Hepatocyte transplantation has been proposed as an alternative to whole-organ transplantation to support many forms of hepatic insufficiency. Based on a significant body of work, the technique of hepatocyte transplantation has recently moved into the clinic in order to reestablish liver function without organ transplantation or to bridge the time between whole-organ liver transplantation. In addition, hepatocyte transplantation has also been proposed as a liver-directed gene therapy for a number of inherited hepatic disorders by transplanting either freshly isolated hepatocytes or genetically altered hepatocytes. To establish a research system based on the developing technology of hepatocyte transplantation, chimeric small animal models using human hepatocytes have recently been established, which would allow the study of human hepatocyte-specific functions, such as hepatitis viral infection and replication in vivo. Various aspects related to the recent progress and existing obstacles in the area of hepatocyte transplantation are summarized in this report.

The two-week trial was remarkable for the graphic tales of abuse that ranged from Sandusky playing tickle monster in the shower to aggressive sex including oral and anal sex on boys as young as 8. At one point, jurors were brought to tears by the testimony of the alleged victims who are now grown men.
The defense scored some points back during week two of the trial by putting Sandusky's wife on the stand and hearing her testify that she never saw anything inappropriate between her husband and children and knew some of the accusers to have behavioral issues. They also poked holes in the stories of two lead investigators on the case by showing that the men told potential victims that others had already come forward claiming Sandusky raped them.
During 30 hours of testimony over two weeks, the jury heard from eight accusers, one eyewitness, a string of character witnesses testifying to Sandusky's character, and members of the police who investigated the case.
Two people the jury did not hear from include Sandusky himself, who waived his right to testify, and Sandusky's adopted son Matt. Matt Sandusky was one of his father's most ardent supporters following Sandusky's November arrest, but contacted prosecutors at the end of last week saying he was, in fact, a victim of his father's abuse and would be willing to testify, sources told ABC News. The prosecution did not put him on the stand, and the revelations about Matt Sandusky's willingness to testify are not known by the jury and will not factor into deliberations.
ABC News' Michael S. James and Brian Hartman contributed to this report.

I don't think she is seen as a serious actress anymore because of the roles she chooses and is known for.
Since Vicky Barcelona (2008) she has done:
The Spirit (2008)
Iron Man 2 (2010)
We Brought A Zoo (2011)
Avengers Assemble (2012)
Hitchcock (2012)
Under the Skin (2013)
Don Jaun's Addiction (2013)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier [pre-production] (2014)
The Avengers 2 [rumoured] (2015)
Unless she fits in a few decent roles she is going to become known for the Black Widow role and not as a proper serious actress, especially if the rumoured Black Widow film gets made in the future.

Gov. Bobby Jindal says the state will seek approval for more than a half billion dollars in projects to restore coastal areas and fisheries affected by last year's huge BP oil spill.
The money would come from $1 billion that BP agreed to spend in April in a pact with the federal government and the five Gulf States affected by the oil spill. Jindal said Monday he expects Louisiana to get the bulk of that money because the state suffered a disproportionate share of damage from the spill.
Jindal said the state would seek approval from the trustee council established to review the proposed projects.
The projects include oyster habitat restoration, fish hatcheries and barrier island restoration projects.

The Port of Felixstowe's newest extension - the "finger quay" would be added to the southern end at the bottom of the photo to lengthen the berths to accommodate two of the new super-ships.
BY RICHARD CORNWELL, Felixstowe editor
Tuesday, February 26, 2013
PROPOSALS for a 190-metre "finger quay" extension to enable Britain's premier port to handle two of the world's biggest ships at the same time are set to cross another hurdle today.
Suffolk Coastal councillors are being asked to amend the planning consent for the continued development of the Port of Felixstowe so the extension can proceed without triggering mitigation and rail obligations.
The project effectively starts phase two of the development of the south of the port which means Hutchison Ports UK should build a new permanent visitor centre for Landguard, new viewing area and a berth for the Felixstowe-Harwich-Shotley foot ferry, and spend £40million-plus dualling part of the Ipswich line.
As the "finger quay" is only one third of the full length of the phase two quay, councillors are recommended to agree there is no need to alter the agreements at this stage and the mitigation work should wait until later.
In a report, head of planning services Philip Ridley said: "In respect of the Landguard mitigation works, the proposed quay extension would not result in the loss of the existing viewing area, so there is no need to provide a replacement viewing area.
"HPUK have already agreed to provide an interim visitor centre and this is due to be operational this year. This, together with other works that have taken place on the Landguard peninsula under Phase 1, results in improved visitor facilities in this area.
"It is also recognised that for the port to remain competitive it must be capable of servicing these new larger ships coming on to the market, and therefore meeting the operational demands of its customers, otherwise they will go elsewhere."
A transport assessment showed the extra quay would not generate more traffic than agreed under previous permission for the port's expansion and spare rail capacity would be available.
The 190m long finger quay will be added to the new £300m extension officially opened just 17 months ago by the Princess Royal. It will be 94m wide and take 11 months to build and is expected to be complete by 2015.
Another ten cranes would be provided to add to the seven existing on the new terminal and the extra quay will mean the development can handle 1.3m boxes a year.

This development is just what we need to ensure that Felixstowe has a successful, albeit different, future. Just a little nudge, though: please address the noise pollution from the A14. Considering the enormous sums of money which are to be spent on the port's development it would seem fair to invest a little in facilitating the reduction of the noise from the trucks and the "superbikes". After all, the dock employees mostly live locally and are themselves affected by the noise just as much as the rest of us.

It seems that the port company is determined to wriggle out of its obligations to upgrade the railway line. And that's something very urgent if they're going to increase capacity, if we don't want the roads clogged up with hundreds of thousands more filthy trucks.

While bins, and boxes, and labels are definitely tools of my trade, they're not the real value of getting organized.
How do you FEEL looking at this room? Stressed out? Chaotic? Cranky? Impatient?
Now, how do you FEEL about the very same room now?
Relieved? Calm? Relaxed? The cube system and cubbies aren't making you feel better. KNOWING that you can find everything, being relieved that you (and your kids!) can find their library book tomorrow morning, NOW being able to get everyone to school, camp, and work on time?
THAT'S the value of getting organized.

