Information for refugee hosts (FAQs)

Refugee Hosts: To register to host refugees in your home, go here. If this link is not working then please complete the standalone version.
Caseworkers: wishing to apply for an account to refer refugees, migrants or those claiming asylum who have no home plus no recourse to support/funds:  go here.

Responding to the Refugee Crisis

Today we’re seeing the biggest movement of people to Europe since the refugee crisis following World War II. If you’ve come to this site because you want to respond to what you’ve seen on the news, thank you.  Showing hospitality is one of the most practical and powerful ways you can respond. Many of those we’re trying to settle are from Syria. They’re also from Afghanistan, Iraq, Eritrea, Iran, and many other countries suffering war, human rights abuse and environmental catastrophe.

Room for Refugees (not to be confused with other schemes which may have less expertise and are only recently set up) has been working for 13 years to find shelter for men, women and children fleeing for their lives.

Please consider whether you can host and also help spread the word about us on social media.  You can like our facebook page here. or follow us on  Instagram Thank you.

Bringing hope of resolution to refugees

Room for Refugees  finds, selects and supports people willing to offer space in their own homes to people forced to seek refuge in the UK – those who are homeless and forbidden to work or claim state benefits.

We have placed well over 1,000 people, for anything from a week to several years. Hosts decide how long they can offer a room, according to their circumstances.

Room for Refugees’ aims are:

  • To provide safe accommodation for refugees pursuing their legal cases, who do not have the means to support themselves
  • To enable those moved by compassion and a sense of justice to want to offer space in their own homes to someone in need
  • To bring hosts together to make their communities refugee friendly

If you think you may be able to help by offering time, money or accommodation please email

Tell me about your charity?

Positive Action in Housing is a registered charity and has been around for 20 years. (To find out more, see the About Us section of this website).

In 2003 we responded to the problem of destitution by pioneering a refugee hosting scheme . The scheme provides short to medium term emergency and humanitarian relief.

The overall purpose is to intervene in the process towards destitution in order to improve the long term prospects of assisting refugees to secure a permanent, safe, warm home with a positive and independent future.

What is Room for Refugees?

It is the name of our refugee hosting scheme. The scheme began in response to the increasing numbers of destitute refugees coming to our drop in surgeries. They were being left without basic human needs e.g. food, shelter, financial means, emergency hostels, the right to work and recourse to public funds. This problem of enforced destitution as a way of forcing people to leave the UK is not working. More and more refugees are being left destitute. We want to prevent vulnerable people from being forced to return to unsafe countries due to the dire situations they found themselves in.

Room for Refugees went viral in September 2015 following the Syrian Refugee Crisis coming to the attention of the EU. It is fully operational. It makes a difference by giving vulnerable people the breathing space to assess their options and secure the support needed to gain a positive decision on their asylum claim or be granted ‘Leave to Remain’.

Click here for the latest statistics on Room for Refugees, including the numbers of hosts, casework organisations, and the number of nights of shelter provided.

We have hundreds of U.S. hosts and plan to expand the scheme to Ireland, France and the U.S.

How do you find the people in need of help?

We meet people in person at our drop in surgeries. We also accept referrals from refugee organisations, local authorities and caseworkers all over the UK. These include the British Red Cross and the Refugee Council.

How do you match guests and hosts?

Based on the information provided by hosts, we use our own pioneering online system, based on 13 years safe hosting experience, to ensure hosts and guests are well matched. Our system will filter potential hosts and we will then contact potential guests out of the thousands on our database. We take into account the household composition of hosts and the local connections of the person needing refuge, e.g. GP, College, Reporting requirements.

 Safety is a key consideration in order to minimise risk and we reserve the right to de-register hosts or decline hosting guests at any time during the screening process.

How does Room for Refugees work?

First you register online as a refugee host.

When a suitable placement comes up, we will risk check and filter out hosts who safely match the guest in the desired areas. If your name comes up as a potential match we will email you. At this point you will have the opportunity to tell us whether you have availability. We will never pressure you to take a guest.

If you can take someone, the caseworker will contact you to discuss the situation and if appropriate you may be able to meet them first. Occasionally in an emergency this is not possible. The caseworker will provide as much information as they can, including language and dietary requirements.

A hosting agreement is then drawn up to ensure that time frames and other arrangements are made very clear. This is signed by all parties. The guest is also given a code of conduct to make sure your home is respected.

The hosting can then commence for a fixed time period. We usually set hosting at a minimum of one month with a week’s trial and this can then continue if you are all agreed. We will provide you will access to support and the caseworker throughout the process and ongoing into the hosting period.

What is the ideal match?

The best experience for all tends to be where you have a stable home and the physical and emotional availability to host someone.

If you are interested in becoming a host to someone in the near future please complete the online application at the top of this page.Please also drop an email to stating your availability and how long you could potentially host if the arrangement worked well. We will then add you to our reserve list and contact you should a suitable match arise.

How safe is the scheme?

To minimise risk, we follow safety checks with potential hosts. There may be additional risk checks by the caseworker depending on how vulnerable the potential guest is, for example where young people or children are involved.

Example: In December 2015, we asked the Social Work Department of a London borough to carry out their own checks to satisfy themselves that our host was suitable to accommodate their client who was pregnant and had a young child.

In working with caseworkers, we will accommodate additional safety checks. We will request evidence such as references, DBS/CRB/PVG checks and ID.
We also ask for photographs of the host, the guest and their home/bedroom. Images of hosts and guests are for our records only and will never be published without your permission. (We also like to see who we helped host and it gives our staff a lot of satisfaction to know we were able to help). We will disclose relevant information about guests to hosts, and vice versa, in strictest confidence.

Hosting is an entirely voluntary arrangement between you and your guest, we cannot take responsibility for issues that arise. However, problems are rare and we are always available and work hard to resolve any that do arise quickly.

Remember, safe and successful hosting depends on following procedures and having open and regular communication between guest, host and caseworker.

What kind of feedback has the scheme got so far?

The feedback so far suggests that the majority of hosts find the experience personally enriching and rewarding.

