If I want to embroider a cartoon character on a t-shirt for a young child - I was told this is illegal. I was also told it is fine as long as I'm not selling them. I know better then try to sell them but if this is a gift, how is this illegal?
What exactly would happen? Would they fine the parents if the child is wearing the t-shirt? I've never heard of this before (and haven't embroidered a cartoon character either). Please advise. Thanks!
Depends on what character and where you got it. If you have a Brother machine licensed for Disney then that fine. Or other characters that have been licensed for home embroidery use. All others would be illegal. However is a fine line when using it for yourself as you aren't profiting from it. But the person selling the illegal designs would definitely be in the wrong but it's happening so much I think most companies are just considering it advertisment. The companies that try and go after it are after the people selling stuff and making money off it. I guess in the end it's what you can live with. Anyone with digitizing software can make a design out of anything so there is some gray area with this. At least I've always thought so.
I'm not a lawyer , so take it for what it's worth. This topic is one that interests me.
First, I agree with quiltingwolf about the design you use. If you've bought the design, then yes, you have to have bought it from a licensed designer. A number of years ago the Wall Street Journal wrote about companies going after individuals who had bought unlicensed designs -- and, I believe, selling them. Very negative publicity for those companies for targetimg grandmas!!! (forgive my stereotyping; this is the way it looked, more or less, to the Wall Street Journal). At the same time I cannot fathom anyone suing over an image on a shirt given as a gift. Can you imagine the disproportionate amount of expenses versus damages, and the negative publicity? Not to mention anyone being interested enough to track down the source of the image on the chikd's tee!
If you are using your own design, then it seems to me to qualify as fair use.
Lucky child to get your tee!
I have two digitizing software packages. So, (and I haven't done this yet) I was going to find a picture of it on the internet, print it out, use my copier to make it the right size, then scan into my digitizing software to make into an embroidery design.
I learned that she loved this popular cat so I thought great! I need to learn my programs and when I have a real project it forces me to do so.
Years ago, I was thinking about selling doll clothes (had already sold some) so I visited a successful doll shop in a small nearby town. I loved the store and they were actually moving that day to a larger building. I thought, great! That means they are doing well. Anyway, one of the nice ladies took the time to answer my questions. My biggest concern was using patterns (that I bought of course). She said if I change 3 things, then it is fine. I wonder if that would apply here?
I guess I could write the cartoonist and ask for permission. However, I really don't want to open a can of worms. Why is this such a gray area! I have attorney friends but they don't practice copyright law. And, information on the internet contradicts itself.
Surely, others have done this without any problems. I wouldn't have even thought about that until I mentioned it at a quilt store yesterday and the ladies that worked there explained there may or may not be a problem with that. They didn't know for sure either.
It is my understanding that selling the embroidered item is illegal because you are profiting from it.
It all boils down to royalties a/k/a money.
You can embroider that design a bazillion times and give away the items as a gift, and not lose any sleep at night. Or your house.
------ iPad's auto-correct is my enema.
Copying someone's artwork and digitizing it could be iffy if they have a copyright.
Do the embroidery and give it to the kid.
One day it will end up in a yard sale or thrift store. Someone will buy it and the artist will become even more famous.
No one is going to accost you as long as you are not making and selling gobs of items and presenting them as a licensed product without the permission of the owner of the artwork.

I think the situation with the cartoonist, if you can contact them. They will probably say it's fine as long as you don't sell the designs. One company I had heard of Loralie won't even let you sell items with their designs on them. However most just don't want you to see the design file or share it. There was a lop of hoppa about this issue about 5 years ago. But I think it's calmed. After most companies realize it wasn't cost efficient to try and go after people just like with the Napster thing. A few big profit cases then nothing. And there are still lots of music download sites around if you know where to look. Myself I'm fine with itunes. -- Edited on 10/25/12 1:37 PM --
In this country, everything you produce is protected under U.S. copyright law. That covers everything from the Great American Novel to your doodles digitized with embroidery software to your weekly Walmart list. Just because things are out there on the Internet doesn't mean you may download them willynilly and use them for your purposes. The Fair Use clause applies. In general, if you use an image a single time for private use and don't have any commercial gain, you should be okay. But it's tricky, with a lot of grey areas. If in doubt, obtain professional advice or refrain from using the image.
This would be an example of using illegal designs
I doubt these people have permission form Disney to sell these designs
-- Edited on 10/25/12 1:39 PM --
and another different seller
-- Edited on 10/25/12 1:41 PM --
I'm thinking since Ebay and Disney are doing anything to stop this they really don't care. Disney and Ebay don't want to take the time and the money to go after everyone who are buying this stuff. As Ebay is making money off this stuff too. that's what always baffled me is how is Ebay getting away with it. -- Edited on 10/25/12 1:47 PM --
Even if you use an illegal design: the company HAS to give you a Cease and Desist Order before they sue you...
This happened to me once in advertising. We printed an ad calling a certain pet product "the Cadillac of dog foods". Cadillac hit the ceiling, but they sent us the C&D, we stopped running the ad, and that wuz that.

What's really going on?
I hope Escondido has better luck getting their McDonald's rebuilt ("Escondido McDonald's was full of golden memories," Nov. 13) than Encinitas has.
Our McDonald's burned down in September of 2011. So far, nothing. Just a fenced-off, burned-out shell.
What's really going on at Encinitas City Hall?

