Hi guys!
I just received my IW Oddment Pack A in the mail, and I thought that the lolitas of egl might be interested in checking it out.
I ordered an IW Oddment Pack A, and I wasn't let down by what I received!
First up, we have my unboxing video.
I was so excited to open it though, that I derped out and put my camera in portrait. Go me!
(Apologies for being such a dweeb in my video, I was ridiculously excited!)
So, after filming my unboxing video I set to work on properly opening and photographing my new pieces. Funnily enough, I realised that all of my blouses were short sleeved when I opened them! ahah
Also, finding stock listings turned out to be much easier than I thought it would be. (I got lucky and everything still had tags attached.)
In total, I received 17 items! Here they all are, complete with product names and a listing of any damage I found:
From Left to right:
-Petit Ribbon Blouse in White, Size L, no damage spotted
-Round Collar Ribbon Pullover, no damage spotted
-Round Collar Ribbon Short-Sleeved Blouse in Beige, Size S, no damage spotted
-Rose Cotton Lace Blouse Beige x Brown, Size L, no damage spotted
-Heart Decollete Blouse in Beige, Size M, no damage spotted
-Tuck Frill Short-Sleeved Blouse in Brown, Size S, no damage spotted
-Cecilia JSK in White, slight run on chest section (total of 1cm in length)
This is super adorable! I just wish that it was longer in the bodice, since the waist of the dress sits a little high on me.
-Stripe Round Collar Flare OP in Gray, size L, seam coming apart for 3cm beneath left sleeve
My second favourite piece from the pack! Unfortunately, I'm stumped as to how I can coordinate it with my wardrobe.
-Natalia OP in Navy, no damage spotted
A slightly odd item, but it's actually rather flattering when worn. I think it'll be cute for otome wear.
-Square Yoke Doll OP in Navy, no damage spotted
Another interesting piece. It's designed to be a loose fit, but the waist ties at the back help give it a bit of structure. An extra centimeter in the sleeves would have been nice though.
-Standing Collar Lacy OP, no damage spotted
A very OTT piece. The lower lace sleeve section is removable (it's just attached with buttons and elastic.) If I end up keeping this piece I think I might unpick the lace around the hem of the dress and the sleeves.
-Bouquet Stripe JSK in Wine, Size M, no damage spotted
I thought this would be nice for casual wear but unfortunately the bodice of the dress looks odd one me. It's since been sold.
-Checkered Lace Up JSK in Brown, not damage spotted
My favourite piece in the pack! If it wasn't for the IW tag, I would have thought that this was an Amavel item (they're an otome brand.) The weather is cooling down over here so I can picture myself wearing this with oxfords, thigh highs, and a beret.
-Margit Pants in Grey, no damage spotted
These are super cute but I can't see myself wearing them. The lace IW used is amazing though.
-Cross Lace Cameo Head Bow in Brown, no damage spotted
-Knee High Socks with Wide Lace, faint yellow marks around ankle
-Merry-Go-Round bag in Bordeaux, slight glue mark
The head bow matches a fair bit in my wardrobe (hurruh) but the bag isn't quite the right colour for anything I own, it's such a shame though because it is very cute. As for the socks, I look a little odd in anything knee high so they'll have to go :/
All in all, I'm very impressed with my pack. Kudos to IW as well, since they gave me pretty cohesive items! I think that a lot of the pieces will be staying, mainly because they fit with the classic part of my wardrobe rather well :)
All of this content has been made re-bloggable on my tumblr
~Thank you for looking!~

A fire damaged the Citizens grain elevator in Charlotte Thursday morning. Eyewitnesses tell News 10 they heard an explosion before flames broke out in the building at 421 North Cochran Avenue.
Charlotte Fire Chief Kevin Fullerton says firefighting crews and equipment were called from Olivet, Eaton Rapids, Grand Ledge, Potterville and Vermontville to help his department fight the fire.
The crews used four aerial tankers to pump four-thousand gallons of water a minute on the flames.
Chief Fullerton says all workers got out safely and there were no injuries.
The plant's owner says the damage is considerably less than originally thought, mainly contained in the fourth floor of the structure.

In the court of public opinion, Rep. Brian Higgins wins a decisive verdict.
Higgins gets a favorable rating from nearly 8 in 10 voters, according to a Siena College poll commissioned by The Buffalo News and WGRZ-TV.
"You rarely see elected officials get favorability ratings in the upper 70s," said Siena pollster Steven A. Greenberg. "Truly phenomenal numbers, and they're across-the-board."
Nearly 6 in 10 voters also have a favorable opinion of Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz, though he remains unknown to 2 in 10 voters.
And 51 percent of city voters think New York State is on the right track.
The telephone survey asked a series of questions about leaders in the city to 966 registered voters Aug. 11-13.
Higgins was the clear favorite among five public officials who were the subjects of survey questions.
Darryl Ellis, 74, said he likes how Higgins got the New York Power Authority to improve the waterfront and credited him with bringing progress to the outer harbor.
"There was nothing going on," said Ellis, who lives on the West Side.
Pat Hogan, 49, said he likes how Higgins opened up more places for fishing.
"He's getting us access back from all the manufacturing plants that are closed," said Hogan, who lives in South Buffalo and likes to fish at the Union Ship Canal.
Citywide, 77 percent of voters said they had a favorable opinion of Higgins, and 14 percent said they had an unfavorable opinion. Nine percent said they had no opinion, or didn't know.
"When you work hard to do good things for the community, you are fortunate enough to represent, politics has a way of working itself out," Higgins said in a statement.
The Democratic congressman, who represents Buffalo, Niagara Falls and surrounding suburbs, gets an 80 percent favorable rating among Democrats, but also has a 57 percent favorable rating among Republicans. A favorable opinion of him was expressed by 8 in 10 white voters and 7 in 10 black voters.
Poloncarz, a Democrat who was elected county comptroller in 2005 and county executive in 2011, has a favorable rating of 59 percent and an unfavorable rating of 21 percent. When the pool of respondents is separated by party, 63 percent of Democrats have a favorable opinion of him, while 46 percent of Republicans do. When the pool is separated by race, 63 percent of white voters have a favorable opinion of him, and 49 percent of black voters do.
One in 5 voters didn't know Poloncarz or had no opinion of him, a figure that holds true even when the pool of voters is limited to Democrats. A third of black voters and nearly 2 in 5 voters younger than 35 did not have an opinion of him.
Poloncarz said that many residents aren't aware of the services the county provides and that he was "not totally surprised" by the number of city voters who don't know who he is.
"One thing I've learned is, even after six years as comptroller, that some people are unaware of who their representatives are," he said.
Poloncarz hasn't been visible enough and hasn't championed issues enough, said Bruce L. Fisher, director of the economics and finance department at SUNY Buffalo State.
"He's put things forward but he's not been an effective, penetrating, relentless advocate for any specific thing," said Fisher, who was deputy county executive for eight years under Joel A. Giambra.
