This Message is Especially for Charles
"BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU,
BEFORE YOU WERE BORN I SET YOU APART."
( JEREMIAH 1:5 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
Do you ever feel far from God? Ever feel that He doesn't
know, or even care, that you exist? Well, God knows each
one of us intimately! For just as He told the Prophet Jeremiah
above, He also knew us and formed each one of us in the
womb as well!
The Prophet David knew this when he said, O LORD,
YOU HAVE SEARCHED ME AND YOU KNOW ME. YOU
KNOW WHEN I SIT AND WHEN I RISE; YOU PERCEIVE
MY THOUGHTS FROM AFAR. YOU DISCERN MY GOING
OUT AND MY LYING DOWN; YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH
ALL MY WAYS. BEFORE A WORD IS ON MY TONGUE
YOU KNOW IT COMPLETELY. ( PSALM 139:1-3 )
After all, YOU CREATED MY INMOST BEING; YOU KNIT
ME TOGETHER IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB. I PRAISE YOU
BECAUSE I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE
YOUR WORKS ARE WONDERFUL. ALL THE DAYS
ORDAINED FOR ME WERE WRITTEN IN YOUR BOOK
BEFORE ONE OF THEM CAME TO BE.
( PSALM 139:13,14 & 16 )
Yes indeed Charles, God knows us Intimately and
Loves each of us as well! SO WE KNOW AND RELY ON
THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR US. GOD IS LOVE. WHO-
EVER LIVES IN LOVE LIVES IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM.
( 1 JOHN 4:16 )
Therefore the next time that you feel far from God and
think that He doesn't know you exist, remember these
verses. For after all your Heavenly Father truly is your
closest living relative, and He Loves You very much indeed!
Amen!
With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

THE IRVING FUTURE SOLDIERS WILL GRADUATE AT SAINT THOMAS TOMORROW AT 2:00PM!!!!
Tomorrow will be the big party at Saint Thomas in
Fredericton.
I heard the young students from the Journalism course
are going to be in the group.
What’s interesting about these students is they have
been trained by the Irvings.
So? You finished taking a course finance by the
Irvings and they own all the newspapers in this
Province.
WHERE’S THE FINAL SENATE REPORT ON THE MONOPOLY OF
NEWSPAPERS IN THIS PROVINCE???? My god??? They’re
slow!!! Maybe former Irving lawyer Senator Joe Day is
lobbying for changes? Who truly knows???
Anyway...these young students had many guest speakers
in their classes and I guess it wasn’t all roses.
One of these guests was Jamie Irving himself!!!
I guess the students confronted Jamie of the monopoly
issue and he’s wasn’t a happy camper.
On a personal note? I always like Jamie. He’s a nice
kid. You wouldn’t have a single clue that you were
chatting with a Billionaire when you chat with the
kid.
As a matter of fact? I always had a good conversation
with the Irving family but all this came to a drastic
end once Management intervened.
Ok..never mid that? Where are these kids going to
work?
What’s going to happen tomorrow???
Before they hand over the diplomas?
Will they be force to dedicate their life and soul to
the Evil Irving and promise not to write critical
stories of the Irving Empire?
This is definitely not a funny situation!
The Irvings trained these students and if they get
fired or laid off?
They will have to leave the Province.
Very scary stuff!!! I’ll be there tomorrow with my
little camera. Stay tune...

ROGERS TELEVISION < old Germany > GETS THEIR ORDERS HERE FROM ONTARIO???
Rogers Television < old Germany > invites the politicians in this building but are denying New Brunswickers the right to call and asks questions!
One shameful act is this idiotic kid Crosby.
He gaves his staright forward views on any issues and the public are not allowed to call in to counter his opinions.
I might add that he also promotes the Irvings newspapers!
Yes, it's old Germany all over again.

