Comments about Boomer & George 3-Level Cottontail Cottage Rabbit Hutch:
The floor of this hutch warped severely after 30 days. The rabbit could exit the hutch through the gap caused by the failed floor. Hay needle refused to correct and could offer no assistance in obtaining a replacement floor.

Comments about Boomer & George 3-Level Cottontail Cottage Rabbit Hutch:
Looks great and easy to put together. 30 minutes and your done! Only negative is that the latches are poorly made. They are not very secure and the rabbits can pop them open. Suggest picking up some better ones at the hardware store. Photo shows both latches. The one I purchased is on the left.

Comments about Boomer & George 3-Level Cottontail Cottage Rabbit Hutch:
Wood quality is not the greatest(hollow on the inside, chips, cracks, etc), some pieces do not quite fit together, and some pre-drilled holes do not line up. Overall, however, it's not too bad of a product. It's probably the biggest hutch on the market and relatively affordable. Very easy to put together (no small pieces; all you have to do is pretty much put a big box together with a few screws). If you intend on getting this cage and keeping it outside, I recommend you put it on a covered patio or look into doing something about the roof. The middle roof piece (in my case, it arrived chipped and cracked) does not fit at all. It's way too narrow and long, so it leaves a decent size crack in the roof. Ventilation issue can easily be fixed with either making an opening(s)on the sized and stapling chicken wire (careful though, the wood is fragile) or just drilling 1-2" holes (maybe 4-5 in a row)above the attic window. Hinges are not bad. I wouldn't say they are extremely easy to open. Maybe because mine are slightly misaligned, so if anything, I am having a hard time opening them.
- Pros Large And Roomy
- Need To Buy New Latches

Comments about Boomer & George 3-Level Cottontail Cottage Rabbit Hutch:
Received this hutch very quickly. The instructions were very unclear and we had to do a lot of guessing to get it put together. There is not a lot of ventilation on the top floor and also is not very easy to clean. the latches that hold the doors close are garbage they are screwed in any old way and they are not aligned right. All the bunny or guinea pig would have to do is push and it would spring open. We are dissappointed because my twelve yr old daughter saved for a year to buy this hutch. I have reservations about recommending this hutch to anyone who is not handy with tools or fixing things. Definitely needs tweeking to get it the way you want it.

Oman has started implementing stress tests in its banking sector to limit the impact of the euro zone crisis and a feared global recession, a senior central bank official said on Sunday.
December 11, 2011 6:20 by Reuters
"Some banks are already doing their stress scenarios and the central bank is also conducting stress tests in the banking system," Abdulrahman Ibrahim al-Balushi, senior manager at the Banking Examination Department of Oman's Central Bank, told Reuters.
"Directly or indirectly there will be some impact in our region from the euro zone crisis. So we will tell the banks to catch up with whatever is happening on a global scale."
Balushi said there was no specific time frame or deadline for the implementation of the stress tests for banks.
"We are encouraging the banks to continuously do it and not just for a specific amount of time," he said on the sidelines of an Arab Monetary Fund meeting on banking supervision in the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
Balushi also said that Oman would not need to adopt any new liquidity measures currently.
"As far as liquidity is concerned, there is not any change because we are not amongst those countries which face liquidity issues… Our overseas exposure is very limited. The local market is highly liquid and we don't have any problems in this regard."
Gulf states should be largely unaffected by the euro zone debt crisis as their banks have minimal exposure to the bloc's debt, the head of Oman's central bank said in November.
Analysts polled by Reuters in September expect the sultanate's economy to expand by 4.0 percent this year and 4.2 percent in 2012, helped by the government's increased infrastructure spending, after estimated 4.2 percent growth in 2010.
Loans and deposits are expected to grow in Oman's banking system in 2012, Balushi said.
"We're focusing on credit risk, this is the major challenge," he added.
Total credit in the small non-OPEC oil producer grew by 12.8 percent year-on-year at the end of August, after 13.1 percent in the previous month, central bank data showed.
Rating agency Standard & Poors (S&P) revised its BICRA (Banking Industry Country Risk Assessment) methodology and affirmed its score on Qatar at 4, but changed the BICRA score on Kuwait and Oman from 5 to 4, Saudi Arabia from 3 to 2, UAEfrom 4 to 5 and Bahrain from 5 to 6.
A BICRA is scored on a scale from 1 to 10, ranging from the lowest-risk banking systems (group 1) to the highest-risk (group 10). (Reporting by Martina Fuchs and Stanley Carvalho, Editing by Sitaraman Shankar)

Since my skin is a combination, I found that this product worked best for my dry and sensitive areas. It has a lovely light almond scent to it. I love how it doesn't cause me to break out, and it is very soothing in general.