Greenberg, the pollster, had a different take, saying that Poloncarz is doing well with voters and that it's not uncommon for city voters, such as the pool in this poll, to know about their city government more than their county government.
The poll showed Mayor Byron W. Brown's favorability rating at 58 percent among voters of all political affiliations; developer and School Board member Carl P. Paladino's at 44 percent, with an unfavorable rating of 47 percent; and School Superintendent Pamela C. Brown's at 28 percent, with a 35 percent unfavorable rating.
The responses to the question about whether New York State is on the right track should not be construed as a measure of whether voters think Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is doing a good job, said Greenberg. Cuomo's favorability was not polled. "It's sort of a combination of politics and economics," Greenberg said. "People bring to that question what they want."
More Buffalo voters think New York State is headed in the right direction, compared with those in the rest of the state, and are much more optimistic than the general upstate population.
While 51 percent of Buffalo voters think the state is on the right track, and 35 percent think it is headed in the wrong direction, a statewide Siena poll Aug. 4-7 found that 47 percent of voters think the state is on the right track and that 40 percent do not. However, just 41 percent of upstate voters think the state is on the right track, while 49 percent think it is headed in the wrong direction.

'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' creators Mike Schur and Dan Goor on following up 'Parks and Recreation'
Their new FOX comedy with Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher isn't a mockumentary
One of this fall's most promising new series is FOX's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," a new comedy starring Andy Samberg as a wisecracking but effective NYPD detective, Andre Braugher as his disapproving new boss and Terry Crews, Joe Lo Truglio and Chelsea Peretti, among others, as their co-workers. (It premieres, like FOX's other Tuesday comedies, on September 17, and will air at 8:30, right before "New Girl.") Part of the promise comes from that cast, and part from the creative team of Mike Schur and Dan Goor, who have spent the last five seasons working together on a little show called "Parks and Recreation." (Schur will split time between the two, while Goor is now full-time on "Brooklyn.")
Back in June, I sat down with Schur and Goor to discuss the process of getting a new comedy off the ground. They were spending the day considering stories for the first few episodes after the pilot, and whether they wanted to be married to certain character traits — that Samberg's character, for instance, will eat anything you put in front of him — for the life of what they hope will be a long-running series.
It's a long conversation (as my interviews with Schur inevitably wind up being) but I think illuminating about the challenges and opportunities for a show at this early stage of development.
Note: the conversation picks up in Goor's office while Schur is busy on a phone call. Goor and I had just finished discussing our mutual admiration for "Barney Miller," which both Goor and Schur have said is an obvious influence on "Brooklyn," when I turned the recorder on.
So your characters aren't specifically homicide cops, but there are dead people in your pilot. How do you make a comedy with that as an element?
Dan Goor: Well, there's a dead person in the room. We talked a lot about that. And you'll notice we don't spend a lot of time with the dead person. You'll also notice the dead person is not in the apartment when they go to the apartment; they've already gotten rid of the dead person. There are pictures of the dead person, which we undercut with the pictures of the food on the neighbor's mouth. One thing I would say is real cops have real gallows senses of humor and make incredibly funny and inappropriate jokes in the presence of dead people all the time.
Certainly. And "Homicide" did a lot with that and "The Wire" did a lot with that.
Dan Goor: And "M*A*S*H." "M*A*S*H" was also a precedent for us where it's like where Hawkeye Pierce is a cut up, but he's also an incredibly good surgeon. And the stakes of what they are doing are real and high. And when he's doing it he's a good at his job and he's not messing around. But they're able to make jokes while there are people dying all around them. There is an element of it being the only way to survive this job that I think we also have in this pilot. "Monk" did it. We were watching to see how different crime shows do cutaways and things. And there's a "Monk" episode where there's maybe 55 shots of a dead person in the first four minutes. That's an hour long (show) and a little less of a …
But still the bulk of it is played for laughs.
Dan Goor: Right. But we've talked a lot about how we think it would be funny if there's a really hot medical examiner that Jake is always flirting with. And just below the frame is the gore of a body.
As soon as you mention "M*A*S*H," it immediately clicks into place that Andre Braugher is Harry Morgan.
Dan Goor: Yes and no. In the first episode that Harry Morgan comes in as Sherman T. Potter, he automatically sees that Frank Burns is annoying and crazy but he thinks Hawkeye is going to be a problem. And meanwhile Hawkeye thinks that Potter is a pencil pusher who hasn't done surgery in a really long time. And then they have the incident. There's a bunch of casualties are brought in. It's immediately clear that Burns is a competent but not good surgeon. Hawkeye is an amazing surgeon and Potter is actually pretty good but rusty. And Potter basically shushes Burns, and he sides with Hawkeye and Hawkeye also respects Potter. It genius the way they did it.
But often when you have a comedy with a cut-up character like you have here with Jake, the boss is either clueless or he's always frustrated and kind of a jerk. It's very rare that you can have the Potter kind of character who's really good and wise and patient, too.
Dan Goor: Yes. And hopefully we're going to be able to pull that off for a lot of episodes. There's a moment in the pilot where he flashes his smile. And you're like, there's going to be tension, but he's okay. He's not like (annoyed) "Poindexter!!!!" And Andre Braugher is so infinitely likable.
(Schur enters around this point.)
One of the things I noticed watching the pilot is that Andre is not giving a radically different performance from Pembleton. He's an actor, he's giving a performance but you can insert Holt into an episode of "Homicide."
Mike Schur: Yeah. The difference in the backstories of the characters is actually what's important in the context in which he's delivering that performance. But, yeah, he's being kind of straightforward; it's just he's doing it in the service of comedy instead of drama. The best thing about pitching the show to him and then watching him do it was he got exactly what he was supposed to do. He just knew exactly what he was supposed to do to make it funny. And he even said he went to Craig Zisk, our producing director, and said, "Tell me if I'm getting too broad or silly."
Dan Goor: But he also said, to the writers, "Please make sure I'm the grounded one. That's my role on this show."
Mike Schur: He totally gets the way that he's funny in the show and the way to make the show funny around him as if he's the no-nonsense straightforward guy.
Dan Goor: Well, the number one rule of comedy acting is "don't try to be funny." Act as seriously as possible
Mike Schur: And it was so fun to pitch him lines too, because you pitch him a line and then he just says it in that incredibly earnest way.
Is Jake good at his job? This is a question that often gets brought up with comedies, but it feels like because they're cops, it's more of a big deal than if Andy Dwyer is good at his job.
Dan Goor: The short answer is yes but I also think that there's something about it being Andy Samberg and he's doing this grounded character who's a good cop but also funny. And I think in order for the comedy to play, the world has to be grounded and he has to be good at his job. And it's a similar thing to Hawkeye Pierce on "M*A*S*H," I think.
Mike Schur: Right. Hawkeye was a good surgeon, and we always talk about Leslie being good at her job. She's a public servant, she's being paid by taxpayers. And cops are both paid by taxpayers and have people's lives in their hands. So in order for you to like get behind him and all of them as characters, you have to feel like they like are competent people. If they're shitty cops, then it would be pretty bad.