They have the opportunity to provide stability to someone in a difficult stage in their journey to refuge and independence.They also have the opportunity to share their empty rooms or homes and material wealth, and gain emotional well being and a deep sense of satisfaction in the process.

Our guests appreciate the help given and often form lifelong friendships with their hosts. In the near future, we intend to expand the scheme to Western Europe and the U.S. where there is growing demand for the scheme as a force for good.

Can I choose who I host?

We select hosts using a filtering system and identify suitable matches based on your preferences. We work hard to match the needs of hosts and guests, and will always respect the wishes of both parties. For example, many women clients prefer to stay with other women and most female volunteers would rather host women. We also have hosts who are happy to share their living space with men and families. For safety reasons we will restrict who we ask you to accommodate, even if you have alternative preferences. Ultimately, it is up to you who you welcome as a guest. We provide the opportunities for safe hosting.

But i feel nervous!

Please be reassured that we have almost 13 years’ experience and expertise in making this work. If you feel nervous about hosting, please drop us an email at or speak to the caseworker and we will listen to your concerns and reassure you.
The caseworker for your guest will stay in touch with you to ensure you feel supported and the arrangements are running smoothly. You are more than welcome to get in touch with us and our experienced caseworkers are available if you have questions. Feel free to email

How do you decide where to place someone in need of help?

It depends on their connection with a local area and whether their needs match our hosts. We also take into account the household composition of hosts to get the best match. Safety is a key consideration in order to minimise risk and we do reject some potential hosts and guests.

How long will my guest stay with me/us?

We ask our hosts to offer a minimum of one month’s hosting, with a week’s trial to see how things work out.

At no point in the hosting process will we pressure you to keep someone. We understand that for whatever reason it may not be convenient to host someone at certain times of the year or different occasions so we will fit around your schedule. Sometimes things do not work out and our guests are made aware of this.

Circumstances also change and this is perfectly understandable.
Before proceeding with hosting, you will sign a hosting agreement detailing the length of stay, arrangements for food and other mutually agreed terms. This will also be signed by the guest and their caseworker.

What support will the person need?

Each person is different. Caseworkers may provide the client with a small amount of money or refer them to food banks. We ask that you share basic food items (e.g. bread, butter, milk) with your guest but please do not feel under pressure to do this. Please also let us know if you feel there is a need for extra support, financial or otherwise. You are not expected to be with them all the time. In an ideal arrangement both the volunteer and guest go about their own daily business with relative independence. Any additional support you want to provide is up to you.

What if they don’t speak English?

Most clients do speak English but if not we can introduce you with an interpreter. This is not always possible as we often find out about destitute clients at very short notice. We would at the very least provide you with an interpreter’s phone number in case of any difficulty.

Google Translate is available as a brilliant app that you can download to your smartphone to help smooth communications on a day to day basis.

What if we don’t get on?

This rarely happens. We are, of course, on hand to resolve things quickly if you have any difficulty and the initial week’s trial is a safety net for any issues that might crop up.

I am thinking of offering a room but am worried about giving access to my home to a completely unknown person without any understanding of what checks have been made re their honesty, mental health etc. How do you assess suitability for placement?

The caseworkers who refer into our organisation know the clients very well and they make the recommendations. In some cases we do reject a client (or host) as unsuitable for placement with the scheme, in order to minimise risk. Remember, the person is a guest in your home so you would take the usual precautions as for any new guest. Generally, we experience very few problems but if you are overly nervous or worried then perhaps hosting is not for you. However, our experience tells us that as long as we carefully match and minimise risk then most times everything will go well.

Do I take my guest out of the house when i go out?

No. We ask for dignity, mutual respect and trust. Our guests are aware that they are guests in your home, and that there should be minimum disruption to your schedule. Likewise, we ask our hosts to understand the situation of guests. If you are not comfortable with such an arrangement then it is best not to host someone.

How long will the person stay?

This is always a temporary arrangement, although in a few cases people have stayed for several months or years. After the initial month the caseworker will try to find the person somewhere else to stay. If the client’s government support application takes longer than expected, the caseworker may ask you to host for an additional few days. If you are unable to we will try to find alternative accommodation. In some cases you may be happy to have your guest stay with you longer, and that is fine with us too.

“We worry that our guest is perhaps too quiet and keeps too much to himself. He sits on his own a lot, and takes a lot of persuading to join us for meals. We would love him to open up more.”

We get many hosts telling us that their guest is a little reserved. We ask guests about this , the answer we tend to get is that the person doesn’t want to impose more on your home life than they already are. Part of it is guilt at the imposition as the word guest doesn’t adequately describe the arrangement, and part of it is sadness as they also once had a family life. The other reason often given is that they don’t want to get used to your kindness because of an uncertain future. All complex and poignant reasons and hard to untangle when the first priority is shelter and basic food is met.

Okay, I signed up. When will you offer me a guest?

Once someone is referred to us and is in need, we may contact you if our system identifies you as a suitable match. And then we will get in touch and check your availability and commence further screening.

Some of our hosts have asked why we have not contacted them soon after they register. This is because we have not yet found a suitable match for you. We are building a database to ensure that all areas of the UK are covered so the scheme can continue to grow. The current refugee situation is with us for the foreseeable future and we always need more volunteers who are prepared to welcome people into their homes!

Paleo Jay's Smoothie Cafe #118 Where Should a Paleo Person Live?

pjsc 118  Where should a modern day Paleo person live?

I have been giving this a lot of thought, and actually, it seems so obvious to me!

I know there are hotbeds of “paleo aficianados” in pretty urban places, like NYC, and especially Austin Texas!  And God bless ‘em, I’m sure they are doing really great there, or at least as good as they can, and I wish them luck!

The problem is, I think that people tend to live in the past; that is, they idolize a “perfect time” in a certain place, and subconciously convince themselves that that time is now.

Like so many Woody Allen fans convince themselves, like he does, that New York City is the New York of the 1940’s... the city portrayed by the New York Times and the New Yorker magazine of that era...

Sorry, but it’s not even close anymore!  I came from Chicago, and the crime-ridden nightmare that that city has become is not even close to what it was in the 1950’s or 60’s- even the 70’s!!