This is a great moisturizer!!! I have sensitive skin, and it's difficult for me to find the right balance between moisturizing and exfoliating. I put this on while my skin is still damp and, if necessary, dab off the excess with a tissue or a cotton ball. It leaves my skin soft and smelling nice!

One of the best thicker moisturizing creams I've used. This works great overnight and on my dryer areas of my skin esp during winter, even sometimes as a under eye cream as its gentle enough with its natural ingredients. Really like the light almond milk scent, but not so much the packaging. To me, any packaging like this is really unhygienic. Otherwise, I love the moisturizer itself.

I am really enjoying this so far. At first I had a few minor breakouts and small bumps, probably due to the oil content, which my skin wasn't used to. However, after a few weeks, my skin is dewy, soft and just looks fresh. I will be repurchasing for sure.
Edit- this has totally sorted my skin out. It looks better than it ever has and I am loving this stuff morning and night.

This moisturizer is AH-mazing. I have been using it steadily for about three years now and it keeps my face as perfect as it can possibly be. My skin is really sensitive, really fair, really dry, and I have to deal with rosacea, so in other words it's hard to find a moisturizer that doesn't make my skin hurt or act funny. Celestial is the only facial moisturizer I can really use that meets my skin needs. I also find that the better moisturized my face is, the less acne I have. Because of the high end and pure ingredients my skin's rosacea has gone down too, which is a lovely plus.
I also really like Lush's packaging because they have the person who made the product's face on a sticker stuck to the packaging. The packaging is also nice because if you clean the little black pot out and remove the stickers you can store other stuff in the pot, or you can bring 5 pots back to get a free fresh facemask which is really nice too!

I am vegan and was told Lush were great for reasonably priced skincare/hairdye. I went on a bit of a spree and bought this, the 'Breath of Fresh Air' toner, '9 to 5' cleanser, Caca Noir indigo block and the Cupcake mask.
Despite the fact that this cream is SO oily, it really doesn't do a lot. Broke my face out in a rash, smells horrendous. I tried to use it up as a hand cream but it makes my hands itch horribly and never seems to absorb. Binned.
I really tried to like you, Lush, but you just haven't scored any points with me so far. All the products I tried (particularly this moisturiser and the Caca Noir - I will never forget that experience) were absolutely terrible, had cheap packaging, cheap ingredients, stupid names and smelt hideous. Made me all the more happy to return to spending twice as much for Aesop and Dermalogica. Will probably never buy a Lush product again.

So, i had sworn off all Lush moisturizers after my awful "Afterlife" nightmare.......yet somehow, i ended up with a sample of Celestial............and i'm the one who asked for it! lol. I was on the market for something all natural since i'm very particular about what i put on my skin (chemical wise), more so now since im pregnant :). I guess hormones have turned my once combo skin into a dry and dehydrated mess so i picked something a bit richer than what i would normally go for.
I do really like the scent to this stuff, though i wouldn't go as far as to say it smells "yummy" or anything...it's a very light and soft scent. The texture is a bit thick yet really smooth. The trick to this moisturizer is applying as lightly as you can. I usually spray toner into my hand and then mix less than a pea sized amount of the moisturizer with it...pat all over my face and that's that. Or i just dab on my dry problem areas only. Can't say that i've had any problems with clogged pores (i'm shocked), and it sure leaves my skin feeling smooth as butter. With all that being said I wouldn't recommend or not recommend buying this product. Celestial is one of those moisturizers where (if your curious) you'd just have to try it out for yourself because, i could really see it going either way.....a Godsend or a Disaster depending on your skin. I for sure thought this stuff would break me out like crazy but it hasn't...and i actually really like it.
UPDATE: ut-oh....watch out....PARABENS

I received a sample of this product during my last LUSH visit. This smells like vanilla yogurt, and I sometimes find myself smelling this product when I'm bored :D
It does not irritate my skin, but for the price and the jar packaging, I do not think I will be purchasing this product.

I am on my third pot of this moisturizer. I have really sensitive skin that tends to be dry. This works without irritating my skin and keeps me moisturized. I normally use it at night, but it's light enough for day use.. however it doesn't have an SPF so I would have to layer it for daytime use.

LOVE this moisturizer. I have young, combination skin. It gets so dry overnight, so it's the overnight moisturizer I live by. It's such an essential to my skin routine. It doesn't feel sticky and nasty. It doesn't make my skin feel oily either. And trust me, I've used A LOT of moisturizers that make my skin feel oily. It's the perfect healthy moisture that makes my dry and oily skin glow. Just use something different in the morning, like neutrogena combination moisturizer if your skin gets oily.