Dan Goor: There's a joke in the pilot about an old lady that's only okay if he's a good cop. He gets away with having a gallows sense of humor that a cop would have if he is able to solve crime. If he's a bad cop and he's making jokes about that old lady, then it's like, "Man do your job. Don't be an idiot."
But how much harder is it to do a show set in a police world with stakes of varying degrees? Dan and I were talking before about the fact that there's a murder in your pilot, even if we don't see the body. How much harder is it to do comedy where there they are good at their jobs as opposed to goofy police hijinks with bumblers who don't care?
Mike Schur: I don't think it's harder, personally. On "Parks and Rec," there's people who were varying degrees good at their jobs. But it's not harder to write for police officers. It would be harder, actually, to keep characters in the mix and likable and have an audience that supports them if they were terrible. Like if they're really terrible cops then you'd be like, "Hey man, don't take a gun and wander out on the street and try to keep people safe, you don't know what you're doing."
Dan Goor: I think it's also just a different type of comedy. If we were making a cop comedy about bad cops or cops who were comically bad at the jobs then the jokes would be more hijinks and more like slapstick. It would be like they keep shooting each other or they keep arresting the wrong person. And there's a place for that kind of show, but that just isn't the mission statement of this. This is a workplace comedy where the workplace is being cops. So the comedy generators are these characters and their relationships with one another.
Mike Schur: And also, by the way, the plan is not to have them solve cases every week. There'll be many episodes where the point isn't whether they're good enough detective to crack this case but more like someone went on a bad date the night before and they have to be in a stakeout talking about their bad day.
Even if they're not solving cases every week there will be crime and things. Have you thought about how far you would go in terms of the types of crimes? There's not going to be a serial rape storyline.
Mike Schur: No.
Dan Goor: There are times where, to come up with story ideas, I'll go to the NYPD website and I'll look up the most common crimes in the 78th Precinct of New York. And it's assault and felony rape. And we're not going to do that. The amazing thing about "Barney Miller" is that they did stories about every single one of these crimes. They did things like rape. They did molesting and all kinds of stuff. I guess it's interesting that the times are now prurient or prudish.
Mike Schur: Well, New York City in the 70s was a very different kind of place. And I think the national conversation was about how New York is really dangerous and it's a crazy place. And now New York's murder rate is the lowest it's been since the early 60s. And it's just in general a much safer city so it doesn't feel like we have to do that. They could do jokes on Barney Miller about how disgusting Time Square was. Now that would be a confusing joke to people who've been to Times Square. So it's just a different city and it's a different world they're in. It's tricky, though: the crimes have to be serious enough to matter in general. Not all of them do — we're working on a story about spray painting graffiti — but we've also talked about more serious things and the reality is that in big cities, people do get murdered. I think that will be a little bit of trial and error. We'll see what the show can support.
Dan Goor: But we've also talked about picking up a case either in the middle or the very end and just following a part of it. So even if it's a murder, these guys are working with Homicide and their task is they have to find the weapon or something like that. So it's not procedural and the body's gone. You're not getting into what happened between the two people. It's really about our guys together and they're on a scavenger hunt.
What was the original idea that you guys had where you said, "It's development season, and this is the show"?
Mike Schur: This is pretty much it. Once we started talking about a police precinct as a location for comedy, that took hold pretty quickly. We were pretty into it.
Dan Goor: There were a bunch of things we really liked right off the bat about a police precinct. We loved how instantly relatable it was. We loved how little exposition was required to tell people who these guys were and what they were doing. You do an episode where you start on the sign that says 99th precinct, you drop-down, you see the captain dressed like a captain say, "Somebody's been stealing cars." No more exposition necessary for the work story, which was really appealing to us. We liked the idea of setting it in New York. These are the kinds of conversations that jelled very quickly because anybody can be a cop in New York. In our pitch we would say — and it's true — that you can have a five foot three inch Taiwanese lady who became a cop and you could have like a six foot six inch biker, you can have Terry Crews and you put him in a cop outfit and they're a cop. And they come from all different boroughs and they interact with every single person in Brooklyn, which seems like a funny subset of New York. So all of those elements were fun little ingredients in the recipe. And then the specifics of, "Well, should it be a high crime area, should it be a low crime area, should it just be an area?"
Mike Schur: "Should it be like the worst precinct in New York? Should it be the best precinct in New York?" Those details we sorted out in a trial and error way in the way that you do when you're blue skying shows.
Dan Goor: The hookiest version would be that they're all screw-ups in the worst precinct in the most distant part of New York. And it's like you can imagine how you sell that as a pilot. And that actually could be a good show, but like there was something appealing also about like nope like pulling it back and making it a little less hooky and a little less high concept.
Mike Schur: And then we found out Andy left "SNL," which we read about in the newspapers like everybody else. And it was like we went to Fox, we'd already sold the show and we went to Fox and said, "If he wanted to do a show, is this a guy?" And before we finished the sentence they were like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go get that guy." So we went and pitched it to him and he liked it and signed on board.
Dan Goor: It was amazing 'cause like we pitched it him, he listened and he goes, "So I'm the comedy McNulty?" And we were like, "Yes!"
Mike Schur: We were like, "Yeah, that's way better than what we have." Also, part of the pitch was that there was a new relationship between him and a captain. At the time, he was moving into a new precinct, which we changed to the captain moving to precinct, but the relationship was the same. Which was a new relationship between him and a sort of authoritarian father figure guy.
Dan Goor: Although less fraught at that point.
Mike Schur: So it all was pretty smooth sailing creatively, in the sense that we did alter the character and play a little bit more towards Andy. What happens is you have these theoretical ideas for characters and then when you find the actors you want, you tailor them a little bit to the people. But it was not very different from what we'd envisioned.
Dan Goor: And when Kevin Riley gave us some great notes, his big note was to really focus the pilot on the relationship between between Andy and Andre Braugher and to make sure that that tension didn't dissipate. We wrote the pilot originally like a little movie; tthe coda was basically they're all best friends, after one episode. And he's like, "Let's make 100 episodes, not one episode." But his notes really helped us move into the next level. I hate that expression but it's true.
Andy, as a down-to-earth character, doesn't necessarily have an established comic persona at this point. We know him playing these exaggerated goofs.
Mike Schur: Hot Rod.
Mike Schur: But that was part of the real fun of it, both for us and him: the character we design was not like that. And I don't think he was interested in playing a character like that in the long-form way. I think he likes goofing around a lot. Like he looks goofy in three-minute videos. And there were a lot of similarities i between what the kind of thing he was looking to do and the kind of thing Amy was looking to do when we started "Parks and Rec." You work at "SNL" for seven years and you have a great time. And you do a lot of sketches and you get to do a lot of really fun stuff but when you leave that world the last thing you want to do is playing a sketch character for another seven years. What was exciting to Amy and what is exciting I think to Andy is like this is a real character. He gets to do a real character now who has a life and a soul and an inner life and who gets to slowly change and evolve over the course of hopefully many years. That's what makes sense as the next step to take for people who leave "SNL." That's how I felt when I left as a writer: "I can write something longer than ten pages? It's amazing."
