Rated 5 out of 5 by MizS Delighted!
I'm very pleased with this purchase. It's everything I wanted and expected.
I have arthritis in the big toe joints of both feet and the bones of my feet are not as flexible as I want them to be. I've only had the machine for two weeks, but I've used it daily since I assembled it. First, after 5, 10, or 15 minutes it makes my feet, ankles legs, back and hands feel great. Secondly, I can tell that I'm gaining sensation in my feet. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm confident that my balance is going to improve as my foot joints gain flexibility.
I'm delighted by what regular use of this machine has already done for me. And I'm looking forward to the best of additional improvements my use of it will make possible.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bluebird609 Liking it more each day
I read all of the reviews before purchasing this and decided to try it. I am hoping that it will help my daughter who has chronic daily migraine and fibromyalgia. Although I found the noise and vibrations intimidating, I started gradually with the exercises given, working my way up to now being able to do them all, with some modification. I like either the straight vibe or the 4th mode. My niece, who is a rower, tried it and thought it was good for conditioning. My older daughter (24) tried it last night and has decided it is her machine! My dr who primarily uses altermative approaches like acupuncture, and has a sports medicine background, gave his stamp of approval and said he thought this type of treatment can have healing effects. the reason it is only a 4 is that I am still getting to know the machine and do not like the noise level.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2panic Love this product
I really enjoy this product. I am a new yoga practioner and it is very helpful to use before I practice and the next day after a challenging practice to losen up. I also have used it for exercise and you can feel it working you a bit harder. I usually start at lower speed and then at highest by the end of the 10 minute pre-set.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SaSa A Great Product
I was a little skeptical at first when I placed my order, but after using the Trainer for a month now, I really love it. I typically use the Trainer prior to my Yoga DVD and find that it helps my muscles stretch out and provides ease of flexibility.
Love the bands that provide a upper body workout as well.
My only complaint would be the plate is so hard and sharp when I put my hands on as shown for optional exercises.
But I would certainly reccomend to any and all my friends.
Love it!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SLSw Works well for the whole family
I have fibromyalgia and bought this primarily for myself as a fairly easy way to fit in some simple activity even on some of my difficult days. It's proven to be even more useful than that! My husband uses it and has found it helps his low back issues. My 8-year old daughter uses it as well both for the novelty of it and because it helps with her sensory processing disorder needs. We're very pleased with it and would definitely recommend it to others.