I hate to sound the alarm, politically incorrect as it is, but someone has to say “the Emperor has no clothes”!

Out BIG CITIES have become largely unlivable: racked with governmental corruption, NO real police protection, and riddled with bad water, food deserts, and no contact with real Nature anymore for any of the residents!

Light pollution, noise pollution, traffic pollution, and just too many people pollution have ruined our big cities!

And our suburbs!  Our suburbs ringed about major cities are elitist places nowadays, obsessed with “big dollar high achievement at the expense of anything else”, and likewise an obsession with status and money, since nowadays that is what it takes to remain in the suburbs.  The nice ones, that is.  The ones that retain some semblance of normal American values, that try to emulate some semblance of real, small town values...

God bless the suburbs, but they are fighting a losing battle against the over-the-top corruption and crime of the big cities all around them!  They are fast turning into Gated Communities, hoping to retain their character.  Big, top down government will NOT allow that to continue.  Besides, the cost of admission via housing costs is prohibitive to anyone with a normal job!

So where should a Paleo type of person live??

A smaller city (less than 500,000 people) is ok, but the ideal is to live outside of a small town, or small city of 50,000 or so.

In my opinion, this is ideal.  In the ancient Greek city-states, like Athens and Sparta, this was the average size of a “polis”, meaning a citizenship or body of citizens.  Anything more becomes unmanageable!  In communities of this size, every person still matters, and has a real voice.

So, pick out a small town, outside of a small city!  Or, if you are more urban minded, you can live right IN that small city!!  Cities of that size are kind of “small towns” in and of themselves, in this day and age.

The water will be better!  If you live outside of the city, you can rely on well water, which will be vastly better!

The light pollution can be very little indeed, giving you wonderful sleep, without needing blackout curtains.  And the noise pollution will be virtually non-existent.

You will be able to afford a large acreage to live in (avoid “developments”!, which will give you an area in which to “forest bathe”, and simply to have wonderful privacy for your family and yourself to exercise outside, and expose yourself to the sunshine and the Vitamin D without anyone staring like an idiot with disapproval that you aren’t wearing sun screen...

You will be able to grow a large garden, digging in the pro-biotic rich earth, and reinforcing your gut microbes daily, as you run, walk, and spring around your yard barefoot!  You can have chickens for their eggs and meat if you want, and there will definitely be a farmer or rancher close by that you can befriend and have a relationship to gain real, fertile eggs (I you don’t have your own), and pastured beef, pork, and poultry!)  This is in and of itself invaluable!

Above all, you will have divorced yourself from the opinions of idiots.

In big cities especially, but also in suburbs as well, you are inundated with liberal, Big Government ideas.  What I mean by this is, the pervasive ideals that none of us can do things on our own, we need Big Government to tell us what to do, since most of us are so stupid and inept!

Nothing could be further from the truth!!

Big, Federal Government is the problem, not the solution!  We need to go “Back to the Future”- the original  promise of the American Revolution, which said that Each citizen should decide how the  country is run- NOT the Federal Government!

Small government, local government should rule.  The voice of your neighbors, local voices, people you know and deal with are the ones to determine how things should be done!  NOT big bureaucrats, that have self serving agendas.

America was a conservative revolution, originally.  The ONLY ONE in history, really!

It was called the “Protestant Experiment” back then.

It was wonderfully successful. So successful that many worldwide want to bring us down!  (Jealousy is a terrible thing).

We are on the verge of losing all of our success.  The days of Andy Griffith and small town Americana are struggling against a Federal intrusion agenda that threatens to destroy our health, our wellness, and our way of life!

Vote with your feet!!

Just as people did in the last days of Rome, when the big government corruption was destroying the empire-

Leave ROME!  Find a home well outside of the big cities, and create your own paleo friendly GARDEN!

Be like Maximus, in The Gladiator movie!  As he moved out to Spain, building an estate there...

You can move to the Midwest, or the South or the West...
And build your own estate!  Far from Rome!!

Track: Reinholdt breaks school record in triple jump

Lion senior Kylie Reinholdt snapped her own mark in the triple jump at Liberty High School on Wednesday, setting a new school record at 36 feet, 2.75 inches

by: FILE PHOTO - Senior Kylie Reinholdt, pictured at the 2013 OSAA state championships in Eugene, snapped her own school record in the triple jump on Wednesday.It might have been their only first-place finish on the girls' side at Liberty High School, but for St. Helens, it was a special one.

Senior Kylie Reinholdt, who set the school record in the triple-jump in 2012, leapt 36 feet, 2.75 inches, besting her own record by three quarters of an inch and jumping into the top-10 for this season in the state of Oregon across all six divisions.

She's second in the standings behind Summit's Miranda Brown, who jumped 36-6 on April 26 and won the heptathlon (eight events) at the Sweet Home Invitational on March 29. The pair will likely battle for the state title, which will be decided on May 23 and 24 at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Reinholdt also finished third in the high jump, tying her season record at 5-10 and coming in two inches ahead of fellow senior Alyssa Holz. The pair were the only two that broke into the top four at the meet, which was dominated by Liberty, with Sherwood coming in a distant second.

Outside of a few highlight performances, it wasn't a meet chalk full of PRs for the St. Helens girls.

The 4x100 team of Sydney Nett, Reinholdt, Lillianna Shriver and Nicole Harcourt performed well, running their second-fastest time of the season at 53.58 and running sub 53.6 for the second meet in a row.

The Lions also saw considerable improvement from sophomore Genesis Hansen, who set new personal bests in both the 100 meter and 300 meter hurdles.

Freshman Genny Luttrell also grew leaps and bounds, putting up career best times in the 800 and 1,500 meter races.

Holtz improved by nearly half a second in her 100 meter time to take fifth, the highest place among the St. Helens girls' contingent, which saw a new lifetime PR from freshman Lillianna Shriver in the 200 meters to take seventh with a time of 28.99. Shriver's effort puts her in second behind Harcourt in the 200 this season, but the freshman is less than a second away from overtaking for the top spot and cut more than a second off her previous time from mid-April.