The great crash due to uncertainty and the structural response to that exists.It should be said that estimation of seismic demand of structures has become a major challenge. The reason is that the seismic demand using a probabilistic framework is possible. A method commonly known by the name of probabilistic seismic demand. The main core of probabilistic seismic analysis of the fundamental components of modern design method is based on the model of probabilistic seismic demand. The main task of selecting an appropriate model is establishing a mathematical relationship between seismic demand parameters and ground motion severity index is the seismic demand ¬cause a significant increase in the accuracy of estimated. Such pre a field, selected the best model for probabilistic seismic steel moment resisting frames based on such factors as for applicability, effectiveness, efficiency and adequacy will be main in this research. The main task of selecting an appropriate model to establish a mathematical relationship between the intensity of ground motion index and parameter of seismic demand and can cause a dramatic increase in accuracy of seismic demand estimate. With such a background, choosing the best model for probabilistic seismic demand about steel moment resisting frames based on factors such as practicality, effectiveness, efficiency and efficiency is carried out. The main objective of this research in this selection, is the use of a fully methods in statistical calculations, which are very powerful tool in the simultaneous bayesian modeling of the accident, and caused the results obtained to be reliable and practical. In this paper,out of the models of probabilistic seismic demand with a single severity index, with a combined severity index, and with two single severity indexes, the best model is selected. The results show that the model's current estimates seismic demand, in terms of first-mode spectral acceleration. Frames with different levels of accuracy and precision are not identical in tall frames lose their accuracy in tall buildings. Also, due to the problems on the model being applied is a combination of indicators It seems that the best model is the model can be found with two single severity index. Based on these results, the model is a linear combination of spectral accelerations of first and second modes. Keywords: Probabilistic models for seismic demand, steel moment frame, demand estimation, performance-based design I. Introduction Estimating seismic demand is one of the main components of a new method for performance-based design. In this way, a reasonable estimate of the parameters of the seismic demand is generally chosen to represent a structural displacement response that is nonlinear behavior of structures. It is inevitable for comparison with the amount of the performance-based design framework [1]. But the biggest challenge in estimating seismic demands is uncertainty in the quantity and frequency of accidents. This source of uncertainty can be of two types, namely uncertainty in earthquake ground motions (such as earthquake magnitude, distance, etc.) as well as uncertainties in the nonlinear behavior of structures (such as hard, plasticity, nonlinear functions, etc.). So it is natural that the uncertainty is required to perform the estimation due to the accident, using a probabilistic framework. Probabilistic seismic demand analysis is applied to such a framework [2]. The usual method for creating such a framework is based on removing the uncertainty of seismic behavior of structures with uncertainties by using a parameter called severity index (Intensity Measure), [3]. Various studies have shown that the first-mode spectral acceleration, spectral acceleration, especially, SA1, can be an appropriate severity index [4]. Severity index is a parameter that on the one hand cans the risk level of the earthquake, and on the other hand it could be indicative of the level of seismic risk at different levels of performance, it was connected to the seismic demand parameters. So in this way, the problem of estimating seismic demand turns into two separate issues, seismology, and the other one structural. If the seismic demand parameter is the maximum relative displacement between classes and selected to be shown with DR IM , severity index mark is displayed, the seismic demand estimation problem can be solved as follows [2]: P[ DR x] P[ DR x | IM y]. | dH IM ( y) | (1) In this expression, HIM (y) means annual incidence of IM parameters exceed a certain value, or in other words the curve y parameter of the differential severity index that has been used at point y. This is generally calculated by probabilistic seismic hazard analysis method that this paper does not focus on it; there are several references [4]. An important component of this relationship, the term P [DR> x | IM = y] means the probability that the seismic demand parameter exceeds a certain value of the parameter x if y is interpreted to be of equal intensity. In essence, it is the task of linking parameters of indices and parameters of seismic demand that is responsible for the distribution and is calculated assuming a normal distribution of data and the use of a probabilistic model. The core of the estimation of seismic demand, the demand for seismic probabilistic model (Probabilistic Seismic Demand Model) or PSDM is short. PSDM is a general mathematical relation of the parameters of the different functional levels of seismic demand parameters. www.ijmer.com 4039 | Page International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol.2, Issue.6, Nov-Dec. 2012 pp-4039-4044 ISSN: 2249-6645 The probabilistic relationship between the mean and the standard deviation is a functional level, although the standard deviations are generally considered to be constant. In fact, this short article also demonstrates the role of a probabilistic model for estimating seismic demand. Therefore, the present study was done in order to choose the best model for probabilistic seismic demand for structural steel bending of the frame. The seismic demand parameter is the maximum relative displacement between classes, based on various studies, it is more suitable for describing the behavior of a response of steel moment frames, especially in the overall structure in collapse mode. II. Generic frames used for modeling of steel moment frames One of the main goals of this paper is to obtain results that can be generalized for all of steel moment frames. To this end, the general frame concept is used to model structures [5]. In this research, the nonlinear behavior of the users is applied using rotational springs (stiffness and resistance to decay) at the foot of the beams and columns Peak-Oriented Modeling and model for showing the behavior of the hysteresis loop (Hysteresis Curve) as well as to consider a cycle of decline by the model of Ibarra et al. In this paper the general frame of five classes 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 floors are being used on the cover of the first mode period equal to one-tenth of their classes, respectively, 3/0, 6/0 9 / 0, 2/1 and 5/1 second. The next two legal costs, charges the same for all classes, high and during the opening of classes they are respectively 12 and 24 feet. The latest software version is OPENSEES. The software is extremely powerful nonlinear analysis of structures, has been helping. III. Selecting accelerators suitable for nonlinear dynamic analysis In this study, 80 of the theoretical value based on the standard terms of magnitude and distance Bin Strategy are selected and divided into four groups of 20 were classified as follows [6]. - A long, long distance (LMLR) Features: 6.5 <MW <7.0 30 Km <R <60 Km - A very short distance (LMSR) Features: 6.5 <MW <7.0 30 Km <R <60 Km - A low, long distance (SMLR) Features: 5.8 <MW <6.5 30 Km <R <60 Km - A small, short distance (SMSR) Features: 5.8 <MW <6.5 13 Km <R <30 Km IV. Analysis of nonlinear dynamical accelerator Unknown parameters in a model of probabilistic seismic demand should be estimated according to the results of nonlinear dynamic analysis. Dynamic multiplier analysis is the best format for the analysis [7]. In this analysis, using a scale factor which can be larger or smaller than a parameter of theoretical intensity, gradually from a very low level to high level, which is the cause of severe nonlinear behavior of structures be to scale. In this paper, in order to create a complete database, which can be a basis for estimating the unknown parameters of the probability models used in seismic applications, enabling dynamic analysis of structural models under the three main uses 80 theoretical introduction to the [8 ]. As an example of the results of the dynamic analysis enhancer for frames 3 and 15 in Figure (1) is observed. It should be noted that in order to avoid being crowded figure, only the results of the theoretical group of 20 is seen instead of 80 theoretical LMLR.

