Our sincerest apologies go out to our readers at this time. We are much behind in posting due to tryin to get the full website platform up to it’s fullest potential, in addition we have other sites as well that are being updated in their programming.
We spread ourselves too thin and within the next month or so we should be running 100%, however that will be about the time we will be moving. But at this time we are doing what we can to set up our vision. You will be seeing some big changes. I once read before off a poster from Successories;
V I S I O N
A vision without a task is but a dream.
A task without a vision is drudgery;
A vision without a task is the hope of the world
That poster actually hangs on my wall, as does one other of their posters;
A T T I T U D E
Winners surround themselves with winners.
In our capacity of wanting to help the homeless the abused the addicted and the victims of disasters, it is our vision to make winners out of all that we come in contact with.

As I always say: “It’s the first time you don’t want to experience when it comes to something bad happening to you in your life.” This is true. Think of a housefire, It’s the first one you don’t want to experience. An earthquake, a hurricane etc etc.
It is the first time you don’t want to experience. Now it’s not the actual; disaster itself you should be thinking about because that you can’t help, if it’s a natural disaster that is. So it’s not the disaster it’s the part of NOT being prepared that you don’t want to experience. Imagine for a moment your town or region of the country, get’s hit with a Blizzard, and you experience a power outage but yet you don’t have any batteries for your flashlight, or a generator that can run a small heater and light and tv. Or perhaps you take a road trip but yet you don’t have a spare or a jack or flares or a blanket etc.
Being Disaster Prepared means to be Prepared for anything. As the American Red Cross Says; Be Red Cross Ready.

Here we are again getting pounded by snow. Thick, heavy, wet, SNOW. If I was younger I would of been out there in a snow ball fight, maybe even building an igloo. When I was a kid growing up on 47th Street in Pennsauken, New Jersey, we got snow like this all the time. Always a foot here and a foot there.
Bear with me over these next two paraghaphs as I know the owners, it is good info and I recommend
I was taking a walk today out speaking with some of the residents of Merchantville, New Jersey. I started off at my buddy Sammy’s pizza shop. Sammy and his wife are good people. I actually met Sammy year’s ago, just ran into him one night at old friends pizza shop in Philadelphia. If your ever in Philly, you gotta check it out. My old friend Ronny knows what he is doing. He’s a very intelligent business owner that puts out a great product at a fair and reasonable price. His place is called Little Sicily II on Columbus Blvd, in the WAWA plaza next to PENN-dot. (Phone 215-465-8787 Click Here for address, map and directions)
Now back to Buzzy’s Pizza of Merchantville, NJ (Phone 856-662-2222 Click Herefor address, map and directions) Good food, good prices and they the lottery as well. Anyway I went in and saw Sammy sitting there watching some TV and soon as I brought up this snow, Sammy spoke up and we started speaking about the economy. He was saying that these times are hard enough for small business owners but then coupled with this Nor’easter Snow Storm that is pounding us, well it is just leaving local businesses, Out In The Cold. Now don’t misunderstand Buzzy’s Famous Pizza does quite well for an independent shop. Sammy is very fortunate and has a great customer base with an extreme high percentage of repeat business. They are friendly, they get to know their customers by their first name and remember their favorites.
All businesses in this region are hurting right now. This region of the U.S. pays one of the highest price per square foot rates in the country. New Jersey is amongst the TOP most expensive states to live in and to operate a business in.
Anyway I am way off my topic, let me get back. (happens all the time)
So I first ran into Angel, who was shoveling away. He had the right idea, although it wasn’t done snowing, he was shoveling. This way it isn’t as hard as when you wait until the end, especially when the snow is as wet as it is today. I was speaking to Angel and I asked him what his thoughts was about the homelessness situation in America. He has along the same thoughts as me. Angel stated that the government needs to take a more active role in this crisis. He further stated that; “The government is only helping out the wealthy. For instance the big bank bailout that is now giving their executives multi-million dollar bonuses.”