The boys’ team, though they too were outmatched by Sandy, Sherwood and Liberty, had two individual winners and nine place in the top three.

Senior Gage Bumgardner set a new personal best in the triple-jump at 39-6.5 for first place, also setting a new PR in the long jump with a leap of 18 feet, 7.5 inches to finish fifth.

Fellow senior Thomas Hughes raced out for a new career-best mark in the 110 meter hurdles, winning the event in 15.19 seconds. He's now less than half a second away from the school record of 14.74, set back in 1993 by Jeff Price.

That wasn't the only success for Hughes at the meet. For the first time this season, he entered in the 200 after running the event just once in his previous three seasons. He took third, running a career-best 23.43 and jumping to the top of the list for St. Helens athletes this year.

The athlete he bumped, senior Tanner Long, didn't have a bad meet either. His 100 meters mark of 11.73 is a new personal best and leads Hughes by less than a tenth of a second.

The top name in the throws for St. Helens, senior Jacob Zartman, hasn't quite made it back to the level the Lions saw on April 25 when Zartman exploded for a shot put mark of 50-3.25, but his throw of 46-7 was still enough to garner a second place finish at Liberty.

Up next for St. Helens are the junior varsity districts, held at Sherwood High School on Friday, May 9. The varsity team will head to the first day of the Northwest Oregon Conference championships at Sandy High School on Thursday, May 15 at Sandy High School, with the finals finishing up on the following day.

Finding Early Season Family Ski Deals

Visit Colorado

For families who love to hit the slopes, October marks the unofficial countdown to ski season, as well as the official watch for early-season travel deals to resorts across North America.

I know, with virtually no snow anywhere in the contiguous U.S., it might seem crazy to contemplate booking ski vacations during the Major League Baseball playoffs. Trust me, though—there are some killer deals out there, and if you want to save big bucks, now is the time to strike.

Take the “Pre-Season Sales Event” at Okemo Mountain Resort in Ludlow, Vermont. Travelers who book lodging on or before Oct. 15 receive 20 percent off.

Through the “Ski Free & Stay Free At Last Year’s Prices” promotion at Heavenly Mountain Resort, in South Lake Tahoe, California, families (and everyone else) who book anywhere from four to 10 nights before Oct. 15 get one night of lodging and one day of skiing free.

Finally, north of the border, at various ski resorts in Whistler, Canada, lodging deals booked on or before Nov. 15 can save travelers up to 30 percent (and most include lift tickets, too).

(Good deals are available at resorts in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Utah, too.)

Before you go out and book a trip for your family, it’s important to scan the fine-print for some important stuff:

  • Blackout dates. No matter how early you book, package deals at most resorts still aren’t available during holidays and other popular times to travel. Be aware of this before you book, as it can cause you significant disappointment at the point of purchase.
  • Lodging limits. Some resorts restrict the number of people you can have in one room under a package deal; if you’ve got more than the requisite number, they make you pay a surcharge per person. At some places, this surcharge starts for family members ages 12 and up. At others, however, you’ll have to pony up for any children over the age of 6.
  • Extras. Most package deals don’t include rentals. Alternatively, some early-bird packages might include meal vouchers for food at certain resort-owned eateries. It always pays to call ahead and ask.

Finally, if your kids are under the age of 10, it may be wise to book your trip at a resort known for being kid-friendly. This way, when the little ones tire of the slopes, there are ski schools, terrain parks, snow-tubing and other diversions to keep everyone happy. Happy skiing!

Just (Legally) Married!

Last March, I wrote a story for Parenting in which I relayed my own experiences as a gay mom and posited that same-sex parents are creating the “new normal” families of today (“Meet the Same-Sex Parents Next Door”). Hundreds of people weighed in online and the piece was even mentioned on the New York Times website. But despite some negative comments and a few cancelled Parenting subscriptions, I’ve always felt—and continue to feel—that our family is accepted and welcomed socially by our community and country. Legally, though, it’s been a different story.

Emily and I threw a wedding back in 2005. Emily’s brother and our brothers-in-law held up the chuppa, our nieces were flower girls, we signed a ketubah (a Jewish marriage contract), and we were toasted by our parents, siblings, and friends. But the ceremony did nothing to bind us legally. We still had to check the “single” status on any official form. And when we had our twin boys, we had to jump through many legal hoops to ensure that our family would be protected in the event of an emergency.

Plus: Could Your Child Be Gay?

But this past June, New York became the sixth state to legalize gay marriage, and Emily and I knew we would make it official. A few weeks ago, we all got dressed up and headed to Brooklyn City Hall. We waited in a long line with a dozen other brides and grooms, paid $25, and were pronounced married by a man appropriately named Angel.

Plus: Books About Modern Families: Explaining Gay Parents, Adoption & More

Did it feel monumental? Not really. Did I feel different afterwards? Nope. Did the boys give a crap? Not at all (they climbed on the pulpit and begged to leave throughout the 3-minute ceremony; they’re only 4, after all). Emily and I have been married in our hearts and minds and the hearts and minds of our family and friends for almost 7 years, so having a flimsy piece of paper that says it didn’t evoke too much emotion.

Plus: Gay Parents More Accepted Than Single Moms

But that piece of paper IS a big deal. More than the rights it grants to Emily and me (though the hundreds of dollars a month we’re now saving in state taxes and health insurance each month doesn’t hurt!), my sons deserve to know that the love that created their family is legitimate, recognized, and honored. They may not appreciate it yet, but they will.

Report: There’s No Equality for Same-Sex Couples in the U.S. Military

Don't Ask, Don't Tell might be a thing of the past, but we've got a ways to go

gays in the military

While more states have started to practice marriage equality this year, our society continues to play catch up with other changing policies and laws about same-sex couples. This is especially true in the U.S. military, even after the draconian law of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) was repealed in 2010.

DADT made it nigh to impossible to be an out-LGBTQ military service personnel and not face discharge, either honorable or dishonorable. With the repeal of DADT, LGBTQ individuals and couples began coming out of their closets, living openly in military service to our country, with little to no fear of recrimination. There have been beautiful photographs taken of individuals in military dress kissing their same-sex spouse or partner, with their children hugging the embracing couple.

