The Facts of Your Situation
Some mesothelioma patients know they worked around asbestos, but many do not know how they were exposed or how often. In fact, many people are not sure if they were ever near this carcinogen. Unfortunately, there have been thousands of products that contained asbestos – cigarette filters, hair dryers, brakes, basement and roof materials, pipes, boilers, insulation, and many other products found throughout the home and at work. If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma it is more than likely that you were exposed to asbestos multiple times in your life and that this happened decades before your diagnosis. get help at http://mesotheliomatopattorneys.com
How is Asbestos and Mesothelioma Linked
Posted by admin on Jan 20, 2011
Persistent diseases like lung cancer and mesothelioma was extremely common in construction workers who were exposed to asbestos fibers or dust, doctors began making a connection between asbestos and mesothelioma. Shipping, construction and other workers, who were exposed to asbestos from the 1950s to the 1970s, when the dangers of asbestos was being recognized, are still suffering from the ill effects of asbestos exposure at work. More and more cases of people working under asbestos were infected with mesothelioma. So, Asbestos was considered a cause of mesothelioma. Various laws and regulations are in place, which is designed to prevent workers from exposure to toxic asbestos.
Workers who may have been exposed to asbestos in the 1970s, they are showing the symptoms of mesothelioma now. The reason behind this is that mesothelioma is slow to manifest. Mesothelioma cannot be diagnosed during its early stages. Because its symptoms take too long to manifest and it is often mistaken with those of other diseases, mesothelioma can be mistaken as pneumonia or other diseases during its early stages. The symptoms of mesothelioma include shortness of breath, abdominal swelling, chest pain, chronic cough, fever, weight loss, etc.
Different laws and regulations have limited the use of asbestos; mesothelioma takes a long period to develop means that it still has a large number of probable victims. Professions with the risk for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma are those which involved repeated exposure to asbestos in its industrial forms. These professions could be electricians, construction workers, bricklayers, mechanics, insulators and people involved with commercial or home construction before the 1970s.The families of these workers or people were also at risk, since they may have inhaled asbestos through the employee’s clothing or hair.
As more and people are getting aware of mesothelioma and asbestos there has been a significant amount of increase in lawsuits against companies who irresponsibly used asbestos, exposing their employees to the threat of mesothelioma and other life-threatening asbestos-related illnesses. If you were exposed to asbestos at any period of time you can get yourself diagnosed for mesothelioma. A mesothelioma sufferer or his family can contact an Asbestos Attorney who is experienced in mesothelioma litigation. A mesothelioma lawyer will help the person recover damages for the pain and suffering incurred through asbestos exposure.

Should I consult a lawyer or wait for OSHA?
Posted by admin on Dec 24, 2010
I discovered that the air handling system at work was shut off because was in an area that contained known carcinogens(asbestos and mold). My coworkers and I have had health problems and I believe it is because the overhead fans in the kitchen have been drawing air from this hazardous area. I contacted OSHA and they told me to file a workman’s compensation claim. Of course the company is now scrambling to cover all the violations. Should I get an attorney or wait for OSHA to come and access the situation?
It wouldn’t hurt to call around and see if you could find an attorney who could do a free consult. But from now on I would document everything. I would try to remember the days you had problems regarding your health. Write down descriptions of your work environment too. Ask your co-workers to do the same. This will help you with your case. And you could just call OSHA and ask general questions and see what they suggest. I hope this works in your favor.

We really need help with our landlords and don’t know what to do!?
Posted by admin on Oct 4, 2010
We have sone serious issues with our landlords and tonight was the final straw when one of them screamed and yelled at me calling me a "f-ing fat stupid white trash hippy piece of sh#t. They have hired contractors who have deficated in our yard, called a neighber a f@ggot; illegally disposed of asbestos by dumping it in our yard (we called the EPA for that one); put holes in our walls, floors and ceilings; let the dogs in the building out; left our bakdoor open numerous times; come in while I’m in the shower; have never givenus notice let alonw 24 hrs notice; let a gas leak go unattended for 2 wks until the fire department had to come out; cut through our pipes so that we have been without cold water, hot water or either for as much as 3 days; people have gone through our things and we don’t have any heat! I have contacted Community Housing and attorneys (as have the other 8 tenants in the building) but we always get different answers. Can someone please help us?