I found this story a little funny.
A couple of months ago, this guy told me a story that I should blogged.
It was a good one and it could have gone in the media?
I was all ready to blog the story then suddenly I received an email from this guy.
He wrote after telling a few friends that he told me the story and I was going to blog it.
Someone called the guy and politely asked him if he would email me asking me not to blog the issue?
It was funny!
I got the email and I replied - Well? Lets negotiate here for a minute. I would say that a nice cold 24 of beers would be great???...lol....
I backed off and he came to the kitchen to thank me! Without the beers of course....lol...
I believe this blog is getting a lot of attention and God knows what issues I will blog.
I’m in the Capital there I’m right in the middle of the action.
I was somewhere last week and I witnessed a huge confrontation in the Capital.
These people are well known and once again?
I was politely asked to turn the other cheek!!!!
It’s getting pretty difficult to back off from a good blog but I do understand that I don’t wish to burn too many bridges because I have burn enough already!...lol...

PRAISE THE LORD. HOW GOOD IT IS TO SING PRAISES
TO OUR GOD, HOW PLEASANT AND FITTING TO PRAISE
HIM.
( PSALM 147:1 *NIV )
Dear Charles,
Why not attend the Church of your choice today, where
you may join with others as they praise our Heavenly Father.
After all, just think of all the blessings He has given to
you, including His Love and saving Grace! So; LET US GIVE
THANKS TO THE LORD FOR HIS UNFAILING LOVE AND
HIS WONDERFUL DEEDS FOR MEN. ( PSALM 107:8 )
King David best described this, for in a Psalm he gave to
Asaph, for he wrote; SING TO THE LORD, ALL THE
EARTH; PROCLAIM HIS SALVATION DAY AFTER DAY.
DECLARE HIS GLORY AMONG THE NATIONS, HIS
MARVELOUS DEEDS AMONG ALL PEOPLES. FOR
GREAT IS THE LORD AND MOST WORTHY OF PRAISE;
HE IS TO BE FEARED [revered} ABOVE ALL gods.
ASCRIBE TO THE LORD THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME.
BRING AN OFFERING AND COME BEFORE HIM; WORSHIP
THE LORD IN THE SPLENDOR OF HIS HOLINESS.
( 1 CHRONICLES 16:23-25 & 29 )
So Charles, why not worship the Lord in the splendor of His
Holiness by attending your Church today. There you may;
GREET ONE ANOTHER WITH A HOLY KISS. For; THE
CHURCHES OF CHRIST GREET YOU. Amen!
( ROMANS 16:16 )
With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

STEVE HOWE DEATH CAN BE CONNECTED TO RITALIN!!!!
I always like this guy......it's too bad that he was force on Ritalin when he was a child.