Museum of Clean
Don Aslett wants you to clean up, and he's got a museum to prove that he's serious. Aslett started a janitorial service back in the 50s to help pay for school. The business grew and became one of the country's largest cleaning service firms today.
But cleaning is not just what Don Aslett does for a living - it's his obsession, as our pals Juergen and Mike of For 91 Days discovered when they stumbled upon his Museum of Clean. Take a look: Link - Thanks Juergen!
Newest 4 Comments
Most of the time yeah lol.
But is it clean? :)
I live not too far from this museum. I haven't been inside yet, but the building is pretty neat looking.
With all those vacuum cleaners, that museum must really suck. ;)

I have been waiting for this very stylish cup to go on sale.It finally did and now I can drink my passion iced tea in style wherever I go!
It appears to keep my drinks colder longer than other cups. The metal straw takes a little getting used to but it's a great purchase and a fabulous cup.
I have yet to take my gorgeous cup to a Starbucks, but it is durable! It keeps my drinks cold for a long period of time, great size, and the stainless steel straw is a bonus. The rose gold color is perfect to my taste and the fact that it doesn't leak makes it better.
I ordered the cup because I needed something to pour my drinks that I wanted to keep cold. This cup keeps my drinks really cold for a very long time! I absolutely love it! & the overall design is precious!
My wife loves the look! Does a great job at keeping drinks cold.
Overall cute & different. Bought it for my teenager who takes it to school & shows it off! But the straw against the lid makes the clinky clanky sound..kind of annoying.
I got this cup from a friend as a gift. It keeps drinks cold for a very long time (about 4-5 ice cups in iced coffee lasted for 4 hours!). Also, it has a beautiful design. Only complaint is that the stainless steel straw makes the liquid VERY cold, and I have sensitive teeth. But i have other straws to use. :)
I love this cups! Keeps my drinks ice cold and the rose gold is a nice touch!!
This mug is good for all cold drinks but it helps water taste better. It's adds a surprising refreshing taste as the liquid circulates through the stainless steal straw to cool your lips and refresh your thirst. It actually helps me drink more water, which I usually avoid due to its boring taste. Not with this mug, I love the effect. My only complaint is that while traveling on a rough road in a car, while the mug is in the cup holder, the straw makes a rattling noise. I'm going to add a rubber "O"-ring In order to dampen the noise. Other than that, the mug is perfect for me. I would recommend it if drinking enough water is a concern. The mugs makes water preferable. We all need to drink enough water and this mug helps me with my daily H2O intake. Get it and your spouse will want one too!
I had looked all over for a stainless steel cup, because I have a friend who has one and her cup keeps her ice frozen all day long. I was expecting the same from this cup, since it was double walled and got decent reviews. The first time I filled it, I was extremely disappointed because the ice was completely melted in less than an hour. It has almost no insulation, and is so bad that I do not even use my $20 cup. I guess I will keep the straw and find a cup that was actually made to keep drinks cold.

Re: The chat-thread for lovers of other sports - Everyone welcome
Di, I'm delighted that your team did well again. I sure can imagine that you had some tears from joy
Really happy for you
Before the match, I already thought that I had better not watched ManU-Liverpool - I would make a comparison again with Belgium football, which is terrible and sad and pathetic... I have not much to say about the match, besides that both teams sucked and that the referee should buy some glasses. The match ended at 0-0, no one deserved more than 1 point. Point final.
One picture, just to show you my team. You can see Maazou saying goodbye. The player with him is our captain, Doll. And in the back on the right, you can see my favourite Killian Overmeire.

It's your birthday fair and square,
It seems like no one else will care.
In your dreams your life's a treat,
But real life's made of smelly feet.
You'd like to have a little rest,
But bosses think that work is best.
You work all day, you work all night,
You have to live by candle light.
And when finally your work is done,
We think that you should have some fun.

Dyserth is one of the ancient parishes of Flintshire, comprising the townships of Dyserth, Llewerllyd, Rhyd and Trecastell.
The name Dyserth is believed by some scholars to indicate one of the early methods of Christian evangelisation - by hermits; it occurs in several parishes in Wales, and in many parishes in Ireland, as Dysart.
The site of Dyserth Castle stands high on the rocky hill which dominates the village. Now almost nothing remains other than banks and ditch defences of the outer ward. Other evidence survived until the early part of this century, but has since been destroyed by the very extensive quarrying that has taken place in the area.
The Castle was constructed by Henry III following his defeat of Dafydd ap Llywelyn in 1241, and was completed by 1250. It had a very short history, as it was destroyed in 1262 after a siege of some six weeks, by the Welsh, under the leadership of Llywelyn the last.
The Clwyd FHS website has a photograph of the church.

On a day when Greece called for new elections, with serious implications for the European economy and the future of the euro, the other country with elections on May 6 swore in their new President.
Francois Hollande came to power in France calling for a return to growth rather than a single-minded focus on debt reduction and austerity in Europe. He called his program a new pact:
Newly installed French President Francois Hollande declared Tuesday that he would propose a "new pact" to his European partners emphasizing economic stimulus in addition to the fiscal discipline imposed by Germany […]
"On this day, a lot of people, and first of all in Europe, await us and look toward us," Hollande said. "To overcome the crisis that has struck it, Europe needs plans. It needs solidarity. It needs growth.
"I will propose a new pact to our partners that will join the necessary reduction of public debts with an indispensable stimulation of the economy."
This already retreats a bit from the tougher line focused more on growth that Hollande carried through the campaign. In the end it's just words; the action commences today. Immediately after his swearing-in, Hollande flew to Berlin for a meeting with German chancellor Angela Merkel. The meeting will presumably focus on this "new pact," and whether that means a side deal, focused on growth, to the fiscal pact already agreed to by Eurozone member states, or a renegotiation of the deal entirely. My suspicion is that it's the former. Hollande has emphasized growth more, and Merkel austerity, but there's a way to meet in the middle here that doesn't upset the status quo too much. Maybe you add some small investment fund, known as project bonds, to stimulate demand across Europe. And maybe the "growth" emphasis goes to the euphemistically named "labor market reforms," which would get at growth through an internal devaluation, breaking the leverage that workers have for wages and benefits.
That's bad news for the citizens of Europe. The status quo is already strangling them. The emphasis on austerity needs to be wholly rejected at this point, with the whole focus on getting the Eurozone out of its economic crisis. Austerity has become self-defeating. One obstacle to that is today's better than expected economic news from Germany. This will allow the Germans to deny reality for a while longer, even as Greece cracks up. They may even convince themselves that a Greek exit from the Eurozone will have no ripple effects throughout Europe.
Bold leadership is still needed for Europe to avoid catastrophe, but the early signs look to be for more muddling through.

