Fewer and fewer are supporting it, and this site does not either. Get a new browser! My friend Barry and I made our second pilgrimage to see Kathy Griffin. Admittedly, we’ve slid down the glamour scale from having seen her in New York to bottoming out at Casino Rama, including the near two-hour drive with bad traffic. Usually when I hear something funny, most of it sticks and I can recite it to friends. It’s a bit of an idiot savant thing, I guess having no memory and only a few functioning brain cells, I could be called a comic savant. However,  each time I’ve seen Kathy Griffin, I’ve pissed myself laughing and I can barely remember what it was all about at afterwards. She kept everyone going for almost two ... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2752108 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:44:15 +0100 2752108 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2570430&cid=t_206224_87_f&fid=34872&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blisstree.com%2Fhealthbolt%2Fcasino-workers-and-second-hand-smoke%2F Despite all the smoking bans in place, there are still some places, such as casinos, where workers are still consistently exposed to second hand smoke. A new study, funded by the Flight Attendent Medical Institute, finds that casino workers face higher risks of heart disease and lung disease because a smoke filled work environment. In the study, the air quality in three Pennsylvania casinos was tested for levels of two indicators of tobacco smoke - cancer-causing chemicals and particles small enough to inhale.  At the same time, eight volunteers, each of whom spent four hours in the casinos, provided urine samples which were measured for levels of a tobacco smoke byproduct. Measuring the air quality revealed that the tobacco smoke indicators inside the casino was four to six times higher ...

Profits on risky ventures remain privatized, while losses become socialized. That is what happens when you bet with other people’s (that is, taxpayers’) money. I have called the system “casino capitalism.” The solution, of course, is to end the policy of “too big to fail.” That will not happen soon, however, and we will likely see the government’s safety net extended to more institutions before there is any prospect for its withdrawal. In the interim, the risk-taking appetite of the large banks must be co...

Online casinos have paved a way to an increasing numbers of poker players worldwide.   With the increased numbers of interested players, poker sites and online casinos are consequently spurting everywhere.  But only a few of them can be considered the “best ones”.    Good thing, online casino reviews like Online Casino Bluebook exists to give as the bests of us onlin...

Rennich says he has never smoked and blames the illness on his 25 year career on the gaming floors in the Tropicana. He had a third of his lung removed in September 2005.Vince Rennich claims they fired him for speaking out in favor of a smoking ban. The ban was originally written to ban smoking in all 11 casinos, but the council later compromised and lowered the ban to cover 75 percent of the gambling floor. The ban took place April 15.Rennich was fired a week after testifying before a state Senate committee about the risks of second hand smoke. His lawsuit claims that ...

Will he have the courage to stick his neck out all the way against a project with so much money involved? Only time will tell. How anyone can seriously argue that the development of a super casino is a good way to regenerate a deprived area is beyond me.In support of the rethink, and the report that has been commissioned to look at the social effects of gambling that is due in September, I have put together an 'Addiction Blogs' section on MedWorm.Here you can see the directory of addiction blogs I have included so far - if anyone knows of any more please let me know - in particular I am keen to find blogs by anyone experiencing/recovering from ad...
