We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
We never did anything because we said we would wait until i turned 17. She never persuaded me to do anything wrong not even have sex. We talked about it but it wasnt a force behind anything. My parents were mad about the age and thats the only thing so they filed charges to "prove a point" but I want to go against them and take her side because she has done nnothing wrong and her 5 year old daughter needs her!Alsso she kept my mind frame right if i thought about doing something that would hurt me in the long run she would make me wait and think about it. I see nothing wrong with the relationship if we decided to wait to have sex even though we always talked about it.
She needs to hire a criminal defense attorney to defend her. I'm not sure that you don't need to talk to an attorney as well based on this facts. I assume you are still a minor, and I assume she is over 18 and is being charged in adult court. Proceed with caution on this. If I understand the post, your parents levied the charges against her. You are in between your parents and this woman in this conflict. Think your actions through.
I am trying to give you a general answer to your question. We do not have an attorney-client relationship by this response on the avvo website. I have not been retained to represent you. I am licensed to practice law in Kentucky and in federal court in this state and the Southern District of Indiana. You need to seek legal advice from an attorney licensed to practice in your area..Ask a similar question
You cannot defend her; only an attorney can. She will be appointed one if she is indigent; if not, she will have to provide her own attorney.
Your role would be as a victim/witness. The extent of that role will be determined by the defense counsel and prosecution.
The foregoing is for general information purposes and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question

Ciel: The Departure of Chocobo is the eleventh episode of Final Fantasy: Unlimited.
Story DetailEdit
The episode opens with Ai, Chobi, Lisa and Yu arriving at their next destination; a massive open meadow of some kind. After a few moments, the children conclude there is nothing here. As they do so, Chobi seems to notice something in the distance and Lisa informs the others she can sense an animal's energy from that direction.
After a few moments, a herd of chocobo's charge over the horizon.
The party quickly discovers the herd is being chased by a mushroom monster.
Lisa swiftly defeats the creature, but before they can flee Chobi attacks the stunned beast. As the creature begins to awaken, the herd of chocobo attack the creature together. As the dust settles it appears the chocobo herd has pummeled the creature into nothing. Chobi returns to the group just as an old woman riding a chocobo appears. The woman comments on Chobi and the strength of his kick, likening it to a "Ciel". After recognizing Yu's feather, she gives her name as Chocoimo, Chocobaba's younger sister.
After spending the day with the chocobos and Chocoimo, Lisa questions her as to if she has seen the children's parents. She says she has not, as they have been running from monsters a lot more than usual lately.
As the group is about to leave, Chocoimo warns them of Omega, suggesting that it is still alive and causing great destruction. After a brief conversation, the topic returns to Ciel. Chocoimo reveals that Ciel is a legendary Chocobo that is able to outrun any other Chocobo.
Before any more questions can be answered, Chobi's watch begins to chime, signaling the departure of the train. Before the group can farewell Chocoimo, she and her herd take off. After a moment, Yu realizes that Chobi wishes to stay with the herd and tells him to do so. After a brief moment, Chobi departs.
Back on the train, the trio arrive at a station in a gorge. A few moments after they stop, a new part of Omega appears and attacks them. As Crux watches from overhead, Omega destroys the station, sending the train plummeting into darkness and separating Yu from Ai and Lisa.
Realizing they can not reach Yu, who is unconscious, Lisa and Ai begin to panic, until they see Kaze in the cliffs above them. Despite Ai begging him to help them, Kaze does not activate the Magun, nor does he seem to be able to do so.
The feather Ai wears seems to signal Chobi, who is still with the herd, resting near something Chocoimo claims is the Ciel ruins. Chobi finds a marking on one of the stone surrounding the ruins in the shape of his foot. When he places his foot on the mark, a mass of light engulfs Chobi.
Back in the gorge, just as Yu is about to be hit by one of Omega's attacks, a white flash appears and carries him to safety. Lisa notices that it is a Chocobo in some kind of armor that saved Yu. Yu, regaining consciousness on the chocobo's back realizes that it is Chobi he is riding.
As the group reunites, the Magun begins to respond. As Chobi takes the others to safety, Kaze summons Titan; a giant of comparable size to Omega's piece. Titan holds Omega back as Chobi takes the others aboard the subway.
On the train, Chobi reveals, via Yu, that he can only transform for short periods of time. Lisa wonders as to the status of Kaze, but Yu dismisses the thought saying that he's always fine.
Another new combination of Soil is seen in this episode:
The protecting earth that makes even the heavens cry/The solid earth that protects - Gaia Brown
The hidden quiet passion/The hidden silence of passion - Deep Vermillion
The everlasting vitality of life/From the eternal vitality of life - Evergreen
"Smash, I summon you, Titan" -Kaze
It summons, Titan, a giant gladiator-like robot that gets giant rock from the ground and uses it smash into enemies.
- Ai Hayakawa
- Chobi
- Chocoimo
- Kuroki Kaze
- Lisa Pacifist
- Omega
- Yu Hayakawa
- Chocobaba- only mentioned

The fourth season of the medieval drama series has an average gross audience of 18.4 million so far, beating the mob drama by 200,000 viewers.
"Game of Thrones" is officially the new ratings king on HBO. The medieval drama series takes over the throne from "The Sopranos" to become the most-watched show on the premium cable channel to date.
With two episodes remaining in the current season 4, "Thrones" is averaging 18.4 million gross weekly, 200,000 ahead of the mob drama's average audience of 18.2 million. It's up 4 million from the third season which averaged 14.4 million viewers per episode.
This feat comes after the latest episode, "The Mountain and the Viper" which aired June 1, posted the show's second-largest same-night audience to date with 7.17 million. The May 18 episode still holds the record for the most-watched episode of the series in one night with 7.19 million viewers.
"Thrones" season 4 finale will air June 15. The show has been renewed for a fifth and sixth season.
In other news, "A Song of Ice and Fire" author George R.R. Martin offered fans a chance to spend a day with him by making a donation to benefit the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary and the Food Depot. High-level donors can also enter a contest to have a character in the world of "Game of Thrones" named for them. "You can choose your character's station in the world (lordling, knight, peasant, whore, lady, maester, septon, anything) and you will certainly meet a grisly death!" he says.

