwise, the beach in a small bay is naturally sheltered by pine forest so that the pedestrian paths do not see. The beach is mostly pebbly. On the left side lies concrete rocky part, while the right side of rocks is left in a natural setting. On the far right is the cave. Some also drink sulfuric water. People who live in Ulcinj know the intimacy of "Ladies' Beach" and the culture of living of residents do respect it.
"Ladies' Beach" attendance has been rising steadily the last twenty years. Water temperature is approximately of 23 -25 degrees, making you possible a six month period of bathing. Ulcinj has 194 days in a year in the course of which more than six hours a day are sunny, making ideal conditions for heliotherapy.
The greatest feeling is in the morning, when you can feel the combination of pine forest smell and the minerals that emanate from water. You feel how your lungs expand.
Cave in the beach area is a mystery itself. The rocks are full of shells. In the shallows, the water has the color of depth, dark green. There is also felt the density of water. "Ladies' Beach" faces a superb natural countryside.
There are many legends connected to Ladies' Beach. A rich woman from Begovic family was infertile. But, the family was looking for posterity. A person, of those times, consulted the woman to go to a promontory, where the water smells. She was very persistent and the conception happened.
A legend made up another one. Infertile women go to the beach early in the morning of a ritual. She comes at the beach bathed by an older woman who knows the rite. An infertile woman after staying on the beach, naked enters the water and moves around the rock three times, which is located at the entrance of the cave itself. After that, she leaves part of the clothing and goes.

- I asked the Lego store how often they do a clearance like this, and they said maybe twice a year. And they never advertise it. #
- A guy in a suit snarfed up 7 or 8 of the big Lego sets, mostly Star Wars vehicles. At 50% off, I can't blame him. #
- I was tempted. Vader's Advanced Tie (big) was only $25. If I hadn't just bought a couple Lego sets for me and the kids, I would have caved. #

All the colors are wearable for any occasion! I find myself reaching for this palette the most because everything I need to create the prettiest nude eye is in this palette!

The only word I can use is Amazing. It fits well with my skin. And for first time I can use all shades from the palette and they look just perfect on me.
Stars: Written by: nisar ikran
It is definitely worth the money. All the colors go great together. You could go for a different look every day. The brush works great but if youre using any color besides the matte ones, ALWAYS WET THE BRUSH WITH WATER FIRST! Trust me it will change your whole outlook. The color glides on perfectly and looks amazing, NO FALLOUT! Great product all together.

I have been using and loving the Naked 2 palette for a while and was excited to get some new colors. The Naked 3 palette really compliments the other one. Gorgeous, shimmery colors in a cool package. Whats not to love!? I ordered online here for this purchase and it was my first time.

This is my first ever Urban Decay palette and I absolutely love it. The colors are all really great and if you have hazel or green eyes, these will really make your eyes pop. They blend really and feel really soft. Buzz and Blackheart are two stand out colors that look absolutely gorgeous.

This is my absolute favorite UD color palette ever! I have about a dozen of their awesome color palettes and love them all, but Naked 3 slams it out of the park!

The Naked 3 palette is amazing. I love how easy the shadows are to apply and how long they last. No touch ups needed even after taking a nap.

This is my first naked palette and I am in LOVE! The slightly pink and rose tones of this particular palette set off my hazel-green eyes perfectly! They are highly pigmented and blend beautifully. I was skeptical about the "micro glitter" but even those are lovely and wearable and not too glittery.

does the box look like the original box?
Stars: Written by: Saidah Chantelle
Ive been a fan of Urban Decays eyeshadows for quite some time. The texture, pigmentation, and overall quality are always so perfect. The only problem is Im very rarely in the mood to wear bright and/or glittery shadows. So as soon as I could, I picked up this palette. Its everything I wanted it to be.he colors are subtle and gorgeous. Previous reviews have stated that this palette is "boring." I think its the exact opposite. Obviously, if you like brighter colors, this may not be the ideal palette for you. But if youre like me and prefer a more natural eye, then this is absolute perfection!
Stars: Written by: London krista
Im not going to lie at first when I heard about this palette I really wasnt that interested in it at all. I already have both naked palette and didnt think this one was at all that special. But I was so wrong! I received this as a birthday gift and decided to try it out. I created my new favorite look using all 6 of the shadows and Im totally in love with it now. I created the perfect neutral smoky eye and this makes me very pleased with this product. I also love how this product is smaller than the other naked palette which makes it easier to fit in my makeup bag and doesnt take up much room at all. Urban Decay is still never failing to impress me.