Evaluating the precision of probabilistic models of seismic demand The main objective of this study was to select the best model probabilistic seismic demand for steel moment frames. To do this, different models for each of these frames is defined in terms of adequacy, efficiency and applicability. The SD model which in fact is accurate in estimating seismic demands can be a very good criterion for judging its main objective is to estimate the standard deviation using Bayesian statistics. The adequacy of the model can be attributed to the constant SD and SD to the low efficiency of the model is defined. Models defined in this study, three groups according to their severity index used in the model with a single severity index, a model with a combination of indicators and models are divided into two single severity index. VI. Model with a single intensity index The easiest way to build a probabilistic model of seismic demand is using a four-parameter peak ground acceleration (PGA) and spectral acceleration at the first mode, second and third order vibration with SA1, SA2 and SA3, as an indicator of severity. In this way, the four models of probabilistic seismic demand can be derived as follows: ln( DR) a. ln( PGA) w . Model No01: www.ijmer.com 4040 | Page International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol.2, Issue.6, Nov-Dec. 2012 pp-4039-4044 ISSN: 2249-6645 ln(DR) a. ln( SA ) w . 1 Model No02: ln(DR) a. ln( SA2) w . Model No03: ln( DR) a. ln( SA3) w . Model No04: However, in order to select the best model, it is necessary to use Bayesian statistics; the standard deviation of the four models, the model covers a number of different classes of σ to be estimated. Figure (2), standard deviation estimates for the four models No01 to No04 frame model is shown separately. What is clear from Figure (2) concluded that the standard deviation of models is largely dependent on the number of classes. In other words, the accuracy of these models and the number of classes are different and it's not a good sign because it indicates this model is inadequate. Although the seismic demand model based on first-mode spectral acceleration estimates in short time frames 3 and 6 class, the best model, and the accuracy is quite good and efficient model is considered But with increasing numbers of classes of frames, standard deviations, and also increases the accuracy of the model loses its effectiveness, so that the frames 9, 12 and 15 floors, the model is considered inefficient. Notable is that the frame 15 floors, this model is the weakest model, based on the seismic demand model No03 second mode spectral acceleration estimates, accurate models, but the three-story model frame, the model is the weakest . Perhaps the only adequate model among the four models, Model No01 maximum ground acceleration based on the seismic demand estimates. But the problem is that the standard deviation is high because the model is inefficient. Applying the case of the four models, so there is no need to talk, because all they do in terms of feasibility analysis and probabilistic seismic hazard calculations simply because they are in the best position possible, and fully functional. 0.45 0.45 3-storey 0.448 Estimated Standard Deviation 6-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 0.422 0.40 0.348 0.40 0.394 0.35 0.35 0.315 0.283 0.30 0.30 0.25 0.25 0.190 0.184 0.20 0.20 0.15 0.15 Model No: 01 02 03 04 Model No: 01 02 03 04 0.45 0.45 12-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 0.371 9-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 0.40 0.422 0.40 0.322 0.323 0.35 0.308 0.35 0.272 0.260 0.30 0.249 0.30 0.25 0.25 0.20 0.20 0.15 0.15 Model No: 01 02 03 04 Model No: 01 02 03 04 0.45 0.387 15-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 0.357 0.40 0.338 0.35 0.30 0.212 0.25 0.20 0.15 Model No: 01 02 03 04 Figure 2 - Standard deviation of the estimated probabilistic models with a single severity index In general, and as a result it should be stated that although the four models built in this area, they are simple and functional, but should be viewed with suspicion in their performance and efficiency. In other words, none of the models can be a single severity index as the best model for all frames with different classes recommended. It seems that the use of such models in estimating seismic demand to prevent a selective effect on the model results for different structures of the different models used. VII. Model with a combination of indicators This section will attempt to use a combination of parameters, optimum probabilistic model is constructed. In order to use the four parameters PGA, SA1, SA2 and SA3, thirteen combined severity index is defined as IM used to be made of 13 different models as follows. www.ijmer.com 4041 | Page International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol.2, Issue.6, Nov-Dec. 2012 pp-4039-4044 ISSN: 2249-6645 SA1 PGA ln( DR) a. ln( ) w .

