Underscoring a commitment to public service and helping to rebuild the community in the wake of the Boston Marathon attacks, Boston Bar Association President J.D. Smeallie today announced the release of two online resource packets designed to flag important issues. Potential Issues Facing Individuals Affected by the Marathon Bombings is targeted to people needing assistance -- ranging from filing One Fund claims to help seeking Federal and State benefits. Potential Legal Issues Facing Small Business Owners Affected by the Boston Marathon Bombings provides information relating to sources of assistance -- as well as insurance, real estate, bankruptcy, employment, non-profit status and other considerations. "These legal checklists were developed by a team of highly sophisticated lawyer volunteers who put great care into making the lists as comprehensive and user friendly as possible. The BBA is grateful that it could be helpful to those impacted by the bombings, and the quality of the checklists speak volumes about the dedication of our members," said Smeallie. "Our community partners -- the Mayor's Office and the Massachusetts Office of Victim Assistance -- will be sharing these resources with those in need." Just days after the bombings, the BBA put out a call for pro bono help, and now has a pool of 200 individual volunteers, 26 law firms, and 3 law schools. Volunteers have already taken dozens of pro bono cases involving both individuals and also small businesses affected by the bombings. In an effort to provide financial support as well as pro bono legal help, the Boston Bar Foundation, the charitable affiliate of the BBA, donated $25,000 to the One Fund.

Former Clemson basketball player Bryan Narcisse drafted by Harlem Globetrotters
CLEMSON Former Clemson basketball player Bryan Narcisse was drafted Tuesday by the Harlem Globetrotters, a barnstorming exhibition basketball team.
The Globetrotters also selected Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt and 2012 college slam dunk contest winner James Justice. Narcisse finished third in the 2012 slam dunk contest.
By being drafted, Narcisse will have a chance to make the Globetrotters roster during tryouts in the fall.
I was aware they had a draft, and that they wanted to draft me, Narcisse said. But I wasnt sure it would end up happening. By the grace of God it is, and Im really thankful for that. Theres something to be said about what the Globetrotters do, and thats take a positive message through basketball around the world. Having the chance to do that, Im extremely excited to be a part of that.
Narcisse helped Clemson to three straight NCAA tournament appearances in each of his first three seasons. He averaged 2.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14.6 minutes per game in his final season.
Narcisse completed his senior season in March.
John Moose Campbell is the only former Clemson basketball player to suit up for the Globetrotters.

Makeup Tutorial: Liquid Eye Makeup Lesson
Tricky? Yes. But with this liquid eyeliner shortcut even the shaky-handed can do a sleek cat eye for a glamorous look.
Before you start applying eye makeup, soak a few Q-tips in eye makeup remover so that you can correct mistakes right away. Gently pull your lid taut, and paint one continuous line of eye makeup from the inner corner out. If you find you can't paint the line on straight, draw several dashes, then connect them. If you miss spots between the lashes and the liner, use black mascara to cover the bare skin that still shows. The shiny texture matches well, and it's less risky than trying to repair with the liner.
Make sure the liner is visible when you look straight in the mirror. If the lines are too thin or they blend right into the lash line, you won't get a dramatic result. To get a super-dramatic cat eye, look at yourself straight in the mirror, then put a little "dot" just outside your outer corner to represent where you want the tail to end. If the dots on each side don't look even, just wipe one away with your Q-tip and start over. Then connect the line to the dot, and you'll have a great cat eye. Now just finish with mascara.

This is a good video but what about applying liquid eyeliner to the bottom? Probably the same but I'm one of those learners that needs to see it.

The idea of extending eye liner with a small dot is really innovative
by Pinky5 Monday, October 1, 2012 at 07:06AM Report as inappropriate
I had to give a little chuckle when I first saw this. I have been using liquid liner exclusively since high school, circa the mid-1980s. We didn't have the Internet, and I was the only one of my friends brave enough for liquid liner so I had to figure it out on my own. I would caution against the pulling of your eyelid, however. You won't be young with taut skin forever, and the less pulling you do now, the less Botox you will need later (a lesson well-learned from my late grandmother). ;-)

The cat eye tutorial was also helpful. My eyelids have kind of a sagging look so cat eye for me is not easy. I like the more dramatic cat eye effect with bottom liner too. Thank you for the tips!
by flirtygirl214 Friday, June 29, 2012 at 02:14PM Report as inappropriate
I can't do a cat eye as any line disappears into my crease (it comes down pretty low). I would almost have to go straight out to the side. :(

Thanks for the video. I struggle with a cat eye but I will try it again today after viewing this. I like the tip about doing dashes & then connect.