Dan Goor: He's a guy who is able to do super goofy and funny over the top characters, but who also did "Celeste and Jesse Forever," where he's very grounded and real. So in a way this character in its core design is us trying to harness both sides of Andy. Andy's incredibly smart, he's likable and he's incredibly funny.
So right now you're pitching jokes and deciding whether they fit these new characters. I assume on "Parks" you reached a point where you just know Leslie wouldn't do that. April wouldn't do that.
Mike Schur: Yeah, it takes a while. I think sometimes those things come from writers and sometimes they come from actors. I think that we figured out Ron Swanson in two moments early on. One was when he said that bacon wrapped shrimp was his number one favorite food wrapped around his number three favorite food. That was very meaningful to all of us. Tucker Cawley wrote that joke. We were all like, "That's something." And then in the second episode of the second year when Dan's pitch was that he has a hernia and can't leave his chair, I remember him pitching it to me in my office and going, "Yep, go, go, go quickly." And then shooting it and (Nick) performing it and seeing and then him improvising, "I was born ready; I'm Ron fucking Swanson," it was like okay we're good. Like there was never a moment after that where we had any question about any aspect of his character. It was very, very clear after that what was right and what was wrong for him.
Dan Goor: But I will say this: sometimes where you think you know the character and the best pitch is the thing that's exactly the opposite (of what they'd do) and it's right. So when we did "Jerry's Painting," all the early versions of that we were like there's a nude picture of her and she's angry about it because it demeans her. And then in the room we asked, "What if she loves it?" That was obviously not immediately clear, but that broke the episode and it's so much more in her character. And that was season four.
Mike Schur: But that's less about character defining work then character refining work or something. There are moments early on – there was a tiny thing in the "Rock Show" episode when she was walking out, and Mark was at the bar and Mark was like, "Where're you going?" And she went, "I'm going home. I had a really crappy day." And it was a nothing line, but the way it was written and the way she delivered it, we realized she doesn't have to always be so political and concerned about everything — she's a normal person who says things like, "I just had a really crappy day."
Dan Goor: The other defining thing is on a new show — and this will be happening here — little jokes that you put into an episode become like a little ball rolling and every episode they pick up a few more jokes and a few more jokes. And then it's in boulder and the boulder is Ron wants meat. And that boulder is…
Mike Schur: Jerry's a punching bag.
Dan Goor: Jerry's a punching bag; Leslie can't put enough sugar into her coffee; she loves sweets. It's so funny because they were just jokes in the first 12 episodes.
Mike Schur: And in retrospect they become massive character-defining things.
Dan Goor: So they become very helpful in breaking stories. And it's hard until that stuff starts happening. And some of that stuff we come up in the room and some of that is color that a writer will add because they don't have a joke in this scene. I guess the joke in this scene is that Leslie is just pouring so much sugar into her drink. And it has nothing to do the scene but that's what we all remember from the scene.
Mike Schur: And then you say, "All right, she has a sweet tooth that fits with what we know about her so far." And it's extending her character.
Dan Goor: The frustrating thing is you want those moments to already exist. And we have some of them; from the pilot we know a few things. We know Charles loves food and has this surprisingly refined palate.
Mike Schur: But also is a dude who just blurts things out about himself without a lot of shame. Like he talks about how he was constipated for three days and stuff. And doesn't seem to care that people are aware. There's such a funny shot of Joe Lo Truglio saying, "I was constipated for three days." And Andy goes, "Wow, that's great, Charles. Thanks for sharing." And there's a shot of him just happily grinning and chuckling. For the episode we're breaking, there's a B-story where Chelsea Peretti's character has this friend who claims to be a psychic and who is always offering her help to the police to solve crimes and they don't want her to help them. And we couldn't break that story until we came up with the idea that Charles goes up to the psychic and says, "I know a lot of guys around here are making fun of you. My grandmother had certain abilities and she was touched. And I just want to say that I believe in you, I have respect for you." And then the psychic thanks him and says, "By the way, that woman that you love doesn't love you back" and then just walks away. And so the one guy who believes in her is getting a lot of really shitty news over the course of this episode. But for a while we were fighting it, because Charles's personality in the pilot is that he's like a grinder — he's not super talented or intuitive but he just worked really hard. And that seemed to suggest that he would be the kind of person who wouldn't like what a psychic had to say. But the other things in the pilot are that he's Italian and he loves food and comes from a big family and stuff like that. And so we just went the other way with it and it's like, "Well that seems good." And by the way between now and the time we write it or rewrite or read it it'll change 20 more times until we figure out what the right answer is.
Was there ever any thought to doing this mockumentary or was that never in the cards?
Dan Goor: It was never in the cards.
Mike Schur: No. We really wanted to do a different style of show. I've now been writing mokcumentary comedy for nine years on three different shows.
Dan Goor: We both love the format of mockumentary.
Mike Schur: And, by the way, it's such a pain in the ass not to have talking heads to explain things.
Dan Goor: Like we decided to use flashbacks because we needed another device to break up scenes and to do comedy. But talking heads are so useful. They're the ultimate cheat.
Mike Schur: Yeah, it's incredible. But we just wanted it to look different and feel different and I think it does.
Dan Goor: Right. We wanted to feel like a comedy version of a police drama. So the color palette and the way in which the camera's move and stuff should hopefully feel more like that. But that also is a little bit like a mockumentary because they seem like hand-held shaky cameras. But it's not as frenetic.
Mike Schur: It's not as whippy and crashy and frenetic and stuff. It's a little more traditionally shot.
Going back to discovering the characters at this point, is there anyone in the group where you feel like, having done the pilot and outlining these first few episodes, "Okay, we know exactly who this is"? Or is no one at this stage yet?
Dan Goor: No one's at 100 percent of that stage.
But are you 90 percent there with anyone?
Mike Schur: I think we have a pretty good grasp in general on all the characters and what kind of people they are. But even if it's 90 percent, that last 10 percent is the difference between people feeling like that's a nice character and, "Oh my God, I am in love with April Ludgate" or Pam Beasley or whoever. The devil's in the details I think. Chelsea Perretti, we just wanted to cast in the show because we knew her as a writer and as a uniquely talented and funny person. And part of her unique talents and uniquely funny aspects of her life and her personality are that she's impossible to pin down. Even people who have been friends with her for a long time will say, "You can't exactly describe what it is about her that's so funny." And that means that her character is not going to be 100 percent known to any of us, including her, for a while. We're going to do a lot of figuring out what aspects of Chelsea's real life can we try and capture in this character. I mean, Nick Offerman and Ron Swanson have a substantial overlap. But Nick is not Ron Swanson and Ron Swanson is not Nick. And like some of those things, some of the qualities and ideas and philosophies that we've given Nick, given Ron are the opposite of what Nick believes.