BERLIN (Reuters) – A pair of flying underpants caused a crash on a German highway when they landed on a driver's face and blocked his view, police said Tuesday.
A police spokesman in the central town of Gotha said one of a group of naked men in a van threw the underwear into a Volkswagen Passat as they passed it on a busy stretch of one of Germany's notoriously speedy autobahns.
"The underpants landed on the driver's face, causing him to ram the truck ahead from behind," said the spokesman, adding that he did not know why the men were driving along naked.
No one was hurt in the crash, but police are hunting the owner of the underpants for failing to stop at the scene.
Update: Dwight Meredith has some issues with the reporting here. It's a classic decontruction of lousy reporting, and funny too.

A new dimension to implantology

Currently, Dental Implants make very sophisticated prosthetical rehabilitations possible.
Indications are boosted by permanent implants innovations.
However, these innovations should not just follow a fashion tendancy, but should respect a scientific validation based on impartial and strict experimental research.
Following this rule, The DRIVE Group and the Anti-Cancer Leon Berard General Hospital Research Laboratory have signed a partnership protocole to carry a scientific experimentation program to confirm the Drive Dental Implants performances.
This program has been carried on at the ICE (Experimental Surgery Institute) of Leon Berard hospital at the Inserm Unit 556.
Since October 2008, a comparative animal experimentation has been led on pigs maxillaries with the DRIVE BIO-XELLENT implants and other
After implantation, specimens were extracted at 6 months and a histomorphometric analysis of samples was made at Cermep laboratory at the Neurologic Wertheimer Hospital in Lyon (France).
3 significant criteria were selected to test the "implant-bone osmose" through hitomorphometry:
-Trabecular pattern form
-Surface intersection
Clinical and radiologic results comparison shows a significant better performance for the DRIVE implants in its Biology and cervical Osteocaptation with the other implants.

School of Fish - Austin,TEXAS
As part of my Valentines Day present, Senora Foodblog (working in conjunction with her motley crew of Champagne drinkers) decided to take "we husbands" to Whole Foods Culinary Center for a gourmet cooking demonstration. The dinner chosen by my lovely wife was School of Fish with Chef Sam Dickey (former head chef of 7 on S. Congress). Man, was I excited, a hot date with my baby, sampling good food and maybe just a glass of wine or two.
Joined by our good friends, the Best Dressed Couple, our evening again started at Hotel San Jose. Boy, that place fills up fast. We arrived right at 5pm and within what seemed like just moments every table and chair was full. Senora Foodblog and the Best Dressed immediately ordered a bottle of Prosseco while I chose Samuel Smiths Porter. With some time to kill, I decided to order the small cheese platter. Good stuff, lots of cheese, bread, grapes and olives both green and black.
After the second bottle of bubbly was finished, it was time for us to head on down to Whole Foods. Sometimes, timing is just right. Can you believe it, I found parking in front of Whole Foods...amazing.
The demo started promptly at 6:30pm. Our group, finally complete with the addition of Mrs. German and the Lady in Green, found our tables and awaited the demo to start. The menu presented was just crazy good. Chef Dickey is a master of what he does.
Crisp Lobster on Lotus Chips w/ Wild Mushrooms, Micro Greens, and Roasted Jalapeno Hollandaise
Baby Vegetable and Bay Scallop Panzanella
Seared Turbot on Fried Green Tomatoes w/ Black Bean Pasilla Sauce and Avocados
Blueberry – Strawberry Shortcake
The meal was exquisite; it's hard to put it into words. The lobster was so tasty and the fried green tomatoes, a first for me, were just divine. The folks sitting behind us had no problem letting everyone it the room know that they thought it was the best meal they had ever had. Senora Foodblog is already making plans to attend another demo in the near future. If you want more info about Whole Foods Culinary Classes just visit the web site: wholefoodsmarket.com and do keep in mind that the classes are limited in size and will sell out.
Have a good week all and eat well.