I was just asking for tips yesterday from a girl at Nars on doing a ct eye myself. This helps enforce what she told me.

'Tis the season for spending time with friends, coworkers, neighbors, and family—and, of course, "spending time" translates into eating food. A lot of it. But don't resign yourself to a winter of baggy sweatshirts or wait until January 1 to worry about your newly aquired gut. The No. 1 mistake people make during the holidays is self-sabotage, according to Jim White, spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. "[Gyms nationwide] are slammed the whole month of January," White says. "If you can lose weight by January 1, you'll beat the crowds." Not to mention look good in all those pictures.
Be merry this season with these tips on smart eating that will get you through holiday parties without moving up a pants size.

I don't mean your brother's wife's great great grandfather... I was just wondering if anyone in this forum has blood relatives that fought in the Civil War. If so, where from? What unit? How much do you know? Did you manage to link it back with no gaps in the lineage? (because that is the only way I can believe anyone is actually related.) About 100 people with my last name or family names were in the CW, but I doubt any are actually (blood) related to me. Thanks - Jessie |

Meet William and Charles Issemoyer of the 153rd Pa., veterans of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. Charles (on the right) was my great-grandfather, and William was his brother, my great-uncle. When I requested Charles' records from the Archives, I got a letter saying they needed over $60 for copying. Turns out it was hundreds of pages of Charles fighting the government for a disability allowance, which he never received. He claimed he was shot at Chancellorsville. The gov't concluded the wound was from a tree branch! William was captured and became a POW at that battle. These two are the reason CWi exists. Great question Burnside! |

William and Thomas Harris joined Ward's Tennessee Cavalry in 1862. I have seen the original muster sheets for the brothers. Their father had fought in Coffee's Regiment in the War of 1812. They were all from Obion County, TN in the NW corner of the state. They were both captured in 1863 on Morgan's raid. Ward's Regiment is also known as the 9th Ten. Cav and the 15th Ten. Cav. Depends on who is refering to it. Union records dealt with it differently than the CSA. I have copies of their Camp Douglas prisoner of war records then their transfer to Lookout Point Maryland. After the war, William Harris got married and had a daughter named Lucy Pearl. She had a daughter named Laura May who married a man by the name of Good. Their daughter was my grandmother. My great-grandmother, Laura May died two years ago at the age of 95 I believe. She loved her family history and traced the Harris family line back to Sir William Harris who landed in Jamestown in 1616. There are about 8 William's in that family line. |

Mom's Great Grandfathers: Eli Ardoin, 28th (29th) Louisiana Infantry (discharged with illness, mentioned in the official records as "____ Ardoin" for messing with the conscriptors later in the war) Thomas Pendergrast, 8th Louisiana Infantry (50 year old private, wounded in the abdomen at 1st Winchester and captured after town was recaptured, exchanged in time for the march north in 1863. His next battle up was second Battle of Winchester, he got sick the day of that engagement with hemroids and missed that charge. Did make the charge to the top of Cemetary Hill at Gettysburg but after that battle he was in the Confederate equivalent of the Invalid Corps mostly around Lynchburg until the end of the war). Still researching Dad's Grear Grandfathers: Alexander F. White, 9th Texas Cavalry, rode with Sul Ross and Forrest William H. White, 13th (Waller's) Texas Cavalry Battalion, wounded just before the Red River Campaign, shortly after joining. |

I have several great grandfathers who fought for the Confederacy during the Civil War. Jacob King, my grandmother's great grandfather, was in a North Carolina regiment in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. I have not been able to locate the regiment, but King is somewhat of a local hero and I have been promised his records from Appomattox. My grandfather's great grandfather was Newt Seay of the 10th Arkansas, a veteran of Shiloh, though he died of disease in 1863. Another great grandfather was in a Tennessee cavalry unit, though I cannot find any information past that. Last edited on Wed Aug 16th, 2006 05:20 pm by James Longstreet |