New Network Unites Community Leaders to Improve Health
The Build Healthy Places Network, a new and innovative resource to improve health outcomes in low-income communities, launched last month during the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association.
This groundbreaking network sits at the intersection of public health and community development. The goal of the network is to expand our collective understanding of the social determinants that impact public health and catalyze action. In so doing, the Build Healthy Places Network hopes to create new models and develop new tools to help leaders of low-income communities and create a Culture of Health where every individual lives the healthiest life possible.
Already, cutting edge work is being done in the public health sphere to begin addressing the many factors that impact health. As Douglas Jutte, MD, MPH, the Network's executive director, recently described, the Network is designed to aggregate the work being done to help build a knowledge base for every community to use.
"The concept is derived from a series of conferences that the Federal Reserve System has held focusing on both health and community development," said Jutte. "There was a growing recognition that there needs to be a support system to build bridges between these two distinct sectors. While the conferences were a good start, we saw the opportunity for a network to help build these cross-sectoral connections and keep this field of collaboration moving forward."
The Network's website includes resources such as primers on improving the health of communities and stories about communities that are already uniting community development experts and public health experts to build a Culture of Health.
Jutte says a lot of the successes in the field currently are anecdotal and people working in the field often come up them "accidentally."
"You hear about this amazing work that someone is doing in some corner of a faraway state and that really should end because we have the ability to share that kind of knowledge," says Jutte.
He continued, "A key goal is to move health and community development from their siloes to collaboration. The Network will serve as a clearing house to bring together stories and evidence and examples of collaboration in communities."
Going forward, the Network plans to "synthesize" what is known and what the good examples are "so that we can help communities and leaders who are not even sure where to start, to really understand what's going on in terms of new models with a focus on measurement, policy, finance and investment," Jutte said.
Adding Diversity to the Ranks of Public Health Nursing Leadership: Q&A with Shirley Orr, MHS, APRN
Today at the American Public Health Association annual meeting in New Orleans, Shirley Orr, MHS, APRN, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Executive Nurse Fellow and public health consultant, and Doris Brown of the Louisiana Department of Health, will be talking about opportunities for nursing leaders to implement the recommendations of a 2010 Institute of Medicine Report entitled "The Future of Nursing." This report looks at ways that the nursing profession can transform itself in order to better align with population health and more effectively collaborate to create a healthier overall population.
NewPublicHealth recently spoke with Orr about how nurses can help improve community and population health. This interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
NewPublicHealth: What does the nursing profession need to do in order to align itself with a focus on population health?
Shirley Orr: A couple of things in particular that stand out are education and diversity. We recently did a public health nursing enumeration that was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and we found two things in particular relating to the recommendations. First, that overall, public health nurses need new skills and they need higher levels of education to be able to function more collaboratively and within collaborations—both within health care and with other community partners.
Second, we found that nationwide, the demographic profile of public health nurses does not look like the population that we serve. Ethnic minorities are very much underrepresented among public health nursing—particularly in leadership roles.
We have a very urgent need to recruit more nurses of color into the ranks of public health nursing leadership.
NPH: Why is that necessary?
Orr: A core component of nursing curriculum today is culture competency. That being said, we also know that having nurses who understand populations very, very deeply by having a frame of reference for that population and being a member of that population really are able to help to get the highest level of engagement from the population. They're also best prepared to understand the culture, the needs, the motivations about populations, so they're really best positioned to be able to carry out in partnership strategies that are going to make a difference long-term in the health of populations.
New Research Shows How Sugary Drinks Are Marketed to Children in the Age of Social Media
Beverage companies spent $866 million to advertise unhealthy drinks in 2013, and children and teens remained key target audiences for that advertising, according to a new report released today at APHA by the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity. The report "Sugary Drink FACTS 2014" highlights some progress regarding beverage marketing to young people, but also shows that companies still have a long way to go to improve their marketing practices and the nutritional quality of their products to support young people's health.
"Despite promises by major beverage companies to be part of the solution in addressing childhood obesity, our report shows that companies continue to market their unhealthy products directly to children and teens," said Jennifer Harris, PhD, Rudd Center's director of marketing initiatives and lead author of the report. "They have also rapidly expanded marketing in social and mobile media that are popular with young people, but much more difficult for parents to monitor."
Harris and her team examined changes in the nutritional content of sugar-sweetened drinks including sodas, energy drinks, fruit drinks, and others. They also analyzed marketing tactics for 23 companies that advertised these products, including changes in advertising to children and teens on TV, the internet, and newer media like mobile apps and social media. Researchers also examined changes in the nutrition and marketing of diet beverages, 100% juice, and water. The report was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
Learn more about the key findings of the report in the following exclusive interview with Harris. The interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
NPH: You issued the first version of this new report in 2011. What are the changes since then?
Jennifer Harris: The biggest change that we saw was a very significant decline in advertising on television. Preschoolers are seeing 33% fewer TV ads for sugary drinks in 2013 than they saw in 2010. Children are seeing 39% fewer, and teens are seeing 30% fewer. So, that was really some great news to see, but some categories had bigger declines than others. Fruit drinks went down by about 50%, but advertising for energy drinks that kids see actually increased. So, there was some good news and some bad news.
APHA 2014: A ReFreshing Collaboration is Building Better Health in New Orleans
If we as a nation are to succeed in building a Culture of Health that benefits every individual, it will require collaboration across sectors, open communication among diverse organizations and a willingness to step out of traditional practices to find effective interventions.
On Monday, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Vice President Michelle Larkin showcased one example of this innovative collaboration that is occurring on the edge of a low-income neighborhood in New Orleans, just a few miles away from this year's American Public Health Association (APHA) annual meeting.
At the corner of North Broad Street and Bienville Avenue sits The ReFresh Project—an innovative fresh food hub located in a former warehouse that had been vacant since Hurricane Katrina struck the city nine years ago. Today the site is home to a Whole Foods Market, Liberty's Kitchen, The Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine and an onsite farm.
The goal of the hub, according to project founder Jeffrey Schwartz, is to create new eating, working, exercise and community living cultures.
Each aspect of the Refresh Project is designed to realize these goals.
- At the Whole Foods market, which anchors the Refresh project development, products are specifically chosen to be both high quailty and affordable. Specifically, the store carries more store-line products and often has more sale items than other stores in the Whole Foods chain. Two healthy eating educators are also located on-site to answer questions, craft recipes, and host tours.
- At Liberty's Kitchen, a culinary work readiness and leadership program for at-risk youth, New Orleans youth ages 16-24 who are out of work and out of school are given an intensive and hands-on food service training, case management, job placement services and follow-up support. Ninety percent of Liberty's Kitchen Youth Development Program participants are employed on graduation out of the program and 80 percent are still employed at the six-month benchmark, according to the organization.
Looking at Health Departments' Ever-Changing Future: A Discussion of the Recent Findings of the Public Health 2030 Project
From the dramatic impact of extreme weather events such as Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, to the rapidly changing policy landscape of health care providers, the functions, missions and futures of public health agencies continue to change.
To help health departments plan for an uncertain future, the Institute for Alternative Futures—with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Kresge Foundation—recently worked with state and local health departments, leaders and experts in the field to look forward to the year 2030 and analyze public health scenarios in order to offer pathways to expectable, challenging and visionary futures for public health.
On Tuesday afternoon at APHA, Clement Bezold, PhD, the Founder and Chairman of the Institute for Alternative Futures, and Terry Allan MPH, will discuss theses scenarios and findings and insights gained.
Prior to their presentation, NewPublicHealth sat down with Bezold for an exclusive preview of his presentation.
NewPublicHealth: How did your APHA presentation come about?
Clement Bezold: The presentation is based on the Public Health 2030 project, and that project came about following scenario reports on primary care, on vulnerability, social and economic vulnerability in the United States and on health and health care.
NPH: What are some of the key points about the Public Health 2030 project?
CB: With Public Health 2030, there are a host of challenges and opportunities facing health departments. There are the ongoing fiscal issues at the state and local governmental levels, there's increased infectious disease, there are climate-change-related changes that communities are facing.

Financial Incentives Double Smoking Quit Rates
Offering small financial incentives doubles smoking cessation rates among low-income smokers, according to research from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. The study was published in the American Journal of Public Health. Participants in the intervention group could earn up to $150 in gift cards over four weeks. Progress was monitored for 12 weeks following the quit date. A control group received only cessation information, no incentives. The researchers found that quit rates were 49 percent for those in the incentive group but only 25 percent in the control group. Read more on tobacco.
Two Thirds of Parents Would Take Kids out of Daycare if Other Children Don't Have Their Immunizations
A national survey of parents with children ages 0-5 found that three quarters of them would take their children out of daycare if at least one quarter of the children at daycare were not up to date on their vaccines. The researchers say the scenario is realistic since about 25 percent of preschool children in the United States are not fully vaccinated, according to national statistics. Just over 40 percent of survey responders also said that children missing vaccines should be asked to leave daycare until they are up to date. Read more on vaccines.
Three Drugs During Pregnancy Better Than Current Complicated Regimen for Preventing Mother-to-Baby HIV Transmission
For HIV-infected women in good immune health, taking a three-drug regimen during pregnancy prevents mother-to-child HIV transmission more effectively than taking one drug during pregnancy, another during labor and two more after giving birth, according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health.