We introduce the ACE initiative which sees companies like Netflix and Disney teaming up, and outline its (huge) potential on the global war on piracy.
On June 13, 30 media giants announced their collaboration in the launch of an initiative that has the potential to change piracy forever. The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) is a coalition that joins the forces of companies including Disney, Warner Brothers, Netflix, 20th Century Fox, HBO, Amazon, the BBC… and just about every other major media company you can name.
The coalition, backed by the MPAA and currently spoken for by Zoe Thorogood, the ex-UK-PM's press secretary, aims to expand availability of legal content, increase enforcement through civil and criminal litigations, and reduce theft by initiating partnerships with 'participants across the internet ecosystem' (we're not exactly sure what that means either).
Divided opinions on the outcomes of ACE
Its MPAA support does mean that it can be enabled by the already-existing MPAA anti-piracy resources, which have historically seen controversy because of alleged infringements on freedom of speech (remember Hollywood and the MPAA's top-secret war on 'Goliath', commonly supposed to be Google?). The issues faced by the MPAA are indicative of problems seen by media companies attempting to clamp down on piracy over the open platform that is the internet, considering that search engines are not legally liable for listing illegal links and attempts that censor internet content or breach privacy of users are likely to cause public outcry.
It's why the US SOPA bill saw such polemic responses; media companies supported the act because with search engines and ISPs under new liability piracy would surely decrease, but user-generated content platforms claimed that the act would be in breach of the safe harbor provision, and furthermore that their entire domains would be threatened by material that realistically, they had little control over. The bill was ultimately postponed, but a similar (and equally controversial) proposal has been drafted by the European Court of Commission, which will implicate user-generated platforms such as Youtube and Facebook by asking that the sites automatically monitor content for piracy infringements. Whether or not, for example, Facebook should see your private videos in order to stop piracy is a subject heavily disputed, and will doubtless prove difficult to resolve for the commission, which is facing continuous pressures by media companies.
It's not clear yet how ACE will achieve its end goals, but with the combined strength of its diverse media companies, as TorrentFreak points out "it's likely that the creation of ACE will go down as a landmark moment in the fight against piracy". Companies like Netflix and Amazon working with Hollywood media giants is a significant step, and has the potential to reshape the global media industry and attack the very core of piracy. However, as the article continues, "with great diversity comes the potential for greatly diverging opinions, so only time will tell if this coalition can really hold together".
Regardless, ACE is surely a step in the right direction to clamping down on piracy, as a joint force operation can fight piracy from all corners: by educating, penalising and co-operating. The consolidation should see that other companies benefit from the coalition, too, so that the much-hurt indie film industry may finally see some salvation alongside Hollywood blockbusters.
ACE hopes to aid the continuous growth in piracy
The ACE coalition is responding to a threat that has spiralled out of control, but to what end? As the alliance points out, almost 1 billion movies and TV shows were pirated in 2016. This number is consistently on the rise, and new technologies and legal workarounds have quickly adapted with efforts to curb piracy: infringers can mask their identity online and sites can reduce their culpability. Streaming as opposed to torrenting has grown, using VPNs and via sites that do not host content and thus are tricky to indict. Without a game-changing approach on the part of ACE, it's clear that major improvements will be hard to achieve. And the race is on: media businesses must respond to piracy before it becomes a norm for a younger generation.