A Work In Progress
Pablo Casals was considered to be the preeminent cellist of the first half of the 20th century. When he was still playing his cello in the middle of his tenth decade of life, a young reporter asked, "Mr. Casals, you are 95 years old and the greatest cellist that ever lived. Why do you still practice 6 hours a day?"
Story Stewards
Many people take great care to make sure their resources are used well after they die. They set up trusts, write wills, and establish foundations to guarantee that their assets will continue to be used for a good purpose after their life on earth is done. We call this good stewardship.
Another Hero Of Christmas
For most of my life, I missed the importance of Joseph in the Christmas story. But after I became a husband and father myself, I had a greater appreciation for Joseph's tender character. Even before he knew how Mary had become pregnant, he decided that he wasn't going to embarrass or punish her for what seemed to be infidelity (Matt. 1:19).
An Honest Heart
I came across an epitaph on an old gravestone in a cemetery the other day. It read, "J. Holgate: An honest man."
Recently I asked my older sister, Mary Ann, if she remembered when our family moved into the house where we lived for many years. She replied, "You were about 9 months old, and I remember that Mother and Daddy stayed up all night packing boxes and listening to the radio. It was June 6, 1944, and they were listening to live coverage of the Normandy Invasion."
What's In A Name?
My friend wrote a letter to his newborn child that he wanted him to read when he was older: "My dear boy, Daddy and Mummy wish that you will find and stay focused on the Light. Your Chinese name is xin xuan. Xin means faithfulness, contentment, and integrity; xuan stands for warmth and light." He and his wife carefully chose a name based on their hopes for their baby boy.
The Blessing Of Giving
It made no sense for a widow to donate her last few coins to a corrupt institution in Jerusalem, where scribes who were dependent on those gifts "devour[ed] widows' houses" (Mark 12:40). But in that woman's act, Jesus saw a moving display of the proper attitude toward money (vv.41-44).
The Good And The Bad
Recently, I began studying the kings of the Old Testament with some friends. I noticed on the chart that we were using that a few of the leaders of the kingdoms of Israel and Judah are labeled good, but most of them are labeled bad, mostly bad, extra bad, and the worst.
Faithful To The Finish
After running 32 kilometers (20 miles) of the Salomon Kielder Marathon in Great Britain, a runner dropped out and rode a bus to a wooded area near the finish line. Then, he re-entered the race and claimed third prize. When officials questioned him, he stated that he stopped running because he was tired.
Tell The Story
In an interview with Wired magazine, filmmaker George Lucas was asked how he wanted to be remembered. He replied: "I'll be remembered as a filmmaker. . . . Hopefully some of the stories I told will still be relevant. . . . If you've raised children, you know you have to explain things to them, and if you don't, they end up learning the hard way. . . . So the old stories have to be reiterated again in a form that's acceptable to each new generation. I don't think I'm ever going to go much beyond the old stories, because I think they still need to be told."
Expect Great Things
William Carey was an ordinary man with an extraordinary faith. Born into a working-class family in the 18th century, Carey made his living as a shoemaker. While crafting shoes, Carey read theology and journals of explorers. God used His Word and the stories of the discovery of new people groups to burden him for global evangelism. He went to India as a missionary, and not only did he do the work of an evangelist but he learned Indian dialects into which he translated the Word of God. Carey's passion for missions is expressed by his words: "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God." Carey lived out this maxim, and thousands have been inspired to do missionary service by his example.
Choose Your God
I recently saw a commercial for an online game based on Greek mythology. It spoke about armies, mythological gods, heroes, and quests. What got my attention was the description of how to get the game started. You go online to register, choose your god, then build your empire.
Stand Fast
As I waited to make a right-hand turn at a busy intersection, an ambulance appeared over the crest of a hill, speeding in my direction. Someone behind me honked, urging me into the crossroads. I knew the ambulance would be unlikely to stop and that it could have been disastrous to make my turn. So I kept my foot on the brake pedal and stayed put.
Still Bearing Fruit
Sometimes the harvest comes late. Sometimes you sow seeds of hope without really knowing it. Sometimes the fruit of your life comes in a way and time you would never expect.
Standing In The Fire
Wrapped in blankets in my grand- parents' pickup, I watched as fire consumed our home. My father says I slept soundly as he carried my brother and me and our puppies out to safety. When I woke up and saw the huge blaze, I was already safe. I was too curious and too young to be scared.
Heman's Honesty
I marvel at Heman, the poet who wrote Psalm 88. His lot in life was unrelieved distress. "My soul is full of troubles," he lamented (v.3). He was fed up with suffering!
Fret-Free Living
Does it bother you to see how much attention is paid in today's culture to people who stand for all the wrong things? Perhaps it is entertainment stars who get the headlines while espousing immoral philosophies in their music, movies, or programs. Or it could be leaders who openly thumb their noses at right-living standards.
Free To Choose
When it was learned that the biggest football game of the 2011 season was scheduled to be played on Yom Kippur, the student government at the University of Texas petitioned school officials to change the date. They said it was unfair to make Jewish students choose between the classic football rivalry with Oklahoma and observing their most important and sacred holy day of the year. But the date was not changed. Even in societies where people have religious freedom, difficult choices are still required of every person of faith.
You Never Know
During my seminary years, I directed a summer day camp for boys and girls at the YMCA. Each morning, I began the day with a brief story in which I tried to incorporate an element of the gospel.
Promises You Can Bank On
After a global financial crisis, the US government enacted stricter laws to protect people from questionable banking practices. Banks had to change some of their policies to comply. To notify me of such changes, my bank sent me a letter. But when I got to the end I had more questions than answers. The use of phrases like "we may" and "at our discretion" certainly didn't sound like anything I could depend on!

Blistering sounds from Ballister – quite possibly the fiercest album so far from this key Chicago group – and that's saying a lot, given the intensity of their previous work! The trio really seem to know each other intimately by this point – so that they can really let loose, and explore a great range of sounds from the saxes of Dave Rempis, drums of Paal Nilssen-Love, and the cello, guitar, and electronics of Fred Lonberg-Holm! The album's an especially great illustration of the way that Fred's really opened up his energy level in recent years – and become a much more organic player, with a confidence in his sounds we never would have expected a decade ago. Rempis is masterful on alto, tenor, and baritone – blowing with a boldness that puts him firmly in line with a range of Chicago improvisers – and Paal's visiting drum work really pushes the whole thing forward strongly. Titles include "Cockloft", "Smolder", and "Phantom Box System". © 1996-2015, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
As a rule, Dusty Groove does not use the grades of Near Mint (or Mint, for that matter) because in our experience, we find that no records ever qualify for such a high grade. Even sealed records tend to have one or two slight faults, enough to usually qualify them for a grade of NM- or lower. We've often found that records which are clearly unplayed will have a slight amount of surface noise, especially in quieter recordings.
This is a grade we rarely use, as we try not to sell records in very bad condition, though in some rare cases we will list a record in such bad shape that it does not conform to the standards above. A "Fair" record will have enough marks or significant flaws that it does not even qualify as "Good", but is a copy you might consider for playing, if you're willing to put up with noise and/or flaws. An example might be a recording with surface noise so heavy that it is equal to the volume of the music. For records listed as "Fair", we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
Like "Fair", we rarely list records in this condition, as they represent the extreme low end of spectrum. These records typically have multiple serious problems, and we offer them as "relics" or "objects" only — for those who want to at least have a copy of a record, even if it is not really worthy of play, perhaps for the cover alone. For these records, we will describe the extent of the condition in the comments.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Big Fat Hen
Title: Big Fat Hen
Author: Keith Baker
KDL Description:
Big Fat Hen counts to ten with her friends and all their chicks.
Amazon Description:
"One, two, buckle my shoe. Three, four, shut the door. . . . Nine, ten, big fat hen!" "Baker uses an imaginative array of acrylic colors for his hens—greens, purples, and pinks to contrast with the warm, yellow straw background. There are lots of things to count, such as sticks, eggs, chicks, and hens. A fine choice for toddler story hours."—School Library Journal