Dan Goor: The hardest thing to do is figure out that 10 percent. And it's also the most satisfying. Not to keep talking about "Parks," but it was a joke in an episode that Ron had two ex-wives: both bitches, both named Tammy. It was like a joke that seemed a little improbable that would even make it to the air.
Mike Schur: We were thinking it's really mean of him to use the word "bitches." It's not a word we particularly like. But he was so funny saying it…
Dan Goor: And it was funny that he looked for the camera and he said it and the idea that they were both named Tammy was ridiculous but funny. And we've had four Tammy episodes that are based on that joke.
Mike Schur: But also the fact that the original line was that they were both bitches, which was a word that really stings. We had to design characters that justified the use of that word. That became like a goal: they have to be evil and diabolical. They can't just be like women that he doesn't like. They have to be actively trying to murder him.
Dan Goor: Isn't there a line about one of them crawling out of Satan's butt hole?
Mike Schur: He said, "What was it like to stare into the eye of Satan's butt hole?" It doesn't make any sense but which is really appropriate. But doing those things for characters – that's where the fun lies. That's why the endless hours that we're spending just knocking around ideas for the first episode after the pilot are worth it, because eventually in hour 72 someone will pitch something that is the magic skeleton key that unlocks the character. It might not happen in episode two or three or four, but it's the reason that everyone's favorite comedies hit their stride…
Dan Goor: In the second season.
Mike Schur: Or in episode seven. The wheels of comedy grind slowly. And once they start meshing…
Dan Goor: Also, as a viewer, you have to figure out what the 90 percent is, and understand who this character is to appreciate the 10 percent. Oh, that's what makes this the most unique version of this character. If you sprinkle all that detail in in the beginning, it gets lost. I mean if Terry were a (REDACTED) in the first episode, you'd be like, "Okay, I get it." But if we add it in later instead, it'll be a fun twist and fun discovery. And then we have to decide when to include that detail about it. What's the best way to put it in? What's the funniest episode?
Mike Schur: The only accurately titled comedy in history is "Growing Pains," because every half-hour comedy has growing pains. It's like they were acknowledging it: "Stick with us; we're going to be okay."
Dan Goor: Were they, Mike?
Mike Schur: I don't really remember the show that well to be totally honest. I think I saw every episode of it when I was a kid. That was Kirk Cameron?
Dan Goor: That being said we're hoping that every one of our first six episodes are great, are fun to watch. We're not trying to say, "Buckle up it's going to be a bumpy ride, stick with us." We are very happy with the pilot.
Mike Schur: No, I'm saying that about "Growing Pains."
Dan Goor: Oh, yes. I know but you were using it as an analogy.
Mike Schur: No, I was only talking about "Growing Pains."
Mike, having been at this stage of things with three different comedies, do you feel like you have any better handle at this point on what you have to do after you've done a pilot you're happy with? Obviously, you're in a much different position here than when you came into "The Office."
Mike Schur: It's actually been different on all three shows because I wasn't involved in the pilot in "The Office." When I came in, Greg (Daniels) had put a year into that already and had so carefully thought everything out that it felt like we were all just asking, "How can we help you execute your amazing vision?" On "Parks and Rec," it was Greg and me struggling through but it was also a midseason pilot it was so odd, and we shot everything at once. And it was a much more of like a crazy swirl. So this is a little bit easier than "Parks and Rec," because this was a more prototypical process where we worked on the pilot.
Dan Goor: We had written six episodes of "Parks and Rec" by the time they shot any of them.
Mike Schur: We had written the whole season of six episodes. And in this show it was a more traditional situation where we worked on the pilot for a long time. We had like a normal amount of time to do casting and other stuff. Then once we've done the pilot and shot it we've now had two and a half months to just sit around and think about the characters. So it feels like it's less insane than the Parks and Rec process, but that's because it simply is. Whether or not I'm any better at it, I don't have any idea. I think that having been through it once has been very helpful. And the kinds of problems you face seemed to me to be similar no matter what the situation is. We need to make sure that everything is as perfect as it can possibly be. And you don't have any time to do it and. Network TV schedule is very aggressive and the production schedule is very aggressive. And you're starting from scratch with something and you want to make sure that everything is perfect. I feel like I'm a little calmer now then maybe I was because I have done it once already.
Dan Goor: It's very nice to have Mike intimately involved. He's done it, and even though I was obviously very intimately involved at "Parks and Rec," once you're in this position, you see how much more is involved. And it's incredibly calming to have a person who's had experience and is good as his job as Mike is. It's also great to have David Miner, who's been trough this many times.
I'd forgotten that you wrote the entire first season of Parks before you shot it. And a lot of what evolves out of characters and a lot of the moments you've talked about with those characters come from the second season where you've now worked with the actors for a while, whereas you had to write all of the first season in advance.
Dan Goor: There's no right answer. It's like we were writing that season in a vacuum, so we didn't know what worked or didn't work in the pilot. Whereas here, we can see, "Oh, Andre Braugher can definitely do this kind of joke and Mellisa Fumero is really funny when she does this." We saw all that. But when we started shooting at "Parks and Rec," we also had six scripts already done. So we were rewriting but we were rewriting from six done scripts. Whereas here, we're starting from scratch a little bit. There's no right answer. It's very hard no matter what.
Mike Schur: The only easy way to do it is the the pay cable model where you have an infinite amount of time and money — they have like 47 weeks of preproduction. If you can get to be Larry David, and take like three years to decide whether you want to do a season of "Curb," and then you write all of the ideas and episodes and you shoot all of them and you edit all of them and you make them all perfect. But there's only one Larry David.
Dan Goor: He's amazing.
Mike Schur: Yeah, he's an all-time genius, so short of achieving that first ballot hall of fame comedian level where he can literally design his own schedule, there's no shortcut.
Dan Goor: I'm sure when he's in the middle of it he's like, "Why am I doing this? This is a nightmare." But these are good problem to have. We're very happy that we have these problems.

I have mailed Xlibris over 50 times without a satisfactory response. The pursuance is now going to court as my patience is now exhausted.
A note to UK authors, if you make a claim through Money Claim Online (MCOL) you can add interest to a maximum of 5% per day to the amount owed from the first day of non payment.
Additionally, try and get hold of Amazon retail, they should be able to tell you exactly how many sales you have made through them. You'd be surprised how many sales you're making that Xlibris aren't telling you about.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Shifting gears
From U.S. Coast Guard reports
A skipper and two crewmen left at dawn one late-December day aboard a 38-footer rigged for scalloping. They planned to go about 26 miles off the New Jersey coast, fish all day and return to port just after midnight.
Early that evening, the skipper was at the helm with one of the crewmen in the wheelhouse. The other crewman was on the aft deck.
At 7 p.m., the skipper started turning to port in preparation for hauling back the dredge. According to the skipper, several 10-foot-high waves struck the vessel, swamping the aft deck. The vessel started heeling to port.