While the federal law has changed in terms of military service, some ancillary groups have yet to change policies that have caused great consternation and heartache among many couples. In other words, there is more work to be done. We only find out about the old rules that need to be changed as people bump up against them.

This was brought to the forefront recently when Ashley Broadway, wife of Lt. Col. Heather Mack, was initially denied membership in the Association of (Ft) Bragg Officers’ Spouses group (ABOS) because she was in a same-sex relationship with Lt. Col. Mack (even though ABOS declares they are supportive of all military families). The by-laws of ABOS had not been reviewed and “updated” to include military spouses in same-sex couples. As a compromise, they offered Ashley Broadway a “guest membership,” even though she is a military spouse. The U.S. Army defended ABOS’ decision to exclude Broadway, citing that ABOS is “not in violation of federal discrimination laws because federal discrimination laws don’t extend to sexual orientation.” They are legally correct: employers can discriminate against LGBTQ employees, simply based upon their sexual orientation. However, the U.S. Marines took a different stance last week, telling any ancillary group that denies someone membership based on sexual orientation to either shape up or ship out.

The lesson from this story? Equality will come about by knocking down one obstacle after another until all the obstacles, hurdles, fences, and walls are knocked down.

7 years ago: IVF hypocrisy 2.0

August 24, 2006, on this blog: IVF hypocrisy 2.0

You can approve of both embryonic stem-cell research and IVF clinics, or you can disapprove of both. But you cannot, as President Bush does, condemn the former while embracing the latter. The logic of Bush’s YMOTHF* argument against stem-cell research demands an even stronger opposition to fertility clinics. The logic of Bush’s sanguine acceptance of fertility clinics demands an even stronger affirmation of embryonic stem-cell research.

2010 Tour de France – Stage 12 Wrap-Up

2010 Tour de France - Rodriguez Wins Stage 12

Fotoreporter Sirotti

Here’s the question of the day: was it worth it Alberto?

In my humble opinion, yes and no.  Yes, because Contador’s attack in the middle of the Cote de la Croix-Neuve, gapped Andy Schleck, earning Contador ten seconds, but more importantly sending a message to the Luxembourger wearing yellow: “I’m faster than you are.”

On the other hand, Contador’s attack also closed the gap to his (fading) teammate, Alexandre Vinokourov.  For many, it was an interesting reversal of fortune as Vino has been accused on more than one occasion in this year’s Tour of not being a team player.  For others, it was more of the same from a rider (Contador) who showed us last year that he attacks with little thought of his team.  Vinokourov banged his handlebars as he crossed the line in third today; perhaps mad at himself for fading near the top of the climb, or perhaps angered that his teammate couldn’t have left the day’s spoils to him.

It will be interesting to see how today’s events manifest themselves in the Pyrenees.  A yellow jersey for Contador in Paris is certainly more important than a stage win in Mende for Vino—but one wonders if the former could have been accomplished with the latter.

What else did we notice?

1. Jose Joaquin Rodriguez won the stage, the first for Katusha in this year’s Tour and confirmation that Rodriguez is one of the fastest riders in the peloton on hillier days.  He now sits 8th overall and has to be watched as the Tour hits the Pyrenees.

2. As for Andy Schleck, he seemed caught off-guard by Contador’s attack.  He was almost certainly told by his director not to go too deep in chasing Alberto—the climb was too short to generate and serious gaps.  But the seeds of doubt have been planted—Andy will spend the night and next day wondering just how strong Contador really is.  On Sunday, he’ll likely get his answer.

2010 Tour de France - Van den Broeck in Stage 12

Fotoreporter Sirotti

3. Belgium’s Jurgen Van den Broeck, rode a fantastic finale, dragging the peloton up the first half of the Col, and then initially following Rodriguez’s acceleration before ultimately succumbing to Contador’s counter.  At this point in the race, VDB2 might need to be told to ride a bit more conservatively, lest his ambition get the best of him over the next several days.  I would have him following wheels in the first few days in the Pyrenees, riding himself as high as possible before Thursday’s finish atop the Tourmalet.  Then it’s all systems go!

4. Samuel Sanchez looks to be the best of the contenders for third place behind Schleck and Contador.  He’s ridden aggressively and attentively, covering moves with little apparent difficulty.  Does he have a Pyrenean stage win in his legs?

5. And how about Denis Menchov? He lurks silently in fourth, only a handful of seconds behind Sanchez.  With a solid week in the Pyrenees, Menchov could use the final TT to put himself on the podium.  And with Robert Gesink positioned slightly below and riding well, Rabobank has a tactical advantage few teams can match.

6. And speaking of tactical advantages, Roman Kreuziger hopped over his teammate, Ivan Basso, to put himself back inside the top-10.  Here’s hoping the duo has the power to animate in the Pyrenees.  A stage win for either would be a welcome sight.

Two final notes:

2010 Tour de France - Vansummeren in Stage 12

Fotoreporter Sirotti

7. Garmin’s Tyler Farrar abandoned the Tour today, adding insult to injury for a team that already lost Christian Vandevelde and Robbie Hunter.  Too bad for men in argyle, as Farrar came to the Tour with high hopes of scoring the team its first stage win.  The pressure is now left to Ryder Hesjedal, Martijn Maaskant, and Johan Vansummeren in breakaways, and David Zabriskie in the final TT.  My money’s on Vansummeren—possibly as soon as tomorrow.

2010 Tour de France - Armstrong After Stage 12

Fotoreporter Sirotti

8. Radio Shack’s Lance Armstrong quietly lost more time today, then declared how hard the day was on Twitter.  Look for Lance to go on the attack for a stage soon.  Tomorrow might be an option for him as well, but I think Tuesday’s a better bet.

And you? What are your bets for the weekend ahead?  Share them with your thoughts, comments, and questions below.