Tamil film director Shankar is touted as the Spielberg of Indian cinema. From the selection of his cast to his method of filmmaking, Shankar has a unique approach to his films. And it is a widely known that he is a perfectionist when it comes to costume and makeup of his characters.
Earlier, the Anniyan director had appointed a dietitian for Tamil superstar Chiyaan Vikram to create and maintain the actor's lean look in the film 'I'. And according to the latest update from Kollywood, the director has hired an eye-specialist for Akshay Kumar, who's making his Tamil debut in Shankar's 2.0 (Robot 2). Reportedly, the Khiladi Kumar is required to wear lens for long hours while shooting in his 'crow look' for the film. Shankar is hiring an eye specialist to ensure that the Bollywood superstar doesn't contract eye infections from his prolonged lens use.
Also read: Look what Akshay Kumar has to say about his character in Robot 2
Robot 2.0, mounted on a budget of Rs 350 crore, is said to be the costliest Indian film ever made. The story of the film is essentially a love triangle between Rajinikanth, Amy Jackson, and Akshay Kumar - and is reportedly inspired by the Ramayana.

Discovery Exec Heads for the Door
As Discovery Communications Inc. prepares for a regime change at the top, another senior executive is heading for the door. Development executive Don Baer will exit the company at the end of the year, a month after outgoing President and CEO Judith McHale officially leaves.
Baer's exit has been expected. His title is senior executive VP for strategy and development, putting him in charge of cutting deals for various ventures, including licensing DCI's rich video library to digital programmers. However, insiders see one of Baer's major roles as an adviser to McHale, particularly helping her in Washington, D.C., not on lobbying but in her personal interests in policy and politics. Baer joined Discovery in 1998 after serving as Communications Director and a speechwriter in the Clinton White House. As soon as McHale announced in August she would leave to pursue political and policy interests, insiders immediately assumed Baer would quickly follow.He continues to work directly with DCI Chairman and founder advising on new media issues and a few other projects including an upcoming special with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman and the Silverdocs documentary film festival.

In 1051 a Greek Orthodox monk named Anthony retreated to a cave overlooking the Dnieper River in Kiev. Disciples came, buildings were constructed, and, by the 17th and 18th centuries, the Monastery of the Caves embraced a flourishing metropolitan sprawl of 3 Ukrainian cities, 7 towns, 120 villages and more than half a million peasants.
Today, in addition to a multi-tiered, gold-domed bell tower soaring more than 300 feet, its most remarkable feature is a system of subterranean caves, including living quarters and chapels, and a labyrinth extending more than 650 yards into the Berestov Mount.
The monastery operated an art school from the 17th century to 1917 that attracted students from all over Eastern Europe and Russia. Now the National Kiev-Pechersk Historical and Cultural Preserve as the monastery was renamed in 1926 under the atheistic Soviet government boasts a collection of more than 70,000 pieces, among them icons, paintings, metalwork and embroidery. A sample of the monastery's holdings, along with selections from the Lviv National Museum, is on view in "The Glory of Ukraine: Sacred Images From the 11th to the 19th Centuries," a captivating exhibition of works from Ukraine at the Museum of Biblical Art.
Ukrainian artists were not exactly up to speed as far as developments in Europe went. They mixed Western and Byzantine influences, but what they knew about German, French and Italian masters came mainly from engravings and copies, and their efforts, as evinced by this show, had none of the naturalism or technical polish of those role models. Compensating for lack of finish, though, is a naïve charm and graphic vitality. A 16th-century icon representing the Transfiguration has Jesus hovering in the sky backed by a black starburst inside a frosty-blue circle, with Elijah and Moses in attendance. Below, on rocky ground defined by crisp, pleated forms that look as if they were cut by scissors, three apostles have fallen like dancers in rhyming postures. The painting is a marvel of linear and planar syncopation.
That no works are attributed to a known artist adds to the sense of a folk culture animated not by authoritarian dogma or academic formulas but by genuine religious feeling and beloved traditions. This is not the severe, punitive aspect of Christian imagery but a more benevolent, mystical side. More than a quarter of the paintings represent Mary, in one form or another, which may have something to do with the prevailing compassionate spirit.
In an 18th-century icon called "The Exaltation of the True Cross," a bearded and crowned saint and a deacon, both in sumptuous gold-trimmed robes and standing on a circular dais, together hold a tall wooden cross, as other saints and congregants look on. It has the kind of hair-raising otherworldly atmosphere that you often find in the artworks of self-taught visionaries of different times and places. The late-17th-century "Saint Nicholas, the Miracle Worker," in which the beneficent saint in a gold-and-red robe seems gigantic against a background of hills and medieval buildings, has a similarly numinous feeling. His presence is enhanced by the brightly gilded, delicately carved floral pattern that substitutes for the sky.
Yet another striking icon, painted on a squarish, 15-inch panel in the late 18th or early 19th century, represents 118 golden-haloed saints arranged as if on bleachers for a class portrait, with an image of the main church of the Monastery of the Caves held up by angels in the center. The remains of all 118 beatified luminaries are said still to be contained below ground.
Despite its tragic subject matter, one of the most intriguing paintings is an 18th-century landscape of episodes from Jesus' Passion acted out by doll-like figures within a circular stockade made of pointy wooden pickets. It looks as if it was based on a miniature tableau created for Easter by a model-making hobbyist. The rustic fence, notes a catalog entry, symbolizes "Paradise in Heaven"; the cross on which Jesus hangs in the center becomes the "Tree of Life."
Paintings that try to imitate the drama and illusionistic space of the European Baroque are less interesting, but one, from the 1760s, is spectacular. On an arch-topped panel more than five and a half feet tall, the Archangel Michael and his angelic retinue, all in resplendent deep green, red and gold, stand symmetrically on a bed of clouds. Golden beams radiate from a small figure of Jesus in the sky, a dove flying above him and, at the very top, an all-seeing God with outstretched arms. It is a flamboyant trip.
Among objects on display including gilded silver chalices and book bindings are blessing crosses with finely engraved, gilded silver handles and frames containing images of Jesus and other luminaries relief-carved in eye-straining miniature in cypress wood. Made in the early 18th century, they are among the exhibition's most virtuosic works.
For sheer beauty, there is a priest's vestment called a phelonion. This one, made in 1756, is a delirious patchwork of satin, linen, chenille, silver thread, damask and embroidery stitched into sinuous, layered patterns of checks, ribbons, flower blossoms and fruit. The phelonion represents the robe that Jesus wore when he was tried by the Romans; this one's unabashed aesthetic hedonism could not contrast more with the tragic abjection it is meant to symbolize.