These models can also be argued that the standard deviation is relatively independent of the number of classes. Although this may partly reflects the efficiency of models, but it still seems to be one of the models to be recommended as an ideal model. In fact, as is known, none of these models to estimate demand at various heights is not appropriate for all legal fees. In other words, the optimal models in short time frames within frames Rank high with good models are different. The main problem with this model is being applied. The particular combination of parameters used in the model causes they use a lot of problems associated with the performance-based design framework, because the common practice for determining seismic hazard curves using probabilistic seismic hazard analysis exists. Also, you can see that in this model, a very poor indicator of the high degree of accuracy is being exhausted. An obvious example of such a story, three-story frame model No06 spectral acceleration mode in which the first mode spectral acceleration has reduced accuracy. In an overall assessment, using a combination of indicators can increase the efficiency and adequacy of the model is a probabilistic seismic demand and maybe even good enough to be a model. But before using such a model, two points www.ijmer.com 4042 | Page International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol.2, Issue.6, Nov-Dec. 2012 pp-4039-4044 ISSN: 2249-6645 should be considered in the first place to define the composition of the index parameter is used to ensure the efficiency and adequacy of the model for all frames. Second, the severity index is defined for a relationship, lowering the production of specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis to be used in the application and satisfies these criteria extremely well crafted. VIII. Model with two single intensity index In this section we build a probabilistic model for seismic intensity using a single index is used. With the four parameters, PGA, SA1, SA2 and SA3, six models can be defined as follows: Model No14: ln(DR) a. ln( SA ) b. ln( PGA) w . 1 Model No15: ln(DR) a. ln( SA ) b. ln( SA2) w . 1 Model No16: ln( DR) a. ln( SA ) b. ln( SA3) w . 1 Model No17: ln(DR) a. ln( PGA) b. ln( SA2) w . Model No18: ln( DR) a. ln( PGA) b. ln( SA3) w . Model No19: ln( DR) a. ln( SA2) b. ln( SA3) w . The estimated standard deviation of the model using Bayesian statistics in the form of (4) is on display. This means the Model No15, which is a linear combination of the first and second mode spectral acceleration and standard deviations of the different frameworks, both in terms of efficiency and adequacy of the condition is quite good. The big advantage of this model is able to accurately estimate both its severity index is the seismic demand. The problem is that the standard deviation and accuracy, it is always constant and satisfactory. SD model, compared with the models introduced in the previous section is very good and it can be concluded that the accuracy is unparalleled in the estimation of seismic demand. It should be noted that the application of these models requires further evaluation. The practical problem is the same as the previous section, the possible lack of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis criteria in their intensity, but the use of these models, the models that are in an index, the calculation is more difficult and require more time to volume for their calculations. But the problem is not caused by the use of the framework design and performance estimation of seismic demand, is impossible. However, considering all aspects can be probabilistic model No15 as a model for optimal seismic steel moment frames for seismic demand estimation presented with a number of different classes [9]. 0.45 0.45 0.390 3-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 6-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 0.347 0.40 0.40 0.315 0.309 0.35 0.35 0.282 0.282 0.30 0.30 0.25 0.25 0.177 0.171 0.168 0.165 0.158 0.154 0.20 0.20 0.15 0.15 Model No: 14 15 16 17 18 19 Model No: 14 15 16 17 18 19 0.45 0.45 9-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 12-storey Estimated Standard Deviation 0.40 0.40 0.315 0.306 0.35 0.35 0.272 0.255 0.251 0.250 0.30 0.30 0.236 0.214 0.203 0.25 0.25 0.184 0.163 0.163 0.20 0.20 0.15 0.15 Model No: 14 15 16 17 18 19 Model No: 14 15 16 17 18 19 Figure 4 - SD estimated probabilistic models with two single severity index IX. Conclusions In this paper, the best model of probabilistic seismic demand for steel moment frames using Bayesian statistics is selected. Given the importance of estimating seismic demand, such a model can have an important role in the performance based design. All results obtained in this study are summarized in the table below and can be based on their conclusion that the current model, the estimation of the seismic demand model with first-mode spectral acceleration, high efficiency is not required and the total finest model with a linear combination of the first and second mode spectral acceleration is introduced. Table 1 - Summary of results from the various models of probabilistic seismic demand Probabilistic seismic demand model with a single parameter Severity Index www.ijmer.com 4043 | Page International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) www.ijmer.com Vol.2, Issue.6, Nov-Dec. 2012 pp-4039-4044 ISSN: 2249-6645 Some frames in model performance is acceptable, but in others a very low efficiency. Adequacy of the model is generally acceptable, except perhaps the models that have low efficiency. Application model, the probabilistic analysis of seismic hazard in terms of practicality and ease of calculation, it is in the best position possible. General recommendation to use this model as the model is unique in design framework based on function is not recommended. If such models are to be used to estimate the demand for each frame is used to define a model of its own. Probabilistic seismic demand models with a combination of indicator parameters if you select the right combination of model performance indicators can be acceptable. Adequacy of the model is acceptable. Applicability of the model of computation is not difficult, but impossible to use it, usually within a seismic hazard analysis. Overall recommendation - a good combination of indicators, selection, and use within the context of the problem of probabilistic seismic demand is high, given that the performance is satisfactory enough can be a good model. Probabilistic seismic demand models of the two parameters of a single Model performance are acceptable. Adequacy of the model is acceptable. Application model, the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis may be no problem, but the volume is very high and many components calculations for estimating seismic demand needs. General recommendation if the volume of computation and time consuming if they use this model to be adopted model is very suitable and acceptable. Resources 1.