Men's 10-meter platform final live updates
Welcome to The Chronicle's live coverage of the men's 10-meter platform final round. The events are just getting started in London and we'll be here providing up-to-the-minute coverage on everything going on here, particularly news related to Nick McCrory.
McCrory was one of the first two Duke divers in program history to qualify for the Olympic Games when he and teammate Abby Johnston made the 2012 United States Olympic Team. McCrory and his partner, David Boudia, won the bronze medal in the men's synchronized 10-meter platform just two weeks ago.
5:07 p.m.–As the competition comes to a close, Boudia prepares for the medal ceremony, where he will receive his first Olympic gold. McCrory can only play the role of supportive teammate as he appeared to lose focus in the final round, finishing ninth. That's all we have for today, thank you for tuning in for our live blog coverage and be sure to return to The Blue Zone for more stories about Duke athletics.
5:05 p.m.–McCrory does not win a second Olympic medal today, but has the satisfaction of celebrating with his teammate Boudia, who has won America's first gold in this event in 24 years. This is Boudia's second medal of these Olympics, as he and McCrory teamed up to take the bronze medal in the men's synchronized 10-meter platform as well.
5:03 p.m.–Final totals are now in. Boudia wins with a final total of 568.65. Bo finishes second with 566.85 points, just 1.80 points behind. Daley finishes with a score of 556.95, falling behind due to the lower degree of difficulty on his final dive. Nick McCrory finishes in ninth place with a score of 505.40, just 1.25 points behind Germany's Martin Wolfram in eighth. Boudia wins platform gold for the USA for the first time since Greg Louganis in the 1988 Games. Not bad for a guy who once could not compete on the 10-meter platform because he was afraid of heights.
4:59 p.m.–Bo with his final dive, and breaks 100 as well, but with 100.80 points, he falls short of American David Boudia. Boudia wins the gold, Bo taking the silver and Daley earns bronze. Nick McCrory finishes in ninth place. Wrap-up with the final totals to follow shortly.
4:56 p.m.–David Boudia once again follows Daley with another beautiful dive. He averages 9.5 from the judges and scores a massive 102.60 points on his dive. That's the first dive of more than 100 points on the afternoon, and he will best Daley's total. Now it is just the favorite, China's Qiu Bo, standing between Boudia and Olympic gold.
4:55 p.m.–Tom Daley approaches for his final dive as a hush falls over the crowd of 17,000-plus. David Beckham is in the crowd and he is loving it. He averages scores of 9.2 from the judges and earns 90.75 points to close the competition. This will put some pressure on both Boudia and Bo.
4:50 p.m.–Nick McCrory closes out his competition at the 2012 Olympic Games with a back 2 1/2 somersault with 2 1/2 twists. This has often been his highest-scoring dive of his program, and will be so again in the final round. He averages scores of 9.0 from the judges, and with a 3.6 degree of difficulty, this dive will earn him 97.20 points. He will finish the competition with 505.40 points, and the 21-year old first-time Olympian must be happy with his performances over the past two weeks.
4:47 p.m.–Though he leads by a slim margin, it appears to be an uphill battle for Tom Daley in this final round. Daley's final dive will have a degree of difficulty of just 3.3, while both Boudia of the USA and Bo of China will attempt dives with 3.6 degrees of difficulty. Daley will need to be next to perfect if he wants to win gold over competitors with more difficult dives.
4:44 p.m.–As we head into the final round of dives, we will be in for both an exciting and astonishing finish. Qiu Bo of China absolutely dominated the preliminary and semifinal rounds of this competition, but after some minor mistakes and superb diving from Boudia and Daley, this is turning out to be one of the most exciting competitions of these Olympic Games. Three competitors, all of whom will medal, are separated by a mere 0.15 points from first place to third.
4:42 p.m.–Qiu Bo closes out the fifth round with a 94.35, and is now tied with David Boudia for second place with 466.05 points. They both trail Great Britain's Tom Daley by 0.15 points entering the final round of dives. McCrory moves back up into ninth place with a total score of 408.20 points, and sits close enough to make a run at eighth with a difficult final dive.
4:40 p.m.–Boudia follows Daley with another difficult dive, but only averages scores of 8.5 from the judges. The dive will earn him 91.80 points, but Daley is now edging Boudia out in the standings by a mere 0.15 points heading into the final round. This will be exciting.
4:38 p.m.–The crowd goes wild as Tom Daley continues to energize his hometown fans. Another great dive for Daley, averaging scores of 9.0 from the judges and scoring 97.20 points.
4:36 p.m.–Interesting tidbit from the charming British announcers during McCrory's previous dive. It turns out that standing at 5-foot-11 (or as the announcers so wittingly put it, 187 cm), McCrory is actually the tallest diver in the final round.
4:35 p.m.–McCrory's fifth dive is an improvement in what has been a difficult final round for him. He averages scores of 8.5 from the judges and earns 84.15 points toward his score after completing a back 3 1/2 somersault with a 3.3 degree of difficulty.
4:31 p.m.–After four rounds of dives, the gap between third and fourth place continues to grow. Tom Daley of Great Britain leads Jose Antonio Guerra of Cuba by a full 21.00 points. Barring any crucial mistakes, the medal picture in this event is beginning to come more clear, though the order will likely remain undetermined until the final round.
4:29 p.m.–Qiu Bo closes out the fourth round with a dive worth 93.60 points. Boudia continues to lead after three rounds with a 2.55-point advantage over Bo. Daley is in third place while Lin Yue has fallen back to fifth, and it looks as though he may be out of the medal hunt. McCrory slides back into 10th place after four dives, and it appears he will not medal in this event.
4:27 p.m.–China's Lin Yue makes a rare mistake on his fourth round dive, and it will likely cost him. He scored just 68.45 points on a dive with a 3.7 degree of difficulty, and that will open the door for other competitors to be in the medal hunt.
4:26 p.m.–Tom Daley and David Boudia are beginning to catch fire, each scoring above 90 points on their fourth-round dives. They should be a factor near the top of the standings heading into the end of the competition.
4:22 p.m.–Nick McCrory with his fourth drive of the competition, a reverse 3 1/2 somersault. Averaging a score of 8.0 from the judges, the dive will earn him 79.20 points toward his score. That likely won't help him move up in the standings.
4:15 p.m.–At the end of the third round, Boudia leads the competition with 283.50 points. Qiu Bo and Lin Yue are second and third, with 278.10 and 277.05 points, respectively. Tom Daley of Great Britain is in fourth place. McCrory has a total of 244.85 points, improving his standing to ninth place.
4:13 p.m.–American David Boudia performs the same dive, a forward 4 1/2 somersault, and knocks it out of the park. On one of the best and most difficult dives of the afternoon, Boudia averages scores of 9.0 from the judges, earning him 99.90 points. This will help solidify him in the medal hunt.
4:08 p.m.–McCrory sees some improvement in his third round, but it might not be the scores he needs. He averages scores of 7.5 on his hardest dive of the competition, earning him 83.25 points. That should improve his standing to at least ninth place after the end of the third round, but we'll see if his standing continues to rise. The top divers in the competition still to come in the third round.
4:05 p.m.–As the divers begin the third round, Nick McCrory gets set for his third-round dive. It has been his weakest dive in Olympic competition thus far, a forward 4 1/2 somersault with a 3.7 degree of difficulty is the hardest dive on McCrory's program. He will need to post some good scores on this to get himself back into the middle of the pack.
4:02 p.m.–The second of six rounds draws to a close. Qiu Bo of China takes the lead from his countryman, Lin Yue. Yue sits second, a fraction of a point behind. Boudia and Wolfram are tied for third, Daley is fifth, and Nick McCrory has fallen back to 11th place. Keep in mind that each diver creates their own dive lists in different orders, so many have performed their more difficult dives already, earning higher points for higher degrees of difficulties. McCrory started with his two easiest dive, and has his most difficult dive coming in the third round. He isn't out of the competition yet by any means, but will need to be on point from here on out.
3:59 p.m.–Martin Wolfram, Tom Daley and David Boudia follow McCrory, each making strong dives. McCrory continues to fall farther down in the standings as the Chinese step to the platform.
3:55 p.m.–McCrory steps up to perform his second round dive, an armstand back double somersault with 1 1/2 twists. He holds his armstand for a long moment at the top before diving into the water. His entry wasn't as clean as he was looking for. He averages a 7.8 on his scores and earns 75.20 points. Not the score he would have liked on one of his easier dives, with just a 3.2 degree of difficulty.
3:49 p.m.–The first round of dives draws to a close. Boudia and Germany's Martin Wolfram are tied for the lead with 97.20 points. Great Britain's Tom Daley sits in third, Chinese teammates Lin Yue and Qiu Bo are tied for fourth and McCrory is in fifth place.
3:46 p.m.–McCrory's American teammate David Boudia wows the crowd on his first dive, an armstand back double somersault with 2 1/2 twists, earning a bevy of 9.0's from the judges on a dive with a 3.6 degree of difficulty. He moves into a tie for first with 97.20 points.
3:44 p.m.–In a moment of controversy, local favorite Tom Daley of Great Britain protests his first dive, arguing that flash photography was a distraction. Daley was awarded a rare re-dive, and after scoring 75.60 points on his first attempt improved his score to 91.80 points.
3:38 p.m.–McCrory steps to the platform for his first dive and makes a very clean entry. He performs an inward 3 1/2 somersault with a 3.2 degree of difficulty. McCrory earns all scores of 9.0 or above from the judges, earning 86.40 points. He's off to a great start.