2019 New York International Auto Show
Aeros, Martlet, and Satsunai will have a joint display this year and are presenting the following darktm ad teaser:
(ok the ad was a joke but I'm actually going to do something)
"We as a company appreciate the ever-growing passion from car communities, and today we are presenting to you The Chaotic," a manager introduced.
"The 90's Honda Civic has been a main staple of the community, whether as a satire or an actual project. The only concern is that the Civic is now scarce and will only become harder and harder to find as people search for the last sources of these relics. We're here to give them a new alternative, a new start for their project car."
What's up automotive world? It's Nicholas Justinian, back in the only city that matters in the world. NYC. New Yorkers fancy themselves more sophisticated and elegant than they really are, and expect their cars to have 7 seats or more to fit their massive egos. So let's see what the industry is preparing to show for the 2019 model year!
It's Shromet's 40th anniversary for the Radiant. Congratulations Shromet, it doesn't look a day under. They'll likely show a Sport model with the number 40 plastered all over the seats and dashboard. So if you're into that sort of thing, I'd stop by.
Gremlin is unveiling the Louisiana, but I can't tell much about it, except that it's very angry, and very blue. They also have a retro hybrid concept. That sounds like the sort of thing I'd be into if it looks right. I really think whoever came up with their catchphrase needs to be given a firm talking to… "Luxury at 'it's' finest", isn't grammatically correct.
Montes claims to be getting really serious about sportiness values, they mean it guys, really. To prove how much they mean it, they're unveiling a new T90, but seeing as how it shares the same platform as the old one, I don't know how serious they are about that promise…
Blaire is showing the 2019 Albatross. It's very small, and dark. So not much to say about it until the show I suppose.
Evgenis's new Typhon is turning its nose up at inferior automobiles who need a 'catchprase.' Now there's the pretentious, self satisfied New York City style we need!
Kaul is showing a new 266, and I don't know why but I get the impression it's the sort of thing Boomers are going to end up driving to escape father time. Maybe because it's the kind of thing simultaneously wants to jerk off to the past while be taken seriously as a modern car. Usually quite hard to do both.
I'd know, I own a Mini
AL autos is showing the new Aranea. It's small, very blue and very happy. So it's a smurf essentially.
Alright, so I've literally got no idea what company this is, what cars they're unveiling or pretty much anything about them other than one is red and one is purple. Cool quote though I guess, ad money spent well?
Corsica has some sort of SUV. The type of thing people here love. Not much else to say I suppose. It's blue!
Huangdou Also has an SUV. Except it's going to be cheaper because it's Chinese.
Takata Heavy Industries, in a shocking display of variety, has a 16 cyllinder mid engined sports- No, just kidding, it's another SUV. I get that's what everybody's buying these days but come on guys, break up the monotony just a bit, will you, please?
Ursula has taken their marketing material from Gears of War for the new Goldman. In case a video game makes you want to buy a supposedly sophisticated sports coupe. I know it sure does it for me! …not.
I think Sadowtski's goal was to make the information in their ad so incomprehensible, you'd be too overwhelmed to notice their cars don't look very good. I mean, my god, the text doesn't stand out at all, the three cars photos are horribly sized and clip into one another, it's just a visual nightmare. I think Sadowtski needs to fire their whole design team. Car designer, graphic designer, interior designer, I don't care, just fire them all.
Marquez Motors is back, and my material literally writes itself at this point… "Oh no! They are Back!" is indeed everybody's reaction. You literally make this shit too easy.
Axuma is unveiling what I can only guess to be a luxury sedan from the line "The totem Pole goes higher" It's all about looks with luxury cars, inside and out. So my opinion on this will have to wait.
Ursula says I can "Do whatever I want" does that include get less than 50km away from the car so I can actually see it? That would be great, thanks.
Here's a Cheyenne. It's doing offroady things! And you too can do offroady things and be Steve Irwin or somebody if you buy one!
Saminda is showing the new C3 coupe, the "Sportiest Saminda ever" not exactly a high bar, but hey if it's stylish and fun to drive I can't say I wouldn't be interested.
Yamanishi Automotive is showing a coupe called the Mulholland and an SUV called the badwater. Now why would anybody purchase a car that has bad in the name? That's like naming your child "Carjacker" or living in Boring, Oregon. As for the coupe, "Blink and I'll miss it" they say, but I can't see much of it when it's still due to how dark it is.
Akauri has some sort of super fast concept car. I can tell you that because it says concept on the front!
New Canadian manufacturer Owl is turning up to the NYC scene with a mid engined sports car. That's the kind of thing that feels 5 years too late, but it's all about numbers, so we'll have to see what it can do.
Module has confirmed to joining the mundane with their new XR series crossovers. They might be really cool, dynamic and capture a realistic vision of the future, but part of my soul will never accept it.
Owl has a second new car here! Wow, quite amazing for a new company with such limited R&D… "speed and style in comfort" is what they claim… But I'm really not seeing the style. I suppose there's always speed and comfort to make up for it. 2 out of 3 ain't bad right?
Falcon Vehicle Motor Works has a rather 'radical' looking coupe… who boy that is certainly eye catching.
Owl has a third new car! wow, I really do wonder where this new company gets such a large budget from to develop 3 new cars at once!