I've done the geneology, etc. My G-G-Grandfather, Henry V. Flowers was with the 6th Tennessee Cavalry (Federal) under Col. Fielding Hurst. This unit was raised in McNairy County, Tennessee. My G-G- Grandfather got to the rank of Sergeant, but was busted back to Private for, I think, going AWOL. This unit was an arch enemy of Gen. N. B Forrest (Forrest said that any memeber of this unit, if captured, were not to be treated as prisoners of war, but to be treated as outlaws and to be dealt with accordingly). I think, but I have yet to research it, that his wife had brothers that fought for the Confederacy. Albert Sailhorst, Scott's Battery |

Longstreet, Using the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System I found only three Jacob Kings who fought for North Carolina and they served in the 25th, 56th and 58th Infantry regiments. The 58th did not serve with the ANV so that narrows it down. If you know what county he came from you might be able to nail his unit. Best regards, Tom |

I have be able to identify 11 veterans so far. Eight of them fought for the South, my G-Great Uncle served in the Confederate Navy for about six months then resigned and became a blockade runner, he was captured and imprisoned at Ft. Warren, his father, my G-G-Great Grandfather, was also captured on board a blockade runner and was imprisoned at Ft. Warren. These gentlemen are from my paternal Grandmother's side of the family. From my maternal Grandmother's side, I have a G-Great Grandfather and two G-Great Uncles that served in Company F of the 46th Georgia. On my paternal Grandfather's side or I guess you can say my direct line, I have identified three that served the Union. One was in the 7th Connecticut Inf, one was a Chaplain for the 72nd Ill. Inf. and one was an Assistant Surgeon in the 8th N.Y National Guard. Will Barnes |

Al Casey
Al Casey
Renowned for his long collaboration with Fats Waller, Al Casey towers alongside the finest acoustic guitarists of the swing era, boasting a subtly powerful presence that flourished in intimate musical contexts. Born September 15, 1915, in Louisville, KY, Casey was a child prodigy who first adopted the violin, briefly moving to the ukulele before zeroing in on the guitar, which he studied at New York City's DeWitt Clinton High School. He joined Waller while in his mid-teens, recommended to the legendary pianist by his uncles, who met Waller while on tour with their gospel group the Southern Singers. Waller insisted Casey remain in school and earn his diploma before he could join the group full-time, but the guitarist was a fixture of recording sessions from the early '30s onward, and even joined Waller on tour during extended holiday breaks. Casey remained with the group until Waller's 1943 death, appearing on more than 200 classic swing sides; the famous blues number "Buck Jumpin'" took shape after Casey appeared late to a gig, prompting Waller to single him out on-stage and invite him to play a solo. The result was so electrifying that it was later captured in the studio.

I am a software developer in Canada. 2 years ago, a close friend referred me a business owner who is running Futures trading firm(12+ employees) in Chicago. He need some system to help them manage trading strategies and formulas.
Friend asked if I want to join because I was working in a financial firm and know a special technology to solve the problem.(Using expensive IBM servers) I did not join the team. They hired few full time developers to build the system for 2 years and could not solve the problem.
I realized that this might have potential market (targeting small trading firms). And now I am ready to build open source system to solve that type problems. But I want do some marketing research to make sure there really have buyers there. Because most of the firm is hiring developers to build custom system in house, I am not sure if my solution will be a good fit.
Try to contact the business owner, but he left the company. Is there anyway to get in touch with those trading firms? Is it okay to make cold call to ask if they need the product? Any better idea?

This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips, dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty.