How does something like this happen? How is it "We The People" lend our tax dollars to a huge conglomerate which happens to be a bank, in fact, the Bank of America. Now from what I understand they bought some company, Merrill Lynch, for $50 Billion Dollars. Now Bank of America allegedly didn’t investigate the deal properly nor did they disclose the financial situation of Merrill Lynch to BOA shareholders. The shareholders of BOA filed a lawsuit against BOA stating what had occurred. Now Merrill Lynch had just taken a 4thquarter loss of $15+ Billion dollars, but they were being bailed out and bought out by Bank of America for as I stated previously $50 Billion Dollars. Now right before that deal closed, Merrill Lynch executives were paid bonuses estimated to be worth $3 to $4 Billion just 3 days prior to sale.
Now Bank of America had to go to the government and get a loan for $20 Billion Dollars to help absorb the 4thquarter $15.31 Billion Dollar loss that Merrill got hit with.
So let’s put this in perspective. Bank of America bought a company for $50 Billion that just lost $15 Billion and during which they paid their executives $4 Billion meanwhile BOA doesn’t disclose to it’s shareholders but then runs to the government for a loan of $20 Billion.
All this time and there are people sleeping in cardboard boxes and living in sewers and under bridges.
Let’s put the icing on the cake. BOA pays back the loan, jacks up the fees on all their customers credit cards (the same taxpayers that lent them their bailout money) then or should I say now they are paying their execs Billions of dollars as well. Let’s give a big thank you to our government for looking out for us. Oh yea and all the people in the refrigerator boxes.
The government may have Social Services in all the states, but I will tell you right here from experiencethay are so mismanaged it is pitiful. We could hire top level execs to manage the Board of Social Services and pay them the million dollars a year each and our system will not only run better and more efficient., but it’s budget would lower while helping twice as many people. These state workers in those jobs are a joke. The managers have no business experience and don’t even have a clue how to even keep a database of vendor’s updated let alone setting up a budget and training.
Seems as though I went off on a tangent again. I get so sick to my stomach when I think about how are government offices are being run. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the government anyway, I don’t believe in it, I believe in God. We get ONE vote and my vote goes to my Father in heaven. God set up these offices of government in the days of old and He used to fill them with personnel back then as well. But He hasn’t done so since 570 B.C.Prior to that there was one time God let the people choose and that was with King Samuel. God warned that he was not the chosen and they even knew through the oil test, but they wanted to have it their way and God let them. It is like the thing with satan, he gave him the world for 6,000 years to prove he (satan) can do better, but as we see, he couldn’t. Satan’s time is almost up, soon we will have God’s Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Down the road a bit I ran into a nice young gentleman by the name of John. A refined and sophisticated man, you can tell he is an educated person. John was out there shoveling away his driveway and he said to me: " I have never seen anything like this before in my life." That is when I knew he was young because, as I explained to him, when I was a child it snowed like that all the time. I as a child even witnessed snow before thanksgiving day. We used to build igloos on the front lawn. We had a plastic mold to put the snow in to make a snow cinder block. Pretty cool. Now that I think back, I miss my Big Wheel too. I mentioned to John my thought of the changing seasons. Which is: I think that if the Earth was going to last for a while longer that someday winter will be in August and perhaps it will snow. John laughed and he said : "Yeah you know that Global Warming thing…." That’s when he gave me a laugh, we were in a blizzard, talking about snow and he, the educated guy, brings up Global Warming. LOL
I got into town and I was snapping off some pictures of the dollhouse in the center of town. I call it the dollhouse but really it is a storage shed that keep different tools and supplies in for the winter season. So walking by me was a guy by the name of Kevin. The best conversationalist of everyone this day. He had lot’s of thought on the homeless situation in America. We spoke for some time and went into speaking of the different Social Services Agencies and their workers. HE is a nice demeanor and I think he was holding back a bit when we spoke of the workers, but he brought up just as they do, “their caseload.” We both agreed however that it depends on a worker’s mood that day on whether or not you get any help out of them. The way I see it if they actually had management and I mean true management that would evaluate their performance’s and train them to be better and more efficient and also started firing some, then perhaps they would get it together and quit taking a 15 to 20 minute break after each case they sign up and perhaps they would start paying attention to the applicant’s so that they are better able to determine their needs.