About Whit

My experiences might easily fit many cycling fans' definitions of “living the dream.” Since getting hooked on the sport watching Lance Armstrong win the 1993 U.S. Pro Championship, I've raced as an amateur on Belgian cobbles, traveled Europe to help build a European pro team, and piloted that team from Malaysia to Mont Ventoux. As a former assistant director sportif with Mercury-Viatel, I've also seen the less dreamy side of the sport – the side rife with broken contracts, infighting, and positive dope tests. These days, I live with my lovely wife in Pennsylvania and share my experiences and views on the sport at Bicycling Magazine, the Embrocation Cycling Journal, and at my own site, Pavé.

  1. Michael says:

    Do you think there is any weight to comment 18 here:

    I would be really interested to hear your perspective.

    • Whit says:

      Hi Michael.

      That’s an interesting comment for sure. After Lance lost time last Sunday, Radio Shack said publicly that it was now riding for Levi. But then we promptly saw Paulinho in a breakaway on Stage 10 and Kloden off the front today. Even more interesting have been Chris Horner’s comments–he seems to think winning stages is more important than trying to get 5th or 6th on GC.

      That said, Paulinho and Kloden’s breakaways have done little to hurt Levi’s chances. Levi’s always done better following wheels and has frequently scored high results with little to no help.

      So while I wouldn’t necessarily say there’s outright division, I think we’re seeing the rest of Radio Shack’s men trying to take their chances when they present themselves. Lance will certainly do the same at one point. This is a team that is clearly struggling for identity now that Lance is out of contention.

      Thanks for the comment!

  2. Michael C says:

    No mention of our friend Hesjedal? Gutsy attempt, if only more GC riders had the testicular fortitude to attempt a long one the race would be more animated.

    I very much dislike everyone keeping their powder dry for the Pyrenees when they all know that Schleck and Contador are the 2 best climbers in this race thus far.

    Chapeau Monsieur Hesjedal!

    • Whit says:

      You’re right, Michael C. Ryder deserves credit for another gutsy ride. After spending all day in the break–again–he hung ion there to finish near the front–again. Let’s hope he can recover in time to make another move next week. Could Tuesday be a day for him as well?

  3. Michael says:

    Thanks Whit. I sure does seem like they are looking for their new roles and testing the waters with what they can get away with. Watching Horner’s video blog on VN everyday, his comments never match up with printed reports or what ends up happening in the stage. Thanks for the perspective you offer up.

  4. ml says:

    With respect to the RS discussion, I don’t see the actions indicating anything other than a reasonable team plan…don’t forget that winning the team prize was also part of Plan B and they do that by putting men in the breaks, like Paulinho and Kloden. And with Kloden’s ride yesterday, RS moved past Caisse to lead the team comp. Supporting Levi for a 6th place isn’t the same thing as supporting someone to win the Tour. If Levi pulls out something special in the early days of the Pyranees and is contention for top 3, then I would expect to see the support in the later stages of the race, and not just before the final climb.

    As I mentioned before, today will have some bitter memories for Lance, so we’ll see if that motivates him, or makes him wait for roads with happier memories.

  5. Hank says:

    If you look at Andy’s face post race you know those 10 seconds were worth a stage. In any case Rodriguez would likely have taken the stage. Until the yellow is securely in hand nothing else is important.

    LAst year, once he was secure in yellow Contador gave up a chance to add a historic mountain stage to his palmares to secure Lance a place on the podium. No one should be risking the yellow for a little free lancing. That has to wait until Contador has it locked up.

Religious Clashes in Western India Claim at Least 300 Lives

BY   March 1, 2002 at 1:30 AM EDT

In the latest spate of violence, Hindu attackers set fire to Muslim homes in Pandarvada, a small village in Gujarat, killing at least 30 Muslims.

The clashes push the death toll to 300, which makes the recent days’ bloodshed the worst in India for a decade.

The third day of violence, police said, entered a “new phase” in which gangs of Muslims and Hindus, armed with stones and knives, battled each other throughout Gujarat.

Nearly 900 soldiers have been sent to combat rioters in Ahmadabad, Gujarat’s main city. They have arrested around 1,200 rioters.

The religious violence ignited Wednesday when a group of Muslims set fire to a train carrying mostly Hindu nationalists, killing at least 58 people. The arson attack occurred in Godhra, a town about 30 miles from the scene of today’s violence. The victims of Wednesday’s attack had been traveling from the holy site of Ayodhya, in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh.

Mobs of Hindu rioters sought revenge Thursday, targeting Muslim-owned homes and businesses. At least 65 Muslims were burned to death while asleep in their homes. The killings took place in a predominantly Muslim residential section of Ahmadabad.

Officials said today they feared violent retaliation for Wednesday’s train attack could spread to other states across India.

Some of Bombay’s commercial areas shut down today in response to the World Hindu Council’s call for a protest strike against the attack.

In a separate incident, two Muslims in Uttar Pradesh were killed in riots. And in Rajasthan, the state bordering Gujarat, police opened fire on a rioting crowd, killing a Hindu boy.

I use Adaptec 2210 USB capture device to get my VCR tapes onto my PC.
Adaptec 2210 comes complete with MyDVD 4.5 & Arcsoft editing software.
I've found the Adaptec equipment very good, but would suggest upgrading to the latest version of MyDVD (Version 6), and using Nero for editing instead of ArcSoft

Product Information for Kingston HyperX 3K 240 GB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

Highlights for Kingston HyperX 3K 240 GB 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive

  • SandForce controller technology
  • High-speed SATA Rev 3.0 transfer speeds
  • Incredible speeds for advanced gaming, multitasking, and multimedia computing power
  • Much less likely to fail than a standard hard drive
  • Shock-proof dropping your notebook no longer means losing your data
  • Cool and quiet runs silent and with no moving mechanical parts to generate heat
  • Uses NAND flash memory components
  • Supports S.M.A.R.T., TRIM, and garbage collection

Kingston's HyperX SSD combines the SandForce controller technology with premium NAND flash, reducing load times while increasing performance and endurance. It provides high-speed SATA Rev 3.0 transfer speeds for larger bandwidth, which power users require for advanced gaming, multitasking and multimedia computing power. Kingston's HyperX SSD lets users load games and applications faster, increase frames per second (FPS) and quickly transfer and edit large media files. It's cool, silent and requires less power and no additional cooling requirements.