The skipper told the crewman on deck to grab a grinder and cut the dredge cable to help alleviate the port list; the crewman tried to free the gear to no avail. The crewman in the wheelhouse donned a survival suit, and the boat soon capsized.
The attempts to right the vessel and the speed at which the boat was taking on water prevented the skipper from broadcasting a mayday call or donning a survival suit. The skipper and crewman kicked out the port side windows and swam to the surface. The crewman last seen on deck was nowhere in sight.
The EPIRB and life raft floated free, and the raft inflated.
The skipper swam to the raft and pulled himself in. The crewman in the survival suit had also reached the surface but didn't make it to the raft; the skipper never saw him again.
Around 7:45, the boat sank by the stern. The Coast Guard received the EPIRB transmission at about 8 p.m. and contacted the vessel's owner, who hadn't been able to contact the crew.
At around 11:30 p.m., aided by vessels on the scene, a Coast Guard helicopter sighted the life raft containing the skipper.
The helicopter retrieved the skipper and flew him shoreside, where he was treated for hypothermia and released. After 34 hours, the search for his crew members was suspended.
Lessons learned
Loss of stability or watertight integrity is a significant factor in the loss of many vessels between 30 and 79 feet long. Modifications and alterations increase a vessel's overall weight and affect its center of gravity, amount of freeboard and stability.
Deploying the scallop dredge off the port side exacerbated the list. Other possible factors include the presence of a 2,000-pound gillnet reel that normally would have been removed for scalloping. The turn to port made the vessel increasingly unstable and robbed it of most of its reserve buoyancy.
The EPIRB alert indicated to the Coast Guard that the EPIRB was registered to another vessel, initially causing some delays in contacting the boat's owner.
All 406-MHz EPIRBs must be registered with NOAA. Up-to-date registration helps rescuers find a vessel faster. Learn more about vessel stability and/or read about EPIRB operation and registration at www.fishsafe.info, and fish safe!

on December 8, 2013 - 12:01 AM
By Morani Kornberg-Weiss
You say the city is thriving.
"It's never been better." That it's none of our business.
"Don't be so naïve" you insist.
The skyscrapers are scratching the sun.
New roads paved into meadows.
High mortality rates.
Like measuring morality
with a thumb.
Press it to the wall and count the creases.
Quantify pain from zero to ten:
Zero: I have nothing to say to you.
My four is your eight.
My arm is on fire.
It started before I was born.
Look, the city is growing.
This isn't complex or subjective.
The alarming signal
is moderately unbearable.
I'm exhausted too.
The fear of pain is greater than the fear of death
and I'm confused about God.
My mind is dull clouded with burden.
The fear of knowledge is greater than the fear of pain.
God moved into that building.
God lives on the twelfth floor.
God saw the city ablaze and yelled:
"Children, behind you!"
The boy's face hit the cold stone
pavement near a holy site.
When prophets walk on this land everything is holy.
My thumb is stuck on plaster.
My pain now a two.
My two is your eight. I'm sorry
we don't feel the same way about this but God
is knocking on my door and God needs sugar.
It is early and we are going into the great nothingness.
The tender throbbing shooting in my legs
dull cutting a tight tingle.
There are many languages for this but
the truth is:
"What is mild to one person may be terrible to another."
You and I meet on the borders
of language where words
encounter the objects
they are designed to signify.
I cannot locate you anywhere.
You are the place
where language fails
and I am the translator
of no language.
I must internalize you
so we become nothing other.
You and I cannot
demand the future
but only our presence.
you insist on my hand
settling in its place
cradling the other
reaching only for a pen.

The financial aid team has been working collaboratively in
preparation for the scheduled February go-live in HUB.
Specifically, the functional and technical team members have been
working on the New York State Tuition Assistance Program (TAP)
customization. NYS TAP is a large financial aid program, which
requires a great deal of time and detailed customization to
function properly in the new UBSIS. We have also been testing
other customizations, including e-consent, admissions institutional
merit scholarships, single semester awarding and ISIR
We have also been working closely with the UBSIS training team to groom and revise test scripts, making sure that terminology and processes are clear. The Security team has been reviewing staff member access to the test (TST) environment, as we work to determine row- level and page security for required staff members. Legacy data has been converted into this environment and we're working to validate the functionality and conversion.
Student financials and the financial aid teams continue to work closely together to review touch-points as the process moves forward and including extensive integration testing in the entire environment on a monthly basis.
We continue to appreciate the work of the financial aid core team members and subject matter experts as we move forward.
The Financial Aid team has continued participation with integration testing in preparation for module go-live in February 2011. During our most recent testing event, we identified one issue, which was promptly revisited within configuration and easily remedied in UBSIS. The staging of various scenarios, moreover identifying unique student situations within the testing environment, is an ongoing process. We are hopeful that our next integration testing event in September will produce similar, if not better, results than our most recent experience.
Additional CIBER Consultants are on board with the SST project
and they are working on the construction of our approved
customizations and interfaces. Recently, the team had a
demonstration of the "E-Consent" customization. This
customization enables UB to correspond electronically with students
with their authorization. Also, the customization includes
the regulatory requirement pertaining to Title IV Financial Aid
application to Student Financial charges. The E-Consent
customization has been moved into the test environment within UBSIS
to enable the Financial Aid team to start testing.
The Admissions Institutional Merit Scholarships customization is currently being developed collaboratively between CIBER and UB staff. Last week, we were able to see the customization within UBSIS and thus far, the progress looks great. Testing the customization from a Financial Aid perspective should begin shortly. Additional customizations the Financial Aid Module has been working on include Institutional Scholarship Processing and Summer Aid Processing.
The Financial Aid team has collaborated closely with other modules during integration testing. During these test events, the Financial Aid Module was able to Load an ISIR, Build FA Term, Build a Student Budget and Manually Award Aid for a student. This process uncovered a few glitches that we're currently investigating.
Some core team and subject matter experts (SME's) are working to develop new checklist items (as well as confirming the current set-ups in UBSIS). We have completed approximately 20 out of 60 test scripts modeling various scenarios and will soon determine which scripts will be included in upcoming training. Once all test scripts are complete, we will begin additional testing and incorporate more SME's and core team members to assist. Tentatively, we anticipate this to begin in July or August 2010 and continue up until we go live.
Currently, we are compiling information and building specifications to replace and/or accommodate our current federal loan database. Also, we are working with student financials and building a specification for interfaces once we have cutover to UBSIS. We're also considering a customization that will address some security issues within the Student Services Center. We're also excited that Communication Generation (Com-Gen) is going to enable e-communication as the predominant communication method, helping UB efforts to go green.
The Financial Aid team was also pleased to welcome Eric Lynch to UB. Eric is an external consultant who has a very strong background in this type of work and has been helping the team make tremendous progress with Equation Engines, Packaging Plans, Communication Generation queries and grooming our initial setup. Eric's guidance helps us stay on track with our official go-live in February 2011.