At APHA 2014 Opening Session, Key Leaders Talk Culture of Health
Healthography—or the health of the place where you live—is the theme of this year's American Public Health Association (APHA) annual meeting, which is taking place in New Orleans this week.
During the opening session, Georges Benjamin, MD, Executive Director of APHA, announced that APHA's goal is to create the healthiest generation in American history within one generation. Benjamin's announcement was coupled with announcements from local and national public health leaders that collectively took another step forward in that effort.
For example, the Partnership for a Healthier America announced a new Healthier Campus Initiative, which calls on colleges and universities to adopt recommended guidelines on food, nutrition and physical activity.
"We know that going to college is a time of change for many students—we also know that means it's a time when new habits are formed," said Peter Soler, the partnership's CEO. "By creating healthier food and physical activity environments today, campuses and universities are encouraging healthier habits that will carry over into tomorrow."
Guidelines being adopted by participating campuses include promoting the consumption of water instead of soda on campus, offering a bicycle sharing program for all students and providing certified personal trainers and registered dietitian nutritionists on campus.
In addition, Louisiana's Secretary of Health and Hospitals, Kathy Kliebert, discussed the state's "Well-Ahead" initiative, which promotes and recognizes smart choices that are made in the spaces and places where people live and work, and which make it easier to live healthier lives. Kliebert told the audience that Well-Ahead promotes voluntary changes without imposing new taxes or creating new rules.
Within the host city of New Orleans, a couple of initiatives to improve health within the Crescent City were also discussed at APHA's opening session.
One such initiative to combat obesity—known as Fit Nola—now has 100 miles of bike lanes throughout the city. Also, next week legislation will be introduced to ban smoking in the city's bars, casinos and public spaces.
APHA's opening session ended with a talk by Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson, who spoke about her book "The Warmth of Other Suns." A book 15 years in the making, "The Warm of Other Suns" describes the migration of African Americans in the 20th century from the South to the North for a better life for themselves and their children. For example, the parents of Olympian Jesse Owens worried their son would not have the strength to work in the fields, so they moved north to Cleveland, Ohio, where he started running track—a sport that would take him around the world and across the global stage.
Whether the generation of migrants profiled in Wilkerson's book realized it, their stories epitomize the power of place, and the influence of geography on health, wellbeing and opportunity of every individual.
>>Bonus Link: Also in attendance at yesterday's opening session was Peter Salk, son of the world famous Jonas Salk, MD, who was on hand to accept a posthumous award from APHA for his father's discovery of a vaccine for polio. Watch the trailer above for the film "The Shot Felt Round the World" to learn more about the elder Salk's successful search for a cure.

Ebola Patient from Sierra Leone Dies of Virus in U.S.
A doctor from Sierra Leone who arrived in the United States on Saturday for treatment for Ebola has died. The doctor was taken to the Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, one of four U.S. hospitals with specialized units prepared to treat patients with the virus. News reports say the physician may have been sicker than other patients treated for Ebola so far in the United States. Read more on Ebola.
Disparities in Treating Black Children for Ear Infections Actually Results in Treatment that Meets Guidelines
Black children are less likely to be diagnosed with ear infections and less likely to receive broad-spectrum antibiotics for ear infections than are white children, according to a new study in the journal Pediatrics. But the discrepancy in prescribing fewer broad-spectrum antibiotics means black children actually are more likely to receive care in line with recommended guidelines for treating ear infections.

Secondhand Marijuana Smoke May Damage Blood Vessels as Much as Tobacco Smoke
Breathing secondhand marijuana smoke could damage heart and blood vessels as much as secondhand cigarette smoke, according to preliminary research presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2014 meeting this week in Dallas. In the study, blood vessel function in lab rats dropped 70 percent after 30 minutes of exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke. Even when the marijuana contained no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—a compound in marijuana that produces intoxication—blood vessel function was still impaired. Reduced blood vessel function may raise the chances of developing atherosclerosis and could lead to a heart attack. "Most people know secondhand cigarette smoke is bad for you, but many don't realize that secondhand marijuana smoke may also be harmful," said Matthew Springer, PhD, senior author of the study and cardiovascular researcher and associate professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco's Cardiology Division.

Faces of Public Health: Georges Benjamin, MD, APHA
The American Public Health Association (APHA) annual meeting begins next week in New Orleans, the first return to the area for the 15,000-strong meeting since Hurricane Katrina nine years ago. This year's theme is Healthography, or, as APHA Executive Director Georges Benjamin, MD, recently said, "where you live matters."
Earlier this week, Benjamin spoke with NewPublicHealth about key issues and presentations for this year's meeting. The following interview has been lightly edited for clarity and length.
NewPublicHealth: "Healthography"—what is it and why is important especially right now?
Georges Benjamin: We know for sure that place matters, and I think New Orleans is an excellent example of that truth. It's a wonderful city, but certainly has had huge health challenges. In our annual America's Health Rankings survey that we do with the United Health Foundation and Partnership for Prevention, Louisiana consistently ranks as one of the lowest states in the nation for health. When you also consider the environmental tragedies that the state had—two storms in short succession and then the Gulf oil spill—the challenges of place and health become especially clear.
So the concept of the geography in which you live and your health is taking center stage as we head to New Orleans. As just one example, our opening session speaker, Isabel Wilkerson, wrote the book "The Warmth of Other Suns," which deals with the great migration of Americans who moved from one place to another to try to achieve a better life.
NPH: What are some of the other highlights of this year's meeting?
Benjamin: We've got the acting U.S. Surgeon General coming, Dr.Boris Lushniak, and he is going to talk a great deal about health and place. He's an amazing speaker around the issues of place-based health, how we build our communities and things that we can do to make the healthy choice the easy choice.
In addition, Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, the president and CEO of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will be the keynote speaker for the closing session on Wednesday, where she will talk about the foundation's new Culture of Health and how they are playing a leading role in building a future where every American has the opportunity to live the healthiest life possible, regardless of where they live.
As RWJF clearly knows, when you design things, you get exactly what you design, and we've designed an environment and a culture around health that creates an unhealthy environment. So, if we redesign that culture to improve our health, we can make a big difference.
NPH: Why is building a Culture of Health so important?
Benjamin: Most people living in the United States are not as healthy as they can be, and so APHA believes that we need to build a movement to be the healthiest nation, and we think we can do that in a generation. So, this meeting is the first component of our new strategic direction which aligns very closely with RWJF's strategic direction.
Our goal is for the United States to be number one and not be number 36 in terms of quality of our health. We think there's an opportunity to do that through the kind of things that APHA does with education, policy development, legislative advocacy, and building grass roots and grass tops movements to get us there.