Irena Sharoshkina Boostani came to the United States in 1998 with $450 and few plans.
After growing up in a small town in Russia, she met a Peace Corps volunteer from California who told her she should consider moving to America. As soon as she could, Boostani headed for Los Angeles.
Boostani, now a 35-year-old mother of two, has dual citizenship in Russia and the United States after marrying an American citizen.
"The duality is really an opportunity to bring the two homes together," said Boostani, who lives in San Diego. "My existing home is definitely America -- there is no question in my mind. My mom and dad are still in Russia, and having that dual citizenship is peace of mind I can go back and forth. It feels free, it really does."
It is nearly impossible to estimate how many U.S. citizens have dual -- or even triple -- citizenships, says Michael A. Olivas, an immigration professor at the University of Houston Law Center.
It's like estimating "how many people in the United States have blue eyes," he says, because there is no single registry of these individuals, and the numbers change so rapidly.
The number is likely well over 1 million, he says, and is probably several times that.
For those millions, the road to holding two passports is not always simple.
The United States does not formally or officially recognize dual citizenship, says Daniel Cosgrove, a spokesman for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
During the naturalization ceremony, individuals officially become U.S. citizens when they take the Oath of Allegiance to the United States. The text of the naturalization oath became regulation in 1929 and states, "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen."
In practice, the naturalization oath means if naturalized citizens were ever faced with a choice of allegiance to the United States or a different nation, they have an obligation to choose the United States, says Michael Wildes, a partner in the New York-based immigration firm Wildes & Weinberg, which has represented high-profile clients including John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
The understanding, Wildes says, is a U.S. citizen will "work in concert with the U.S. Constitution but never against it."
Pledging allegiance
There are large contingents of U.S. citizens who are also citizens of Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom, Olivas says, though dual citizens represent a host of other countries.
Charles Foster, a former senior policy adviser to George W. Bush and a managing partner at FosterQuan, one of the largest immigration law firms in the United States, says he tells clients dual citizenship can be viewed as "two for the price of one."
"You don't have to make an agonizing decision to give up citizenship. You can have both," he says.
According to the U.S. State Department website, federal law "does not mention dual nationality or require a person to choose one citizenship or another."
It is possible to become a dual citizen in the United States in several ways, says Catherine Wilson, an associate professor of political science at Villanova University who specializes in immigration politics.
These include being born in the United States to at least one immigrant parent whose home country grants the child automatic citizenship, or being born in certain countries to at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen.
If not a citizen by birth, people can go through the naturalization process in the United States and remain dual citizens if they are not required to renounce citizenship in their countries of origin.
Issues of dual citizenship become complicated because they are unique to each country and depend on the relationship each has with the United States.
Although many countries allow dual citizenship with the United States, several require renunciation of citizenship in the country of origin if an individual becomes naturalized as a U.S. citizen -- a process known as forced expatriation. Those countries, according to the Migration Policy Institute, include Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Kenya, Botswana, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand and India, among others.
In general, it is harder to gain dual citizenship with a country the United States "does not have a favorable relationship with, or is at war with," Wilson says.
Since the founding of the United States, leaders have been concerned about Americans' political loyalty, Wilson says.
There was "the concern that even people who would be our leaders would have these foreign allegiances that would lead them astray and have them sympathize on behalf of foreign powers," she says.

TSMC and Mentor Graphics recently held a joint Marketing seminar (06/25/09) for mutual customers to go over the new DFM requirements at 45/40 nm. (In my first post, I mused about the implications of making some DFM analysis steps mandatory.)

In my previous post about TSMC making some DFM analysis steps mandatory at 45nm, I ended with a question about why the foundries can't just write better design rules (and rule decks) to make sure all designs yield well. This is a topic that has been discussed elsewhere, but here's my take on it. If we take a step back for a moment, there is something generic about DFM analysis that needs to be considered. … Read More
If you are a TSMC customer, no doubt you have heard that TSMC has announced that for 45nm (and presumably beyond), LPC and VCMP are mandatory for block/chip. What does this mean? It means that TSMC is requiring lithography and planarity analysis for all 45nm designs. Their website says customers can either run it themselves, or contract TSMC services to do it. The most cost-effective way would be for … Read More

Legendary Vietnamese Gen. Giap Dies
Account By James Hookway in The Wall Sreet Journal on the death of Gen. Giap.
Fifty-nine years ago, Vietnam's Gen. Vo Nguyen Giap rang a death knell for Western colonialism in Asia, masterminding the defeat of France's armed forces at the battle of Dien Bien Phu in northern Vietnam. He later went on to play a crucial role in forcing the U.S. out of Vietnam, burnishing his standing as one of the 20th century's most important military leaders.
But at the time of his death—in a Hanoi military hospital Friday at the age of 102—Gen. Giap was engaged in a fresh battle: This time, to protect Vietnam's fragile ecology from the strip mining driven by its fast-growing economy and that of its giant neighbor, China.
Gen. Giap's re-emergence as an eco-warrior in his twilight years was typical of his unconventional style, and demonstrated how he never quite fit in with the Communist Party ideologues who later came to run Vietnam, even as they promoted the nationalist cult that soon grew up around the feisty commander.