She said yes! - Brittany and Kavin
As told by Brittany: We met during high school. He originally started instant messaging me (back when that was a cool way to communicate). We continued to talk and hang out for a while. I ended up telling Kavin that I did not want to date him, but we both agreed that we wanted to stay friends. Regardless, it was not long before I began to fall for him, and from that point on we were together. A relationship that at first seemed not destined to be turned into an almost 11-year relationship. Kavin proposed Dec. 23, 2010. He called on the help of a good friend who tricked me into thinking that I was helping her find Christmas presents for her husband. My friend ended up blindfolding me and driving all around town in attempt to confuse me in regards to where we were going. I still thought Kavin was going to surprise me with a Christmas present and had no idea that he was planning on proposing. When we arrived at the destination, my friend helped me walk to the front of a building, which turned out to be our old high school. I could hear a cover of Taylor Swift's song "Love Story" playing in the background. Kavin made me wait for the song to be over before I could remove my blindfold. When I did, he was on one knee and pointed to little cutouts of the AIM man sending the instant message, "Will you marry me?" My first response was, "Did you ask my dad?" He replied, "Yes, didn't you hear what the song said?" I took the ring and I thought that I had answered the question, but I guess not because he asked me again! Eventually I did say the words, "Yes, of course I will marry you."
Brittany and Kavin were married on May 19, 2012