I am trying to find out the best way to keep cucumbers from rotting in the refrigerator. How can they be preserved for at least a week?
Take them out of the plastic bag, wash and dry them carefully and don't set them on the "floor" of your crisper. If you have to bag them, do it in a paper bag, plastic bags are murder for a cucumber. (06/04/2004)
Any fruits and vegetables will need some special care. A lot of people I know just take their "produce" home and throw it in the fridge bag and all. Here are some things that will help you. In the store take time to pick good produce. Cucumbers should be firm and not mushy. If there is any soft spots at all don't buy them no matter how cheap they are. Never just "cut" out mold or bruising. By the time you find these the produce is rotting and bacteria and harmful spores are throughout all the item. No amount of washing or cooking will protect you.
Wash cucumbers well with cold water after getting them home. Dry them well with paper towel and place on a bed of paper towel on a shelf by themselves. No onions, etc. Keep onions and garlic away from cucumbers and other produce items. They give off a gas that rots most produce quickly. Never put vegetables and fruits in the fridge in a plastic bag. They need air circulation. No bags do this. Keep them dry and use up before the end of the week.
Another thing, don't put tomatoes in the fridge unless they have been cut and will be eaten in the next day. Refrigerating them makes them mealy. They go bad and mushy. With the price of food these days nobody can afford to not take good care of their produce. (06/04/2004)

Regarding your comments on cutting out "mold & mushy parts" .... I've seen recent studies that show this to be an ok practice, for most people. "Most people" being not having major food sensativies. I'm not agreeing with one way or the other, but from recent research it seems this practice is not all bad.

Most of you looking to get your hands on Samsung's latest Galaxy S III smartphone will still be waiting, but courtesy of the intuitive folks over at XDA, it's already been rooted. As was the case with the Galaxy S, S II and the larger-than-life Galaxy Note, it doesn't have a locked bootloader, so the task of acquiring root was automatically that tidbit easier.
Samsung could have made it difficult for the hackers and devs to get into the Android innards, but have done the community a real service by shipping the device with an unlocked bootloader. Many OEMs love to play hard-ball, but the Korean company doesn't seem altogether bothered with what users do with a device once it's been paid for – as it should be.
As usual, follow at your own risk. This tutorial is posted for information purposes only.
Step 1: Download the insecure kernel (based on the XX NEE ALE8 firmware) from Chainfire.
Step 2: Download ODIN 1.85, which we'll be using to flash the insecure kernel.
Step 3: Once you've download both, extract using the archiving tool of your choice. I use WinRar, but if you've done this before, you'll probably have your utility of choice already installed.
Step 4: After extracting the kernel, you'll be left with a .tar file.
Step 5: Place your device into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Power / Lock buttons simultaneously, and pressing Volume Up when prompted.
Step 6: Run ODIN, connect your device to your PC via USB, and within ODIN, click on PDA and select the .tar file you extracted from the insecure kernel.
Step 7: Click Start and the flashing process will begin.
Step 8: Now you will need to "upgrade," as it were, from insecure to full root. To do this, you'll need to boot your Galaxy S III, and enable USB Debugging by browsing to Settings > Applications > Development.
Step 9: Your insecure root allows adb root commands, but won't enable your apps to get superuser access; thus, you'll need to install SuperSU.
Step 10: Download the sgs3-root-install.zip file [XDA Developers link], which contains SuperSU v0.89, and extract it.
Step 11: With adb running, double-click the install.bat, and after a reboot, your Samsung Galaxy S III will be fully rooted!

I hadn't been in a while so and after a yummy lazy brunch in Kingston, I decided to check them out. I don't think they're as good or cheap as the Hall Markets which I blogged about, but they serve a different purpose - they're more central and they're indoors.
The markets
Lots of gorgeous kids clothes
I loved this ladies dresses - this one was on sale for $25!
Dresses for sale - $50 each
Handmade leather bags - very exxy, costing around $300! The lady also sells on Etsy.
Chicken hats!? $38
Flower clips / brooches made from kimono silks. Super versatile and look great as shoe clips!
I loved this lady's artwork - she uses copper metal and modelling clay which she paints with metallic paints.
I especially loved this kookaburra - $95 including frame.
Would you pay $38 for a short tarot reading? I wouldn't! I have always wanted to have one done, but at a much cheaper price...
I didn't take any photos, but there is a whole section devoted to food stuffs and plants - you can buy ready made cakes and tarts, freshly baked bagels, chutnies and jams, bunches of flowers, exotic teas, fudges, and even free range eggs and locally produced meats.
It also has a "food court" area where you can buy lunch - with Ethiopian, Laotian, Spanish, Turkish and Mexican food on offer amongst other cuisines.
I'd definitely recommend the markets for an outing - especially on a rainy day when there is little else to do in 'Berra!

We are installing an Asterisk-based PBX with Grandstream phones. The receptionist is getting a phone and attendant console. She spends a fair bit of her time away from the front desk so she has always carried a wireless phone that has 4 call appearances, which she truly needs. It needs to be replaced as it is a proprietary phone which will not work with the new system.
I need a recommendation for a wireless phone. The vendor has suggested an Aastra MBU 400 DECT system which has an FXO port interface that would connect to the Grandstream phone. I am not sure but I doubt that we can handle 4 calls via that connection. A wireless phone with a SIP base station seems to make more sense.
Recommendation? Comments?