Transcript: Blogging (Part 2): Growing into blogging
Hat-tip to Holly Tse for organizing this interview! At the end of the blog series, I'll put them all together in a text file and a PDF that you can read easily, and I'll add insights you and other people might share along the way. =) (Find previous entries) Here's the second chunk!
Holly Tse: Yeah, you mentioned to me that you have [around] 2,000 readers for your blog. Now, how did that grow to that level?
SC: Oh, one reader at a time, I'd guess. I started off writing just about very technical things. I'd been using my blog as a way to take notes in university, so I wrote about my philosophy classes, computer science, and some of the open source programs I was working on. As I started publishing my notes, I saw that, hey, you know, this is a great way to learn from other people. I'd write about something, and then always, someone would come along with an even better way to do things, or would come along and say, "Thank you for sharing that. You saved me five minutes" or "…two hours", or "You saved me a day of searching around and trying things out."
As I figured out that hey, this is really useful for technical discovery, I started using it as well to write about other things I was figuring out. Personal finance, life after university… all these things.
I guess people like the fact that I'm figuring things out, I'm optimistic about it, I'm trying my best to write about all these different things that I'm learning because I know that if I don't write it down, I'm going to forget, and then I'm going to have to go through the entire process of learning things again. Whereas if I write things down, then other people might be able to learn from that too.
HT: It sounds like a really good learning tool for yourself and for others, then.
SC: In fact, a lot of people have started looking at blogs and social networks in terms of personal learning networks (PLN). So that's the educational jargon around it: personal learning networks. It's not just about the notes that you keep. If you think about the kinds of blogs that you'd like to subscribe to so that you can learn from something from them, the kinds of people who inspire you–role models–because you can probably find their blogs or find them on social networks and add that kind of regular inspiration to life.
There's so much that you can learn that isn't in a textbook or isn't in a commercial page or all that stuff. You can learn from people's stories, and that's an incredible thing. If you have a blog, then you can tell your own stories, and you can write about what all these other things make you think. How they inspire you. How you're putting that inspiration to good use in your life. It's an excellent way to build those relationships.
Tune in next Thursday for the next part in this series! I'll add new entries to the Discovering Yourself through Blogging page to make it easier for you to find them.

[Hook: Snoop Lion / Cori B.]
Cause, no guns are allowed, in here tonight
We're gonna have a free-for-all, no fights
I wanna get lost in the crowd, in here tonight
I need to hear my thoughts, turn the music up loud
[Hook: Snoop Lion]
Let the music play, me don't want no more gunplay
When the bodies hit the ground, there's nothing left to say, ay, ay
Me don't want to see no more innocent blood shed
Me don't want to see no more youth dead
Come hear me now

Given the popularity of 'Battle Cry' in the short space that it has been live on GTO, I see potential for other fast play hex based war games.
'Hold the Line' from Worthington Games http://www.worthingtongames.com/ is very similar in scope to 'Battle Cry', possibly one step up the complexity ladder as it includes slightly more unit types. I also think it will appeal to those who do not like the Card based Flank centric, play of the latter but still enjoy the horse and musket period of conflict.
Covering both the AWI and the French & Indian wars, and the ability to play the scenarios from it's predecessor "Clash for a Continent" it offers 32 scenarios, out of the box as it were, and an additional 2 scenarios available for download on the web site, as are the rules.
With 'Battle Cry' under the programmers belt this game will give great 'bang for the buck' or at least reduce the development curve, as the game board and terrain tiles are the same, tactics are similar and no cards are involved.
If you have not tried it, take a look. As a die Hard Command and Colors fan I feel almost guilty to admit that I prefer the 'Hold the Line" game mechanics. To the point that I have even attempted to use the rules with 'Battle Cry' scenarios and 10mm figures.
Food for thought for Jay and co, and a heads up for those who discovered 'Battle Cry' via GTO and are considering getting a good war game to play in the real world too.
* Disclaimer, I am only a fan of the game and have no connection with Worthington*