The Financial Aid team continues to collaborate closely with
Student Financials, meeting on a regular basis to iron out
different touch-points identified with implementing UBSIS. We
recently completed a new data conversion document regarding
information from our current student aid management system (SAMS),
which will be necessary for successful conversion. Legacy
data, for a variety of reasons, must remain available after various
UBSIS modules go-live.
We have been engaged in a number of activities. Subject matter experts have assisted with vetting the Financial Aid security roles and security levels in the UBSIS test environment. The Financial Aid team has also assisted the Campus Community team with testing biographical items in the test environment, which was applied during the integration testing "kick off." We are continuing to develop scripts to support all aspects of ongoing testing. The team identified additional items types (previously known as Aid ID's) that will be added into the new UBSIS.
We are actively developing separate item types for New York State scholarships. In the current SAMS legacy system, the scholarships are often posted as part of the NYS TAP (Tuition Assistance Program) award rather than being itemized by a specific award name. In UBSIS, these scholarships will be identifiable by unique titles – for example: "NY Lottery Leaders of Tomorrow", "WTC Memorial Scholarship" or "Child of a Veteran Award." Itemizing each item type instead of grouping them together will reduce staff as well as student confusion relating to the sources and funding amounts. We anticipate that more granular details will be useful to students and parents alike!
The Financial Aid team has been working closely with the Financial Aid staff to assess a number of processes, focusing on dependencies and intersections with other functional areas, and on data conversion and retention. One of these intersections is the Admissions Institutional Merit Scholarship process, and we've been working with other modules and university departments to complete a business case for customizing the system to meet UB's needs for this process.
Another area of emphasis has been on identifying and cataloging the communications that Financial Aid sends to students. UBSIS will allow us to send many of these communications using a tool called Communication Generation (ComGen).
We are moving these processes into a test environment and will be testing with departmental volunteers. We have begun loading the 2010-2011 ISIRs into this test environment, and have begun using a UBSIS tool called Equation Engine to assist with awarding aid to students. This test environment also allows us to set up and assess security levels and roles so that they will be ready for when we go live. We look forward to working more closely with those who have "hands-on" time with the current system to help us address any remaining issues as we migrate to UBSIS.
The implementation process has taught us that, although UBSIS will bring many benefits, there are challenges to moving to a new system. One of these is the terminology that is in the new system. The first term is the name of the system itself – UBSIS, which stands for University at Buffalo Student Information System. Within the system, UB has an institution name (sometimes referred to as SetID), which is UBFLO. UBSIS also has "Careers," which are similar to what we currently call "Divisions." UBSIS will have 6 different Careers: Undergraduate, Graduate, Pharmacy, Law, Medical, and Dental. Each career can have unique academic calendars, tuition rates, and grading schemes. Some more terminology changes can be found in our UBSIS Glossary on the UBSIS training website at: http://ubsistraining.buffalo.edu/pdfs/glossary.pdf .
The set up, testing, and terminology changes are all part of the iterative implementation process. Training, exposure to the system, and hands-on navigation within UBSIS will present the opportunity for better understanding of the new system and its functions.
Happy fall. The Financial Aid Module of the Student System Transformation Project is progressing well. The configuration stage is still underway and soon we will transition to the modeling phase. Below you will find more information about the Financial Aid Module.
During the past couple of weeks, we reached out to our Core Team Members as well as Subject Matter Experts to complete the Security Awareness webinar. Core Team Members and Subject Matter Experts have completed the webinar and returned the completed confidentiality data agreement form. We appreciate the positive feedback many of you provided via the educational webinar as well as your participation in meeting this requirement. Recently, we conducted our initial PeopleSoft log in, navigation, and test script training with Core Team Members and Subject Matter Experts for the Financial Aid Module. Overall, the initial training events were well attended and beneficial for everyone.
Recently, we kicked off our monthly conference call with SUNY peer, the University at Albany. Also, we are in the process of working on the following items: business case and functional specifications for potential customizations; compiling data for our item type setup; packaging plans within PeopleSoft; an inventory list of communications; and developing test scripts.
We appreciate your time, feedback, and participation as we transition to a new student system. Be on the lookout for our next Financial Aid Module update and best wishes this fall season. GO BULLS!
The Financial Aid Module of the Student System Transformation Project is progressing well. We are still in the configuration stage—below is a brief update of our progress to date.
Recently, we had the opportunity to participate in a training and development event with the Financial Aid staff. During this half-day learning opportunity, we provided a brief overview of the financial aid functionality. Using a "mock" student, we activated the financial aid year, built a financial aid term, created a student's financial aid budget and awarded a student a financial aid package.
Some additional items we have been working on include coordinating PeopleSoft access for our Subject Matter Experts and Core Team members, identifying and defining security roles and descriptions, developing business cases, reviewing our tasks in accordance with the project timeline, and making strides in reducing the action log items from our fit/gap sessions.
We will continue to work on configuring the financial aid module as we move into the fall season.
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the newly created PeopleSoft implementation Financial Aid Module listserv. The sole purpose of this listserv is to provide members of the university community with monthly updates about the Financial Aid Module implementation. Currently, this listserv group is comprised mostly of UB Financial Aid community, which includes Subject Matter Experts, Core Team members, and staff members who attended previous fit/gap sessions. If you learn of a staff member who did not receive this e-mail and he/she has interest in joining this listserv group, feel free to e-mail me their first and last name, as well as their UB e-mail address. My e-mail address is email@example.com. I will be happy to add them.
A few weeks ago, Julie Simpson arrived to campus to assist with the Financial Aid Module implementation. I will provide you with some financial aid items we have been working on within PeopleSoft since Julie's arrival. We have developed the aid year setup, defined federal financial aid year, developed aid careers, developed budget categories, developed budget items, and developed budget formulas. Also, we have scheduled and conducted some meetings to help orientate you with PeopleSoft. We have reached out to many of you and will continue to seek your expertise during the implementation. Thus far, we appreciate your feedback and the information you have provided us has been great.
We look forward to working with you more closely as we continue implementing the Financial Aid Module within PeopleSoft. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me.
Please forward any comments or questions to us. | Provide feedback

Yogaraj Bhat becomes a proud father again
Yogaraj Bhat had a memorable Ganesh festival this time, as he become a proud father for the second time. The director welcomed a new member to his family, as his wife Renuka gave birth to a baby girl on September 19.
The director confirmed the news to Oneindia and said, "Yes, my wife gave birth to the baby girl on 19th September. All my family members are happy with the new arrival." However, Yogaraj Bhat is yet to finalise a name for the baby. It may be recalled that the name of his first daughter is Punarvasu.
Meanwhile, Yogaraj Bhat has said that his next movie Drama starring Yash and Radhika Pandit will release in mid-November. "The audio is hitting the market today and probably in the middle of November, we will be releasing the movie, the director ends."

Peanut allergy: Clinical and immunologic differences among patients from 3 different geographic regions.