text: Do you like guns? As with any guide this is a suggested route you can take with developing your character. Perhaps there is a rare ava or emblem event going on and you want to get your rare avatars/enchants before plunging into ancients/hell mode. You absolutely can! But if you don't know what you're doing, take on the steps in order (or ask in the general) Beginner/Pvp tier Grind out a full halidom leather armor set: shoulder, top, bottom, belt, shoe. (level 80 or 85; 80 is less grindy but less stats; a full set of either gives decent crit chance and speed and a few more skill levels; going 2+3 gives the most stats) For weapons, a halidom revolver, devastating revolver, or ticket to heaven are all decent to start with. +11 is not as vital as popular myth would have you think, you can do fine in +10 or less. Consider picking up an elemental necklace, elemental tear, osiris ring, and generic class attack subequip. The halidom accessory set gives an abundance of speed and defensive stats, but isn't too important and tends to be replaced quite easily. Farmer (dabbling in hell mode and doing dailies) Consider acquiring either a chronicle set (9pc precise fire, or 6pc standard procedure with miscellaneous) or 6pc gracia with miscellaneous precise fire has excellent synergy with chain powder and significantly buffs moving shot/death hawk. standard procedure gives +10% dbr crit damage (nice) and buffs chain powder along with other things (also nice). Chronicle sets are no longer "meta" for rangers, but they are fun sets and can be acquired quickly through events, dark elf ruins, and the Otherverse. Gracia is the ancient quest legendary set for Noire Ferra, and the best farmable set you can get; you can easily acquire 120+ light damage, 6% additional light damage. consider leaving accessory slots open for gigantic presence, otherwise work with what you get from hell. it is inadvisable to stack or use items focusing on other elements if you are using gracia. check this out http://dfonexus.com/threads/gracia-and-gearing-guide.12313/ Weapon wise, gracia family heirloom revolver is a decent farmable weapon. If you do the appeasing stone dailies, you'll eventually be able to buy a requiem revolver, and might consider upgrading to a liberation revolver eventually. Other legendary revolvers are somewhat weaker than liberation or gimmicky but generally come cheaper too. Since you will begin dabbling in hell mode with the demon invites you acquire, don't forget that you aren't restricted to leather armor or light damage; there are all kinds of elemental and mixed settings that use equipment of all types, and many sets become incredibly strong as a full set. It is beyond the scope of this guide to provide a commentary on each individual item, and with the changing nature of the game a few patches down the roads things may change once again. Hardcore get 6pc gracia if you haven't yet and ditch your chron set if you have not found a decent selection of epics to go with gracia, you will probably want the gigantic presence accessory set (40 watk, 18 ele damage, 12% crit, 10% skill damage, 10% str/int, -10% cooldown reduction). do anton normals every day to collect ~30 antonium per day; each piece costs 1050 antonium. with gracia and GP you will have one offslot on armors or special equipment. consider getting an advanced/rare avatar set and emblems. gracia is worth enchanting, so work on that too. aim for 97% crit. consider amping your equipment (not weapon) starting with core epics/legends --Basic enchantment-- Kane (9% shoulder) Yellow Dragon's bijou bead (3% belt, shoe) various patk cards (top, bottom, weapon) aracloso, light knight, magneus (8-11 light damage, accessories) --DBR swap set-- You can technically get +11 without using armor or accessory pieces but you only need +10. biting gin stinger (+3) DBR plats (+2) avatar top (+1) DBR title (+2-3) DBR pet (+1) unique motion aura plat slot (+1) Fill the 10 other equipment slots with tainted dbr pieces. if you can't get +10 that way, your armor slots can give you some levels of dbr. you will be getting a slightly weaker DBR but it'll barely be noticeable. sea god's pants (+1) coliseum top (+1) (pvp) quartz spirit (+1) (forgotten land), time traveler's silver watch (+1), navarre's insignica (+1) Halidom weapon (+1), webley/anaconda (+2) Insane --Weapons-- Silver Bullet: Some people have a soft spot for this weapon, but lower bullet output compared to mranger makes it a poor contender with lord of ranger. The most powerful setups utilize dark or water respectively so the 35 light damage tends to be lost there too. Lord of Ranger: 60% smash with 0 quickslots used. Absolutely worth learning full manuals for, even if you sacrifice some efficiency or speed in the process. Savior's Glory - Revolver: 35% skill damage, with another 25% skill damage when at 100 energy. The most flexible and powerful weapon available; because it frees up your smash modifier, you can multiply your damage further than lord of ranger can. This item can only be acquired through gold cards, Anton epic pots, or by purchasing it with 20 Anton souls. --Excellent epic armor sets-- wesley's tactical (85 leather): 55% additional damage in a party of 4, 500 str aura, bunch of smaller auras. popular set, for good reason dark gothic (80 cloth): 250+ shadow damage, 10% additional shadow damage, -shadow resist on enemies. almost requires amping to compensate for extreme lack of strength. will be nerfed eventually but will still offer significant shadow damage, though many other sets get buffed too so keep that in mind mana vortex (85 plate): 25% additional damage, significant cooldown reduction, set effect resets lv 45 and under skills every 10 seconds. great set but has fallen out of favor with burst meta (still an excellent set) natural guardian (85 light): significant proc damage that scales with DBR, decent additional damage. solo naval gun in raid! devastate tog! scales inefficiently with stats/saders but significant amount of damage ignores armor. assassin's attitude (85 leather): 35% additional damage (while camouflage from the pieces is active), 44444 damage on back/counter attack, higher than average strength, 18% smash, 15% crit damage. good set and technically capable of phenomenal damage but somewhat difficult to take full advantage of additional damage on back/counter attack. --Situational/gimmicky/suboptimal-- full plate (85 plate): 40% additional damage (while super armor from the pieces is active), huge stats. 15% crit damage and has plenty of speed, super armor, and attack. attack bonus from set effect is swappable magical contract (85 heavy): decent set but may be difficult to stay in the optimal HP range spider queen (85 heavy): becomes significantly stronger post rework; 30% smash damage clashes with lord of ranger eyeshield ladanian (85 light): becomes significantly stronger post rework; too inconsistent and gimmicky right now) unknown dark hole (80 heavy): 50% additional damage, but can you handle blindness? submarine volcano (80 light): becomes significantly stronger post rework; somewhat weak right now Endgame bits and pieces: --Final enchantments-- essence giant nugol card (45 weapon attack) on top/bottom/weapon, use a cube contract if you aren't inflicting the element you want noblesky bijou beads (5% crit belt/shoe) if you need it rifle max (10% crit shoulder) if you need it noblesky sub equip bead for subequip some anton cards give incredible elemental damage for accessories, anton's heart for magic stone gives up to 15 all ele --Super swapping-- After casting death by revolver, you can swap to chain powder plats for slightly more damage Swap to petit crimson rose or swap avatar tops when casting your 2nd awakening to deal a ton more damage. Other details --Gender differences-- Franger skills focus on burst, whereas mranger skills tend to lean towards increased shot count, duration, and sustained damage. Frangers have additional mobility with gunblade and holds in kill point/2nd awaken. Frangers must conserve cancels due to their slow recovery time, whereas mrangers can cancel with impunity. Mrangers have a thing for headshot. --Leather armor mastery-- Isn't gamechanging, but is nice to have. The most important stats here are Strength, Physical crit, and Attack speed. Many epic sets have means of boosting attack speed, and strength gains from mastery pale in comparison to what crusaders can provide. Physical crit can be remedied somewhat with emblems, or accessory options if that is available, but frangers may have slightly more difficulty with this due to not having Sudden Death. --Party synergy-- Frangers have no particular party synergy to speak of aside from elemental ones. Kill point and 2nd awaken are excellent holding/mob gathering tools however, and we have vacuum effects on death hawk/chain snatch that can assist in the repositioning of enemies or objects for gimmicks.