Melbourne Park has always been a happy hunting ground for Marcos Baghdatis.
An Australian Open junior champion in 2003, he reached the fourth round of the men's event in 2005, his then-best result at a major tournament. In 2006 he out-did that in a big way, enjoying a fairytale run to the final and captivating the crowds along the way with his audacious shotmaking and sunny demeanour.
That result was the highlight of a career-best season for the Cypriot, who rose to world No.8 shortly after reaching the Wimbledon semifinals.
Since then, it's been a bumpier ride. There have been injuries – including a fractured wrist, ailing back and dodgy shoulder – which impeded his progress, and a loss of conditioning. But after a bit of pin-balling about the chart, his ranking appears to be going in the right direction once again.
It should continue doing so after Wednesday's win over Japan's Tatsuma Ito on Hisense Arena, in which he recovered from a slow start to win 3-6 6-3 6-2 6-2. It sends him into the third round of Australian Open 2013, where he will face No.4 seed David Ferrer.
"I think about that amazing run (at Australian Open 2006). It's always in the back of my head. And I'm very proud of that. But I think my game today, I think tennis since changed a lot, it's developed a lot in different ways, and it's a bit harder," Baghdatis said.
"But I think I am playing even better than what I used to play."
That certainly looked to be true when Baghdatis opened the match with an immediate break and then held break points for a 3-0 lead. Yet as Ito settled, he began to match it with, and beat, the Cypriot from the baseline. Baghdatis' vaunted shotmaking was curiously absent as the smaller Japanese player – an inch shorter and eight kilograms lighter – dictated the play, breaking serve in the eighth game and then serving out the first set.
Baghdatis had managed just two winners in the opening stanza to Ito's nine, more content to rally far behind the baseline than step in and rip his groundstrokes.
It may have had something to do with the pressure he felt of playing front of his large and omnipresent band of Greek Cypriot supporters, a group he said he always wants to play well for.
"I use it positively. But the pressure is there when you have a big following in Melbourne," he admitted.
"It's a nice thing and a nice feeling. Don't take me wrong, it's a nice feeling and just a small pressure that I want to make them happy."
His fans certainly would have been, as the Cypriot soon began to wrest control of proceedings. The winners started to flow more frequently, and began approaching Ito's tally. Although games went on serve for much of the second set, Baghdatis finally converted one of his many break point opportunities in the eighth game and promptly held serve to level the match.
Soon it was conditioning that was to become the decisive factor. In a match between two players who had battled for five sets in the first round to reach this stage, played in blazing sun and heat that had both players reaching for the ice-towels, the Cypriot came up trumps. He can put that down to his rigorous training regime in the off-season between 2010 and 2011, during which he shed four kilograms and almost five body-fat percentage points.
His superior conditioning – which he has maintained – was evident as the match progressed.
In both the third and fourth sets Baghdatis went for the jugular, breaking serve at his first opportunity on both occasions. And as Ito's game collapsed in a sea of lethargic errors – he finished with 53 – the 28th seed began to flaunt the repertoire that first lit up the courts all those years ago in Melbourne.
After serving out the match to love, he'll be hoping those reflex passing shots, deft lobs and forcing groundstrokes help him through to the fourth round, a mark he has not reached at a Grand Slam event in four years.
"For sure (I believe I can come back to my former level), that's why I'm still playing tennis. That's my main goal … the last six months of last year were pretty good and I'm happy with the way I'm playing at the beginning of this year, and I think it's a matter of time," he said.
"I cannot say this year I'll be top 10, but if it's this year or next year, I'll try my best."