I work in a remote company where email, forums and IM are key communication tools. We don't formally follow any book-methodology but have been evolving towards a more agile-style setup in terms of release schedules, client interaction and a sort of scrum adapted for distributed teams.
We use Jira on one project and I wondered if Greenhopper might be of use. Or, whether it is focused on teams who adhere much more formally to the entire Agile dogma, and would end up getting in the way?
I don't want to get into a discussion on if Agile is good or bad, what it involves, etc... just whether Greenhopper is useful to projects whose methodology is inspired by Agile principles rather than defined by them.

Re: Together
There were two more tubes in the room. Malcolm handed them both to Lili, Luncheon. Or supper, I suppose. I've lost track of the hours.
High tea, maybe? she handed one back.
No, thank you, he said, Its too bland. I'll wait until I'm truly starving.
Oh, we learned, it's supposed to be, you can make up anything and it'll taste like it.
How very curious. Hmm, he took a taste, Hard-boiled egg, lightly salted. The flavor's right but the texture's wrong.
Okay. High tea, right? Pancakes, she took a taste.
Pancakes? That's not normally served.
Well, I'm pregnant. I get cravings. And I've been wanting pancakes for over a month. You're right, the texture is no good. And the temperature doesn't change. But if they work those two kinks out, these could be a pregnant gal's best friend.
Maple syrup? Butter, perhaps? he offered her the remainder of the other tube.
I already have, she smiled a little, But just the syrup. No butter, it's a waste.
Yes. None for me, either. Dairy is not the best thing for me, even, I suppose, in my own imagination.
No? I've made you sandwiches with cheese. At least, I think I remember having done that. Did I make you anything you didn't want, Malcolm?
Oh, I probably asked for that, he said, But I always pay for it later. Its lactose intolerance a bit of nasty cramping. Probably nowhere near as awful as labor. I wonder if I'm expected to deliver your child.
Kick Kick.
I learned they have, gawd, they have a vet to do that. I would need a Cesarean anyway.
Oh. I wonder if they can hear us in here, or if they're watching.
I'm trying not to think about that, she said.
Crewman, I want you to find out everything you can, anything you can, Jonathan said, About the Witannen, the Imvari, this ship, you know the drill.
Yes, sir.
We all need to do that, so tell the other women when you next see them.
Very good, sir. Sir? Deb asked.
Yes, Crewman?
I was wondering. Since, uh, since we've had relations. And, uh, well, for the duration, I was wondering. Could you, uh, not call me Crewman? Only for the duration, she added quickly.
Hmm. Debbie, right?
Deborah. Or Deb, sir. Debbie makes me feel like a three-year-old.
All right, uh, Deborah, Jonathan said tentatively.
Thank you, sir.
You might want to stop calling me
Yes, uh,
, she felt a frisson of excitement in saying his name aloud for the first time, to him, without him objecting or being annoyed.
Jennifer, I can't stop apologizing to you, Travis said, Here, eat something.
I don't know what I'm gonna tell Frank.
I, uh, I know. Look, uh, why don't you tell me something good about Frank? Like, uh, like how you two met. Would that be something good?
Uh, okay. It was on a blind date.
A blind date? You, of all people, needed a blind date? Travis was incredulous.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, it's just, you're the Redheaded Bombshell. Can't you just get dates to materialize out of thin air?
What did you just call me?
The Bombshell. Didn't you know the guys all call you that?
No, she said, Do they write my name on a wall or something?
Uh, no, it's not like that. It's not that anyone thinks you're easy. It's that we all know you're the hottest woman on the ship. By a lot.
Yeah, you. How can you not know this? he asked.
Nobody ever told me, she said, Weird.
Well, it's true. You are totally hot.
She swallowed, I don't want to be hot. I just want to be out of here, and with Frank, and forget this all happened.
I know. Tell me about your blind date. C'mon. I won't tell anyone else if you say not to.
I went to Worcester for Engineering, but that was years ago. And, uh, Frank was in Arizona, doing geology study. But I went back to Worcester to see friends and one of my girlfriends had this guy who was hanging around and she thought he wasn't really her type. So she asked if I wanted to be fixed up. And I figured what the hell. So I said okay. He arrived on this transport and we went to the Boynton.
What's the Boynton?
It's a restaurant. We shared a Caesar salad and steak tips. He had a ticket to go back to Arizona on a transport later that day.
So he went back to Arizona and then what? Travis prompted.
Not exactly. He didn't leave for four days. And when he finally did leave, I called my mother after I saw the transport disappear and I told her I'd met somebody special. That was about two years ago.
And now I've cheated on him. He's gonna leave me.
Yes, Joss? They were in the cafeteria again. Dinner had wound down and almost no one was left in the room. Brian was wiping off tables nearby.
Duck Duck
In front of all these people? Yimar sighed, Okay. But you don't like the way I sing it, she began:
The duck was quackin'
the duck was laughin'
No! Joss said sharply, 'Ommy do
Duck Duck
Mommy's not here. Best I can do, Joss, she said.
Chip came over, Wanna see a magic trick? He did the old disappearing thumb trick. Joss was mesmerized and squealed with delight.
Oh, whew, thank you. We almost had a meltdown there, she said.
I got a million of 'em, he said, Just ask. Oh, hi, Del.
Brian came over, Everything okay?
The usual. I'm not
, so nothing is right.
You're doing your best. He'll realize that someday, Brian assured her.
I know this is none of my business, Doug began.
Then it probably isn't, Melissa said.
Well, he smiled, face tight, You said before, about, um, you know.
Yeah. That was my first time with a guy.
Yeah, that. Uh, what's the
'not exactly'
part of that?
I'm not exactly an innocent maid, Melissa said, I just hadn't, to use a quaint expression, I hadn't gone all the way with a guy. Just with women. Until yesterday.
Ohhh, he paused,
Yeah. Why does that surprise you? Haven't you ever seen a bi person before?
I guess I did and didn't know I, uh, did, he admitted, I hope I didn't ruin it for you.
She smiled a little, Well, it wasn't exactly fireworks but it wasn't horrible.
Um, thanks, I think. I never did it with someone who had absolutely no experience before, he said.
Not even your first time?
God, no. She was, uh, she was a bar girl in Cambodia.
Huh. A professional?
Not exactly, he said, At least, she wasnt as far as I was concerned. I used to buy her gifts, not give her money. I was young and stupid and I thought I had to give her a lot of stuff and tell her I loved her in order to get her to sleep with me.
Oh. Man, Melissa said, I take it that it worked.
Yeah, it worked, he said, I definitely had to give the gifts the rest of it, though, not so much. Darareaksmey didn't give a damn about me lying to her, telling her I loved her.
That name's a mouthful, Melissa said.
Yeah. It's Khmer for
'bright star'
, he said, It was, uh, over thirty-five years ago.
That's a good ten years before I was born, Doug.
Thanks, he said, Way to make a guy feel old.