Tzvetanka Gosheva was an oncology specialist forbidden to tell her patients they had cancer. This is how medicine was practiced in Bulgaria during the Soviet era. It wasn't pretty.
Gosheva endured the horrors of war and subsequent absurdities of Communist Party oppression, living to tell the tale to her filmmaker grandson Youlian Tabakov in Tzvetanka, which screens in New York as a selection of the Museum of Modern Art's Documentary Fortnight 2013.
Gosheva was born in 1926 to a prosperous shop-owner. Her family would carry the "Bourgeoisie" label like an albatross during the communist years. While she recalls vivid memories of the bombings, her real experiences with terror began post-war when her father was picked up for a "brief interrogation."
Despite eventually having both parents branded class enemies and sentenced to labor camps, Gosheva somehow was admitted to a university. She wanted medical studies but was initially accepted as an English student, which seems doubly ironic given her suspect background, but that was how the socialist system worked.
Gosheva passed away just a few years ago, but she obviously left behind an extensive oral history and some surprisingly playful footage (sometime bordering on the surreal). Tabakov does not take a traditional talking-head approach. Instead, he creates impressionistic imagery to accompany his grandmother's recollections.
Director: Youlian Tabakov
Cast: Tzvetanka Gosheva
Running Time: 1 hour, 6 minutes
Language: Bulgarian with English subtitles
Sometimes the images are rather whimsical, but probably the most striking visual is the blood droplets turning into crimson rain (not unlike the original Shining trailer) that perfectly fit her discussion of the post-war purges and show trials that her parents were caught up in.
At times, Tabakov really pushes the hipster envelope with his post-modern visual style. However, he always gives Gosheva her full say, which ultimately keeps the film grounded in reality.
Viewers quickly learn to appreciate her resiliency and keen powers of observation. She makes no secret of her contempt for the so-called former communists, whom she calls out for deliberately undermining Bulgarian democracy. Bulgaria will miss her, even if most of her countrymen do not realize it.
At least Tabakov has preserved her memory and her spirit. His Tzvetanka might be a bit eccentric as eulogies go, but avoiding the maudlin seems perfectly in keeping with its subject.
Recommended for students of the Soviet era as well as those fascinated by intensely personal family histories, Tzvetanka screens as part of MoMA's Documentary Fortnight.