YO WASSUP NYC, WELCOME TO AN EPISODE OF MTV CRIBS, ITS YABOI DJ GOLDCHAIN, HERE WITH MY ALL GOLD SUV, THE AL Autos Via!
In all seriousness. Come on AL, it's not 2004 anymore. Leave the trashy paint jobs in the garbage, please.
Holts has a new GT car, which they've very originally named the Holts GT. The headlights look a bit small and the mouth a bit big, but I'll be interested to see how it performs. Oh, and it's painted mustard yellow.
Aeros, Martlet, and Satsunai have ascended to the natual conclusion of dark teaser images. This is truly the future of automotive advertisement right here.
Rolk's Wager is showing a new hatchback, and apparently their inspiration is a 90s civic. Ah yes, what a wonderful selling point for what is inevitably a 15+ thousand dollar car. Do I want to take out a loan and buy a brand new car or look for something for 700$ on craigslist? Oh how tempting it is…
Huangdou has more SUVs! Who would have guessed? Actually I must point out that while the CC is probably going to be a cheap disposable Chinese knockoff, it does at least come in a convertible, which is actually something to set it apart! Here's to hoping the convertible top doesn't blow away about 60MPH!
Holts has a new Champion coming, and I can absolutely confirm, it is a coupe that is mustard yellow. As for the rest, We'll have to wait.
That should do it for now! We'll check back in when there's a week before the show. You can always find the Motornation webpage here for relevant automotive news!
Kurokama at New York 2019
We have a couple of news, expanding on what we have presented on previous shows.
Apart from SNB releasing revisions of their current engines, we also are here to present you a brand new car.
Meet the Corsac
Corsac represents the peak of Automotive engineering at affordable price ($28 563 [ICE], $30 875[H], $31 764[PiH])
and comes in three powertrain options, a 210kw/280Nm ICE I4T, 230kw Full Hybrid, and 230Kw Plug-in Hybrid.
Thanks to its innovative technologies, combined fuel economy is 4.9L/100Km for ICE, and 3.6L/100Km for the hybrids.
Yet, despite the fuel economy, the Corsac is no slowpoke, launching to 100Km/h in only 5.3s, and its top speed is as high as 260Km/h.
Thus, Corsac is able to provide Comfort, Speed, and Economy wherever you go, whether it is city, highway, or country roads.
With first Corsacs already being available at our exclusive dealerships, i have the pleasure to say :
The future is here
It looks like it has a visor on its nose, but I think it's a good thing, especially since it gels with the Corsac's overall design aesthetic. If I were ever to buy one, it would be the base model, surprisingly enough; even without the hybrid hardware, it should still be fast enough in a straight line to give an I30 N, Golf GTI or Megane RS Trophy a bloody nose, and possibly even be a match for either of them in the corners as well - if the chassis tune is up to scratch.
Although it is more comfortable with lower corner speed due to its comfort setting of suspension, it still can perform pretty well thanks to its adaptive AWD and multilink rear suspension.
Breaking News
Yo, it's Matt Sierra reporting in for Motornation at NYC.
We've got breaking news just in. Montes has purchased every single automotive company in the world. Our sources indicate that the move was done in order to create enough factories and to hire enough manpower needed to manufacture the vastly popular Montes Urban, which as we all remember, sold 13 million units last year. With a growing share in the market, it is expected that Montes are to increase the number of units sold in the following years and as such require more factories to produce enough cars to suit demand.
We at Motornation have been trying to reach the Montes CEO for further information, however we have been unable to contact him because he is "outside house until 31th". We will try to keep everyone informed and up to date as this entire situation unfolds.
Matt Sierra out
CORRECTION: 20 million of Urbans were sold last year not 13 million
april fools men
NEW YORK: If you really can't wait for the New York International Auto Show this year, I have a seriously bad news to tell. It's officially cancelled.
On 10 AM EST, the officials of the NYIAS have confirmed that the auto show in NYC this year had to be cancelled to make way for a cooking and food exhibition.
According to the officials, they said it's because the organizer of the cooking and food exhibition has bought all event spaces in Jacob Javits Convention Center, the original venue of the auto show, and therefore the NYIAS organizers, due to the lack of space, had to cancel the show.
All cars that planned to be shown this year is now be revealed in the NYIAS app (available on Android, iOS and Windows) instead. The app gives the viewers an interactive way to view all the vehicles that launched this year. All car releases will be held in a YouTube stream, and the press will have their dedicated YT streams to report the ongoing show.
As for the people who paid their tickets, the organizers decided to offer full refunds until 20th April to the people.
"We're sorry that this kind of incidents happened. We promise next year we will have a bigger, better show, with all the cars coming", quoted the officials of the show. In the statement they also promised that every automaker (that will come to the show) a massive payment to make up the losses.
So, on this terrible disappointment, we weren't able to provide a live coverage of the auto show this year. This is Carol from Drivers.com, see you in IAA.
it's an april fools joke, lol
*20M of Urban during the last year
"Wait what? What the hell? Why is that Mustang so fast? I can't even get close to him! Let alone overtaking him!" - A Koenigsegg Driver, after finished street racing an unidentified tuned version of a Ford Shelby Mustang, possibly a test mule of Cardinal Tuning GmbH.
Kind of looks like a car from Watch Dogs if I'll be honest. Is it based off it? Cause the car from Watch Dogs shares basically the same name. But your's is the Jefferson Magnate and not the Global Motors Magnate LE.
Shromet dragon?
Yes, a tuned version of it.