I imagine the next time your husband sees me alone, he'll break my nose, Malcolm said. They had finished eating and were sitting on the mattress.
No? Lili, he's furious with me.
Oh, he may start off that way, she said, But that won't be all of it.
What are you trying to tell me?
Kick Kick.
Malcolm, despite whatever Doug has promised to me, I suspect that the next time he can get you alone, he's going to try to kill you.
So, do you wanna eat, or fool around some more? Tripp asked.
I wanna dance, Hoshi said.
Dance? This ain't exactly the Palace.
I know. I just, uh, something that feels almost like a date.
There's no music.
So you'll sing, she said.
Me? I sound awful. I do hope you're not expecting anything to actually be in any sort of a recognizable key.
That's okay, she got up and held out her hand.
All right, here goes nothin', he put an arm around her waist and she put one on his neck, This is, uh, a song my grandpappy used to sing to my grandma. That okay for you?
Sure, she said, kissing his cheek, And thanks for indulging me a little.
I'll try not to step on your toes. Ahem, he began, and twirled her slowly in an approximation of a waltz:
Longing for you all the while, More and more;
Longing for the sunny smile, I adore;
Birds are singing far and near, Roses blooming ev'rywhere
You, alone, my heart can cheer; You, just you
Okay, now, big finish! he said.
Let me call you Sweetheart, I'm
..., he stopped singing and moving.
Why'd you stop? she asked.
I don't think I should be singing the next line.
Why not, Tripp?
Because, Hoshi, the next line is, he swallowed and looked her in the eye, The next line is
'I'm in love with you'
Oh, she looked at him, Guess you'd better not. This was a bad idea.
Kill me? Malcolm asked.
Yes. Malcolm, he's, no one is allowed to know this, okay? You swear to secrecy, and I mean swear, Lili said.
I swear.
You know he comes from another side. Its a mirror universe, another place. Well, it's a distorted mirror. It's a crazy funhouse. And it's all spiked with testosterone and nastiness and machismo and about three-quarters male.
Go on.
And that's all, uh, let me back up. When it was all first starting a few years ago, when Doug and I first made contact, there was initially a meeting with Phlox. And Phlox said that there's a three to one chance that Doug will father a boy at any time. Doug is a walking male hormone cocktail, he's jumping with it. It's like he was born on steroids, it even all ended up in me during both pregnancies I'm doused with testosterone at a time when that shouldn't even be possible. And he's typical for there. They are all like that, and they are three-quarters male, like I said.
And so things evolved differently there or at least their culture did. Agriculture isn't as important as hunting. Women aren't as important as men, so they're mostly treated like dirt. And justice isn't as important as revenge and getting ahead.
What are you attempting to tell me?
I know that when he was brought over, T'Pol thought he might be an escaped prisoner, or that he was eluding justice. That's not quite the case. He wasn't eluding justice because there really is no justice there. No punishments, but also no mercy. He got away with a lot of things. And when he came here, he vowed to me that he wasn't going to do those things anymore.
And those were violent things, am I right? He was a soldier. As I have been. We do things that gentle women such as yourself would find reprehensible. But we are ordered to do such things, and we do them.
This wasn't in the heat of battle, Malcolm. It was ambition.
You heard me. It was to get ahead. You kill your superior officer, you move up a rank. He was your level when he was over in the other universe fourth in command. So he whacked fourteen men to get there.
Was my counterpart there one of those fourteen men?
No. That much I do know. But you know Chris Harris?
He's a pilot, right? With Travis and Melissa here, he must be pulling double shifts, Malcolm said.
Yes, him. On the other side, there is no Chris Harris. Not anymore. Doug knows the specifics. I don't ask unless he volunteers information. And he hasn't volunteered information about these kinds of things for, well, since before Joss was born.
So he comes here, and he converts himself into a family man, Malcolm said, You said earlier that he vowed not to do violence anymore.
Yes. But my understanding is that he gets overly violent while hunting. It's like a blood lust that isn't otherwise satisfied. And he hasn't been really tested here. Not until now. I'm just afraid that he won't be able to control himself. He doesn't always control himself. He can't put a lasso around his own strength, even with me.
Do you think he will harm you? Or your child, or Joss?
He won't hurt Joss. And he knows this baby, she patted her belly, and got a kick for her troubles, is his.
And after you have the baby?
I don't know. I don't think he'd, intellectually, want to. He's told me he doesn't hit women. But I don't imagine he's been quite so angry at one before.
We'll tell him I've been forcing you, Malcolm said.
I don't think he's gonna believe that.
Kick Kick Kick Kick.
Sorry, Melissa said.
That's all right. What was your first one like? Now that we're telling, Doug said.
You sure you wanna hear this?
Sure. When did you realize you were bi?
I was probably not much older than your son is. I mean, you just are one way or the other, she said, I went to Europa on vacation and I saw this girl and she and I hit it off. I was, uh, nineteen, hanging around with other flight school buddies. She was there with her parents and there were bonfires on the beach at night and fireworks and tents. And, uh, we made use of one of the tents.
Ah. That wasn't, like, last year or anything?
I've twenty-five, Doug. That was quite a few relationships ago. 'Course I'll have to explain you to Norri.
Who's Norri?
My girl. We live together on Ceres.
Oh. I guess I've been so caught up in my own issues I forgot to ask you if you had any, he said, Is this gonna really screw things up for you?
Maybe it will a little. Norri knows I see guys sometimes. But it's been really chaste. They try anything beyond about second base and I just bounce outta there.
This wasn't just second base.
I know. I gotta figure out how I'm gonna explain it, she said.
Me, too.
There was a hissing sound in all of the chambers, and the fuchsia-colored gas returned.
And so did desire.
She had the most glorious pecan-brown eyes he'd ever seen.
She was creative.
She could take whatever he could dish out.
She was unbelievably hot.
She had gorgeous, glossy black hair.
He wasn't her fiancé.
It didn't matter.
He wasn't the most perfect performer.
It didn't matter.
He scared her a little with how fast it was all moving.
It didn't matter.
He was a little tentative.
It didn't matter.
He wasn't a woman.
It didn't matter
Sleep overtook all, afterwards. But this time it wasn't wholly dreamless.
Lili dreamt.
She was walking through halls, opening doors and closing them, and calling in to each of them, Are you there? Is anyone there?
Over and over again. She walked through plain corridors and decorated ones. Through the holding center and through the Enterprise and through buildings she'd known on Lafa II and Titan and Earth. Walk, open door, peer inside, see no one, call out, close door and then move on.
Again and again until a lightly tapping and caressing hand on the side of her belly woke her, and a British-accented voice whispered, barely at the edge of audibility,
Oh, Stewardess! I speak Jive!