Cuvette Centrale peatlands from Congo may contain 30 billion tons of carbon stored – VIDEO
Inside the Congo Basin, which has 3.7 million square kilometers, stand some of the planet's largest tropical rainforests and vast wetlands, but also the Cuvette Centrale peatlands, which may be one of Earth's most carbon rich ecosystems. This area desperately needs to be protected in order to avoid the release of the equivalent to 20 years of carbon emissions from the United States.
Recently discovered and mapped swamps may contain 30 billion tons of carbon, according to the investigations made by a UK-Congolese research team. Their analysis, based on three year's worth of peat analysis and satellite data, published in Nature on Wednesday, show that the Cuvette Centrale peatlands "hold nearly 30% of the world's tropical peatland carbon," as research co-leader Professor Simon Lewis of the University of Leeds said.
"Our research shows that the peat in the Central Congo basin covers a colossal amount of land. It is 16 times larger than the previous estimate and is the single largest peatland complex found anywhere in the tropics."
Peat is formed from soaked, partially decomposed plant materials, and is more commonly found in cooler climates, such as Scotland, inhabitat reports. To mentain the carbon stored, peat must not dry out, because if it does, due to climate change or land disturbance, decomposition of the material will release more carbon into the atmosphere.
"The maintenance and protection of this peatland complex, alongside protecting our forests, could be central Africa's great contribution to the global climate change problem," said Dr. Ifo Suspense, study co-author and researcher at Université Marien Ngouabi in Brazzaville.
In this context, the Republic of Congo is considering an expansion of its Lac Télé community reserve to protect an additional 50,000 square kilometers of swamp forest, mostly peatlands.

News, views and commentary on Long Island, state and national politics.
Primary Day is still more than a week away, but the Congressional campaign of Democrat Kathleen Rice already has its eyes on a potential general election opponent.
Rice's team on Thursday released a statement that attempted to pressure Republican Bruce Blakeman to identify his stance on comprehensive immigration reform – the issue that many pundits have said led to the stunning primary defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) earlier this week.
"Eric Cantor lost his primary to a Tea Party challenger because he dared to support even the prospect of a sensible compromise on immigration reform," said Rice spokesman Coleman Lamb. "Facing a very similar primary, will Bruce Blakeman do the right thing and stand up for comprehensive immigration reform and bipartisan compromise, or will he cave and do what's popular with the extremist wing of his base?"
Rice, the Nassau district attorney, will face County Legislative Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams in the June 24 Democratic primary to succeed Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Mineola) in the 4th District. Both candidates back immigration reform, like most House Democrats.
The focus on Blakeman, a former legislative presiding officer from Long Beach, comes as he's set to face New Hyde Park attorney Frank Scaturro in the GOP primary. Both men are touting their conservative credentials, and in many parts of the country, Republicans who have expressed support for bipartisan immigration reform are being challenged from the right by candidates who reject such a plan.
But Long Island's only Republican congressman, Rep. Peter King, has become a leading moderate voice of his party -- and has said that he supports "legalization and a pathway to citizenship" in a package of measures to fix the immigration system.
Matt Coleman, a spokesman for Blakeman, declined on Thursday to describe Blakeman's stance on immigration reform "at this time."
[UPDATED] Later in the day Thursday, Blakeman responded to a request for comment by saying that his immigration policy could be summed up with, "secure our borders now, and don't trust President Obama."
Upon questioning, Blakeman added that "until our borders are secure, and we have verification that it is being done, we cannot have a conversation about immigration policy." He said that he would be willing to discuss comprehensive reform only after the federal government first "hardened our assets, hired more border patrol and improved technology to better monitor our borders."
Scaturro spokesman Sam Abady said that Scaturro believes "border security is a first step toward reform," but that it should also increased increased workplace verification and encourage "naturalization of the skilled labor workforce and those who serve in our military." Scaturro opposes "mass amnesty," but once border security is handled, he supports a comprehensive reform plan, Abady said.
Coleman, in a statement earlier on Thursday, had responded to Rice's campaign challenge to Blakeman by referring to Rice's January resignation as co-chair of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's state commission to investigate public corruption.
Rice resigned after declaring her candidacy for Congress. Months later, Cuomo abruptly ended the Moreland Act commission after he struck a political deal with the legislature for some of his ethics proposals. U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara has told New York's Legislature to preserve all its records related to the commission.
"Kathleen Rice's lighting quick exit from Albany's Moreland Commission may have left her a little dazed and confused," Coleman said. "The better question to ask is: does Kathleen Rice have a Barack Obama problem if she is her party's candidate in November?"

