CHARLES ONCE AGAIN COMES FACE TO FACE WITH 555!!!!

A couple of days ago, I bumped into 555!!!



For you newcomers? You can read a past blog I wrote about 555 in August. You can read it by clicking here -

target="_blank">Charles
Blog

555 is still doing the same life. She turned to prostitution to feed her habit. It’s sad because I always like 555!

While chatting with her, she noticed the Saint John Police Forces going at Tim’s.



It would be great if the Saint John Police Force announced a huge news conference telling the rest of the country that we need a lot of money from the Provincial and Federal Government for Methadone clinics.

There is no need to have a huge waiting list in New Brunswick for Methadone. People are dying while waiting and this is not right!!! Do people care? Of course not!!!

555 has been on a waiting list for months and months.

Last month a guy name Phil Gauthier.




He came from Vancouver as a guest speaker in Fredericton.



He told the audience that there’s a methadone clinic on every block but here it’s a total different story.

Afterwards, I was chatting with this high profile drug councillor about the numbers of people who's on Methadone.



I feel very bad for 555!



She told me that if she was on Methadone? She would be off the streets!

While chatting with her? She said - Oh dear? There’s goes my drug dealer and I got no money!

You would believe these drug dealers would have a little sympathy once in a while but it doesn’t work this way!

All they do is drive around the City and sell the drugs Pretty good life if you asks moi?

The needles are over the streets in Saint John but our elected official don’t give a darn.



Can you imagine the crime spree that’s going on within the family unit that’s not reported to the Police?

Almost every household has been broken into but the Government don’t care.

Andy Campbell from ATV News did a story last week of the problem with shoplifting in Fredericton because of the problem with Dilaudid.



555 wouldn’t wish to end up as Chrissy < I believe that’s her name?


This young girl died last year and I was told that her heart was 80% block by the oxy-contin. I guess her name was Chrissy!



Her friends put a picture on the corner where she used to work as a prostitute to feed her habit. She’s dead now but maybe her memory will stay around for a bite.

So? What’s going to happen to 555? Is she going to make it? Will she die on the waiting list for Methadone?



In Nova Scotia if someone dies from oxy-contin? The whole province knows but not here in New Brunswick.

They just label it as heart failure. Very sad indeed.

It doesn’t matter what 555 does? She’ll always be a friend of mine.

The old saying is so true You know who your friends are when you’re down?



These days 555 is really down there and I pray that one day she’ll get her much needed methadone.

GOD'S MINUTE!!!

PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, THAT YOU MAY BE
ABLE TO STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.
( EPHESIANS 6:11 *NKJV )

Dear Charles,
God tells us to put on the Gospel Armor to protect us from
satan's evil tricks and temptations as well. This is; BECAUSE
YOUR ADVERSARY THE DEVIL WALKS ABOUT LIKE A
ROARING LION, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR.
( 1 PETER 5:8 )

Therefore God also tells us what the Gospel Armor is, for
He said; STAND THEREFORE, HAVING GIRDED YOUR
WAIST WITH TRUTH, HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HAVING SHOD YOUR FEET
WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE;
ABOVE ALL, TAKING THE SHIELD OF FAITH WITH WHICH
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS
OF THE WICKED ONE. AND TAKE THE HELMET OF
SALVATION, AND THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH IS
THE WORD OF GOD. ( EPHESIANS 6:14-17 )

Now that you know what the "Gospel Armor" is, wear it with
pride. It is perfect for every occasion from a black tie affair, to
mowing the lawn! Best of all it never goes out of style and
one size fits all! So Charles, think of it like the American
Express Card, "Don't leave home without it!" For wearing that
armor will help you to; RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE
FROM YOU. Amen! ( JAMES 4:7 )

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

BERNARD LORD - HEY KID???? DO YOU WANT TO PLAY SOME VIDEO GAMES???

L-Ritalin-1, originally uploaded by Oldmaison.

ADHD patients play video games as part of treatment
By Susan Jenks , Florida Today
A generation raised on video games is inspiring researchers' efforts to unlock the mysteries of a puzzling learning disorder that afflicts millions of school-age children and even some adults.

Whether speeding down a virtual street in Sony's Gran Turismo or slaying Spyro the Dragon, researchers hope games such as these will improve the lives of those with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD, or cognitive-processing difficulties.

People with these disorders experience "constant frustration," says Henry Owens, a Melbourne, Fla., clinical psychologist who recently began offering a patented video game system, which evolved from NASA technology, to some of his patients.

"If they just play video games on their own, they will zone out," he says. "When they play on this system, if they zone out, the video game doesn't respond any more," acting as an incentive to improve focus and concentration.

That comes through controlling brain-wave activity, which some researchers say is too slow or too fast in certain areas of the brain when patients have ADHD.

Video game play is a form of neuro-feedback, Owens says, which teaches patients to self-regulate brain-wave patterns to improve learning.

But some researchers remain cautious.

"It's still controversial," says Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at Schneider Children's Hospital in New Hyde Park, N.Y.

He says studies have yet to show video game play with a neuro-feedback component has either a short-term or long-term benefit, despite parents' desire to explore other options in the wake of recent concerns about Ritalin and other stimulants used to treat ADHD.

They need to ask, "Does it help, and is it the best treatment available?" says Adesman, a spokesman for Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, a non-profit education, advocacy and support group in Maryland.

