It's a Cookbook
uploaded by ndlissummer at youtube.com
It's a cookbook! To Serve Man... yeah right. States sponsor gambling to collect revenue. They end up with higher taxes and more problems, like increased crime, addiction, drunk driving, child neglect and abuse, suicide, spousal abuse, foreclosures, bankruptcies, embezzlement, larceny, burglary, robbery, aggravated assault, underage gambling, rape, local business closings, lower property values. And yet... the casino investors, who almost always live out of State and sometimes out of the country, they keep telling the states without predatory gambling how they can "recapture" revenue going out of state to other casinos and slot parlors! But it's a cook book. Nothing is free. There are always costs. But to politicians with an agenda - it sounds so yummy they can't resist. Don't buy it. www.casinofreemass.org

Compulsive Gambling, Problem Gambling, Gambling Addiction
uploaded by prokopton at youtube.com
http://www.encognitive.com "Whether it's in a casino or online, poker and other games of chance are becoming increasingly popular. It's not just men who are addicted, a growing number of women are becoming compulsive gamblers, too. Early Show correspondent Hattie Kauffman takes a closer look at the troubling trend," news anchor. "The reality is the longer you gamble compulsively, which is what I was doing, the more you become a compulsive liar," Melanie Morgan, former gambling addict. "In the 1980s Melanie Morgan was a successful television anchor until her gambling addiction cost her, her job and nearly destroyed her marriage," Hattie Kauffman, CBS national correspondent. "I would lie about where I was going, what I was doing, who I was with, how much money I was spending," Melanie Morgan. "Even her pregnancy did not stop Melanie from gambling," Hattie Kauffman. "Of course I was in a terrible environment, smoke-filled rooms, hardly taking care of myself. I was gambling until an hour before I gave birth," Melanie Morgan. "After her son was born, she often left the infant with an assortment of babysitters," Kauffman. "I remember packing up the baby one day and driving around to each of the card rooms where I thought she might be and finally locating her and taking the baby in its carrier and putting the baby in the middle of the poker table and saying, 'You got a choice. You want to play cards or you want to be a Mom?'" Jack Morgan, Melanie's husband. "I knew at that point I was in desperate trouble and I knew I was sick, sick, and needed help. And I still didn't want to stop," Melanie Morgan. "You might think the opportunity to gamble non-stop would be limited to a trip to Las Vegas or Atlantic City, but the temptation is everywhere. Visit here in Phoenix and you'll be greeted with the Arizona Casino guide, listing 22 casinos, dog racing, horse racing, bingo and more," Kauffman. "I won $10,000 playing bingo. It just hooks you right in," former compulsive gambler. "Slot machines," another compulsive gambler. "Mine wasn't slots, it was draw poker," another compulsive gambler. "I sat down with three women in recovery from compulsive gambling: Shannon, Freda, and Vicki," "Do you have any idea how much you've lost to gambling?" Kauffman. "I've lost $300,000. It was all of my retirement money," Vicki. "I have thought it was around $35,000 but my husband has stated that it's around $50,000," Shannon. "It was around $115,000 to $200,000," Freda. "But Freda lost a lot more than that. She lost a year of her life when she went to prison after stealing cash to gamble," Kauffman. "The sick compulsive gambler will do whatever they have to do to gamble," Freda. "It makes me think about a drug addict who steals to get the drugs," Kauffman. "It's an addiction. It is an addiction," Freda. "Psychologist Paul Good says that it used to be women used to gamble to escape their every day life, but now more are being lured simply by the action," Kauffman. "A sense of excitement, of being on the edge. You are literally holding your fate in your own hands at a poker table. For a women, that could be a powerful riveting experience," Paul Good, psychologist. "Is it a high? Is it a euphoria?" Kauffman. "Oh yes. Oh yes it is. It's like a drug," Freda. "Especially when you hear the bells ringing," background voice. "According to the National Council on Problem Gambling, in the 1980s just a handful of women sought treatment for gambling addiction. Today, almost half of those seeking help for gambling addiction are female," Kauffman. "You are going to see gambling take its place alongside alcoholism and drug abuse as being one of the most significant addictions of our time," Paul Good, Psychologist. http://www.youtube.com/GamblingVideos http://www.gamblinghelper.com http;//www.gamblinghelper.com/forum