Performing Politics: Poetry in a Writing Classroom
Shall we agree to the erasure of our beleaguered, heterogeneous truth?… Or shall we become 'politically correct' as fast as we can and defend and engage the multifoliate, overwhelming, and ultimately inescapable actual life that our myriad and disparate histories imply?
—June Jordan, "Toward a Manifest New Destiny"
Standing in front of my students, I am performing my identities. As a male teacher in a position of authority who will grade them, as a person of color from the Third World who is the bearer of news from the other side of the global divide, as a cultural theorist who asks his class why is it that the bull from Merrill Lynch can cross borders at will and the Mexican peasant cannot….
I can come to class on the first day and show the slide of a postcard from a decade or more ago. It shows a billboard with a corporate logo and a child kneeling beside a dirt road in the Central American country-side. Above the child's head, the advertisement reads, "He knows only three words of English: Boy, George, Uniroyal." A line of black paint cuts across the last three words, and, thanks to the ingenuity of a graffiti artist, the new message reads "He knows only three words of English: Go Home Yankee."
When I show my students this, I want to teach them that multicultural education in the United States might be nothing more than propa-ganda—or worse, advertising—if it doesn't hear, or even amplify, those voices all over the world who are talking back to power. But, they are

Hampton Things to Do
Visit a Sugar Maple tree sap harvest
Our trip into the forests of New Brunswick to check out the 2007 harvest of Maple syrup brought us to an old farm, located on the side of a hill overlooking Washademoak Lake, about 40 km (25 miles) from Hampton. After walking up from the road through the forest we emerged onto an old field, still recovering from the 60-cm (2-ft) of snow that had...more
Boiling the sap
The final product of the M & N Morin Maple company operation is an array of bottles filled with freshly prepared Maple syrup, as shown here. Our tour ended with a look at the final step of the process in which the loads of maple sap are fed into two flat pans that are each heated by a wood-fired boiler, shown in the second and third photos. This is...more
Extraction of the Maple sap from the...
The trees on this farm have been here for over 100 years and about 800 of the Sugar Maples are tapped to siphon off their sap as it flows back up out of their roots. Altogether, on this farm, about 1200 pots were attached to the trees, with a maximum of two per tree to ensure that the tree does not suffer any damage from losing too much of its...more
Hampton Restaurants
McCrea Farms: Country eating in New Brunswick
The first part of the Kennebecasis Naturalist Society trip to the Maple sugar farm consisted of a meal at the nearby McCrea Farms site. Located on the south side of the valley overlooking Washademoak Lake, this family run establishment has plenty of diversions for all four seasons. They offer sugarbush tours, such as the one we planned to take, as well as lake skating, snomobiling, cross-country skiing, hunting, fishing and swimming! They also have a cabin down at lakeshore that sleeps 7-10 if you want to make an extended stay of it.
Favorite Dish: In our case, we were just one of a few groups they were hosting for sugarbush tours on a sunny but cool 2 C (36 F) late-March Saturday morning. The group ahead of us had not yet quite finished their meal when we arrived, so we were ushered into their sitting room (2nd photo) beside the combined kitchen/dining area. I had a great talk there with one of the other members of our group who had travelled extensively all over the world in search of suitable granite to be used in his family-owned tombstone/memorial business.
It was a great meal, a noon-hour 'breakfast' consisting of orange juice, scrambled eggs, slices of ham, sausages, crepes or pancakes with Maple syrup and tea/coffee! The 3rd photo shows my 82-year old mother enjoying her feast as the cooking goes on behind her in the kitchen. The cost was C$10 (US$8.50) per person.Related to:

Hampton Local Customs
Maple Syrup does not get any fresher!
Once the maple syrup has been boiled to the proper concentration, one of the local traditions is to sample the latest batch right then and there! In our case, the large metal tank holding either fresh grains of snow or crushed ice provides a nice even bed on which to ladle out the latest offering of syrup, as you can see here. Small flat wooden 'popsicle' sticks are provided to everyone and it is a simple matter to use the end of the stick to roll the quickly cooled maple syrup strip into a coil. It is very sticky stuff, so there is no problem to get it to attach to your wooden stick for a uniquely tasting treat, as shown by my mother in the second photo! I have to admit, it was a very nice way to end the tour!Related to:

Hampton Warnings and Dangers
The Deer are on the move
The dead-end Croft's Cove road very quickly turned from pavement to gravel as it reached an area of summer cottages built along the lakeshore. It was there, where there was only a narrow strip of trees between the road and the lakeside that we suddenly encountered two White-tailed Deer that maybe were sampling a fresh drink along the open shore of...more
The Spring ice break-up
At the end of our tour of the 'sugar shack' operations, we finished off by continuing the drive on Craft's Cove road along the south shore of Washademoak Lake not far from the tiny community of Shannon. By late-March, the strength of the daytime sun has done its work on the various sheets of 2-foot thick ice that had formed over the winter months....more

Hampton Off The Beaten Path
In Remembrance of childhood memories
Three weeks after my maple suger trip, I attended the funeral of my father's 82-year old cousin, Bill Titus, who was appropriately buried in the small community of Titusville, located just a few miles south and east of Hampton. This tiny place in rural New Brunswick has always held special memories for me, thanks to the summer of 1959 which our family spent here while my Dad helped run his father's nearby lumber mill. This photo is what remains of Bill's house 48 years later, rather run down by now, due to resisting the blasts of many harsh Canadian winters.
I was only 10 years old at the time, but I remember enjoying many summer afternoons swimming in the nearby brooks with my older brother and two younger sisters. My brother and I also built a wooden 'hot-rod' racer but used our 7-year old sister Pat as our first 'test driver' down the steep hill leading into Bill's house! Another time when Bill was out mowing the hay in his fields, my brother and I tagged along to watch the action. I noticed that he had cut down a wasp nest which was now laying on the ground in the field so I decided to check out my theory that I could run faster than wasps could fly. While my brother and Bill watched, I took a run at the nest and squashed it as I ran past, continuing at full speed. Apparently, I was too slow because it was only seconds later when I felt stings, before I made it to the safety of a nearby stream while Bill and my brother rolled on the ground laughing!
The second photo shows the very picturesque Titus Hill where Bill was finally laid to rest, beside the dead-end road that led to his homestead of more than 60 years.Related to:

Hampton Favorites
One of New Brunswick's most scenic areas
Favorite thing: This part of the province of New Brunswick, located along the Saint John River between the major port of Saint John and the capital city of Fredericton (with its nearby community of Oromocto in the upper left of this map) is, in my opinion, one of the top scenic areas in the province. As you can see from this section of the provincial highway map, the terrain to the east of the Saint John River is cut by a number of incoming water courses. Starting from the south, the first one is the Kennebecasis River which turns into Kennebecasis Bay with the village of Hampton located at the head of the Bay (the start of the 'pink' drive to our Maple syrup harvest tour). Above that is Belleisle Bay as our route cuts past its upper end before reaching the next 'arm' of the Saint John River. This one, called Washademoak Lake, is formed by the wide valley where the Canaan River flows into the Saint John. Finally, Grand Lake, the largest in the province, flows into the river just before the map peters out, as the Saint John River continues for another 480-km (300-miles) to its upper reaches in northern Maine, USA.
Fondest memory: Although Hampton is the closest VT-site to the location of our Maple sugar trip, this entire area of river valleys, treed hillsides and rolling farmlands is very picturesque and the network of small roads to the east of the Saint John River provides many opportunities to explore at your leisure. To make things easier for travellers, there are also five free provincially-operated ferries to take you back and forth across these various bodies of water. All you have to do is turn up on one side or the other and within 15-20 minutes, the ferry will see to your needs at no charge. You can get out of your vehicle and enjoy the scenery during the crossing too! Those other roads, marked in Blue and Green, are designated provincial 'scenic highways'.Related to:

I guess in the final analysis, when I hear that film may vanish, I pull out a stack of prints and say...."I made the film that this picture was taken with, and I made the paper it was printed on"! Therefore, as long as I live and as long as any student of mine lives, there will be film and paper for use in analog photography.
That is the best I can do. If people don't want to learn, then what I do is for naught!

Melissa Joan Hart is in the home stretch!
Currently expecting her third child with husband Mark Wilkerson, the 36-year-old "Melissa & Joey" star proudly showed off her pregnancy curves in a strapless orange dress while hosting an event for Operation Shower in Farmingdale, N.Y. on Aug. 22. Sponsored by Carousel Designs, Hart tweeted that she couldn't "wait to bump bellies with other pregnant ladies!"
(Operation Shower hosts baby showers for military families in order to ease the stresses of deployment. Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress Sarah Michelle Gellar, who is pregnant with baby No. 2, hosted a similar event in Pacific Palisades, Calif., in February.)
PHOTOS: Hollywood's most memorable pregnancies
Already mom to sons Mason, 6, and Brady, 4, '90s teen queen Hart isn't as stressed with this pregnancy. "I know what to expect. I'm not freaking out about every little thing," the actress told Us Weekly in June. "I'm a little more connected to this pregnancy, too. I'm really, really beyond excited to meet this baby."
So are her boys! "I can't leave or go anywhere -- even to bed! -- without them kissing the baby goodnight or saying, 'Good morning, baby,' or reading books to the baby," Hart said.
PHOTOS: Stylish star moms on the go
Hart, who said she's "due right at the beginning of the fall," won't know her child's gender until she gives birth. "This has been a very different pregnancy, so maybe we're having a girl, but we're counting on a boy. We call it 'he' just because it's easier. I don't want to say he, she, it. So, we just say, 'he.'"
Though Hart would be outnumbered four to one if she gives birth to another boy, the ABC Family star isn't worried about being the odd woman out.
PHOTOS: '90s TV stars, then and now
"If I was to pinpoint one amazing moment in my life, it would be the moment when my boys met. Mason walked in, jumped on daddy's lap and looked at Brady in my arms on the hospital bed," she told Us. "That was just a special moment, and I'm looking forward to that again."
Hart married Course of Nature guitarist Wilkerson, 35, on July 19, 2003, in Florence, Italy.