More than 1 in 5 High School Students Currently Uses Tobacco
Almost 23 percent of high school students currently use a tobacco product, according to new data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.) "Nine out of ten smokers tried their first cigarette by age 18," said Tim McAfee, MD, MPH, director of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health. "We must do more to prevent our youth from using tobacco products, or we will see millions of them suffer and die prematurely as adults. Fully implementing proven tobacco control programs would help keep our youth from falling victim to tobacco." A review by CDC researchers of the agency's National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) found that in 2013, 22.9 percent of high school students and 6.5 percent of middle school students reported using a tobacco product within the last 30 days and nearly half of all high school students and 17.7 percent of middle school students said they had used a tobacco product at least once in their lifetime. The survey also found that 12.6 percent of high school students say they currently use two or more tobacco products. The researchers found that most young adults who use tobacco believe they will be able to quit, but about three out of four high school smokers continue smoking into adulthood. Read more on tobacco.
Climate Change Expected to Increase Airborne Allergens
Results of a new study by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst strongly suggest that there will be increases in grass pollen production and allergen exposure up to 202 percent in the next 100 years, leading to a significant, worldwide impact on human health because of predicted rises in carbon dioxide. The researchers exposed grass plants to different atmospheric gas concentrations and found that high levels of carbon dioxide increased pollen production per flower by 53 percent.

Many Asthma Patients Would Like to Talk to Their Doctors about Cost Concerns
Asthma patients concerned about their ability to pay for medical care would like to talk about cost-related concerns with their physicians—but often do not get that opportunity, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. The study, published in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society, found that less than half of patients who expressed a preference for such discussions with their doctors reported having the conversations. "Financial burden from out-of-pocket health care expenses poses significant safety concerns and risk of poor outcomes to patients and society when patients utilize risky strategies, such as non-adherence, to address these burdens," said Minal Patel, MD, U-M assistant professor of health behavior and health education and the lead author of the study. "Patients need to communicate with health care providers in order to access affordable options such as free samples, verification to access community assistance programs, and [a prescription change] or to adjust treatment recommendations." Read more on access to health care.

A friend of mine was found 'guilty' of a felony 'white collar' crime about 5 years ago, but has been out for about and has said that he will never fill out another job application because when you check that "felony conviction" box on the application, you are discriminated against even if you are qualified. He expressed that in every interview they are more concerned about his conviction than his creditials. Is being an entrepenuer the only option for convicted felons? Who has the best work opportunities for them?
Even when felons do get jobs they are restricted to construction or roofing jobs. If you havent heard most employees in those fields are constantly drunk or abusing drugs.It makes it really hard for an ex-felon to make a life change for better instead of back tracking right back to prision.Every now and then you'll find that "one" that makes it, but thats more rare than it should be.
You are absolutely right! One of my best friends had a six months record in felony. Now that he is out for more than a year, life has become a hell for him. Even though in his college days he used to be a brilliant scholar but after conviction, finding jobs in kansas has become a painstaking job for him..
vreally like to have my money to take care of my family plus im school now.i need not want if this comment should help me please let it.thank you