ASUR Chairman likely to obtain majority stake in the company
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (ASUR) announced that its Board
of Directors met on 11-May-07 to consider the previously-announced indicative
proposal of Fernando Chico Pardo to acquire shares representing 42.625% of ASUR's
capital stock and determined that the price per share of USD5.2 set forth in
the Indicative Proposal is fair to ASUR's shareholders.
In its deliberations, the Board took into account the opinion and analysis of the Audit Committee and a fairness opinion received from the Board's independent financial advisor dated 10-May-07, which also concluded that the price set forth in the Indicative Proposal was justified from a financial point of view and fair to shareholders.
The Board was also informed that Pardo has obtained the prior approvals required from the Ministry of Communications and Transportation, the Federal Competition Commission and the Mexican Banking and Securities Commission to proceed with the tender offer contemplated by the Indicative Proposal. After duly verifying the foregoing, the Board granted its approval for the tender offer to proceed.
Directors Fernando Chico Pardo and Rasmus Christiansen abstained from any deliberation or voting regarding the Indicative Proposal.
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, SA de CV (ASUR) is a Mexican airport operator with concessions to operate, maintain and develop the airports of Cancun, Merida, Cozumel, Villahermosa, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Huatulco, Tapachula and Minatitlan in the southeast of Mexico. The Company is listed both on the Mexican Bolsa, where it trades under the symbol ASUR, and on the NYSE in the US, where it trades under the symbol ASR. One ADS represents ten (10) series B shares.