Bid to preserve the Gates
City's first heritage conservation district may land there
There's something new about to happen in good old Winnipeg. And I really do mean "good old" Winnipeg.
It's something that's bound to create controversy, and even confusion, among certain good old residents of our good old neighbourhoods.
Winnipeg is on the threshold of finally joining Toronto, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria by creating heritage conservation districts within our most historically significant character neighbourhoods -- if the neighbourhoods choose to apply for the designation.
What does that mean for the city and those living within those designated neighbourhoods?
That's what a city study on the concept has been trying to both explain and figure out during a series of recent consultation sessions with the residents of Armstrong Point. The last one was held Tuesday evening at Ralph Connor House, a designated national historic site within "the Gates," as the almost exclusively residential area of more than 120 homes is known.
The neighbourhood, like the house, seemed an appropriate place to conduct a study that the project's consultants are expected to have completed within the next three months for eventual presentation to city council.
The horseshoe-shaped peninsula at the bend of the Assiniboine River has it all: a collection of architecturally significant homes, a canopy of magnificent elms and history that goes back to Winnipeg's boom years at the turn of the 20th century.
And the bonus of a residents association already dedicated to the essential principles of heritage conservation districts across the country. That being to protect and preserve the unique character of a neighbourhood.
Of course, not everyone is a believer, not even in the Gates, as evidenced by the expansion of a private school in the area that displayed a jagged divide in the not-so-close-knit neighbourhood.
All of which makes it an ideal case study for a heritage conservation district, doesn't it?
Jennifer Hansell thought so, anyway. She's the city's heritage planner who was at Ralph Connor House Tuesday for the study's last consultation session.
"What we've been trying to get at is how will that look?" she said. "What will the model be in Winnipeg?
"So we found out people are interested, they want it to happen, but they want to know what it will mean to them. What does it mean to my property values? What does it mean to what I can do to my house?"
Even the heritage-friendly folks were curious about that.
The short answer is in other jurisdictions, the designation has helped property values and being a resident within an HCD means there are restrictions on what owners can do on their property and to the outside of their homes. Any changes have to be in keeping with the character of the area. In some cities, grants are given to help homeowners maintain their homes. We'll see if that happens here.
But, as Hansell pointed out, the city already imposes building-materials specifications in new subdivisions.
Getting back to Armstrong Point, I asked Hansell how the heritage-district concept played out in a neighbourhood that's long felt threatened by change; not that HCDs don't make room for change that fits the neighbourhood.
"For the most part," she said, "everybody was in support of having a district in (Armstrong) Point."
Basically, a heritage district is about protecting the unique look and feel of a community.
"And a lot of people really got that here," Hansell said.
Underlying that, though, is a fear.
"There's a fear that as these houses get older, are some of them going to get demolished? And then what happens? We have infill. What does that look like?"
That's where heritage conservation districts come in, ideally in partnerships with zoning regulations that were used to save the Exchange District before anyone in Winnipeg thought of an HCD.
Near the end of our conversation, I mentioned something that resonated with Hansell. I told her my wife and I often walk through the Gates with our golden retriever, just to enjoy the seclusion and look and feel and of the historic neighbourhood.
Hansell said many residents get that.
She recalled one comment in particular from the consultation process.
"One person said, 'We know we're not doing this just for us. We're doing this for the whole city.' "
That, my fellow Winnipeggers, is what heritage conservation districts are really all about. Forward thinking about the past and future. For all of us and all of us to come.

Joe Sixpack drinks beer and writes about it for a living in America's Best Beer-Drinking City. Yes, it is a dream come true and, no, he is not currently in need of an assistant. He's won a bunch of journalism awards and was named America's top beer columnist in 2002 and 2006. He is the author of the upcoming Joe Sixpack's Beer Reporter Notebook (Camino Books) and he hosts a Web site at www.JoeSixpack.net.