Looking for the perfect Christmas gift? Holiday Gift basket can make your life and the holiday season easy. By personalizing the basket to the recipient, your gift will be seen as thoughtful and will be appreciated.
Try Minnesota Wire and Cable, J & L Cable in St. Paul. Oil change places may be an option, except if the offence was car theft. Stryden Staffing in Edina places people in a job moving rentals from one car lot to the other. Stryden has looked at ex-offenders on a case-by-case basis, except for car theft offenses. 1st Choice Employment of White Bear Lake is an open-minded temporary and temp-to-permanent staffing company: 1stchoiceemploy.com They are particularly interested in CNC machinists, welders, and other skilled industrial workers. Also try Vision Staffing Solutions 763-428-2926. They don't have a blanket policy against ex-offenders. If you need to impress these case-by-case employers, show them that you have changed, that you won't reoffend, that you will be a safe and beneficial worker for their business.
Tell your friend to try to get his conviction expuged. Then he'll be able to honestly answer no in the felony question.
Also look at local resources. There are a lot of programs to get people back on their feet. Good luck, hope your friend knows a few business owners.
Yes there are also programs for which you can become federally bonded. This is a program of which employers can enroll in this insurance program and they will be payed for having hired a convicted felon. So its an incentive program for employers to take a chance that they will benefit from, as well as you becoming hired.
I am a 69 y/o exfconvicted felon. I'd been strugling to make end meet because I can't get a job because my record and my age, there r a lot of descrimination in florida for both. I'm retired and make $672.00 a month. and I can't survive on that kind of money.
I was working in a little restaurant but it shut down last month, I'm desperate to pay my rent, my bills, gas etc. How can I find a job for my age.?
It doesn't get any easier for us women who are convicted of felons. In fact I think it's even harder for us to find jobs. Even though you guys can get jobs in construction we can get even that type of jobs. The probation officers wants us to get jobs but where and who's going to hire you. I understand they want us to work but it very hard to find jobs that your employer wont judge you to badly. My officer told me to keep applying someone will hire you. Yeah who a fast food rest. How are you to live on that kind of income. You may make enough to pay something to the probation office or maybe some on the rent at the motel your renting or a little bit of food you can get of the week and then it's gone and you haven't improved on anything not even yourself worth. It's bad enough that you feel bad about what you done and now you have to lower yourself to explain what happened and sit there and look at your future employers face as you explain it. The answer I have gotten for my probation officer is that I shouldn't have done what I did. Well that's great when you have starving children you do what you can. It's just not fair we should be given another chance and not be judged for our crimes.
i was charged as an accomplice to a crime in 1999 and even though i was proven innocent i still paid my debt to society but ever since that i still cannot find a job and i am really desperately looking for work
i have just recently been convicted for a felony and serving 5 years probation and i am guilty for what i done hands down. i was searching for means to a end, because my family business that was successful for some time was failing because of the economy down turn i got desperate so i sold drugs. i associated with successful drug dealers for some time, but never got involved, but seen how they made a system to make real money not no street corner money. And let me tell you when times or hard even the righteous can make a wrong turn, not saying i am but I'm a person who is just like any other rational thinking person. I never been convicted of a crime before that and consider myself along with other people i know who think of me as a honorable good hearted person who always tried to help people, and would not hurt somebody over money or any other reason for that matter besides to protect myself and my family, and their were a lot of people who were surprised i would be involved in something like that. People will make judgments about those who comment crime such as i have and first thing that comes to mind is that his a thug, a gang banger, or a gansta, but thats quite the contrary. There or drug dealers who do not gang bang who really don't consider themselves gansta, but who live normal lives have mortgages have kids and wives. But don't misunderstand me or miss my point what I've done was wrong and the people i just spoke of or wrong to.
I could go on and tell you everything i want to say but my point is the system is flawed to a high degree expessically for first time offenders who become second time and third time offenders, because of the flaw in the first time offenders for certain crimes. I've genially met people besides myself who were first time offenders who want to start over and not go back to that life but they find out you or not the same person anymore because you been branded like cow but a bad meat cow. The flaw that lives in the system is no second chance for crimes that deserve a second chance granted I'm not taking away the fact that what we've done was wrong, but i know people who should be felons who or not and these people i speak of or professional people like doctors, lawyers, government sector and politicians as well as the police, just your good old average American citizen the same ones who i read online who post their arrogant comments and throw their rocks like their not capable of such things when in fact they or and maybe have already done, if not they know someone who has, that's close to them in someway, but say things like felons should just lie down and die or they should not get a second chance because i never done anything or maybe just not got caught. Speaking of people who or not convicted felons if anybody wants a change that's a felon we alone can't do anything but if you think about it because were felons and can't vote and maybe have limited rights when comes to what or congressman or president can do doesn't mean or family or friends who or not felons and can persuade certain things to get done but it would take all of us to work together to make a movement who has any suggestions
I can relate to all of the people who have served time for a felony conviction & are unable to find employment! I am in the same boat! I have moved from Georgia back in March of 2008 to Oregon in hopes of finding employment; & unfortunatly,I have not had any employment opportunities since I have been fillimg out applications in Oregon. I am hoping that an employer will eventually hire me for my exp. in the construction field. & more so with all of the other skills I have outside of the construction field.
Felons aren't the only ones having a hard time. I was recently arrested for a misdemeanor and can not find any employment. The charge was dismissed, but still having a hard time. I don't know what I can do, I'm at the point I'm going to lose everything I have, I've had to deal with depression on top of all of this. How much more can I take!
I was just released from jail on December 31st, 2008 after having done a year and now I am a convicted felon and am looking for a job. I almost became hired for McDonalds last week but they do not have enough hours to offer if any./ What i have to offer is that there are federally bonded insurance programs for employers. The way this works is a prospective employer is willing to hire you or even if they are skeptical then you should inform them of this program. What it is, is insurance for the employer to take out on you for them as an incentive for them having hired them. SO in other words they will get payed for having hired you. Also there are programs for just getting released ex offenders who have done there time and have fullfilled their debt to society; who can enroll and they are there to help convicted felons not just find jobs but paths to their dream career path. These programs will help you overcomeyour boundries that society has placed on you due to you past decisions.
If you are eligible, the best step is to get your criminal record expunged or sealed. There are several ways to determine your eligibility: first, consult with an attorney that practices criminal law and knows about record relief. Second, call the clerk's office and ask if they can provide you with some direction for learning about the topic on your own. Third, check out a site like clearmyrecord.com where you can take an online questionnaire to determine your eligibility. If you're eligible, and the requirements do vary by state, then for sure make application to have your record cleared.
One poster mentioned federal bonding programs and that is a good one to mention to employers, especially smaller ones that may not know about the program. The other government program is called WOTC, short for Work Opportunity Tax Credit. The federal level will provide incentives of 40% of the first $6,000 of earnings for ex-offenders. Many states have additional dollars available, too, under their own WOTC program.
Lastly, check out www.hard2hire.com. That site exists to help ex-offenders match up with employers willing to really consider you based on your ability. Full disclosure, that website is where I work.
Hope that helps! Good luck.