I have contacted the Health Department (they did an inspection on Monday) as well as Tom Martino, all the local news stations, the State Housing Authority, Denver Housing Authority, Jeffco Action Center and many others. My neigbors follow up on any calls that I have made as do I on theirs, but we don’t seem to be getting anywhere… the landlords get fined and then continue doing what they are doing. This is apparently normal for them as 1 has 3 different assault charges against him filed by tenants in another building and a partner of theirs was sued for failing to maintain a liveable building. I just wish they would go away (this is the 3rd landlord in 2.5 yrs and one neighbor has been here for 18 years and 14 landlards) but these 2 seem like they are going to be here for a long time.
Find a new place and MOVE.. Good God, how much more are you going to put up with?! Get your neighbors to go in on a class action suit against them with the same attorney. These people are SLUMLORDS and need to be fined and prosecuted as well as sued and their building shut down! Take all pictures of the place noting and detailing all things wrong. When and who did it if possible. Call the Board of Health, and Building Inspectors in your city or town. Have them document all as well and get signed papers from them..Then go to Court..But look for another place ASAP. Gas leak! You could be blown from here to kingdom come! Hope this helps a bit.. Good Luck
What are your thoughts on the meaning of Build God, Then We’ll Talk Lyrics?
Posted by admin on Oct 1, 2010
Lyrics:
It’s these substandard motels on the (lalalalala) corner of 4th and Fremont Street.
Appealing only because they are just that un-appealing
Any practiced catholic would cross themselves upon entering.
The rooms have a hint of asbestos and maybe just a dash of formaldehyde,
And the habit of decomposing right before your very (lalalala) eyes.
Along with the people inside
What a wonderful charicature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful charicature of intimacy
Tonight tenants range from: a lawyer and a virgin
Accessorizing with a rosary tucked inside her lingerie
She’s getting a job at the firm come Monday.
The Mrs. will stay with the cheating attorney
moonlighting aside, she really needs his money.
Oh, wonderful charicature of intimacy.
Yeah (Yeah)
And not to mention, the constable, and his proposition, for that "virgin"
Yes, the one the lawyer met with on "strictly business"
as he said to the Mrs. Well, only hours before,
after he had left, she was fixing her face in a compact.
There was a terrible crash (There was a terrible crash)
Between her and the badge
She spilled her purse and her bag, and held a "purse" of a different kind.
Along with the people inside
What a wonderful charicature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful charicature of intimacy
There are no raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses.
It’s sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It’s sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.
Inside, what a wonderful charicature of intimacy
Inside, what a wonderful charicature of intimacy
Raindrops on roses and girls in white dresses
It’s sleeping with roaches and taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.
Raindrops on roses and the girls in white dresses
And the sleeping with the roaches and the taking best guesses
At the shade of the sheets and before all the stains
And a few more of your least favorite things.
——————————————————————
Well, my thoughts are that she is either a prostitute or a woman looking to obtain a job by sleeping with the lawyer.
Purse of a different kind: I’ve heard that it was a client book, money from the lawyer,drugs, or that the lawyer got her pregnant,she got in a car accident(terrible crash) and broke her womb.
Your thoughts?
it’s the "virgin", a decent nice girl who is forced to sleep with the married attorney to get a job, and after that she gets "used" by the cop…
and I often thought about what the "purse of a different kind" is but couldn’t really figure out..-and the terrible crash isn’t mean literally I think, it’s more like a mental breakdown (because she regrets what she’s done?)
Obama Lied AGAIN said NO LOBBYIST in his administration?
Posted by admin on Sep 28, 2010
Again in his Wednesday night state of the union speech he reiterated that he "will not allow lobbyist in his administration"…oh really..check it out:
•Eric Holder, attorney general nominee, was registered to lobby until 2004 on behalf of clients including Global Crossing, a bankrupt telecommunications firm [now confirmed].
•Tom Vilsack, secretary of agriculture nominee, was registered to lobby as recently as last year on behalf of the National Education Association.
•William Lynn, deputy defense secretary nominee, was registered to lobby as recently as last year for defense contractor Raytheon, where he was a top executive.
