You can thank me later Bernard for the early election.
If the election would have been in October 2007? Bernard would have surely lost.
NUMBER 21 IS DOING JUST FINE AFTER A CLOSE CALL WITH DEATH!!!
This is number 21! I first came face to face with this woman in the summer of 2003.
You should have seen her.
She was very skinny < down to bones >
You would see her panhandling on the streets for money for her drug habit.
This was a different panhandler. She had beautiful sad eyes. You could tell that she was hurting big time!!!
She wasn’t aggressive with the citizens. All she wanted was money for a fix.
Did she prostitute her body for money? I don’t think so.
She refuse to turn to crime to get more for a drug habit.
It was a very sad case and I truly felt bad for her.
She was proof that there is a huge drug problem in Fredericton.
These days, Number 21 has gain a lot of weight and she’s on methadone.
Number 21 could have like others become a statistic and die on the streets but she didn’t.
Did you know that in Nova Scotia, if a person dies because of Dilaudid? This information will be made public but in New Brunswick they say- It’s heart failure.
I bet there’s hundreds who have died on Dilaudid but the Bernard lord Government don’t wish the public to know this. She’s doing just fine and she should be congratulated for a job very well done!!!
CFBC TALK OF THE TOWN SHOULD MOVE TO FM MODE!!!!
Is it time for the radio talk show Talk of the town to move into the FM area?
I know many people who would love to listen to this show but they can’t because it’s on AM and they can’t receive the poor signals.
I believe they should move to FM!!!! It would reach a much larger audience.
It's the only true show talk in New brunswick and they should move up in the world of radio!
NEW WAY FOR ADHD PEOPLE TO CONNECT WITH GOD????
We got the beat
Research is revealing that rhythm affects everything biological, including the human brain

KEEPING TIME: Tempo is a natural part of our biology — witness birds chirping in sync and two people falling in step as they walk side by side.

Just outside our doors is a world of rhythm and cadence, an orchestra in which water moves in waves, leaves unfold in spring and crickets chirp in sync on warm summer nights.
That the chirping seems to exist in tempo is no accident. It happens that way for the same reason two people walking side by side quickly fall into step. “Rhythm is the most natural thing in the world,” said Patrick Suppes, Lucie Stern Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, at Stanford University. “Everything biological has rhythm — and so does the brain.”
Suppes and other researchers are now working to study some of those brain rhythms as part of a growing interdisciplinary field called “brainwave entrainment.” Recent evidence has shown that if people listen attentively to a rhythmic stimulus, such as tribal drumming, mantra chanting or repetitive prayer, gradually their brain waves will begin to pulse in time with the tempo. The hypothesis is that this response, which spreads from the auditory cortex to other parts of the brain, can cause changes in mood, arousal and attention.
The rhythms, chants and prayers used in many religious ceremonies “can change brain wave states, reducing the symptoms of such things as attention deficit disorder, depression and mood disorders,” said Gabe Turow, a visiting scholar at Stanford who recently organized a symposium on brainwave entrainment at the university’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics. “It’s almost an evolutionary argument for why these practices developed and remain — because they keep everybody sane.”
Neurological conditions, like all other things biological, have certain characteristic tempos. Those who suffer from ADD, for example, display an unusual amount of slow brain waves in the frontal cortex, the part of the brain most linked to behavior, personality and motor function. Depression and anxiety have their own brain wave signatures — patterns and frequencies that researchers can discover using electroencephalographs, or EEGs, which measure electrical impulses. By slowing down or speeding up brain wave activity, scientists such as Harold Russell, a clinical psychologist and adjunct research professor in the department of gerontology and health promotion at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, believe they can systematically alter these mental states and improve brain functioning.
In one experiment, Russell altered the brain rhythms of elementary and middle school boys with ADD by having them wear special eyeglasses and headphones that administered rhythmic light and sound stimulation. After only two months of 20-minute treatment sessions five days a week, the children demonstrated a significant and lasting ability for greater concentration — in much the same way they might have had they been taking medications such as Ritalin or Adderall. They also performed better on IQ tests and showed a reduction in behavioral problems when compared with a control group.
In another experiment, Thomas Budzynski, an affiliate professor of psychology at the University of Washington, found that rhythmic light and sound stimulation increased blood flow throughout the brains of elderly subjects, improving their cognitive functioning.
While such studies show that a combination of visual and auditory stimulation produces the greatest effect on brain activity, sound alone can do the trick. “The fact that we can do this using music is an interesting prospect,” said Turow. “If things are happening the way we think they are on a mechanistic level, based on what we know from lab research and ethnographic observations of religious practices, it gives us more reasons to become interested in things like [rhythmic] prayer — even if it’s not for spiritual reasons, even if you don’t feel you’re connecting with God — because there are some really good side effects on mental health, on maintaining mental stability.” In much the same way that fast beats appear to encourage more alert and focused thinking, slower beats, such as those found in many prayers and mantras, seem to encourage the slow brain waves that are associated with meditation, relaxation and strong emotional responses.
For Suppes, who studies brain waves and language cognition, “the research thus far is lacking definitive proof of how the brain represents music. But we know it’s behaviorally successful, and I’m optimistic there’ll be much more progress.”