Will compulsive gamblers eventually turn to crime?
uploaded by karajeannine at youtube.com
Crime, in all the addictions we're talking about and in particular in gambling, is definitely an end point. It is definitely the default, the bottom line when all else fails and you've dug yourself a deep hole financially and there's no other option. That doesn't mean that there aren't certain people who grow up in environments where crime is more rampant, where it goes the other direction. But most people do not turn to crime to support their habit. But at some point, when you've dug yourself a deep enough hole and it looks really hard to get out, you're going to do whatever it takes to remedy it. People say they don't understand why they do this. It doesn't make any sense. They've lost all this money. That doesn't make sense. What they're implying is they're talking to the individual from the thinking standpoint. But what's happening is now no longer up here. It's down here in the heart. They're trying to make themselves feel good. It has nothing to do with the logic of thinking morally. It's not a thinking process at that point. It's all about more of an basic animal need to feel okay again. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com

Teen Gambling Problems - Youth Gambling Is Not A Game: Video
uploaded by rosaryfilms at youtube.com
Youth Gambling Is Not A Game 2: Teen Gambling Problems Video. "Teen Gambling: It's a Risky Deal". Courtesy of the Oregon Department of Human Services, Produced by Allied Video Productions & Marcia Martin & Associates. Target audience: middle school students (12-14 years old). This award-winning video is based on the "Mythbusters" concepts to increase awareness about problem gambling. Keywords: gambling teen youth online cards prevention problem awareness. Ten years ago, the problem of underage gambling did not even register a blip on the roster of social concerns. Now, according to experts, more young people are at an increased risk of developing a gambling problem, sometimes associated with other risk behaviors such as alcohol and drug use, truancy, low grades, and illegal activities.Because of the growing concern about problem gambling and youth, Oregon Problem Gambling Services commissioned the production of the first-ever Oregon video and educational guide. Filming included youth of various backgrounds from rural and urban Oregon communities. The result is "Teen Gambling: It's A Risky Deal," an eight-minute DVD geared toward middle school students, featuring a "Mythbusters" theme. The goals of the video are to supplement classroom problem gambling prevention education, and will be available free of charge to interested schools. Students will learn myths and facts about gambling, that gambling is not free of risk, how to recognize problem gambling, and how to get help. Help in Lane County is available at no cost to problem gamblers and their loved ones by calling the emergence Gambling Treatment Program at 541.741.7107, or the 24-hour gambling help line, 1.877.MY.LIMIT. What are your children doing in their spare time? While typically considered an adult activity in the past, gambling is spreading to the younger age set, and the dangers of gambling are no longer just an adult concern. Andrea Lockner, Lifeways prevention coordinator for Malheur County, said research and societal factors indicate more youth and teenagers are either gambling or becoming more susceptible to developing gambling problems earlier, making youth gambling awareness more important. Children and teenagers are introduced to gambling every day, Lockner said, through teasers on the Internet to watching television. Poker has become the equivalent of a sport through broadcasts of poker tournaments on television channels, such as ESPN, and children see that and their perceptions of gambling can change. Lockner said she has even heard children say they want to become professional poker players when they grow up. What is Problem Gambling? 10 Signs of Problem Gambling: Problem gambling is a disorder characterized by maladaptive gambling behavior leading to negative personal, family and/or social consequences. Problem gambling includes but is not limited to the condition known as compulsive (or pathological) gambling. To be diagnosed with this disorder, the individual must have experienced five or more of ten characteristic symptoms, including: preoccupation with gambling-related thoughts, plans or activities; needing to gamble with increased sums to produce the desired excitement; having made repeated unsuccessful attempts to control, cut back or stop gambling. restlessness or irritability when attempting to cut down or stop gambling; gambling to escape from problems or relieve an undesired mood such as helplessness, guilt, anxiety or depression; after losing money gambling, often returning to try to win it back (chasing losses); lying to conceal gambling activities or consequences; committing illegal acts to finance gambling; jeopardizing or losing a significant relationship, job, educational or career opportunity because of gambling; relying on a "bailout" (money from others to relieve a desperate gambling-related financial situation); According to the American Psychiatric Association, 10 to 15% of young people asked have significant gambling problems; 6% of the teens who have tried gambling have become pathological gamblers.