Meet My friend Lorne Epstein, CEO of InsideJobs & Community Giver

• Linkedin: http://bit.ly/9Ci0rk
• Facebook: http://bit.ly/cbFhiG
• Twitter: @InSide_Job
• Website: http://www.MyInSideJobs.com
• Community Volunteering: I give free lectures to college students and professionals on how to interview. My talks are based on my book "You're Hired! Interview skills to get the job." I was a co-founder of RecruitDC with other local HR professionals.
• Personal Causes: I support people in having jobs they love and careers that are satisfying. I have raised over $50,000 for AIDS related charities.
• Office: 240-876-0276
• Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Lorne Epstein is the CEO of InsideJobs, which leverages Social Networking technology including Facebook, LinkedIn, and other web portals to expand the pool of qualified candidates and shorten the hiring life cycle.I met Lorne Epstein at ERE and Sourcecon, in fact several times over several years and each time we have intense conversations, many political (we have fun exchanges and revel in our different views) and others about life. He is engaged in all things when he speaks to you, with sharp memory of things I mentioned years prior and he never ceases to keep me on my toes. If you sense I am a fan – its because I am. Not simply because he runs a company, or that he adds insight to what we do in our profession in applying technologies to help job seekers and clients alike, but because he is the real deal when it comes to caring about people, myself included and Lord knows we could use more of these types in our industry. I learned in my time in school in Indiana that in retrospect there is something called the "California how are you" … where they ask and ignore your response. I learned this when I was confused when a sweet old lady at the local grocery store counter was always calling me sugar and sweetie and I paused every time she asked me "Why Are you Having a Good Day?" as if she really was interested. I learned that there are places where people actually care to know. I met one of these people in the conference circuit and for two years I have asked him to interview – so that tells you, I am interested in sharing Lorne's story with you. Lorne listens, Lorne wants to know and for that reason and many others – I think you will want to know Lorne Epstein. Tell him EL Dave sent you.
Six Degrees: Tell us of your home world, Lorne
Lorne: I have been married for three years to my lovely bride Alicia Korten, who is an amazing author and cares deeply for our planet. We met in 2005 and I knew after our first date I would live with her for a long time. We live in a ranch house in Arlington Virginia. Our neighborhood is a few minutes from Washington DC but feels a lifetime away. Our hamlet is called Maywood and is filled with kids, dogs, and happy families. We work from home and Alicia and I spend a good deal of time with each other. We both write for our work and will have the other edit our work. Alicia has written several books including the recently published Change Philanthropy and several others.
We love dogs and singed up to be foster parents with the Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue group. Our home is often occupied by one breed of dog or another.
Six Degrees: I recall you are very active in your community and in life and general, tell us more about your life outside of the staffing industry
Lorne: I am a 5 time marathon runner and enjoys running with my friends most mornings. I was an avid cyclist in my 30's and traveled around the country including Alaska to do long distance rides in order to raise money for AIDS charities. I love to watch movies and usually get to see 2-4 per week using the wonderful Netflix.
Six Degrees: How many years have you been in the staffing industry?
Lorne: I started recruiting in 1996 for an agency after being pestered by my good friend and former colleague Michael Farber. So I have been recruiting for 14 years as of today.
Six Degrees: How did you get started as a recruiter?
Lorne: After college I worked for a high-tech start up in The Bronx NY. I did everything there from marketing to sales and befriended the Sales Manager Michael Farber.
Several years later I was in New Jersey and my old friend Michael called me up and asked me to work for him at The Consortium agency. Accepting the offer was an act of faith. It was a great entrée to the recruiting world. He gave me a tremendous break.
I had been reluctant the past few times he asked but this time I did not have a job and wanted to relocate to New Jersey so I took the job. That I had a great relationship with my new recruiting mentor made a huge difference. He taught me the basics of recruiting and I did well. After 3 months on a draw I started to earn more than 20k per quarter in commissions. It was more money than I had ever earned and was hooked. Here was work I could do well and earn a nice living. For the next dozen years I earned more and developed myself as a recruiter.
Six Degrees: What single event had the most impact on your sourcing/recruiting career?
Lorne: Recruiting for Cadence Design in Santa Clara California had the most impact on me. I developed life long friendships and was put to the test to find qualified candidates in a tight employment market in an even tighter geographic market. All of my team flew in from other parts of the country every week and the pressure was high to hire top talent. I learned a lot about my abilities as a recruiter and it had the greatest positive impact on my skill development.
Do you have a mentor to whom you attribute your overall outlook on recruitment, capabilities, and/or model your career after?
Lorne: Michael Farber trained me to become a recruiter who focused on the fundamentals of recruiting. These included cold calling, relationship building, and managing the agency hiring cycle. And he never let me forget the basics like making calls. "If the phone is not ringing here, make it ring some place else!", he would always say.
Six Degrees: Tell us about your company, "Inside Job"
Lorne: I am the founder of InSide Job. After I published my book, You're Hired Interview Skills to Get the Job, I was imagining ways to make my book into a website. While at they gym on a treadmill an idea came to me. I gathered a team of developers and in early 2007 we began to build a site that would reflect the work of my book. In November of 2007 on the way to my honeymoon, I took a small piece of what we created and designed InSide Job on the pages of that month's edition of Fast Company. We have over a dozen people who have worked or currently work on building InSide Job to be the number one business network on Facebook.
What InSide Job does is very simple. We created a professional network for Facebook users. We did this by building a database of a Facebook users job title, company name, and the location for each place they have worked, currently work, want to work, or interviewed. This data is then searchable by anyone on Facebook who has added InSide Job to the Facebook page. It is easy and free to use.
We generate revenue from job postings and advertising. Currently recruiters can load up InSide Job and post jobs for free. Once the second version is up there will be a minimal fee under $10 for a 30 day posting. We don't use long job descriptions nor do we keep resumes. We leave that for the other guys.
What we have built is slim, fast, and easy to use. You can see a video demonstration of how it works at www.MyInSideJobs.com.
Six Degrees: What recent general news story or industry trend do you feel will have an impact on your work in the future? Why?
Lorne: As an imaginative guy I have been pondering the world's problems and believe that the creation of a new source of energy or monumental breakthrough with current technology will make the greatest impact on our world. Energy appears to be the source of our environmental and geopolitical challenges.
The most relevant news in my professional world of computers is the release of the iPad from Apple. I am not an apple user and never was. I did check one out the other day and was impressed by the manifestation of a tool that one my greatest hero's used 40 years ago. Capt James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprise used a version of the iPad and it was cool. Before Steve Jobs made black turtle necks and jeans cool, Kirk was using flat panel computers to read, write, and communicate his crew.
If the iPad is the next step in our electronic revolution it is clear to me that one can presume holo-decks and transporters are likely to become real just as communicators and other wiz-bang toys that science fiction portends. To sum up, I believe that the iPad and similar gadgets are road signs from the past that are leading us back to our future.
Six Degrees: Tell us about your broader involvement within the staffing industry:
Lorne: I just started to attend ERE and my first one was at Orlando in 2009. I had a great time and have made friends for life with folks like David Pritchard. I finally feel I am with my own people who I can relate to about recruiting issues and the challenges and successes of staffing. I was at ERE in San Diego in 2010 and love the energy and commitment to excellence that me fellow recruiters have for this work.
I have not been asked to speak and have not won any awards for anything that I have done and justly so. I have not done anything that deserves an award in my field of work. I hope that one day, InSide Job is worthy of the recruiting industries acknowledgement.
Six Degrees: Can you detail how the recession has affected your particular industry niche?
Lorne: For InSide Job the recession has pushed more people to look for more creative ways to find work and for employers to find candidates. Advertisers are not able to afford the newspapers along with their decline. We hope that InSide Job has come around at the right time in our culture with the merger of professional life, social networking, the disappearance of newspaper ads, and the exponential growth of Facebook.
I have many friends who have been laid off and as a recruiter it has been much more challenging to find a decent paid gig. Many of the recruiter positions in DC pay very little. However the last couple of months I have seen more recruiting positions than I have seen in years.
Six Degrees: Are there specific groups, both online and in-person that have proved fruitful in extending your personal brand and job seeking prospects?
Lorne: I have worked to build my professional network in several ways. One has been expanding my LinkedIn and Facebook connections. Another has been helping others to find the people and resources they need. And lastly I make myself available to speak on interview skills. Recently I found one of my neighbors came to a talk I gave. Branding myself as the interview guy has been fun and interesting. I am looking to move beyond interview skills towards helping people on Facebook connect and network using their professional backgrounds.
Six Degrees: Given your own Trial and Error experiences as a Networker, what advice do you have for your peers on what NOT to do?
Lorne: Oh God! I have made so many networking mistakes and had some amazing successes I would be pulling from experiences that
Networking according to Lorne:
• No one you meet will be exactly like anyone else you meet.
• Everyone wants something different and has something different to offer.
• It's good to be someone who has something to offer.
• It's better to offer it.
• It's even better to offer it freely and with an open heart.
• Collect names, numbers, email addresses and note who they are and how you can help them and how they can help you.
• Most people like to be helpful.
• Everyone you have not met is a possible friend, co-worker, business partner, future relative, client, and any other type or relation you can think of.
• Don't judge people before you get to know them.
Six Degrees: What is your next career goal? What do you need to do to get there?
Lorne: My career goal is to have InSide Job become a popular tool for networking on Facebook. This is a huge task and I have struggles every day. Just getting going can take a great deal of effort when