From Ritalin to Cocaine
Steve Howe's Untold Story
By FRED GARDNER
Steve Howe died at 48 when his pick-up truck rolled over in the wee small hours of April 28 in Coachella, California. Riverside County authorities said he was doing 70 mph. They even drug-tested him in death. The autopsy was inconclusive but the toxicology report has been sent to a lab for analysis and one day this summer we'll hear or read a brief item to the effect that Steve Howe, once the best relief pitcher in baseball, rookie of the year when he came up with the Dodgers in 1980, did or didn't have an illegal metabolite in his system.
I liked Steve Howe a lot. I interviewed him and then hung out with him in 1986, when he was pitching for the San Jose Bees, a motley collection of rehabbing ex-major leaguers (including Mike Norris, Ken Reitz, and Derrel Sconiers), four Japanese prospects who spoke almost no English, and ordinary D-league professional baseball players.
Howe grew up in Pontiac, Michigan and his social group was "pretty tough guys." He told me he didn't do drugs or alcohol as a teenager, although all his friends did. He laid off because he thought pot might take the edge off his athletic skills (he knew he was great) and alcohol reminded him of his dad, whom he did not admire.
He first did coke one night in New York City after pitching against the Mets. A woman offered him a hit and thought it might be okay for him because "it reminded me of all the Ritalin I'd done as a kid. I said, "But you just said you didn't do drugs or alcohol as a kid." He repeated that he hadn't. Ritalin, in his view, was "medication" because it had been administered by a school nurse and prescribed by a physician!
Ritalin is the brand name for methylphenidate HCl, a form of speed designed by chemists to be just different enough from amphetamine for exclusive licensing by Ciba-Geigy, the drug company now known as Novartis.
Ritalin use had flattened in the late 1970s after Peter Schrag and Diane Divoky published their brilliant expose, The Myth of the Hyperactive Child; but by the mid-1980s it was being pushed successfully in the schools, its use justified by a pharmacological falsehood, i.e., that it had a "paradoxical effect" on the young, calming them down.
In fact Ritalin has the classic effect of speed --riveting one's attention on whatever is directly in front of one's face, and causing all the expected side-effects, such as sleeplessness, loss of appetite and increasing jitters as it wears off.
Ritalin and similar stimulants are now prescribed daily for five million American kids.
After hearing Howe's story, I went to the UCSF library and looked in vain for a study correlating Ritalin use in childhood and cocaine use in adulthood.
I contacted a UC Berkeley psychology professor, Nadine Lambert, who had begun looking into it.
She shared her preliminary findings in what would become a 30-year longitudinal study: Ritalin use seems to predispose for stimulant use down the road.
It's just common sense: give a kid a "medicine," the effects of which are supposedly good for them, then take it away at age 16, and of course a certain number are going to try to reproduce those familiar "positive" effects.
Lambert got the picture: Ritalin is a quick fix used with the consent of overwhelmed parents and for the benefit of overwhelmed teachers.
Attention does more for kids with "attention deficit disorder" than does Ritalin.
As this is going to press Saturday, May 6, the San Francisco Chronicle arrives with Nadine Lambert's obituary. Lambert "died when her car was struck by a dump truck near campus... Lambert was instrumental in advocating the view that school psychologists should work with teachers to improve the classroom environment to help children succeed, a more successful intervention than simply pulling students out of class for testing or counseling because the number of school psychologists is so limited.
"Professor Lambert also published a controversial study in 1999 showing that children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder who were treated with stimulant drugs such as Ritalin were more likely to smoke cigarettes earlier and more heavily and were more likely as adults to abuse cocaine. Her findings -based on a 30-year study of 492 children, half of whom had ADHD- raised questions about the risks of Ritalin and similar drugs."
When I met him in '86 Howe had just moved to Whitefish, Montana, which he thought would be a great place to raise a family. The local Drug Warriors insulted him in 1999 when he offered to be one of the four coaches on his daughter's school softball team and the Whitefish Superintendent of Schools, a man named Dan Peters, turned him down. Howe said at the time, "I'm kind of dumbfounded by the whole thing. Right now a lot of damage is being done to these kids and to the program. And for what reason? I don't know." Howe appealed to the County Superintendent to overrule Peters' ban. The County Superintendent ruled that she didn't have jurisdiction because the appeal wasn't filed with her office within 30 days of the original dis. Howe and the Whitefish Softball Association (the other parents) appealed to the State Superintendent who affirmed that the original appeal had not been filed on time.
So Whitefish wasn't such a great place, after all. At the time of his death, according to his obit, Howe was living in Valencia, California. He was driving home from a business trip to Arizona. The business involved making and marketing "an all-natural high-energy soft drink." A drink he himself could have endorsed.
When Howe was telling me the story of how he first came to use cocaine on a sun-baked diamond in San Jose 20 summers ago, his lawyer was standing by, smoking a cigar. At a key point the lawyer cut in with a commentary: "Okay, you're a kid in New York alone, you've just won the big game, you're a hero, but you're alone in a hotel room with nothing to do but read Schopenhauer. A beautiful woman calls and says, 'Come fuck my brains out.' What would you rather do--you're a kid in New York--go fuck a beautiful woman or stay home alone and read Schopenhauer?"