I, as you know, I don’t like government workers, mostly state until I got a Social Security Determination Adjudicator by the name of Mary. She was the nastiest person I have ever spoke with in my life, from our very first phone call. I must have spoke to her a dozen times and out of which there was maybe three times I was able to actually talk to her and she was okay. I remember the second time that we were conversing in a humane manor, I straight up asked her why she was so nasty to me from jump. She blamed it on her case load. They all do. They knew when they went to college for social working that the pay was mediocre and the case loads were intolerable. So if they weren’t going to be happy with their job, then why not do something else? God didn’t say: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, unless, you have a high case load." I know for a fact that he didn’t say that.
Well I didn’t say much of anything but I do want to say that it is nice to get out and talk to the neighborhood from time to time.
May God bless you.

That’s right, you are reading that title correct. A little bit of snow and the whole state shuts down. All the stores, malls and transportation brought to a SSCCCRRREEEAAAMMMMIIINNNGGG HALT!!
I couldn’t understand, I was out in that wonderful, fresh, crisp, clean air all day. I didn’t want to have to come back into the house. I was out in the neighborhoods visiting local business and neighbors and waiting for a bus to take me to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When I woke in the morning and saw all that snow that was on the groung as well as what was still falling from heaven, my mind went into overdrive. All I could think bout was all the poor homeless people that were probably stuck in the freezing cold. Shelters can only house so many and there are only so many shelters. With a shelter it is first come, first served. They are just like any other business , they have an Occupancy Rating from the Fire Department. They cannot go over that limit.

That’s right the Associated Press has reported that amongst the major concerns, the lack of latrines has entered the top three. The need for water and food for over one million homeless has been there since the earthquake first hit. Now over two weeks into this ordeal a new threat has developed and that is the lack of toilets. At present there are on average one latrine per 2000 people.
The homeless has crowded into the capital city of Port-Au-Prince leaving no empty spaces and no place to dig for latrines. Unicef is on site and trying to coordinate water and sanitation. As of Saturday they are digging latrines for approxiamately 20,000 people. They are expecting about 1,100 squatting platforms for the camps in which they will be partitioned off with sheets of plastic for some privacy.
In taking a walk in downtown Merchantville, NJ today I found that the big corporations have in place a relief effort for Haiti. Town Center has many small businesses and four major national corporations. In checking with three of those four major corporations I found that two of them have put forth some effort to aiding the Haiti Earthquake victims and the emergency response teams which come from several countries around the world.
Information on the Orange County Probation Approved Alcohol Treatment Options
Alcoholism is considered as being a disease that includes alcohol craving and continued drinking, even possibly despite repeated alcohol related problems. These problems could include anything from losing a job to getting into a fight with a loved one because of their drinking.
Alcoholism can create a number of personal and professional problems in a person's life and the worst part is that the person often gets stuck in an awful cycle and cannot find their way out of it. Then the problems in their life continue to worsen and so does their alcohol dependency.
As of right now, you will find that there is nothing that will cure your problems. You will find that this disorder will be managed through various treatments, but you can never get rid of the disorder. Many people are on treatments for long-term periods. This is basically because their disorder is from genetics and it is something that they have all their life. Many people develop the disorder through trauma, but they can make a full recovery within a few years. Once you end up getting a good diagnosis you’ll be able to face the disorder and get the right treatment.
You will find that this is a disabling medical condition. You will want to make sure that you get the appropriate treatment and you can do that by doing everything that your doctor recommends for you. You will want to get help because there are lots of people who find the disorder to be full of problems, however, with treatment you can have a full and satisfying life. You will find that you will be more likely to have periods of normalcy when you get medicated and join therapy. There are many things that you will be able to do to treat your bipolar. You will find that are things that you can do like watch what you eat and get plenty of sleep. You also want to make sure that you don’t smoke or take any drugs and alcohol because you may do some really awful things when you mix the two.