ENTREPRENEUR: Jeff Wolsky
PITCH: The Bobble Place, producer of custom-made bobbleheads.
ASKING FOR: $75,000k for an 18% stake.
BEST PART OF THE PITCH: Jeff can make custom-made bobbleheads from photos provided by the client. He even brings in some sample bobbleheads of the sharks. All the heads bobble, but only the likeness of Kevin O. is seen holding a handful of cash. Jeff has an existing online business and wants to launch a separate company to set up retail kiosk locations in shopping malls.
DO THE SHARKS BITE? Jeff appears to be hiding the fact that he has an existing online business that makes seven figures. Several sharks want a piece of that action before investing in this new business. Kevin H., Daymond and Barbara are out right away. Kevin O. offers Jeff the $75k for an 18% stake in his existing business. He also forbids him from any more mall talk, as he thinks it's more important to see the already successful business grow. Jeff says he doesn't need the money for his existing company and declines the offer. Kevin O. then offers $100k for 20% and Robert offers $125k for 20%. Jeff counters by saying he'll accept both offers, but Robert and Kevin O. only get 10% each.
RESULT: Jeff is asked to leave the room while Robert and Kevin O. chat. They realize that Jeff doubled the price once Robert got involved. They call Jeff back and offer $100k for 20%. Jeff declines and Robert goes back to his original offer. That's still not good enough for Jeff, who offers 7% for 100k. Robert thinks this relationship is a little too complicated and he's out. The sharks do get to keep the bobbleheads though.

School of Health Sciences
Exercise Science
The Trine University Exercise Science major is designed to give you the knowledge and experiences you need to become an effective role model and leader of a wellness lifestyle.
Pre-physical therapy track
Trine University's pre-physical therapy track enables students in any major to prepare for the application requirements of U.S. physical therapy programs.
Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program
The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program at Trine University will provide students with the skills and expertise needed for a rewarding career as a professional physical therapist. As a member of the Life Sciences Consortium of Northeast Indiana*, Trine University is able to provide its students with an unparalleled combination of highly qualified faculty, state-of-the-art facilities and vital, real-world clinical education experiences.
* The Life Science Education and Research Consortium of Northeast Indiana is a regional initiative to align and leverage education, applied research, business incubation and economic development resources focusing on life sciences and health care. Consortium members include Trine University, Parkview Hospital, Huntington University, Ivy Tech Community College, and Fort Wayne Community Schools. The Consortium is committed to generating a world-class center with a focus on rehabilitation, senior care and behavioral health.
Graduation from a physical therapist education program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE), 1111 North Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314; phone; 703-706-3245; email@example.com is necessary for eligibility to sit for the licensure examination, which is required in all states.
Trine University is seeking accreditation of a new physical therapist education program from CAPTE. The program will submit an Application for Candidacy, which is the formal application required in the pre-accreditation stage. Submission of this document does not assure that the program will be granted Candidate for Accreditation status. Achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status is required prior to implementation of the professional phase of the program; therefore, no students may be enrolled in professional courses until Candidate for Accreditation status has been achieved. Further, though achievement of Candidate for Accreditation status signifies satisfactory progress toward accreditation, it does not assure that the program will be granted accreditation.