I havn't read all of the postings but what it bored down to is that yes we all did something we not proud of.The thing is some of them things we done we didn't get caught for. But that doesn't mean we are bad peoples.Some of us try hard to get our lives back together and it's wrong to let somthing in our pass hold us back.Because one single person don't feel like you can change it holds you back from a open door of many blessings.
I've worked in as a Real Estate Agent and Broker for four years. I was released this year and have been actively seeking employment since my release. Are there any companies out there that would consider hiring me. I live in the Georgia area. I was hired by one company and when I went in for the final interview was asked if I was a felon. When I was honest and answered yes I was told that they could not hire me. Looking for a second chance. I've made some mistakes but paid my dues.
how do you get the money to get your felony removed if you cant even get a job to get the money
you want to know something. To all the people that are crying like a baby because you have a little hitch in your path get over it. Yeah their are a lot of people that wont hire people with a record, but you know what that means you got to man up stop feeling sorry for yourself . so what you made a couple of bad choices no one forced you to make them. but its up to you to make ways for yourself. There's money to be made out there, leagal money but you got to put in the work put in your apps tell the truth dont be scared because fear gets you nowhere the person that puts you on knowing that you did what you did means they have faith in you and thats the person you whant to be working for anyway not trying to keep anyone down but thats the truth the whole truth and nothing but the trust and I say that cause I love all hate it or love it.
My name is Doris Watkins. Twenty years ago I committed a crime. I did two years in a federal prison. Since my release I have re-educated myself. I have an Associates of Applied Bussiness in Legal Assisting, a Bachelor of Criminal Justice and also a Master's of Criminal Justice with emphasis on Corrections and I am still having trouble finding employment. I am also a Licensed and Ordained Minister with some CPE training. I always thought that the United States was a forgiving Country and I also thought the rehabilitation and corrections system was there to help people return to society to be productive citizens and give back to the community but I am not seeing any of that. But I will not give up. I can not get my record exspundged because it is federal.
My boyfriend was convicted of two felonies years ago and while he was able to find a job here in OR (charges were in FL) he is way overqualified. He is now 33 and has been a manager since he was 18. Becuase of these felonies, the only job he could get was through Jiffy Lube. He is capable of SOOOO much more and we all know it. I tell him to simply explain his situation when speaking with a potential new employer but no matter what he says or how he says it, he is always denied. Also NO ONE will rent an apartment to a felon. Does anyone have advice on what to do for either issue? I have a misdeamenor DUI (just pulled over, no charges attached) and even I am finding it difficult to get work in the field I am trained in. I too am capable of a lot and until the DUI back in 06, I had never been denied a job.
Well I get the same thing. I feel that its wrong but i will not give up because of it. If i have to start my own thing so be it. I say that because i had this felony when i was hired at hawker beech so I thank god for people who decide to do the right thing. The people that discriminate against others have to answer for being such people. I'm not god so what can I do. I always remember god will make a way out of none.
My husband has worked construction type jobs all his life and he's good at what he does. I know for sure that he is very gifted in being handy as well. Unfortunately in the recession he's been layed off and has been for over 1yr. 30yrs ago he was convicted with a felony and served 5yrs in jail. Now that he has been actively seeking employment and has been honest about his record he cant even get a cleaning job. Can you believe it, it's been over 30 yrs ago Its not like he killed or robbed someone. This is what we know for sure is we wont lay down and die! because others think your less than or not worthy of. The God i serve lets us know different. We are taking this opportunity to start our own business. The enemy meant this pass felony for his defeat but God is working it out for his good. His gifts were placed in him to prosper him and to Glory God. The system is dead wrong. Get a honest hustle going and build from there and put God right in the middle of it and it shall prosper. We have RIGHT NOW FAITH.
I, too, am having a hard time finding a job because of a conviction from 1997. Even positions that ask if you've been convicted of a crime in the past 7 years (which I can legally answer NO to) will go back further in a background check, thus diqualifying me from employment. I was actually hired by one company but when they did a background check and found the conviction they called me and told me that they could not employ someone of my caliber with their company. I asked the woman if she thought that someone who had 2 jobs in the past 12 years (10 at one position), always showed for work, changed schedules with ease, was loved by her customers, was hardworking and loyal wasn't right for her company - then she was right, she didn't need me. What society does not understand is, if convicted felons aren't able to find jobs, then there are very few options for them - with crime being up there. Hopefully, I won't have to resort to this and employers are missing out on a good employee without even knowing it. I was told that if I completed all my court obligations then my debt to society was paid. It may be paid, but it is thrown back into my face with every job interview.