The concern, he adds, is parents might abandon mainstay treatments — a combination of pharmacological and educational interventions that have been tested and proved over time.

Owens, however, says some patients have been using the video game system, developed by the San Diego company CyberLearning Technology, in combination with medications, while others want to try the non-drug alternative first, before turning to drug therapy.

Owens says he has four patients playing Smart Brain Games (www.smartbraingames.com), as the system is known, at home — a recent alternative to in-office sessions, which began about a year ago.

Of the home training, he says, "Its advantage is intensity," although he advises against playing more than 20 minutes a day for children younger than 10, and no more than a half-hour daily for everyone else.

And while the company makes the system available directly to consumers — and it is compatible with any Sony off-the-shelf video game — Owens says that without an initial evaluation with an electroencephalogram or EEG, to map brain activity, "how would you know what's being treated?"

"Because this is so new and such a commitment," he says, "we don't want parents to do it lightly."

FDA approved

In Florida, Owens is one of only five practitioners authorized by the company to offer its gaming system.

Lindsay Greco, a co-founder of CyberLearning, says the company has 54 providers Nationwide, identified by "licensure and their expertise in neuro-feedback."

She says the system has approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and that by mid-2003 the company had acquired an exclusive license from NASA to take Langley Research Center's technology, enabling researchers to measure the brain waves of pilots during flight simulations, into the gaming arena.

The device works through a specially designed helmet, with built-in sensors that monitor a player's brain waves. Signals from the sensors are fed through a signal-processing unit and then to a video controller as a game is played.

"There are other systems with computer-based technologies where the bar goes up and down," Greco says. "But these are rudimentary. Our games empower you to change your own brain's physiology."

Like Owens, she says the best games are jumping and racing games that provide consistent movement and a better ability to measure feedback response.

Also, where there is a diagnosis of ADHD, she says, patients should seek providers' expertise on how best to use the system.

Of the roughly 700 systems sold, she says, about 70% have gone to patients using them under the supervision of a health care professional, while 30% have been bought by people for entertainment or those "simply wanting to sharpen their attention or memory."

Greco says in-office neuro-feedback programs normally cost from $4,000 to $5,000, while their system costs $584, with in-office network provider supervision running less than $2,000.

Insurance typically does not cover any of these expenses.

"Cost has been a huge challenge for many consumers," she says.

'Quite helpful'

Although he has not worked with the video game system, Thomas Peake, another Melbourne clinical psychologist, supports the concept "in the right hands."

"If it's done right, these things, in and of themselves, can be quite helpful," Peake says. "And kids are used to playing games and like them."

He says he used to do biofeedback to help patients control pain and has seen it used in major medical centers to help speed recovery in stroke patients.

"Most people off the street would not know how to use these devices, however," he cautions. "But, to me, the principle is a good one."

MAY GOD BE GRACIOUS TO US AND BLESS US AND
MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON US.
( PSALM 67:1 * NIV )

Dear Charles,
In this busy World of ours we often forget to stop and
count all of our blessings. If we are not careful we will
even take them for granted! So why not stop and count
your blessings today, for when you count them, you will
find that there are many indeed! Also you will find that
counting your blessings is a great way to begin each day
as well.

Now the above verse reminds me of a poem that I very
much enjoy. It was written by one of my favorite Christian
Poet's. So today I would like to share that poem with you,
and it is my hope that you will enjoy it as well!

Your Blessings Are So Many, Lord!

Your blessings are so many, Lord,
To count them one by one
Would take much longer than a day
That has just now begun!

You fill each day with miracles
From dawn to setting sun.
Each night You hear a million prayers
When day's work is done.

You keep this old world spinning
As seasons come and go,
And each one is a masterpiece
That stets our hearts aglow.

You fill the earth with beauty, Lord,
With flowers, shrubs and trees,
And we marvel at Your rainbows
And butterflies and bees.

Your words still give us comfort
For Your promises are true.
Your blessings are so many, Lord,
In everything we do!
Poet, Clay Harrison

Have a Wonderful Monday Charles, and may the Peace
of God be with you! Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, IS THE LORD OF HOSTS: THE
WHOLE EARTH IS FULL OF HIS GLORY!
( ISAIAH 6:3 *NKJV )

Dear Charles,
Indeed, the whole Earth is full of His Glory! You can
see it in a beautiful sunrise or sunset. You can feel it
in the soft summer breeze. You can touch it by
holding a newborn babe. You can smell it in the flowers.
It is ever abundant all around, for no matter where we
live, beauty surrounds us! FOR HE HAS MADE
EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL IN ITS TIME. ( ECCL 3:11 )
What a beautiful planet we live on, and what a wonderful
Heavenly Father we have!

Why not take a few moments today to look around
and behold the Glory of God's Creation? It will make
you proud to be a Child of God, and give you a peaceful
feeling deep within!

Also, why not attend the Church of your choice today,
and; PRAISE GOD IN HIS SANCTUARY; PRAISE HIM
FOR HIS MIGHTY ACTS; PRAISE HIM ACCORDING
TO HIS EXCELLENT GREATNESS! ( PSALM 150:2 )

Have a wonderful day Charles, and may it be filled
with Peace, Love & Joy, and may; THE GRACE OF OUR
LORD JESUS CHRIST BE WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.
( PHILIPPIANS 4:23 )

With My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