Skyrim on 2009 Macbook Pro
Hi guys,
I own a Macbook Pro 2009 with the following specs.
Intel Core Duo CPU P8700 @ 2.53 GHz
4 GB Ram
Windows 7 - 64 Bit Operating System (Bootcamp)
Nvidia 9400M graphics (256mb Vram)
I know my system isn't exactly a good system to play Skyrim on and I accept that. I am only looking for the best settings I can get to run the game. I understand that I may have to install some mods, change some settings and tweak the Skyrim ini file and above all choose the lowest game settings within.
At the moment the fps isn't really all that good. It flutuates quite a bit with the average being probably around 12 fps. I am using fraps to determine this but some people have said that fraps isn't really a good utility for this.
I have already tried some things to get to this point, but I have seen some other people get better than what I get, for instance some videos on youtube show a better frame rate than this and also some people on some other forums, etc have said they can get an average of 25 fps with their MacBook Pro with pretty much the same stats as above.
Just to also point out, I have also tried the beta 1.4 update also, but it didn't really change anything.
I reverted back to 1.3 and downloaded the skyboost mod and it made absolutely no difference whatsoever. I don't know what is going on her, I have chosen the lowest settings possible to play. The game automatically detected medium settings and I have checked it on a website called "can you run it" and that also says that I should be able to play it, giving a tick for everything including the Nvidia 9400M Graphics.
I'm starting to think that something is seriously wrong here.
Hopefully some people can help me, put any suggestions out there and I will consider them
Thanks in advance
The only thing I can think of is that you may want to increase your ram to 8GB. This, in turn, will allow for your graphics card to borrow more memory and give you better gaming performance.
Like you though, I've seem people run Skyrim on systems with lower specs than yours. And still get 25-30FPS on the lowest settings. What's going on with your FPS I have no idea.
Thanks for the reply. I'm still looking for a solution. I have found a mod but by the sounds of it it would dramatically reduce the quality of the graphics (even below the lowest settings), I think it's designed for gamers who have computers older than mine.

Agency filings affecting this section
Tire fee—Core deposits or credits.
This section describes the tire fee imposed under RCW
and the business and occupation (B&O), sales, and use tax consequences related to battery core charges and core deposits or credits, including the exemptions described in RCW
and 82.12.038.
Tire fee.
What is the tire fee?
The tire fee is a one-dollar fee collected by the seller from the buyer on every retail sale of each new replacement vehicle tire. If new tires are leased, the fee must be collected once at the beginning of the lease.
How do I report the tire fee?
A seller must report on the excise tax return the number of new replacement vehicle tires sold. Tire sellers may retain ten percent of the fee and must remit the remainder to the department of revenue (department). As a result, the amount that must be reported and paid to the department is the number of new replacement vehicle tires sold during the tax reporting period multiplied by ninety cents.
What if the seller fails to collect the fee or does not pay the fee on time?
The seller is personally liable for payment of the fee, whether or not the fee is collected from the buyer. Any seller who appropriates or converts the fee collected to his or her own use or to any use other than the payment of the fee by the due date, minus the ten percent retained, is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. Interest and penalties apply to late payments. Refer to WAC
(Returns, payments, penalties, extensions, interest, stay of collection) for more information.
What happens if a buyer fails to pay the fee?
The tire fee, until paid by the buyer to the seller or the department, is considered a debt from the buyer to the seller. Any buyer who refuses to pay the fee is guilty of a misdemeanor.
Is sales tax imposed on the tire fee?
No. The measure of the sales tax does not include the tire fee. See RCW
Is the ten percent amount retained by the seller taxed?
Yes. The seller must report the retained amount as gross income under the service and other activities tax classification on the excise tax return.
What tires are subject to the tire fee?
All new replacement vehicle tires are subject to the tire fee. Refer to RCW
for the definition of "vehicle."
(i) Examples of vehicles for which new replacement tires are subject to the fee include:
(A) Automobiles;
(B) Trucks;
(C) Recreational vehicles;
(D) Trailers;
(E) All-terrain vehicles (ATVs);
(F) Agricultural vehicles, such as tractors or combines;
(G) Industrial vehicles, such as forklifts;
(H) Construction vehicles, such as loaders or graders; and
(I) Golf carts.
(ii) Bicycles, wheelbarrows, and hand trucks are examples of devices to which the new replacement tire fee does not apply.
(iii) The tire fee does not apply to the sale of retreaded vehicle tires. Nor does it apply to tires provided free of charge under the terms of a recall or warranty.
May I refund the fee if a tire is returned?
If a customer returns the purchased new tire and the entire selling price is refunded to the customer, the one-dollar tire fee is likewise refundable. The refunded amount may be claimed on the excise tax return in the same manner as refunded sales tax. If the seller does not refund the full sales price to the customer, the one-dollar fee is not refundable. Refer to WAC
(Returned goods, allowances, cash discounts) for more information.
Does the tire fee apply on sales to the federal government or Indians and Indian tribes?
The tire fee is not imposed on sales to the federal government and need not be collected by the seller. The tire fee does not apply to sales of tires delivered to enrolled members or tribes in "Indian country." Refer to WAC
for more information.
If the sale is exempt from sales tax, is the tire fee due?
Statutory exemptions from sales tax do not apply to the tire fee. The tire fee is due on every retail sale of a new replacement tire whether or not sales tax is due.
Core deposits or credits - Battery core charges.
For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:
(i) "Core deposits or credits" means the amount representing the value of returnable products such as batteries, starters, brakes, and other products with returnable value added for purposes of recycling or remanufacturing.
(ii) "Battery core charge" refers to a core deposit, not less than five dollars, which must by law be retained by the seller when a retail purchaser has no used battery to exchange or trade in. A buyer may return within thirty days of the purchase with a used battery of equivalent size and claim the core charge amount. See RCW
and 70.95.640.
How is tax calculated when the buyer receives a core deposit or credit?
Retail sales and use taxes do not apply to consideration received in the form of core deposits or credits when a purchaser exchanges or trades in a core for recycling or remanufacturing. Therefore, the measure of the sales or use tax may be reduced by the amount of the core deposit or credit. See RCW
and 82.12.038. The core deposit and credit exemptions apply only to the retail sales and use taxes. There is no equivalent exemption or deduction for B&O tax purposes. Therefore, the amount reported under the appropriate B&O tax classification must include the value of core deposits or credits.
This subsection provides examples that identify a number of facts and then state a conclusion. These examples should be used only as a general guide. The tax results of other situations must be determined after a review of all of the facts and circumstances.
Example 1.
A customer purchases at retail a new replacement battery and reconditioned starter, providing the seller with a battery core and a starter core in exchange. The selling price of the new battery, including the battery core charge, is $60.00. The customer is allowed a $5.00 credit because a battery core is exchanged, meaning the cost of the battery to the customer, excluding sales tax, is $55.00. The selling price of the starter is $50.00. The seller allows a $3.00 credit for the starter core, meaning the cost to the customer, excluding sales tax, is $47.00. Retailing B&O tax is due upon the total value of cash plus core value, in this case $110.00, or $60.00 plus $50.00. However, the $8.00 of core deposits or credits may be deducted from the measure of the retail sales tax under RCW
. Thus, retail sales tax is due on $102.00, or $55.00 plus $47.00.
Example 2.
The seller delivers the starter and battery cores accepted in the exchange to wholesalers. A starter wholesaler issues a refund and a battery wholesaler issues a credit memorandum to be applied against future wholesale battery purchases. The return of the used products by the auto parts store for recycling or remanufacturing and subsequent receipt of a refund or credit for the core deposit or credit is not considered taxable consideration for purposes of the B&O tax.