He works with incredible focus on each position to create a pipeline of highly qualified candidates, finds the cream in the crop, and gets them interested in the company. Since Lorne sources all of his own candidates based on your requirements and manages others to increase his capacity, there are no agencies to find, manage, or pay retainers or contingency fees.

The Catholic University of America's symposium for the Year for Priests got underway today. The presentations were very scholarly and quite fine. Fides et ratio at their best. (I will try and give a synopsis of the talks tomorrow.) But, it was something at the end of the morning session that brought home to this CUA alumnus what a distinctive place a Catholic university is and how that distinctiveness opens up not only new avenues of thought but how it grounds us in something more substantial and permanent than any intellectual theory. Father O'Connell led the more than 100 assembled participants in the Angelus.
Prayer. And not just any prayer, but a prayer that is as old as universities themselves. A prayer that includes Scripture from the earliest centuries of the Christian Church. A prayer to the Virgin in whom eternity took flesh.
Intellectual fads come and go. The great insights of Freud are now taught as having historical interest, but they are not taught as effective psychology. Newton's physics explained much, until Einstein's theories came along and I am told that contemporary scientific minds have long since passed Einstein. There was a time before the theories of Darwin and Copernicus, and those times were not without their measure of intellectual rigor. Our knowledge is, as the Apostle Paul wrote, imperfect. But, through the centuries, through all the intellectual achievements and intellectual failures of our civilization, prayer endures.
Our prayers, too, suffer from imperfection. We get distracted. We ask for the wrong things. But the Virgin's Mary's prayers on our behalf do not suffer from our earthly imperfections. We turn to her when we cannot see any value in turning to ourselves or to our own. How fitting that a highly intellectual symposium should finish its morning's work by turning to her. THAT is what it means to have a Catholic identity.

Digimon World 3
Review by Herugrim
"A HUGE improvement"
Just to let you know a little more about my background. I've played video games my entire life. I played Digimon World 2 about 1/2 way through, and I know quite a bit about Digimon World 1 though I never played it. I watched the entire first two seasons of Digimon, but none of the movies, scattered episodes of the 3rd and 4th series, and I've never played the card game.
Graphics: 7/10
I consider this the least important feature of an RPG, but still one that needs to be taken into consideration. The out-of-battle graphics aren't very impressive, but the in-game graphics are very good. Digimon World 2 was entirely 3-d; but in-battle, the digimon where all the same height (for each Digivolution form, i.e. Rookie, Champion, Ultimate, Mega) which resulted in Super Deformed digimon with enlarged heads and feet. The digimon in the game are at least proportional, although compared to each other they are alittle inaccurate with the series. Overall, the graphics balance out in this game, but are still an enormous improvement from the last game (in-battle at least)
Music/Sound: 5/10
The digimon don't have voices in this game(like they did in Digimon World 3). The music has this lighthearted, happy feel to it, which tends to get annoying. One interesting feature it does have is that it plays this very strange music when your Digimon becomes confused, it really adds to the feel that your digimon is indeed confused. Aside of that there really isn't anything very impressive in this game as far as that department is concerned.
Gameplay: 9/10
This is where the game really shines. The Digimon level up like any other RPG out there(they got rid of that annoying Max Level feature in Digimon World 2). At certain levels, the digimon gains a new digivolution just like in the show. In addition to that, if the right conditions are met, they can obtain other digivolutions that deviate from the normal path. Every digimon can digivolve to every other digimon above Mega, which makes up for the lack of rookies. Battles are done similar to Pokemon where you have one of your digimon battling one opponent at a time(you can also digivolve in the middle of battle in this game, unlike in Digimon World 2). You can tag one of the other two digimon you have with you in at any point during the battle in whatever digivolved form you'd like. If you are taking out a certain digimon, and putting in the right digimon, they can DNA digivolve to score an extra big attack in addition to switching the digimon. Some Digimon can only be seen through DNA Digivolution. There's also blast digivolving, which acts like the trance mode from Final Fantasy IX where your digimon digivolves to their next most powerful form even if you normally couldn't(which is very welcome when you are loosing). The difficulty seems alittle high sometimes, but it's countered with a good money system that allows you to buy a rather large amount of healing items in addition to the normal equipment upgrades. There's even an optional card game, which isn't as complicated or in-detail as the real digimon card game, but it is entertaining and different.
Storyline: 4/10
Yeah, not very impressive here. You are supposed to travel around defeating the leaders from each city to earn their badges(sound familiar). Things get complicated, of course, and you end up in a long drawn out mission. Not too bad, but not very original either.
rent or buy?
If you are a Digimon fan, this is a must have. Otherwise, I would suggest you rent it first. It can be very addicting, but that can vary person to person.
Overall, it's a huge improvement from the last Digimon World Game. They're getting close to replicating the shows Digivolution system, which is a good thing.

GCS is not a part of Northside Hospital and bills 4 times more
I was a patient of Dr. Jolly. I liked him a lot. However, after they merged with Northside Hospital, my blood tests, which I have to do often enough, were billed $1380 vs. $306. That is more than 4 times more, and I'm looking for another doctor now. I did not receive any notice about this change and the merger was explain as a good thing to me. The same guy, sitting in the same chair drew my blood, just the bill was different. I am not their patient any more.