Tetris Evolution Xbox 360
- Publisher: THQ
- Release Date: Mar 19, 2007
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Definitely get this game if you love Tetris and want to embark in the world of online multiplayer battles. If you just plan to play it offline by yourself or with friends, then the look of it is the only reason to get the game, as it's a bit more polished than the older "Tetris Worlds" and it supports high definition, in addition to the fact that you can select different avatars and themes that weren't there in previous versions.
Official Xbox MagazineIt's the same Tetris you've always loved. Only...busier. [June 2007, p.74]
While it ends up being a disappointing game due to its bloated backdrops, poor music, and control problems, Tetris Evolution does a fine job at providing players with an enjoyable, basic game of Tetris on the 360. I think it would have been better suited as an XBLA download.
The single-player and multiplayer options are solid yet predictable, and the game's got all the personality of a screensaver. If 22 years of Tetris have left you tired of the formula, Tetris Evolution will do very little to reignite your passion for this classic Russian mind-bender.
For what it's worth, Tetris Evolution delivers all the juicy Tetris action but falls short in terms of the controls that make this a game that would have been more appropriate as an Xbox Live download.
If you don't mind dishing out a few extra bucks for a game you've played hundreds of time before, just keep in mind that the Xbox 360 controller holds back the gameplay needlessly.
The gameplay is essentially the same as it has ever been, but instead of having only one game mode, there are a bunch of variants for you to meddle with. It's good if you LOVE Tetris and can't get enough, but newcomers shouldn't expect to find a mode that straps certain powers onto different colored blocks.
$30 is a lot for Tetris, especially when most of the extras you've got piled on top of the basic game are worthless. You're better off playing Tetris elsewhere, or waiting for an Arcade version.
You know what would be a perfect fit? Tetris on Xbox Live Arcade. It's really hard to understand why THQ didn't take that route for this game.
X-ONE Magazine UKYes, it should have been a Live Arcade release, but its price, plethora of game modes and the fact that the original tune is included, means puzzle fans should definitely give it a whirl. [Issue#20, p.92]
Honestly, Tetris Evolution serves as one of the sorriest excuses for a retail title on the 360.
Tetris Evolution isn't really an evolution of any sorts, it's more like devolution. I felt "Tetris Worlds" was a far superior product that didn't try to add flash to cover up for its lack of content.
Packing all the charm and charisma of a shareware PC game (only considerably more expensive), Tetris Evolution is as dull as it is tedious. Don't be seduced by its empty promises of Tetris goodness at a bargain price, get something else instead.
After playing for a while, you'll realize that Tetris Evolution may have been better suited as an Xbox Live Arcade game priced somewhere closer to $10. There is no real evolution to be seen; it's the same classic Tetris you've played for years, albeit with a handful of different game modes and a few more graphical options in an attempt to stir up the experience.
Put next to the (unfairly derided) Lumines Live, Tetris Evolution is clunky, overpriced and devoid of compelling new features, and with the Xbox 360 controller's directional pad putting in its usual awkward performance, it's hard to think of a reason to recommend this to anybody.
Official Xbox Magazine UKThis hasn't moved on from the last generation of Tetris at all. [July 2007, p.102]
Customizable background themes, icons, and skins are offered to spice up the aesthetic, but they're not the least bit pleasant to look at and offer about as much artistry as clip art.
With the limited variation in modes and the lackluster multiplayer, I simply couldn't justify spending an entire $30 on Tetris Evolution. Especially not when I can get a superior version for my Nintendo DS.
In short, everything that Evolution changes from the original Tetris is a bad idea that makes the game worse. That this game sells for $30 is a joke, there are much better games for cheaper on Xbox Live Arcade.
For Pete's sake, the music even sounds tired –in the same way that you may imagine a weary 70 year-old musician at the end of the last show in the nth tour he's had in the quarter might feel.

Since the Tetris Evolution is a must have for every Tetris fan! There are so many little different achievements that you strive to unlock. Since the primary function of the game hasn't changed in years, THQ was able to make pretty cool lookin' backgrounds, but they can get very distracting in game. I tend to choose less fancy backgrounds to concentrate on the pieces! It was definitely worth every penny of the $30 I paid for!… Full Review »

Excellent preaching is a hallmark of St. Stephen's Church. Sermons given at the Sunday morning services--usually by a member of our clergy staff, though we have guest preachers as well--are posted on this site as soon as they are available, in text and/or audio format. We also post reflections delivered by clergy and lay people at the 5:30 p.m. contemplative service when they are available.
If you are looking for a sermon or reflection that is not offered below, please send an email request and include as much information as you can: the name of the preacher or reflector, which service (morning or evening), and the date.
Do you receive our Weekly Bible Study? Visit the Bible study page of our Web site, and sign up to receive a weekly email with each new guide. Looking for the Spirit, the weekly newsletter that is inserted in the Sunday bulletins? Visit our parish communication page.
Sermons preached during Year B, beginning November 30, 2014 (Advent I).
Audio recordings: As we prepare to vacate the church building so it can be renovated and restored, our sound system will also undergo changes, so there will be a period of time in 2015 when we are unable to record sermons. We will provide texts whenever possible, though some preachers deliver their sermons without texts. We appreciate your understanding.
Looking for an older sermon? Sermons preached during the most recent Year A (Advent 2013 through the season after Pentecost 2014) are here. Year C sermons (Advent 2012 through Christ the King 2013) are here. Sermons preached during the latter part of Year B (fall 2012) are here. Older sermons are here.

Hi, I'm new to the board and have never posted. I have been a sahm for 4 years and I spent majority of it as a nanny (was great money btw). Now with #2 its not really practical.
I am thinking of doing simply fun. Has anyone done this or is currently doing it? I dont know anyone who does it, I had never even heard of it until my sisiter sent my son a gift from them from MA. I am thinking of just starting up on my own. My DS is in private school so I was thinking I could start with a fundraiser. Any input anyone has is greatly appreciated! I told my MIL I was thinking of doing it and she was so excited about it she wants to buy my starter kit. I want to make sure it is something I want to do before she spends the cash on it. THANKS!