Nick's has the best pizza on the East Side and maybe in all of Manhattan. The eggplant parmigian also is excellent. The room is a bit bland and the service so-so (have eaten there maybe 5 times) but all the more reaosn to put the delivery number on your speed-dial! In fact, I think I will order a pizza tonight!

I first tried this place about a year ago when i was in town visiting a friend and got their pizza. We had a plain pizza that was excellent, fresh sliced mozzarella, tasty sauce, and perfect crust. I now live here on the UES and haved dined in twice. The chicken parm is to die for. the portions are huge(family style). I have ordered delivery and it came fast and very hot. Try the antipasti salad or the delicious baked clams. Highly Recommened.

I've gotten pizza from here quite a few times, and it has always been fantastic. Chicken and Tomato is the best. The other dishes aren't as fantastic, though. The garlic knots were way too garlicy. I was thirsty all night. And the gnocchi was hard and the sauce was very bland. I don't recommend anything else besides the pizza. Also, the delivery staff is very rude! Every time I ordered in, I was given attitude by the delivery men. Not a pleasant way to start off your dinner.

I don't know how anyone can complain about Nick's. The food is great, the prices are reasonable and the eggplant parmesan is the best anywhere. It is baked until very soft in the brick pizza oven with parmesan on top, not mozzarella, which forms a hard crust. The taste is sublime!

Great gourmet thin crust pizza! Great salads and friendly waitstaff! It could be a little more cozy but this place is still great!

I've eaten in the resteraunt a number of times and have had delivery probably 6ish times. Always great ... no problems whatsoever. Great, fresh ingredients. True NYC pizza.

I absolutely love Nicks and have ordered from there numerous times. The one complaint is they can be incredibly slow with delivery and I would prefer they mention they are behind so I can just walk and pick up my order since I am only 2 blocks away. It took us 1 hour and 30 minutes to get our pizza on a Saturday night not to mention they do not allow you to order Calzones on the weekends since they take too long to cook and they are too busy to make them. So just be prepared for a long wait.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo — Following a neck-in-neck delegate haul out of two states and three U.S. territories on Saturday, Rick Santorum called the attempt by Mitt Romney's campaign to paint the day as a victory "very desperate, for a man who supposedly has it in the bag."
While greeting supporters at an airport hangar here just moments before taking off for Mississippi, Santorum was responding to a reporter who cited a recent e-mail from Romney's campaign that claimed Santorum "fell short of making a dent in Mitt Romney's already large delegate lead." Of the day's primaries, Santorum won Kansas; Romney won Wyoming, Guam, the Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.
The Romney campaign took issue with Santorum's assessment of the race in painting a radically different picture of its rival's chances.
"It's not surprising that Sen. Santorum is disappointed in his performance yesterday: Mitt Romney won more delegates than any of the other candidates and continued his momentum and path to getting the delegates needed to secure the Republican nomination ... With delegates being proportionally allocated in almost all of the upcoming states, there's just not a chance for him to catch up," spokeswoman Andrea Saul said.
Earlier in the evening, keynoting a Cape Girardeau Lincoln Day Dinner here, Santorum thanked Missouri, whose nonbinding primary last month helped thrust Santorum well into the top tier. The state's official caucus is March 17.
"What happened during the primary here and the caucuses in Minnesota and Colorado, gave the country an opportunity to take a second look," Santorum told about 500 people at Ray's Plaza Conference Center here. "And we have battled since then. Ever since that vote, we have supplanted the other candidates in the race as being the alternative to the establishment candidate. And we have finished first or second in almost every state since.
"We had a good day earlier in the state of Kansas!" he continued to massive applause. "Depending on news reports, we're gonna pick up anywhere from 33 to all 40 of the delegates in Kansas. So when Mitt Romney inaccurately states that I have to win 55 percent of the delegates or something like that in order to win, well we're off to a pretty good start, aren't we?"
Santorum raised $85,000 on Saturday, his campaign told National Journal/CBS News. A spokesman also confirmed a story by Politico reporting that many of the conservative leaders who coalesced behind the former Pennsylvania senator during January's South Carolina primary, including James Dobson and Tony Perkins, have pledged to collectively raise $1.78 million for Santorum.
At a subsequent stop on Sunday in Tupelo, Miss., Santorum said he is convinced he can make inroads in Mississippi and Alabama despite Newt Gingrich's strong showings in the South.
"Congressman Gingrich is trying to stake his claim here," he said. "But we think that the folks in Mississippi and Alabama are going to vote for the conservative who represents their values, that can present the best contrast to President Obama, and make the kinds of changes that I think the people in the South would like to see: Limited government and strong national security, someone who has the experience to be commander in chief, someone who's gonna get energy prices down, who's gonna open up the gulf and allow us to explore for oil and gas there more than we are now to get those prices down."
Santorum also repeated his desire to have the GOP contest become a two-man race and expressed confidence he could prevail if the party enters what some consider a nightmare scenario -- a brokered convention.
"The establishment is trying to force a moderate Republican from Massachusetts down the throats of the American people, and if we have to go to a convention, we'll win at a convention. I have no doubt about that," he said.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misstated the number of states and territories that voted on Saturday. There were two states and three U.S. territories.