I, too, am having a difficult time finding work. Back in 2006, when my son passed away, I didn't handle it well. I opened up a credit card in my Mom's name and was buying things that I did not need. This was my 1st time that I had ever done anything illegal. I really want to pay the courts what I owe, but have not been able to find work for several years now. Sometimes, I do find work through Craigslist that I can do from home, but these jobs don't last long. They are not reliable forms of employment. I can fully relate to how your employer treated you. I was working for a cleaning company. Their application asked if I was convicted. At the time, I had just been processed by the police. I was not convicted yet. I checked "No" in the box that asked if I was convicted. I worked with them for a month. I was cleaning in a drug rehab. I normally do receptionist type work but I figured I would have a better chance of keeping a cleaning job than a job that I would normally do. The one morning my employer gave me a call and stated that they would have to let me go until I get my record straightened out. I AM NOT EVEN PERMITTED TO CLEAN TOILETS!!! HOW PATHETIC!!! I can't understand why employers won't give felons a chance. We are on probation anyway. If anything goes wrong, they could call our probation officer. Since we are so closely watched by our probation officers, it is very unlikely that we would do anything wrong. Our great work ethics are being blinded by our criminal records. Meanwhile, the courts still want me to pay my debt every month. That is going to be virtually impossible. I asked my attorney if I could get my record expunged. He told me that I would not qualify to have my record expunged. I have been reading up on a Governor's Pardon. I would have to wait a full 5 years to apply for this. I believe that the courts are punishing themselves by keeping my record visible to employers. If the courts want to get paid, they need to conceal my record so I can work. Otherwise, they will not get paid. The credit card company that I owe money too, probably thought that once I was arrested and convicted that I would be paying them. They are so wrong. I cannot afford to take care of myself or pay them. I had to move back home with my Mom and my son. I feel like I reverted back to my childhood. I am fully dependent on my Mom for everything.
I can surely relate to everyone's posts here. I have written here before and had explained how I am not able to find work due to my felony conviction. My probation officer sent me numerous job listings from the Snagajob.com site. Some of the jobs offered were cashier, sales associate, and automotive work. Does my probation officer really believe that someone with theft on their record can get this kind of work?! I am not even permitted to clean toilets with this felony conviction!!! Obviously, this shows how out of touch the probation officers are with a felon not being able to get hired. I believe with not being able to find work, I feel like I could have a mental breakdown! I think about finding a job from the time I get up until the time I go to sleep. I wish I could start my own business someway, somehow. I am getting sick and tired of being judged by employers! I may have made a mistake, but to make me a dependent citizen where I need others to help me survive is not the way to go. I would love to pay back the money that I owe, but the courts have decided to punish me for the rest of my life. I will never be able to pay off the creditors that I owe. Why should the people that I owe money to be punished also? They deserve to get paid, and as long as our court systems are set up to keep us down, I will never be able to pay what I owe!!! THE DISCRIMINATION MUST STOP TODAY!!!
I am sorry you are all going through this. I have a misdemeanor in my record and i can't get a job because of it.
I am having a very hard time in finding a job as well because of my past record.
I have had a very difficult time getting work since 2005. I was arrested for dealing in drugs...weed to be direct. I received three felonies. I did all i was asked to do, i violated twice then went into a rehabilitation center for my other addiction issues. I could have taken the easy way out and went to prison but i wanted to change and live better. i have made so many changes in my life and im so grateful to have taken that opportunity to receive the help and tools needed to stay clean. Yet, no one in the work force sees that. they don't know what I've gone through to be better and do right. They judge by what i have done rather than what i have become. I stand judged on a daily basis and i do not have the same rights as others. There is NO equal opportunity to work. No one will even give me a chance to prove myself. Yes i did have a drug issue and so i got caught..it probably saved my life. But they don't see it that way. These people they have committed crimes i don't care who they are or how little of a crime. the only difference between them and me (us) is that they didn't get caught.
Hi all. I have a similar situation, but I do have employment. I was arrested in 2005 for 4 felonies (poss. of CS, fake ID, forgery of financial instrument, tamp. of govt. record). I thought all was lost. It wasn't until 2006 I was sentenced to probation and C.S. I was released early for completing my requirements. I was fortunate enough to get a job working for Oxford International. While working their my manager informed me that no matter what happens in life, I can always get a sales job because they don't screen backgrounds. He knows from personal experience and he went from being a recruiter to a site manager managing an entire office. I have since been in IT sales and though the base is nothing to brag about, it does pay the bills and the commissions provide you the drive to want to succeed. I am now a Director for a staffing firm and work from home. Don't loose faith and don't keep thinking that the world is out to screw you. Trust me, you'll get nowhere. I made one bad decision one day and will forever pay for it and my charges show dismissed with no conviction. I look forward to my expungement in 2014! :o)
FYI, through my research on this, you'll find it hard to get a job in healthcare (including anything involving pharmaceuticals), law enforcement, legal, teaching, financial institutions, anything government related. Your best bet is to start out as call center/customer service (I know ACS hires people with backgrounds depending on the offense) and work your way into management. Sales is your best though.
I am 29 years old and was convicted of 3 felonies in 2002. Im always honest on applications and have always been in the construction industry. So having been released in 2007 its been difficult to find a job willing to let me flex my construction management skills. I have a associates degree in Business Management and am finishing up a degree in Construction Management and also a career diploma in Contractor/Construction Management. I have been turned down for MANY construction management positions in the DC area SOLELY because of my criminal record. I have recently obtained a contractors license and the proper insurance to start my own company but desire to be employed by a large firm. What should I do????