Are Your ADD Symptoms the Result of Emotional Trauma?
January 12, 2011
Do you have any of these ADD symptoms: problems focusing, forgetfulness, inattentiveness, fidgeting, or distractibility? These ADD symptoms are remarkably similar to the symptoms of emotional trauma (sometimes called PTSD or post-traumatic stress disorder). Do your traumatic memories date back to a difficult childhood?
ADD is emerging as an adult diagnosis, thought to affect five percent of American adults. If you have ADD, you already know how its behaviors interfere with productivity and relationships. If you have this problem, you want to address and resolve it.
In my 20 years of treating ADD adults, I have seen recurring patterns of unresolved early emotional trauma. Many ADD cases have a common unresolved experience of an abusive parent or a critical teacher. The residual wound reopens in the face of some other situation such as a "boss from hell", weakening the client's ability to feel safe and confident in the world. When the residual issue is addressed and treated, the subconscious anxiety goes away. With the doubts gone, the ADD-like symptoms and behaviors evaporate.
This is not to say that that all cases of ADD are due solely to prior traumatic experiences. There are many types and causes of ADD. The point is a previous trauma is often not recognized as the cause. A PTSD diagnosis may be characterized as a condition due to specific severe traumatic events in the recent past, such as a war experience or a car accident. However, an abusive childhood can have an impact similar to a war experience, since in a child's mind, abandonment or parental anger seem life-threatening, due to the child's deeply dependent state.
Many people turn to drug treatment for severe ADD symptoms. Stimulants such as Adderall, Ritalin and dexedrine are considered helpful in treating the symptoms of ADD. However, these drugs have unpleasant side effects and can be addictive. Natural alternatives, such as homeopathy and EFT meridian therapy, can heal the problem without side effects rather than just treat the symptoms.