IT WAS OVER 6 YEARS AGO TODAY THE BISHOPS LOST THEIR SON TO VLT'S!!!
I might have the number wrong.
It was sad! 
Their son shot himself in his early 20s after being addicted to the VLT'S! It was the death of their son that really attracted the attention of New Brunswickers about the issue of VLT'S!!!
If the Bishops reads this blog? Maybe they can leave a comment?
My sympathy to the Bishops on this sad day!
Flying in the danger zone in Saint John!!!!!
Someone is going to get killed but we warned them in advance so therefore the City could be sued!!!!
A TRAGEDY WAS AVERTED ON NEW BRUNSWICK DAY!!!!!
Yes, a tragedy was averted during New Brunswick at the Mansion of the Lieutenant Governor yesterday.
In the skies came huge black clouds. Around 20 ambulances arrive on the scene waiting to make their move.
If a downpour came? A tragedy would be in the making.
The place was full of snobby bureaucrats. Around 400 of them.
These people always walk with his nose up in the air. Can you imagine hundreds of snobby bureaucrats running because of a downpour?
Ever tried running with your nose up in the air???
People would be all over the ground with broken nose and arms. It would be awful. It didn’t rain so a tragedy was avoided...lol....
Ok...This is just a made believe tale from a blogger who has way too time on his hands.....lol...
THE IRVINGS PRIDE AND JOY IN FREDERICTON!!!
Didn't Mary Keith tell the media last week and the Irvings were working on the old railroad station in Fredericton??? Please correct me if I'm wrong on this one??
I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS STAGE BY THE ABORTION CLINIC????
I was told that this was all a set up for the media. She didn't happen to walk by the protest by the anti-abortionists. Does anyone know here???
RETAILER IN ST.GEORGE GIVES THUMBS DOWN TO REGULATION!!!

RENTALMANS TELLS MIKE - SORRY BUDDY!! THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO!!! HE FORCED TO LIVE IN THE FREDERICTON EMERGENCY SHELTER!!!
I bumped into Mike this evening. Mike is the guy who got evicted from 114 Brunswick Street by Maurice. 
When I walked by the day he was forced to move. I chatted with his buddy < in the picture > but he was in a hurry so I didn’t hear all the details.
Mike was nowhere to be seen until today.
He told me that he and his buddy Wally sat in the backyard for a couple of drinks last Saturday evening.
Maurice went on a tirade. Once Mike got inside the building Maurice shouted at him.
Nothing was said afterwards until he returned from work on Tuesday evening.
Maurice left a note at the door outside of the building saying that he was evicted and he should return to the house on Saturday to gather his stuff.
His medications, his clothes and smokes were inside.
Mike is not on welfare. He works for a living!!!!
Maurice went into Mike’s room and locked the window.
Maurice shouldn’t be allowed in a tenant’s room!
Mike is an easy going guy and he doesn’t look for trouble.
He was instantly homeless!!!!
RIGHT ON THE STREETS AND NOWHERE TO TURN!!!!
The next morning, he got the courage to call the Rentalman but they told him that there was nothing they could do.
He couldn’t call the Police because he knew from my experience they would just suggest that he goes to the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission.
The Commission will announce in a few weeks that the poor can be treated like animals so stay tune.
Mike is living with a friend and will move in the shelter in a few days. 
Yes, this is indeed a sad story and I said it before and I will say it again!!!
What the hell is going on around the province with boarders and roomers that we don’t know of???
Very scary question?
These people must be going through sexual and mental abuse but what can you do when you have a bunch of bureaucrats in Fredericton that don’t care for the poor of New Brunswick????
I believe that the poor should gather up together and tent in front of the Legislature or the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission!!!!
Why wait to die on the streets? Why not die for something you believe in?