Brink of Death on the Brink of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls
uploaded by TommyIsH080625 at youtube.com
Suicide rescue - Brink of Death on the Brink of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls (Canadian Falls) on the American side next to Goat Island - the rescuers are the daredevil heros. This is actual footage captured by tourists and amateur photographers on 19 March 2003, of a 48 yo man from Buffalo, NY, at the brink of Niagara's Horseshoe Falls along Terrapin Point of Goat Island, NY. Earlier that day he lost thousands (borrowed from his father) at newly opened Seneca Nation casino, and was already $600,000 in debt to Casino Niagara in Canada. He was overcome with despair, and left a carefully written note behind saying, "Please tell my parents I'm sorry." The shock of the cold water and swift current jolted him to realize he wasn't ready to die - commonly said by survivors of dramatic suicide attempts, i.e., at the Golden Gate Bridge. At the very last moment before the falls brink, he wedged his feet in a crevice and held on for hours before rescue. How was he able to stand there or stop his body from advancing to the edge? Rapids above the falls reach a speed of 25 mph / 40 kph. The bottom is jagged and worn slippery smooth (walk on the rocks at three sisters' islands to see how slippery, even when dry). The water at the spot where the man stood was thigh high. At night and in winter 75% of the water is diverted for power (in summer daytime 50% is diverted). At 5:00pm in Summer there is twice as much water, deeper and more violent. How he withstood the water pressure, even reduced, on slick rocks, even jammed in a crack, in ice cold winter temperatures is hard to fathom. Rescuers approached from an ice shelf jutting over the water. Hightly decorated helicopter pilot, Capt. Kevin Caffery, was known for taking extreme measures to save people in many river and lake rescues (aka, ice fishermen stranded on a breakaway ice flow, landing on a submerged rock to save a woman). Here, Caffery pushed the limits of the single engine helicopter in blinding mist and unpredictably updrafts from the releasing energy of the falling water. In the water were police Sgt. Pat Moriarty and firefighter Gary Carella. They strained against the current to save him from drowning when he was pulled under the ice shelf by the water. He said to his rescuers, "Let me go, don't kill yourselves, too." He said over and over, "I'm sorry." They managed to pull him to safety. He was admitted to hospital for his injuries and psychiatric help. He refused reporters interview requests. The tape of his rescue is used for training. Stunters are finned and charged for their rescue. Depression and other illnesses which induce suicide are not illegal and not fined. *** 4 July Through a contact, I was told that the rescued man continues to get support (GA) for his gambling addiction. *** This event was reported by many local and national news outlets: AP, CBS, Time Magazine, and others. The man's name was not released. -------------- Suicides at Niagara -------------- Niagara Falls is a very beautiful place on earth. The power and the magesty of the Falls is overwhelming. You can get up close and personal with the Falls in many safe ways. The Maid of the Mist (US and Canada), the Cave of the Winds (US), and Journey Behind the Falls (Canada) are amazing. Unfortunately, some people go there for other reasons. Every year there is an average of 12 to 18 known suicides at Niagara Falls (not all bodies are recovered) and about 25 a year at the Golden Gate Bridge. Awareness, proper help and the support of friends and loved ones could prevent a vast number of these deaths. The lure of the Falls for suicide is well documented, but in recent years, the publicity is presumed to inspire more people to choose the Falls as a means to their end. It begs the question, why more isn't done to curb suicide at it's source, and to offer more mental health services - this queston was raised after the college shooting and suicide in VA. At the Falls, many people, both men and women, have gone into the rapids quietly, calmly, and often without witnesses. Due to the rocks at the bottom of the American (Rainbow) Falls, there is a lure to the expectation of a quick finality and a hope that their body won't be found - although many are pushed out by the force of the water. Often the only facts of the suicide are notes, letters, personal belongings, and clothes left behind. Over the past 100 years, several people were rescued from the water or rapids between Goat Island and Prospect Point. Usually they were within 100 feet of the shore and 100 to 500 feet from the edge of the Falls. Police, firefighters and friends, used a combination of rope, ladders and wading into the less rough part of the water to get within rescue reach. In recent years, there were several daring rescues, using police and tourist helicopters, from areas not safely accessed any other way.

Gambling, Poker, VLT, Slot Machines Addiction
uploaded by GamblingVideos at youtube.com
http://www.gamblinghelper.com Similarities between pathological gambling and chemical dependency include an inability to stop/control the addiction, denial, severe depression, and mood swings. Pathological gambling and chemical dependency are both progressive diseases with similar phases. These include "chasing" the first win/high, experiencing blackouts and using the object of addiction to escape pain. Both pathological gamblers and persons addicted to alcohol or drugs are preoccupied with their addiction, experience low self-esteem, use rituals, and seek immediate gratification. Unlike chemical addiction, pathological gambling is a hidden disease gamblers do not stumble, have needles in their arm, or smell of cards and dice. Pathological gamblers cannot overdose in the conventional sense, but they experience tremendous financial problems that require immediate attention. More resources are available to chemical dependency than gambling addiction, in part because most people do not perceive gambling as potentially addicting. It is very important that pathological gamblers receive crisis stabilization at the beginning of their treatment, because pathological gamblers have a much higher suicide rate than persons addicted to alcohol or drugs. http://www.gamblinghelper.com/forum