- DOI: 10.1016/j.jaci.2010.09.010
- PubMed: 21093026
BACKGROUND: Peanut allergy affects persons from various geographic regions where populations are exposed to different dietary habits and environmental pollens. OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe the clinical and immunologic characteristics of patients with peanut allergy from 3 countries (Spain, the United States, and Sweden) using a molecular component diagnostic approach. METHODS: Patients with peanut allergy from Madrid (Spain, n = 50), New York (United States, n = 30), Gothenburg, and Stockholm (both Sweden, n = 35) were enrolled. Clinical data were obtained either from a specific questionnaire or gathered from chart reviews. IgE antibodies to peanut extract and the peanut allergens rAra h 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9, as well as to cross-reactive birch (rBet v 1) and grass (rPhl p 1, 5, 7, and 12) pollen allergens, were analyzed. RESULTS: American patients frequently had IgE antibodies to rAra h 1 to 3 (56.7% to 90.0%) and often presented with severe symptoms. Spanish patients recognized these 3 recombinant peanut allergens less frequently (16.0% to 42.0%), were more often sensitized to the lipid transfer protein rAra h 9 (60.0%), and typically had peanut allergy after becoming allergic to other plant-derived foods. Swedish patients detected rAra h 1 to 3 more frequently than Spanish patients (37.1% to 74.3%) and had the highest sensitization rate to the Bet v 1 homologue rAra h 8 (65.7%), as well as to rBet v 1 (82.9%). Spanish and Swedish patients became allergic to peanut at 2 years or later, whereas the American children became allergic around 1 year of age. CONCLUSIONS: Peanut allergy has different clinical and immunologic patterns in different areas of the world. Allergen component diagnostics might help us to better understand this complex entity.

I installed the latest version of HTML5 Jquery Audio Player 1.4, however not working on IE7, IE8, IE9.
The player controls show up, but the title and album cover do not. Also when play is pressed, music doesnt play.
1. I've added the MIME types to the .htaccess files.
2. Disabled all other plugins (because of the possibility of any conflicts)
It is great that the non-plugin version works across all browsers. But the wordpress plugin version does not. The demo on the wordpress version doesn't work either on IE browsers.
This is a great plugin, but the IE versions really need to get fixed.

Seriously? How many people actually click on and read the terms and conditions when they purchase something on the web? Basically it's hard to find on the screen but if you look for it, it will tell you that you will have 14 days to return the item or you have to pay a $114.00 for the 'free trial' item you got in the mail. Then if you haven't called them to stop the automatic shipment you will be sent 10 more filters for $69+.
If you call the company they will refuse to reimburse you all they can say is you should have read the terms and conditions. Do not do business with this company as they are very deceptive and have very poor customer service. There are some good electronic cigarette companies but this is not one of them.

Nonito Donaire: Moreno Has No Chance of Beating Me
By Ronnie Nathanielsz
Newly crowned WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito "The Filipino Flash" Donaire battles WBA champion Anselmo "Chemito" Moreno on May 28.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told the Inquirer in Las Vegas that the unification title fight will probably be held at the Oakland Coliseum in California where Donaire has a number of fans.
Moreno who has a record of 30-1 with 10 knockouts was earlier quoted by boxingscene.com in which he said "the fight sounds good to me. I think it will be a great fight but Donaire is going to fall short because its one thing to fight Fernando Montiel and another thing to fight 'Chemito' Moreno."
The Panamanian world champion added "if I get to fight him (Donaire) the whole world will know 'Chemito' Moreno. We'll see if Nonito Donaire is capable of hitting a ghost" indicating that he's been working on speed and quick movements.
Boxingscene.com reported that Moreno watched Donaire knock out Montiel to capture the Mexican's two titles and was impressed but that there was no fear from the fighter referred to as "the pride of Panama."
Donaire laughed off Moreno's claims about Montiel and stressed that the Mexican was a far tougher opponent than the Panamanian who he said had "no pop in his punches."
Donaire who is scheduled to return home to the Philippines on Monday conceded that the southpaw style of Moreno "can be complicated" but said he is "too quick, too strong and too smart " for the WBA champion, adding Moreno had "no chance" of beating him.
The 25 year old Moreno won the WBA title with a twelve round unanimous decision over Wladimir Sidorenko on May 31, 2008, the same fighter that Donaire annihilated in four rounds after dropping him three times to win the WBC Continental Americas title last December 4.
Moreno also successfully defended his title against Filipino journeyman Rolly Matsushita Lunas but took twelve rounds to win. He also won a 7th round technical decision over Cecilio Santos on September 18, 2008 before scoring back-to-back split decision wins over Venezuela's Nehomar Cermeno on March 27 and August 14, 2010.
Santos was knocked out in the 4th round by Filipino AJ "Bazooka" Banal on January 14 last year.
I agree with Nonito. He will have no respect with Moreno inside the ring come fight night. Moreno is feather fisted. Nonito will just walk through his punches. I don't think he can outbox nonito either. Nonito is just too…Comment by John L Sullivan on 03-02-2011

Astex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ASTX:US), the maker of an experimental leukemia therapy, jumped the most in 17 years after a report that Japanese drugmaker Otsuka Holdings Co. (4578) has decided to buy the biotechnology company for an estimated $900 million (90 billion yen).
Astex rose 29 percent to $8.59 at 1:44 p.m. New York time, giving the Dublin, California-based company a market value of $817 million. Astex earlier climbed as much as 41 percent, its largest intraday increase since 1996.
Japan's Nikkei newspaper reported today that Tokyo-based Otsuka will buy Astex to increase its stable of cancer drugs. Astex reported on Aug. 28 that its experimental treatment SGI-110 had positive results in a mid-stage clinical trial of myeloid leukemia patients.
Timothy Enns, a spokesman for Astex, didn't immediately repond to an e-mail or answer a phone call seeking comment on the report.
so why isn't astx responding? trolling for other offers???

To the Editor.—
Regestein et al have made an excellent presentation of two cases of catatonic stupor that ended tragically (238:618, 1977). Lethal catatonia can develop on the basis of many underlying pathologic states, some of which have been mentioned in the report by Regestein et al. Unfortunately, one of the important causes of lethal catatonia that was first described by Delaye and Dineker1 (malignant neuroleptic syndrome) is chlorpromazine hydrochloride itself. This drug was used in rather large doses in both cases. Knowledge about the anticholinergic and cardiotoxic2,3 and hypotensive effects of chlorpromazine would also indicate that the use of this drug should be avoided in patients with fever of catatonic origin and tachycardia. Whatever the origin of the catatonic state, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the safest and most effective treatment in the majority of catatonic states.In the first case where vigorous medical intervention was used, Regestein

Born into slavery in Virginia in the late 1700s, Dred Scott had little to look forward to in life. But he was fortunate in two ways: His first owner was fairly kind to him, and he grew up with his owner's children, forming friendships that he would come to depend on years later. For on April 6, 1846, Dred Scott and his wife, Harriett -- their ownership having changed hands several times during adulthood -- took the dangerous and courageous step to sue for their freedom,… (more)