When configuring the HyperX SSD partition, the user can choose between having the maximum available capacity for data storage or giving up a little space to increase performance and endurance. This additional space is called over provisioning on an SSD. The amount of performance and endurance increase depends upon the type of data being stored on the HyperX SSD. The more data that is MPEG, JPG, ZIP or ARC file types, the greater the benefit for this increased over provisioning.

HyperX SSD uses an advanced wear leveling technology that distributes writes evenly across all the flash blocks in the SSD to maximize overall drive endurance. Additionally, wear leveling ensures that the individual flash memory blocks are consumed at a very balanced rate, not to exceed a 2-percent difference between the most often written blocks and least written. This enables the HyperX SSD to provide the longest possible life for the user while maintaining optimal performance.

Samsung Launches Low-Cost Android 4.0 Tablet

Samsung Electronics has launched the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), the first of its tablets to ship with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and its own Touchwiz user interface, the company said on Monday.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)
The latest addition to Samsung's tablet portfolio is powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor and has a 7-inch screen with a 1024-by-600 pixel resolution.

The tablet will cost about €270 (US$350) excluding taxes for the Wi-Fi version, according to a statement from Samsung in Sweden, which also says that it will start shipping in March.

Samsung will also sell a 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0), which can function as a phone and connects to the Internet using HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access) at 21mbps.

The tablet is 0.41 inches (10.5 millimeters) thick and weighs 0.75 pounds (344 grams), compared to the iPad 2, which is 0.34 inches (8.8 millimeters) thick and weighs 1.32 pounds (601 grams).

The specification also includes two cameras; 8, 16, or 32GB of integrated storage and MicroSD card slot; and a 4000 mAh battery that should last for up to 39 hours, according to Samsung.

With a lower price, Samsung hopes to attract a larger audience to its tablets. Sales of Android-based tablets more than tripled during the fourth quarter of 2011, but Apple still dominates the market, according to a recent report from Strategy Analytics. The Android camp had a 39.1 percent share of global tablet shipments, compared to 29 percent a year earlier. Apple's share dropped from 68.2 percent to 57.6 percent, according to Strategy Analytics.

Yahoo has no easy way to make consumers interested again

The next CEO of Yahoo has a tough job ahead of them -- finding new ways to get consumers excited about the ailing search engine

For Yahoo, firing Carol Bartz was easy -- Chairman Roy Bostock gave her the news over the phone -- but turning the company around under new leadership will be a lot harder.

Yahoo fired Bartz on Tuesday evening, two and a half years after she took the CEO spot from co-founder Jerry Yang. Bartz was brought in to pull Yahoo out of a nosedive, but a series of missteps left the board unhappy with her performance.

Today, Yahoo is a company with no clear identity, no flagship product and no hot prospects -- at least from a consumer perspective. So turning the company around looks just as daunting, if not more so, than it did when Bartz took over. Here's a breakdown:

Although search made Yahoo famous, it's no longer the company's main focus, with Microsoft's Bing now powering the back-end of searches. Whether the deal brings in lots of revenue is beside the point; with the success of Yahoo search tied to Microsoft, Yahoo essentially gave up on being a true competitor to Google.

Ceding the back end of search to Microsoft was supposed to free up Yahoo to focus on content, with Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, and Yahoo News. But, in recent years, Yahoo's been outdone by AOL, which gobbled up the Huffington Post and by TechCrunch. Yahoo's content sites remain popular, but the company hasn't made any other big moves in the last several years to become a content powerhouse. Its only notable editorial acquisition, Associated Content, has been targeted by Google in the search engine's purge of content farms.

Web Services

Yahoo's adventures in Web services have also taken a rough turn. Flickr's head of product stepped down earlier this year, following a wave of layoffs. YouTube's founders purchased Delicious after Yahoo said it no longer had use for the Web bookmarking service. Yahoo also axed a few of its own ventures: Yahoo Buzz, Yahoo Bookmarks, and Yahoo Picks. The company hasn't acquired any other hot Web services to fill the void. Yahoo Mail remains popular, but when was the last time anyone got really excited about email?

Web Video

Yahoo hasn't been a big player in Web video, but the company has reportedly taken an interest in buying Hulu. For Yahoo, Hulu would be a foot in the door in a fast-growing business, but the site isn't a big money maker, and it relies entirely on the whims of content owners, who are nervous about the possibility of online television replacing cable. Besides, with Amazon, the Dish Network, and Google also reportedly interested in Hulu, there's no guarantee that Yahoo would have the winning bid.

So, more than anything, Yahoo needs a clear vision of what kind of company it wants to be, because a mish-mash of old and decaying products won't cut it. Consumers now have a wealth of more-focused companies and services to choose from, including self-generated content behemoths like Facebook and Google+. Whoever succeeds Carol Bartz faces an unenviable task.

A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.

I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It’s seen better days though and an upgrade’s well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility’s there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.

Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!

For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I’m sure it will grow in time.

Sony PlayStation 4 gaming console finally hits stores

The $399.99 PS4 started shipping Friday in the U.S. and Canada

PlayStation 4 line outside Standard High Line hotel (2)

PlayStation 4 line outside Standard High Line hotel (2)

Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 4 gaming console is finally here.

The US$399.99 PS4 started shipping Friday in the U.S. and Canada and will be released in various other countries through December and in Japan in February. This is Sony's first new gaming console since 2006, when it started shipping the PlayStation 3.

The console's launch comes just a week ahead of Microsoft's Xbox One, which will ship on Nov. 22 for $499.99. Microsoft and Sony have been in a see-saw battle for dominance in the game-console market, with Nintendo being the third major competitor. The consoles also face indirect competition from mobile devices and gaming handhelds such as Nvidia's Shield.

Sony's PlayStation 4 is faster than its predecessor, and also is able to render more realistic graphics for a better gaming experience, according to Sony. It also provides a better streaming experience for online gaming and is better equipped for social networking. Users will be able to post game images and stream live gameplay video on social networking sites through the console and the "Share" button on the new DualShock 4 wireless controller.