If you have or had Cancer, you want Dr. Jolly.
Dr. Jolly is a smart, experienced, patient, enpathetic cancer Dr.. He has treated me for over 2 years now. He has almost always been dead on with diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Jolly discusses your situation with you, as a human and partner and then maps out a course of action. I have no signs of the disease anymore and feel great. Dr. Jolly is the quarterback you want in your big game in life, when everything is on the line. Dr, Jolly is a super nice person too.

I've seen Dr. Jolly for 15 years now; he's seen me thru my cancer treatments and continues to followup on my general health and look for any problems due to my previous treatments. He listens to me and answers all my questions. He never seems rushed even though he might be a bit behind on a busy day. He's very straightforward and sometimes seems a bit formal but it's just his manner. One of my favorite doctors (and I have several).

How do I remove candle wax from a wall? Burning candles on a wall sconce dripped all down the wall and onto hardwood floor.
I saw tips on removing from the hardwood, but need to know how to remove from the wall and baseboard without removing the paint.
By ldwolfe52 from Calgary, AB
Funny you should ask. Just yesterday I painted a wall with wax on it. I scraped it off, washed it with 409, and painted right over it. Today (30 hours later) it doesn't show through. Hope that took care of it. (05/07/2009)
By Glenn'sMom
Use a single-edger razor to scrape the wax off, then clean the wall and the floor. Re-apply whatever wax or finish you use on the floor. (05/07/2009)

But internet gambling sites have come up with several bizarre bets on the likelihood of hurricanes hitting America.
Some of the bets include, how many named storms and hurricanes will form in 2006? Will a Category 5 storm make landfall in the United States? How many Category 3 storms will form during this year's hurricane season?
There has been some opposition to the wagers for being tasteless, but Dave Johson, owner of WagerWeb which has taken more than 1,000 bets on hurricanes this year, doesn't think the bets go to far, 'That's why when we developed odds, we didn't touch death or destruction or whether it would make landfall,
'Most of the people wagering on hurricanes on Wagerweb.com actually reside in strike zones such as Florida and Louisiana. It is in those places where the media pays the most attention to hurricanes.'
Calvin Ayre of online casino Bodog.com, said, 'Hurricanes are a hot subject right now. Anything they have an interest in generally, they also like to bet on.'

The question of whether to bring charges against those who devised justification for the methods "is going to be more of a decision for the attorney general within the parameters of various laws and I don't want to prejudge that," Mr. Obama said. The president discussed the continuing issue of terrorism-era interrogation tactics with reporters as he finished an Oval Office meeting with visiting King Abdullah II of Jordan.
Mr. Obama also said he could support a congressional investigation into the Bush-era terrorist detainee program, but only under certain conditions, such as if it were done on a bipartisan basis. He said he worries about the impact that high-intensity, politicized hearings in Congress could have on the government's efforts to cope with terrorism.
The president had said earlier that he didn't want to see prosecutions of the CIA agents and interrogators who took part in waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics, so long as they acted within parameters spelled out by government superiors who held that such practices were legal at the time.
The vexing issue of how terrorism-era detainees held by the United States were interrogated has presented Mr. Obama with a quandary, both political and pragmatic. He harshly criticized these practices as the campaigning Democratic presidential candidate, and still feels pressure from his party's liberal wing to come down hard on it, even after the fact. But he also is being criticized by Republicans, including people as high-ranking as former Vice President Dick Cheney, who say the Bush administration doesn't get enough credit for keeping the country from a second 9/11-style attack.
Worsening Mr. Obama's dilemma: Now that he is president, he has to worry even more about the fallout of a release of government interrogation memoranda since he now oversees the entire national security establishment, including the entire spy apparatus.
Cheney said in a Fox News Channel interview that the U.S. government gained valuable intelligence from its aggressive interrogations. This came after conservatives roundly criticized Mr. Obama for releasing the internal Bush administration memos, saying that action was not in the U.S. national security interests.
The new administration's stance on Bush administration lawyers who actually wrote the memos approving these tactics has been somewhat murky. "There are a host of very complicated issues involved," Mr. Obama said Tuesday.
White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said in a television interview over the weekend that the administration does not support prosecutions for "those who devised policy." Later, White House aides said that he was referring to CIA superiors who ordered the interrogations, not the Justice Department officials who wrote the legal memos allowing them.
The president took a question on the volatile subject for the first time since he ordered the Justice Department to release top-secret Bush-era memos that gave the government's first full accounting of the CIA's use of waterboarding - a form of simulated drowning - and other harsh methods criticized as torture. The previously classified memos were released Thursday, over the objections of many in the intelligence community. CIA Director Leon Panetta had pressed for heavier censorship when they were released, but the memos were put out with only light redactions. (You can read the memos here)
Far from putting the matter in the past, the move has resulted in Mr. Obama being buffeted by increased pressure from both sides.
Republican lawmakers and former CIA chiefs have criticized Mr. Obama's decision, contending that revealing the limits of interrogation techniques will hamper the effectiveness of interrogators and critical U.S. relationships with foreign intelligence services.
The release also has appeared to intensify calls for further investigations of the Bush-era terrorist treatment program and for prosecutions of those responsible for any techniques that crossed the line into torture.
Mr. Obama banned all such techniques days after taking office. But members of Congress have continued to seek the release of information about the early stages of the U.S. response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror under former President George W. Bush. Lawsuits have been brought, seeking the same information.
Mr. Obama said an investigation might be acceptable "outside of the typical hearing process" and with the participation of "independent participants who are above reproach." This, he said, could help ensure that any investigation would be a tool to learn, not to provide partisan advantage to one side or another.
"That would probably be a more sensible approach to take," Mr. Obama said. "I'm not saying that it should be done, I'm saying that if you've got a choice."
The president made clear that his preference would be not to revisit the era extensively.
"As a general view, I do think we should be looking forward, not back," Mr. Obama said. "I do worry about this getting so politicized that we cannot function effectively and it hampers our ability to carry out critical national security operations."

If you are looking to save on hotel room rentals or if you are looking to sleep in your car, a Tesla Model 3 can come to your assistance.
With the rear seat folded flat and by covering the storage well, you will be surprised with the space of a full five and a half feet in horizontal space which is available to take a nap.
A community of enthusiasts refers to this as Tesla "Camper Mode". If you are looking to take a break on your long journey or a night break, then Tesla could come to your rescue.
The best part is you don't have the engine purring while the AC is on. The Tesla Model 3 running on a battery will be the same as the experience of sleeping in a room with AC.
Add to the lower noise levels inside your car, the panoramic view on the Tesla will give you the best of view of the nighttime sky.
There was a concern in the initial Model 3 introduction with the trunk opening being very low and small; however, sources say that the final Model 3 will be much more spacious.
With few adjustments in the Tesla Model 3, you can camp at any given point or rest for awhile before you start the journey again.