Apparently I too have a life sentence, by that I mean, I met my probation, will have my fines paid, had years of administrative work expererience, college educated - all that together means - NO WILL HIRE ME. This cycle has to end. I once had great credit, now due to no job I had to file backrupcy. I can barely keep a roof over my head. The state of NC doesn't allow expungements for felonies - all this means - I am doomed. It really is a life sentence. I will never have a good job, I will never have health insurance, I will never have any kind of retirement. Did I deserve all of this when I paid society back? So society would like for me to be homeless? Both my parents are passed now. I don't have anyone to help me. Probabtion officer tells me there are no programs out there to help me. Being a woman makes it even worse. Forget those sites that says HIRES FELONS... they are all tricks... most are really ads for going back to school!! Imagine that, like any of us could afford that. I am scared to death. I can't believe this is going to be my life. Someone gave me advise to start my own business - now how is that possible? I have no money and I don't qualify for a small business loan. Some counties have re-entry programs for felons out of jail.... yeah re-entry into working at McDonalds. Laws need to change. Once your debt is paid your record should be sheilded from employers (some I know can't be hidden)... but really people if you have paid the price and stayed out of trouble don't you think we all deserve something better? Pray for me and I will do the same for all. I can't believe one very bad mistake has now taken my life.

Hi, I'm looking for a good bath mat- main criteria are quick-drying and not too expensive. Anyone come across any awesome bath mats? Best I've found so far is that spongey one (http://www.amazon.com/Unknown-Microfiber-Absorbing-Bathmat/dp/B000M8JA6U) but it's only got so-so reviews. Thanks! asked Aug 25 '11 at 17:49 GeoffG |
The problem is that the quicker it dries off, the less it absorbs. 100% cotton is best for absorbency. No latex backing means you can throw it in the wash after you dry off or when/if it molds. I find it best to be cheap enough to buy 3 or 4. I've several, some are cheap rugs from IKEA and some are ones that my mother gave me. answered Sep 03 '11 at 14:58 Courtney Ostaff |

You have urinary incontinence. This is when you are not able to keep urine from leaking from your urethra, the tube that carries urine out of your body from your bladder. Urinary incontinence may occur as your age or after a surgery or childbirth. There are many things you can do to help keep urinary incontinence from affecting your daily life.
You may need to take special care of the skin around your urethra. These things may help.
Clean the area around your urethra right after urinating. This will help keep the skin from getting irritated. It will also help keep infection away. Ask your doctor or nurse about special skin cleaners for people who have urinary incontinence.
When bathing, use warm water and wash gently. Scrubbing too hard can hurt the skin. After bathing, use a moisturizer and a barrier cream.
Deodorizing tablets may help with any odor. Ask your doctor or nurse if they might be right for you.
If your mattress becomes wet:
You can also use water-resistant sheets to keep urine from soaking into your mattress.
Eat healthy foods and exercise regularly. Try to lose weight if you are overweight. Being too heavy will weaken the muscles that help you stop urinating.
Drink plenty of water:
Do not drink anything 2 to 4 hours before going to bed. Be sure to empty your bladder before going to bed to help prevent urine leakage during the night.
Avoid foods and beverages that can make urine leakage worse. These include:
Eat more fiber in your diet, or take fiber supplements to prevent constipation.
Tips when you exercise:
Some activities may increase leakage for some people. NOT doing these things may help:
Ask your doctor or nurse about things you can do to ignore urges to pass urine. After a few weeks, you should leak urine less often.
Train your bladder to wait a longer time between trips to the toilet.
Urinate at set times -- even if you do not feel the urge. Schedule yourself for every 2 to 4 hours.
Empty your bladder all the way. After you go once, go again a few minutes later.
Ask your doctor about drugs that may help.

What started as a small rummage sale in his front yard to benefit the ALS Association two years ago has gotten so big that it has an official sponsor and a new location.
The third annual Tonnage of Rummage ALS Yard Sale takes place from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 13 at Sims Legion Park, Marietta Street, Gastonia.
The fundraiser was started by Brad Lowe in memory of his late mom who battled Lou Gehrig's disease. Last year the Gastonia Grizzlies stepped up to the plate to help out.
This year, the team took things a step further, offering to host sale at Sims Park, a sign of just how big this fundraiser has become.
In addition to finding a bargain, you can buy breakfast and lunch and there will be live music.
And if you've got some stuff you've been thinking about selling you can rent space. A 14 by 14-foot spot costs $20 and you can get two spots for $35. You can make a reservation by calling 704-866-8622. Vendors must be set up by 6:30 a.m. and all unsold items must be taken home or donated to an attending nonprofit.
The event is hosted by Hope's Heroes, a walk team for the ALS Association.
You can get more information by emailing Emily at firstname.lastname@example.com
ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.
You can learn more about the disease by visiting www.alsa.org.
The Gastonia-based band Darrell and Sonshyne will be joined by a mother-daughter duo for a special performance from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Jackson's Cafeteria, 1454 E. Franklin Blvd., Gastonia.

The performance is free.

Right now there are a few of these threads going on.VOS I posted this in another thread:
So I got a new DirecTV install. I've got an HR34 in the living room and two H25-100s in bedrooms. It's connected via DECA/Cinema Connect kit. I keep having this rather infuriating problem where one or both of the H25s randomly will be unable to play content from the HR34. Generally when it does this I can hit "try again" 2-12 times and it will finally work.
I haven't called DTV yet. I was saving that as a last resort. Any ideas?

I don't see anything that should be a concern in your photos.I've attached the Mesh Screen along with the other screens you mentioned.
Everything was working correctly when I just took these pictures. I had just rebooted the SWM16 a few hours before because MRV wasn't working when I woke up.
I'll make sure to check these screens again when MRV stops working again.
Thanks for your help !!

It will become part but will also be running through your router for this, so you need [and may have] a BB DECA or CCK.VOS, I currently have WHDVR set up with 4 HR2x HD DVRs with DECA/SWM8. I also have an old R10 DirecTiVo that I want to replace with another HR2x. The R10's two tuners are being fed from a WB68 that runs in parallel with my SWM8 so if I just swap out the R10 for an HR2x and connect an ethernet cable to it that I already have at that location which runs back to my router, will it become part of my WHDVR network? Thanks.

It still sounds like the BB DECA isn't talking to your router.VOS, I asked this question just before Christmas and you did respond . I am sorry I have been unable to address it it until now. Your questions were
1. Does the BB Deca have all three green LEDs?
Yes all three are lit and the network light occasionally flashes.
2. Is the cat5/6 cable good?
Yes I have swapped out with cables working correctly on other devices with no success.
----Internet Connection Help
I am currently in need of some help getting my boxes connected to the internet.
3 H25s
SWM3 single wire to 8 way splitter
Each H25 connected directly to splitter
4th coax from splitter to Power Inserter out of PI to two way splitter (Green SWM label 2-210 mHz - Coax 1 from two way directly to HR-34. Coax 2 from splitter into coax port of Black Broadband DECA box. Cat 5/6 from Deca box into router.
The Deca network seems to be working fine as all three H25s see the HR34 and can play, trickplay, delete, set recordings etc.
The problem is I can't get connected to my network and thus the internet.
Automatic setup results in no internet access, result code 86-792, the HR34 showing an ip address of 169.XXX.XXX.XXX and the subnet mask set to 255.255.0.0
Advanced setup, setting the ip statically (within allowable range but well away from DHCP leases), setting the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and setting the default gateway and DNS server to the correct addresses still results in not connected and result code 86-792 ---

Posted 17 January 2012 - 09:34 AM
It does on all but the HR34.Thanks! I'll give that a shot when I get home today. I was about to try that last night but wasn't sure if plugging in ethernet port would disable the WHDVR.