The hardware has eight powerful x86 CPUs, code-named Jaguar, and graphics cores that deliver 1.84 teraflops of performance. Other features in the console include a 500GB hard drive and 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Sony has said that the PS4 has been "future-proofed" for up to a decade with the aim to give the console a longer shelf life.

The PS4 also has specialized hardware to speed up the delivery of online games. A remote play feature allows games to be transferred to the PlayStation Vita console, and Sony wants to make every PS4 game compatible with Vita in the future. Remote play features will also be available so games can be streamed from the PS4 to Android and iOS devices.

The game console is closely tied to the PlayStation Network (PSN), and users will be able to try games before they download them. Social networking sites including Facebook and Ustream have been integrated with the network. Users will be able to use an avatar or a real name to describe themselves.

There are about 180 games in development for the PlayStation, Sony said.

Steven Roberts, a resident of Queens, New York, can't wait to replace his PS3 with the PS4. He is a self-admitted PlayStation fanboy and Xbox hater.

Hardware improvements aside, he can't wait to play the new games that will be released with the new console. He was lined outside the Standard High Line hotel in New York City, where Sony sold a limited number of PS4 units.

"Watchdogs is definitely one for me," Roberts said.

Roberts also likes the improvements in online gaming, as he will be able to compete with more players simultaneously in shooters and other multiplayer games.

"I have PS3 right now, and there are like only 24 people online. With the PlayStation 4, it's 64 people online. That's insane," Roberts said.

The PS4 has improvements across-the-board on hardware and software, but the wireless features in PS4 are a disappointment for Miguel Estrada, who also lined up outside the Standard High Line hotel.

The PS4 has only 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, and not the latest 802.11ac wireless technology. Also, he said the PS4 doesn't work on the 5GHz Wi-Fi channel, which has caused to him to modify his home networking equipment.

As a pure gamer Estrada just wants the hardware, and the social networking features don't make a difference to him. He also lined up to buy the PS3.

"I just want to play games. I don't want to share videos or upload to Facebook," Estrada said. "I'm sure people don't want to know what trophy you got."

For Labor Day 2016, Inland residents have an improved economy over the past year, but are still behind their coastal neighbors in terms of income, education and working in the same county where they live.

There are more people employed than last year; a seasonal spike in July’s regional unemployment rate is expected to head down as summer-layoff education jobs restart for the school year.

Big layoff not a trend

Local officials were shocked by the announcement last month that Colton-based Ashley Furniture was moving operations out of state and discharged about 840 employees.

But while the move was high profile, it is not the trend some suggest. The state had 717,133 business establishments in 2008, and 889,646 in 2014, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

State called attractive

Other local manufacturers say there are more reasons to stay in California than leave, and numbers back them up – California’s $2.2 trillion gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2016 was up 4.7 percent from the same period of 2015.

It is the planet’s sixth-largest economy. “California is not competing against other states. California is competing against the rest of the world,” said Brook Taylorof the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development.

In fiscal 2016-17 the office’s tax-credit program called GO-Biz has allocated $243 million in tax credits for California companies to help them expand or add jobs.

But Still

“It’s tough. Wages are high, taxes are high. It’s tough,” Gary Tolar, founder and president of Tolar Industries in Corona, said in a recent interview. The company makes bus shelters.

“We have a good labor pool here ... we have to be as best and competitive as we can out here, keep our labor costs down as much as we can to compete with the companies in the Midwest and the East Coast. It’s not always easy.”

Nobody works nights

At Paulson Manufacturing in Temecula, which makes plastic shields and other protective gear used by medical teams as well as police and military forces, management struggles to keep an overnight shift populated by offering a bonus, and has split how its workforce is hired.

“Rising employee costs, workers’ comp and health benefit insurance increase every year,” said Miriam Mesina de Gutierrez, the company’s executive vice president.

Action for temp agency

“It’s mandatory, so we comply with the regulations,” she said. But to help meet the costs, about half the company’s workers are now hired through a temporary agency which separately handles those expenses.

While the $11-an-hour with a $120-a-month bonus for reliably showing up is not enough to keep some workers on the overnight shift, “we do get some skilled applicants, and there have been cases where employees will come in assembly or injection or molding and get promoted within 90 days,” she said.

Wanted: Jobs That Make A Difference

The Inland area does face a challenge regarding the kinds of jobs that are increasing in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, said Robert Kleinhenz, research director for the the Center for Economic Forecasting and Development at UC Riverside.

Lower-paying jobs such as food preparation and serving, transportation and material moving, production and office and administrative support and health care support dominate the workforce numbers.

Learn how to fine-tune your rough cut in Avid Media Composer 5, including moving a transition point between two shots, fine-tuning shot length, smoothing the continuity of movement from shot to shot, creating split edits, and editing the picture to a musical beat or establishing other relationships between picture and sound.
This chapter is from the book

Understanding Trimming

Trimming is probably the most important part of editing. Why? Well, anyone can string together shots in a sequence, but that doesn’t really make you an editor. Rather, it’s through trimming a sequence to affect timing and pacing that you breathe life into a scene. By choosing precisely where shots start and end, you have the ability to accelerate or relax the viewer’s heartbeat, change your audience’s perception of a character, clarify or mystify an action, and turn a good sequence into a great sequence.

The Importance of Handle

To understand trim, it’s good to first understand handle. Usually, when you mark a clip’s IN and OUT points, some part of the shot remains that you chose not to include. Handle is simply that extra, unused footage. In reality, however, all of this unused footage is still available to you.

Why would you ever want to include footage that “didn’t make the cut”? In the fine-tuning process, you often need to loosen or tighten shots, which means that you must add or remove frames. When doing so, it’s convenient to be able to access those frames that you did not edit into the rough cut.

Handle can come before or after the edit points that you set for a clip. Any part of the clip that exists before the shot used in the sequence is called incoming handle. Any part of the clip after the shot used in the sequence is called outgoing handle.