DJs Express Guilt Over Nurse's Suicide Following Kate Middleton Prank Call (VIDEO)
Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian have been wracked with guilt following the suicide of King Edward VII Hospital nurse Jacintha Saldanha.
The tragedy occurred on December 7, a few days after the Aussie DJs made a prank call to the hospital pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles and asking for information on Kate Middleton's health. Jacintha answered the call and patched it through to another nurse, who divulged Kate's medical information.
The DJs aired the conversation, in a state of disbelief that their call had actually gotten through, and the story made headlines all over the world.
Only a couple of days later, Jacintha was found unconscious at an address in central London in what appeared to be a suicide.
"The first thing I asked was, 'Was she a mother?'" Mel said in an interview with Clare Brady of Today Tonight following the ordeal. "If we played any involvement in her death then we're very sorry for that. We couldn't foresee what was going to happen in the future."
"It was the worst phone call I have ever had in my life," he added. "There's not a minute that goes by that we don't think about her family and what they must be going through. And the thought we may have played a part in that is gut wrenching."
The two DJs have been in hiding since news broke of Jacintha's alleged suicide on December 6.
"We are so sorry that this has happened to them," Mel said through tears, regarding Jacintha's family. "No one could have predicted this result... I'm just so devastated. I'm really feeling for them."

Victoria D'Souza, PhD
Assistant Professor
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Structural biology of retroviruses
The D'Souza laboratory investigates the structural basis of retroviral replication, including the initiation of reverse transcription and translation of viral genes. Understanding the structural determinants of these fundamental processes of the retroviral life cycle is vital for
Commercial Opportunities
Retroviruses like HIV and MoMLV are associated with a wide range of clinical diseases, including leukemia, tumors, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The D'Souza laboratory focuses on the structural determinants of retroviral replication, including reverse transcription and gene translation. Although some aspects of reverse transcription and gene expression in retroviruses have received considerable attention, especially with an eye towards potential antiviral therapeutics development, understanding the precise mechanisms that promote or regulate these steps and elucidating the detailed and complex structures formed during these processes could result in novel and superior drug candidates.
Current Research Interests
- Discovering the structural basisof retroviral replication using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and other biophysical and biochemical methods.
- Investigating the structural determinants underlying the basic mechanism of reverse transcription in retroviruses. Specifically, studying primer placement and the initiation of reverse transcription complex formation.
- Elucidating the solution structure and mechanisms of retroviral read-through translation, including correct polypeptide ratio assurance.
Tools and Assays
· Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
· Cryo-Electron Tomography
· Structural analysis
· Structure-based drug discovery
Research Expertise
The D'Souza laboratory has been applying Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and other biophysical and biochemical methods to investigate the structural basis of retroviral replication. Following Dr. D'Souza's initial breakthrough with the structural resolution of the encapsidation signal (an 101-nucleotide RNA) during murine leukemia virus (MLV) genome packaging, the lab is now focused on understanding other structural aspects of retroviral replication.
The laboratory has recently elucidated the solution structure of stem-loop 4 of human 7SK small nuclear RNA (snRNA) in complex with arginine. The 7SK snRNA is a highly conserved non-coding RNA that regulates transcriptional elongation by RNA Polymerase II (Pol II). These findings represent the first high-resolution structural dataset for/snapshot of a key regulatory RNA, and complement the recent characterization of protein structures within other snRNP complexes, including Human Immune Deficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) TAR RNA. Because this 7SK snRNA shares a functional and structural homology with the HIV-1 regulatory transactivation response region (TAR) RNA, Dr. D'Souza's data not only demonstrate sequence conservation, but also reveal motifs that may play a role in the recognition of cellular proteins P-TEFb and HEXIM, as well as the recognition of the HIV-1Tat protein, which has evolved to mimic these cellular proteins. These findings further highlight the role of RNA structure in RNA-protein recognition and provide a basis for understanding the differential binding of Tat to 7SK and HIV-1 TAR RNA –information which could be utilized in the development of potential antiviral therapeutics.
The D'Souza laboratory also has recently elucidated the structure of a conserved retroviral RNA element that is required for genome packaging in the Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus (MoMLV), using NMR Spectroscopy and Cryo-Electron Tomography. These findings are not only a tremendous achievement for fundamental virology, but also carry profound implications for the development of retroviral vectors used in gene therapy. Further, MoMLV belongs to a family of viruses that include human pathogenic viruses implicated in prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome, so these structural studies could be potentially utilized for therapeutic strategies.

Eight local students are among 68 high school seniors in South Carolina set to graduate this year with perfect attendance.
The list includes three students from Summerville High School: Brandon Lee Boykin, Samantha Nadine Hucks, and Laura Michelle Lyon. Also included are: T'Mani Jade Eady of Stratford, Christopher James Bennett of West Ashley, Katelin Hills of Academic Magnet, and Marquis Arnez Richardson and Kevin Lamar Washington, both of Ashley Ridge.
They have attended school throughout their entire academic careers without missing a single day.
"These extraordinary students are to be commended for their dedication," said state Superintendent of Education Mick Zais. "Going to school for over 2,000 days consecutively is an incredible achievement, and I'd like to recognize the tireless dedication these students and their families showed to their education."
In South Carolina, students are allowed to miss up to 10 school days per academic year. Since 1979, students with 12 years of perfect school attendance have been recognized by the South Carolina Department of Education on an annual basis. This year's seniors received certificates and congratulatory letters from Dr. Zais.

Back to the costume. This is one of the outfits she is seen in casually. She also has a jumpsuit outfit that is cool, but I don't own a purple jumpsuit.
The outfit is easy, if you have the pieces, the only thing I spent time on was recreating her hair.
(I was trying to imitate a pose I saw her in, but it is hard to flex with a crescent wrench in your hand)
Step 1: Clothes
White Tank (I used a white beater with a white simple tank under)
Black Skirt
Crescent Wrench
Black boots
Step 2: Hair
As you can see in the third and forth picture, there are four sections of hair for Winry. The pony tail, each of the sides that hangs down, and the bangs. (my bangs merged with one of the sides)
I used a straightener to get my hair to lie as flat as possible, as anime hair can do when it wants to. I also did it to help the pony tail kind of stick up a bit in the back and be a bit more prominent.
Divide it up and straighten it out. I straightened it before putting my hair back and after, in an attempt to tame it. Also, make sure the side sections stay in front of the ears, like Winry, try to just take hair that will more naturally fall there.
(new fish) :D
cute !!!