"My screens look great! My energy bill has decreased and the work was top notch! Thanks Glenn, for the speedy installation at a reasonable price!!" - Jenn
"We recently used Eclipse Solar Screens for our home in Summerlin. Glenn was very patient and helpful with our decision to purchase solar screens. Glenn is a Veteran and he far exceeded our expectation to install the solar screens in three days. His price was slightly less than the two other estimates we received. We did appreciate the free outside window cleaning that Eclipse provided, that was an upcharge from the two other screen companies". Charles C.
"Thank you for your donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Man and Woman of the year Gala silent auction. You generosity helped us reach a record breaking $215,000.00 raised during this town week campaign". Kathryn N
"We called for an estimate on Tuesday - Glenn was here at noon the same day! Prices are more than fair, and he was very informative and helpful to us with picking the right product. Glenn was back to install the screens Friday of the same week, and I can tell you we can feel the difference right away. Glenn was very professional and the job was done perfectly. Also, all of our windows are sparking clean. We highly recommend Glenn and Eclipse Solar Screens. Cynthia R
All of our frame units, window shades and parts are made of high quality aluminum and steel. We do not use any plastics or plastic composite materials. We can also save you about 25% when we rescreen your old solar screens.
Our sun shades and sun control blinds, also known as solar window shades, have been installed and proven effective in reducing energy costs of commercial and residential applications worldwide for nearly 30 years. Phifer SunScreens are energy efficient screens that are uniquely designed for use in exterior shading applications. When used on the exterior of windows, glass doors, sun spaces, and other glass areas, they can stop a large amount of the sun's heat and glare before it strikes the window or enters the room.

He wasn't getting any younger and he surely knew that he wasn't going to win in a firefight against the faster, younger, and more powerful Manny Pacquiao. With that in mind, he tried to outbox the Filipino, but he just wasn't landing with enough regularity to win rounds. I wouldn't go as far to say that he was simply running away from his opponent, and I don't think Marco is the kind of character to have ever turned up just for a pay day. I don't believe that.
Styles make fights. It's a cliche, but it's true. I tend to take a lot more into account than simply evaluating how each fighter fared against Manny Pacquiao when comparing the three Mexicans. For instance, Marco's fights with Morales alone pretty much destroys the notion that the two weren't on the same level. They clearly were. Even Marco's fight with Marquez was extremely competitive, even if Barrera was arguably past his best by 07.
It's obviously disappointing as a Barrera fan to watch the man get steamrolled, but it doesn't undo all of the wonderful nights he had in his accomplished Boxing career. One fight is not the difference.
I pretty much feel the same way about the first two fights, Bernie. Neither fight was a robbery in my estimation, with both men having legitimate cases for victory on both occasions. Why emotionally charged Boxing fans insist on one extreme or the other is beyond me. Two very close fights for different reasons.

Here is some ninny wringing her (xer?) hands at the horror of saying "It's a boy!/It's a girl!" at birth. It's gender imperialism, doncha know. The sheer melodrama of the thing merits being read aloud at a party. Unintentional hilarity at its finest.

But you will need to have the camera serviced (to fix the infamous sticky shutter) and re-calibrated for modern batteries. Minolta Hi-matic series had some good small cameras too.

RSS is extremely simple and yet so powerful. Not only does every weblog need it for content syndication; the number of RSS subscribers is a metric for weblog's popularity and its success in the blogosphere. However, although millions do use RSS, hundreds of millions don't. That's no good news, since RSS offers a bunch of advantages that can boost your productivity and improve your information consumption in a quite elegant and easy-to-use way.
In this article we give an overview of what RSS is and present best design and usability-practices for design and placement of RSS-buttons on a web site. We also showcase dozens of free RSS-icons and provide you with references to related tutorials and how-tos.
Please notice that
Coding or designing a page, it's always nice to have some basic templates you can quickly modify or adapt to your needs. However, at least once you have to know, how to create this "universal" template. In this case tutorials prove to be an ultimate solution, particularly if you just want to get an idea how something works and where to start from. In fact, you don't have to re-invent the wheel all the time - you can use existing solutions, modify and improve them and publish them as well - just the way other people did it for you.

Joel McHale: Not Allowed to Mock The Kardashians on The Soup
Not everyone is fair game on The Soup.
Host Joel McHale, 39, tells Just Jared that while most celebrities have a sense of humor about being made fun of on his E! clip show, some stars -- namely Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian -- aren't as understanding.
PHOTOS: Khloe and Lamar's wedding album
"I know the Kardashians don't like me," he says. "Reality stars without exception have come up to me and have said, 'Thank you for making fun of me.' We made so much fun of Jake Pavelka, and he responded by coming on the show. With the Kardashians, we're not allowed to say they have a sex tape anymore because the network flips out."
PHOTOS: Biggest star sex tape scandals
But according to McHale, the Kardashians haven't made his job nearly as difficult as supermodel-turned-author Tyra Banks.
"She was the only one that tried to make us not feature her show on ours, but then she changed her tune, and then she went off the air, much to our great disappointment."
With the fall TV season approaching, McHale (currently starring in Spy Kids 4 with Jessica Alba) says he's already got his eye on a few new targets.
PHOTOS: Joel and other stars party with Us Weekly
"Dancing with the Stars is the show that keeps on giving," he tells Just Jared. "I also love Hoarders and My Strange Addictions. I like all the weird shows."

New Condom Policy for 12-Year Olds Upsets Parents (VIDEO)
A new STD-prevention policy is raising eyebrows at a school in Springfield, Massachusetts.
The school's officials just approved a measure in favor of a new policy that would give children as young as 12 access to free condoms. The condoms will be made available by school nurses, and students who take them will receive sex ed counseling from school health officials, we well as instructions on how to handle the contraceptives.
Several parents at the school have expressed concerns that the policy promotes sex among students.
Do you think kids as young as 12 should have access to condoms?