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This started out really well and at about 2/3rds distance just completely went off the rails and ended in, for me, a disappointing mess. Set in a well to do house, pre-WW1, that's clearly fallen on bad times, it takes place on Emerald's 20th birthday. Her step father is off on business, trying to save them from losing the house while she has guests over for a dinner party. So there's a fair amount of to-do, what with the guests arriving and one of the housemaids being off ill. There's also a fair amount of family angst going in, with Emerald's brother Clovis being a typical bothersome brother and their younger sister Imogen (Smudge) who seems to be poorly. Clovis is sent to the station to collect patience & her brother Ernest from the station, only they end up being gone a long time, returning with the nes that there's been a train accident on the branchline and that the railway need to send the passengers up to the house to shelter. Emerald manages to be the level headed mature one, while her mother seems to shrink from the passengers and is quite cruel and rather snobbish. Then a further guests appears and the front door and promptly invites himself to dinner, claiming acquaintance with Charlotte (the mother). He is clearly a bounder and a cad, but is older and so manages to overwhelm by sheer force of personality the other males at the dinner party. things get increasingly out of hand, with the number of stranded passengers seeming to increase and become more and more demanding and unruly. All the while, Smudge embarks on her great undertaking (which is just brilliantly funny and I really won't give that away). And it's somewhere here that it goes wrong for me. Emerald & the younger members of the party come good and rally round to aid the passengers, while Charlotte goes all self centered and shuts herself away. Then the caddish passenger who's infiltrated the party introduces a game that turns really quite nasty, resulting in revelations about Charlotte's youth that do not reflect well on her. And then the bombshell hits (spoiler time) and the guests is revealed as a ghost who's died in the train accident, only his proximity and strong passions for Charlotte cause him to materialise and drags the other dead souls with him. And so it limps on to the end becoming ever more far fetched, and the ending is completely unsatisfactorily resolved. So Its 4 stars for the first 2/3rds but the final section drops that score to a merely Ok 2 because I was so disappointed in it. If it had been sustained it would have been a stonking good book. Wow. What on earth was that? I was not expecting this book when I picked it up. I was expecting a straightforward turn-of-the-century novel about a family in a manor which in a way it was except it's a very absurd and plain odd novel taking place over the course of just one day. It starts conventionally enough - a family on the verge of ruin invites a few people to celebrate one of the daughters' birthday. Unfortunately it's also the day when a dreadful railway accident happens with over fifty deaths. The 'survivors' are sent to the house as they wait for more suitable accommodation while the family tries to get the party going as normal. And then, it becomes plain bizarre. It read like a fairytale. The language is exquisite - nothing to criticize here and the characters are strange, not exactly fleshed out though we spend a lot of time with them I really couldn't warm up to them and in a way that's not what they were for. The whole book felt like an exercise in writing, something you do to challenge yourself not get published. I don't think I'll rate this book, which is a first for me, as I have absolutely no idea how I felt about this strange thing, other than utterly flabbergasted. It wasn't unpleasant but it wasn't particularly nice either. It was unsettling. If you are in the mood for a novel that you absolutely cannot predict, feel free to grab this. Great characterisation and poor everything else. What an extremely contrived and pretentious plot. What a strange and quirky book this was! The momentum builds and the plot gets hectic and then you are brought around to a good story, and funny at times, and a mystery indeed! Loved it. Another book that sat on my TBR shelf for some time, but this makes these books a joy to find. This is a very different story from Sadie Jones 1st 2 novels and while well written I found it a much less engaging read. Although another historical novel, there is no social justice angle, which lent the earlier novels weight. There are just too many country house novels around at the moment and I'm bored with reading about the so called problems of the landed gentry (or those posing as the landed gentry) to maintain their country piles while doing nothing useful with their lives and living off the blood, sweat & tears of their forelock tugging servants. The characters in this novel have few redeeming features & it was hard to feel any empathy with any of them, except perhaps for Smudge & her adventures with her pony in the bedroom! A strange mix of ghost story & farce.
How to describe The Uninvited Guests? Well, that's part of the fun. Sadie Jones' outstanding new novel starts out by offering mischievous echoes of Downton Abbey and Upstairs Downstairs -- tempered, however, by a somewhat unsentimental vision of a decaying Edwardian England foolishly complacent in its sense of privilege and entitlement. But by the end, we have landed somewhere else: into a surrealistic universe reminiscent of filmmaker Luis Bunuel at his most unsettling. Also, let it be noted, into an eerily convincing ghost story...Further evidence that Sadie Jones is a stunningly original writer. The Uninvited Guests is her best book yet. Downton Abbey meets The Others, anyone?..The result is a playful and rollicking tale, with writing that crackles with originality and wit. The supernatural element is not truly frightening and never threatens to dominate proceedings; it instead acts as a conduit for the main characters' journeys. Full marks to them for publishing it in a way that accurately reflects its complexities. All the same, some of Sadie Jones's readers are likely to be a little bewildered....The novel is a ghost story, but disappointingly the ghosts are sad or sinister rather than scary...Stylish, witty and inventive it may be, but The Uninvited Guests is perhaps too much about the writer at play to satisfy Sadie Jones's hungry fans. The Woman in Black meets Downton Abbey in this happy marriage of ghost story and country house dramaSadie Jones's highly entertaining third novel seems perfectly conceived to appeal to two current popular tastes – our fascination with the Edwardian country house and the revival of the English ghost story. The Uninvited Guests marks a stylistic departure for Jones too – on the surface the tone is lighter and more comic than her two previous novels...ones shows that she can turn her talent for storytelling to a more stylised form with a light and playful touch, and without compromising her sharp insights into the human heart.