Code Maverick
I have nearly 15 years experience of full stack .NET development since its inception that covers design, development, testing, analysis, debugging, deploying, and then some.
My current hobbies are:
Writing cleanly formatted and highly optimized code. Refactoring is one of my favorite things to do. There's nothing like beautiful, readable code that performs as well as it possibly can!
Trying to stay up-to-date on new technologies that seem to coming out at a rapid pace.
Of which, my current focus is trying to decide on which technologies are going to last the longest so I'm not re-writing code every 2 years.
On the back-end, I'm thinking ASP.NET vNext is going to shake some things up and be a great thing for years to come.
On the front-end, I'm leaning towards Telerik's DevCraft since they just released: Announcing the Telerik Kendo UI Q1 2015 Roadmap wherein they pledge:
"...commitment for the next release of the Kendo UI MVC wrappers is to stay in line with the ASP.NET vNext development and public Beta versions, and deliver official support for vNext and Visual Studio 2015 shortly after they are released officially by Microsoft...."
Not to mention, it's fast and light with AngularJS integration, Bootstrap support, mobile controls, and offline data solutions.

UCLA International Institute
Asia Institute
Advancing collaborative, interdisciplinary research on Asia worldwide
In talk co-sponsored by CNES, the Harvard professor and author argues "obsessive" focus on Israel takes time and energy away from the protest of other more serious human rights violations perpetrated by other countries.
This article was first published in The Daily Bruin. The online Bruin article is accompanied by a Daily Bruin Video report on the event.
By Jennifer Mishory, Daily Bruin reporter
WELL OVER 100 students gathered on campus Wednesday to see Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard Law professor well known for his strong support of Israel and work on the defense teams of several famous clients.
Dershowitz spoke on campus Wednesday about world condemnation of human rights violations perpetrated by Israel, saying that such "obsessive" focus on Israel takes time and energy away from the protest of other more serious human rights violations perpetrated by other countries.
It is rare to see students protesting any human rights issue outside of issues surrounding Israel, he said.
"College students ought to look at human rights priority-wise," he said. "Campuses ignore first-grade human rights violations."
Dershowitz used places such as Sudan and China as examples – there are far fewer demonstrations against the Chinese for their actions toward Tibet, for example, although the violations are far greater, he said.
"It is being treated as the Jew among nations," Dershowitz said.
At the beginning of the event, UCLA law professor and moderator Jonathan Zasloff questioned Dershowitz based on the title of his lecture, "How the World's Obsessive Focus on Israel's Imperfection Takes Away from Real Genocide."
Zasloff opened the discussion by asking if not being as bad as others is good enough.
Dershowitz responded that there is "disporportionate energy" given to condemning Israeli actions, and that "comparative criticism" should be given.
Later, Zasloff brought up another question, implying that as a liberal democracy, Israel is held to a higher moral standard than the countries used in Dershowitz's earlier comparisons.
But because Israel is a democracy, Dershowitz responded, they have an extensive court system and free press that already allows internal criticism.
No other country faced with the same threats have acted with such restraint, he added.
Dershowitz did not, however, voice support for all Israeli policy.
"I condemn Israel for its use of cluster bombs in the last days of the (Lebanese-Israeli war)," he said.
Dershowitz published controversial articles after the Lebanese-Israel war last summer, discussing the need to change the definition of combatants or civilians during a war.
When combatants no longer wear uniforms, or women volunteer to be human shields, the old distinctions are no longer applicable, he said.
Bruins for Israel President Leeron Morad agreed with Dershowitz.
"Israel isn't perfect, but it's done an amazing job given its situation," he said.
Though the majority of the crowd was vocal in their support for what Dershowitz had to say, several students expressed dissatisfaction with Dershowitz's views during the question-and-answer period at the end of the event.
Norah Sarsour, a member of the Muslim Student Association, called Dershowitz's book, "The Case for Israel," fiction. She cited charges of plagiarism made by DePaul political science Professor Norman Finkelstein
Dershowitz responded by saying that all charges of plagiarism made by Finkelstein were cleared by Harvard University.
But Sabiha Ameen, president of the Muslim Student Association, was not convinced.
"He still didn't discredit Norman Finkelstein's sources," she said.
Some students also voiced discontent with Dershowitz's prioritization of other violations.
Sarsour said that by reducing the priority placed on the lives of Palestinians, "he doesn't value human life."

I've really been into trying new (to me) fashion and styles. I've been seeing peplum a lot lately on a few fashion blogs, but you know me and my cheapness. Why would you buy something you could refashion?
I picked up this tshirt at the Salvation Army for $1. It's an XL women's shirt, so I knew I'd have to work a little magic for it to fit. I loved the color for fall, so I bought it.
I decided I'd turn this tshirt to peplum top. Get ready for some really awful pictures of the steps I took to make it.
First step, I cut the shirt at the bottom where I wanted the peplum to start. I choose about 2 inches above my natural waist.
Next, I took a shirt that fit me well to determine where I'd cut the sleeves/arm holes. I also cut the sleeves off each side right beside the seam. I guess if I really wanted to, I could have kept the sleeves and just hemmed them to fit my arm, but I'm into layering because it's hotter than blue blazes STILL in this swamp of a state. I cut along the sides of the tshirt to peplum top with one inch seam allowance on the side.
Next step, I sewed the sides to make the top of the tshirt to peplum top.
I took the bottom of the top and cut it at the seams so it was two pieces. I don't know if I needed to do that or not, but I did. I did a basting stitch at the very top of both sides to create a ruffle effect. That just consists of a loose stitch with pieces at the end so you can pull the material together. Here is a great tutorial on how to do this and many other ruffles.
Next, I pinned the peplum skirt to the top. Now, this took some pinning and repinning to figure out how it would work. Turns out you should pin the skirt with the "right side" of the material to the "wrong side" of the bottom of the tshirt to peplum top. The peplum skirt should be pinned within the top, like so:
(It will look like the second picture, except you'll stick that whole skirt inside the top.) The seams of the bottom should match with the seams of the top.
I did a zig zag stitch to connect the peplum to the top,then sewed the sides.
I decided the top of the tshirt to peplum top needed to be more structured and not so t-shirty, so I cut off the ribbing, shaped the neckline, pinned (and included some little pleats on the neckline) and sewed.
I didn't sew up the sleeves because I intend to wear this with a jacket or cardigan.
I loved how it turned out.
And here's me rocking tshirt to peplum shirt, my cardi, refashioned skirt and teal jewelry.