Actress Kangana Ranaut, who is often compared to actor Aamir Khan for various reasons, said at her film 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' first trailer launch that there is nothing wrong if people feel that she is following Mr. Perfectionist's footsteps.
Just like Aamir Khan, Kangana Ranaut too doesn't believe in attending award shows. In fact, though the actress won the Best Actress award at most of the popular award ceremonies for her stellar performance in 'Queen' this year, she wasn't spotted attending a single event, which also gave rise to speculations of whether or not will the leggy lass attend the National Award ceremony.
Kangana even gave up with her phone to prepare for her character, the way Khan does for most of his films.
Given the fact that she is practicing all that Aamir Khan has done for all these years, ask Kangana if she can be termed as Ms. Perfectionist of Bollywood, to which she reverts, "It wouldn't be wrong to follow Aamir Khan's footsteps if ever I want to. It is a good thing after all because he is a big star and you get to learn a lot from him."
She added further, "Also, we both are Pisces. I am born on 23rd March, which makes a total of 5, and he is born on 14th march, again making a total of 5. No wonder we have a similar nature. We both are sensitive and emotional. So that way my habits are similar to many Pisceans too."
Well, we get the point girl!

Since it's beginning to get closer and closer to Halloween, I took some time this weekend to ponder as to whether or not I should post something along the lines of a "scary movie" theme to get into the "spirit" of the season. Several of my esteemed colleagues have done some novel Halloween-themed posts; my current favorite is Stacia's She Blogged by Night, which features famous houses/structures from horror films and how they look today. Others who have taken up with horror movie-related posts include Kliph Nesteroff at Classic Television Showbiz, Caffeinated Joe, Tony Kay at Pop Culture Petri Dish, The Lightning Bug's Lair ("From the moon, baby!"), Master of My Public Domain (I might have a lawsuit here), "Uncle" Sam Taylor at Mondo 70: A Wild World of Cinema, The Shelf and Paul D. Brazill. (Oddly enough, our old pal The Retropolitan went mute this month, but he has an explanation here.)
Anyway, I was laying on my bed, staring at the shelf of DVDs along the wall…when I spotted my copy of Sparrows (1926), a wonderful suspense thriller from the silent era starring America's sweetheart, Mary Pickford—and it was like the muse of inspiration had hit me up the side of my head with a ten-pound sack of flour. Why not devote this week to reviews of noteworthy horror classics from the period when they "had faces then?"
I'll come clean at this point and confess that I don't have as many silent horror movies in my collection as I estimated, so this series will be relatively brief. Many of you may question whether Sparrows even qualifies; there aren't any supernatural or ghostly elements in the film, so to speak. But Sparrows deals with something I find far more frightening, what Arch Oboler once referred to as "the monster inside us"; and there are enough suspenseful and horrific moments in this Gothic thriller to more than qualify. (Pickford biographer Scott Eyman describes the movie as "Dickens laced with a strong dose of Edgar Allan Poe.")
Pickford plays "Mama" Molly, the oldest of a group of kids being held prisoner at a "baby farm" located in the swamps of the
Elliott Stein of The Village Voice once referred to Sparrows as "the finest film of Pickford's entire career" and while that sentiment is certainly open to lively discussion one can't deny that it isn't one of the most memorable titles on Pickford's lengthy c.v. It's rip-snortin' Gothic melodrama at its finest; containing both a larger-than-life heroine and villains in a simple story that became a huge critical and box-office success at the time of its release. The surprising aspect of this film is that it was directed by the notorious William "One-Shot" Beaudine, who began his motion picture directing career guiding the fortunes of Ham (Lloyd Hamilton) and Bud (Duncan) in comedy shorts in 1915 and finished out his profession (a staggering backlog of 350 known films) working with the Bowery Boys and Lassie (directing seventy-two installments of the popular TV series). It's one of the few prestigious pictures Beaudine held the reins on, and even then he wasn't allowed to finish it—his assistant Tom McNamara completed the film after Beaudine developed a facial paralysis brought on by the demanding Miss Pickford. Pickford, in her defense, felt Beaudine was a bit cavalier regarding the children's safety on the film—particularly in the scene where Molly and the kids navigate crossing a fallen tree branch while alligators—each of them about the size of Detroit—wait below. (In Beaudine's defense, the gators' mouths were all wired shut, but it's still impossible to watch this scene and not become more than a little concerned for the kids' safety.)
Pickford is a sheer delight in this movie: a plucky, never-say-die girl who fervently believes that it's always darkest before the dawn. Her affection for the kids in her charge will warm the cockles of any cynic's heart; she has a real rapport with the children—particularly Miller, who plays the little
If I have any quibbles about Sparrows, it's that it's a bit heavy on the religious moralizing—but even this is offset with the kids' refreshing skepticism about God ("A whole month ago you said the Lord would help us get away—what's He been doing all month?") and Molly's refreshing "Bible quotes" ("Let not thy right cheek know what thy left cheek getteth.") There is also a memorable scene where Molly—who's attending to a sick two-year-old that's not long for this world—sees a vision of Christ that appears on the inside wall of the barn…and he gathers up the child in order to take her into the kingdom of Heaven. Molly awakes from the dream to discover the baby is dead—and she gazes upward with a smile on her face, knowing that all is well. A beautiful, breathtaking moment to be sure.
Sparrows was adapted by C. Gardner Sullivan from a story written by Winifred Dunn, and at the time it was a quite timely story since there had been a series of harrowing newspaper stories about real-life baby farms. The magnificent set (courtesy of art director Harry Oliver) and expressionistic cinematography (Hal Mohr, Charles Rosher, and Karl Struss) are awe-inspiring even today, and much of this foreshadows similar sets and cinematography in the 1955 classic The Night of the Hunter. Sparrows was released to DVD in 1999 by Milestone Film and Video (in collaboration with Image Entertainment) and contains as extras a pair of D.W. Griffith-directed shorts with Pickford: Wilful Peggy (1910) and The Mender of Nets (1912). I watched these after Sparrows, but I think they are probably more suitable as appetizers—because the main feature is a film experience not soon forgotten.