•William Corr, deputy health and human services secretary nominee, was registered to lobby until last year for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, a non-profit that pushes to limit tobacco use.
•David Hayes, deputy interior secretary nominee, was registered to lobby until 2006 for clients, including the regional utility San Diego Gas & Electric.
•Mark Patterson, chief of staff to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, was registered to lobby as recently as last year for financial giant Goldman Sachs.
•Ron Klain, chief of staff to Vice President Joe Biden, was registered to lobby until 2005 for clients, including the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution, U.S. Airways, Airborne Express and drug-maker ImClone.
•Mona Sutphen, deputy White House chief of staff, was registered to lobby for clients, including Angliss International in 2003.
•Melody Barnes, domestic policy council director, lobbied in 2003 and 2004 for liberal advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the American Constitution Society and the Center for Reproductive Rights.
•Cecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, was a lobbyist as recently as last year for the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group.
•Patrick Gaspard, White House political affairs director, was a lobbyist for the Service Employees International Union.
•Michael Strautmanis, chief of staff to the president’s assistant for intergovernmental relations, lobbied for the American Association of Justice from 2001 until 2005.
Actually what Obama said was worse – He said that no lobbyist holds any ‘decision-making’ position in his administration which of course is just a flat out blunder of a lie.
Are The Markets Weak Because the Candidates Are Lousy?
Posted by admin on Sep 26, 2010
- Have you thought of what a gradual doubling (and indexation) of the minimum wage, sailing through a veto-proof and filibuster-proof Congress, would do to inflation, unemployment and corporate profits? The market now has.
- Have you thought of how easily a Labor Department headed by a militant union boss would push through a "Transparency in Labor Relations" law that does away with secret ballots in strike votes, and what this would do to industrial peace? The market now has.
- Have you thought of how a Treasury Secretary George Soros would engineer the double taxation of the multinationals’ world-wide profits, and what this would mean for investors (to say nothing of full-scale industrial flight from the U.S.)? The market now has.
- Have you thought of how an Attorney General Charles J. Ogletree would champion a trillion-dollar reparations-for-slavery project (whittled down, to be fair, to a mere $800-billion, over-10-years compromise), and what this would do to the economy? The market now has.
- Have you thought of what the virtual outlawing of arbitration — exposing all industries to the fate of asbestos producers — would do to corporate liability and legal bills? The market now has.
- Have you thought of how a Health and Human Services Secretary Hillary Clinton would fix drug prices (generously allowing 10% over the cost of raw materials), and what this would do to the financial health of the pharmaceutical industry (not to mention the nondiscovery of lifesaving drugs)? The market now has.
- Have you thought of a Secretary of the newly established Department of Equal Opportunity for Women mandating "comparable worth" pay practices for every company doing any business with government at any level — where any residual gap between the average pay of men and women is an eo ipso violation? Have you thought about what this would do to administrative and legal costs, hiring practices, productivity and wage bills? The market now has.
- Have you thought of what confiscatory "windfall profits" taxes on oil companies would do to exploration, supply and prices? The market now has.
- Have you thought of how the nationalization of health insurance, the mandated coverage of ever more — and more exotic — risks, the forced reimbursement for excluded events, and the diminished freedom to match premium to risk would affect the insurance industry? The market now has.
- Have you thought of Energy Czar Al Gore’s five million new green jobs — high-paying, unionized and subsidized — to replace, at five times the cost, what we are now producing without those five million workers, and what this will do to our productivity, deficit and competitiveness? The market now has.
I could go on, but you get the point. Nothing reveals Mr. Obama’s visceral hostility to business more than the constant urging of our best and brightest to desert the productive private sector ("greed") and go into public service like politics or community organizing (i.e., organizing people to press government for more handouts). Who in his ideal world would bake our bread, make our shoes and computers, and pilot our airplanes is not clear.
…
The silver lining in all this is that the market has already "discounted" an Obama win, so if that happens you won’t wake up on Nov. 5 to find your remaining savings down the drain. If the unexpected happens, you may be in for a pleasant surprise."
With Obama as president, the most unpopular Congress in over a century will surely have its way and turn our country into a socialistic mess we will not like. I hope you will join me in rejecting that kind of change
No. The markets are weak because the government is messing with the economy. If they left it alone it would correct itself.