YOU SAY you've got mad beer-making skills and you'd go pro if only you had the time to step up your game?
Back in 1997, the Hohenadel mansion in East Falls was heading toward demolition. Now a family's bought it and it's under renovations.
Prize-winning local brews from fest not tapped out - yet
- The Great American Beer Festival awards are such a tease. Like brazen tarts, the judges tempt us time and again with medals for seductive, mouthwatering brands that just beg you to take a drink.
Life's a beach for this brewery in Cherry Hill
- SPLASHING down a cold one in the tasting room at the new Forgotten Boardwalk Brewery, in Cherry Hill, you can't help but wonder: Why wasn't this place built on an actual boardwalk down the Shore?
Remembering a rogue on the Philly beer scene
- If Steve Hindy looks a little uncomfortable on Monday when he and a panel of local brewers gather for a talk about the "craft-beer revolution" at Yards Brewery, don't blame me.
Forget pumpkin - Octoberfestbier is fall's brew
- DON'T ASK for a pint of pumpkin beer at South Street's Brauhaus Schmitz. One of Philly's few bastions of Bavarian beer purity doesn't serve the spice stuff because the Germans already have a perfectly fine autumn beer, thank you.
What exactly is Bud Light? And that goes for IPA, too
- Bud Light IPA: Don't laugh - you know it's going to happen. What might've been a sacrilege just a year ago seems inevitable today.
Running for a beer seems like Philly to me
- Beer-running is exactly what it sounds like. First you run, then you drink beer.
Summer goes out with beer events
- IF YOU haven't gotten your tix yet for October's Great American Beer Festival, in Denver, too late. The world's largest beer-judging event is sold out.
A handcrafted brew for Philly's working class
- United Ale is a modest brew but one that very well could represent the next step in the evolution of American beer.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Making HIV tests as common as cholesterol checks: Guideline pushes routine screens for most
WASHINGTON - There's a new push to make testing for the AIDS virus as common as cholesterol checks.
Americans ages 15 to 64 should get an HIV test at least once — not just people considered at high risk for the virus, an independent panel that sets screening guidelines proposed Monday.
The draft guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are the latest recommendations that aim to make HIV screening simply a routine part of a check-up, something a doctor can order with as little fuss as a cholesterol test or a mammogram. Since 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has pushed for widespread, routine HIV screening.
Yet not nearly enough people have heeded that call: Of the more than 1.1 million Americans living with HIV, nearly 1 in 5 — almost 240,000 people — don't know it. Not only is their own health at risk without treatment, they could unwittingly be spreading the virus to others.
The updated guidelines will bring this long-simmering issue before doctors and their patients again — emphasizing that public health experts agree on how important it is to test even people who don't think they're at risk, because they could be.
"It allows you to say, 'This is a recommended test that we believe everybody should have. We're not singling you out in any way,'" said task force member Dr. Douglas Owens of Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System.
And if finalized, the task force guidelines could extend the number of people eligible for an HIV screening without a copay in their doctor's office, as part of free preventive care under the Obama administration's health care law. Under the task force's previous guidelines, only people at increased risk for HIV — which includes gay and bisexual men and injecting drug users — were eligible for that no-copay screening.
There are a number of ways to get tested. If you're having blood drawn for other exams, the doctor can merely add HIV to the list, no extra pokes or swabs needed. Today's rapid tests can cost less than $20 and require just rubbing a swab over the gums, with results ready in as little as 20 minutes. Last summer, the government approved a do-it-yourself at-home version that's selling for about $40.
Free testing is available through various community programs around the country, including a CDC pilot program in drugstores in 24 cities and rural sites.
Monday's proposal also recommends:
—Testing people older and younger than 15-64 if they are at increased risk of HIV infection,
—People at very high risk for HIV infection should be tested at least annually.
—It's not clear how often to retest people at somewhat increased risk, but perhaps every three to five years.
—Women should be tested during each pregnancy, something the task force has long recommended.
The draft guidelines are open for public comment through Dec. 17.
Most of the 50,000 new HIV infections in the U.S. every year are among gay and bisexual men, followed by heterosexual black women.
"We are not doing as well in America with HIV testing as we would like," Dr. Jonathan Mermin, CDC's HIV prevention chief, said Monday.
The CDC recommends at least one routine test for everyone ages 13 to 64, starting two years younger than the task force recommended. That small difference aside, CDC data suggests fewer than half of adults under 65 have been tested.
"It can sometimes be awkward to ask your doctor for an HIV test," Mermin said — the reason that making it routine during any health care encounter could help.
But even though nearly three-fourths of gay and bisexual men with undiagnosed HIV had visited some sort of health provider in the previous year, 48 per cent weren't tested for HIV, a recent CDC survey found. Emergency rooms are considered a good spot to catch the undiagnosed, after their illnesses and injuries have been treated, but Mermin said only about 2 per cent of ER patients known to be at increased risk were tested while there.
Mermin calls that "a tragedy. It's a missed opportunity."

Voxengo TransGainer
Overview Features & Compatibility Sound Examples
User Testimonials & Opinions
Hello Voxengo!
Just wanted to chime in and say how much I'm enjoying your products. I'm using LF Max, Transgainer, and your MS plug. I'm a sound designer for feature films and video games, and I simply cannot believe the value and quality of your software. It's unreal!
It would be much harder to do a good job without your stuff. Big beefy sounds!
Thanks again,
Stuart Provine
I have been using Elephant and Soniformer while mastering for YEARS and there isn't a better combo for raising gain and controlling compression/eq without squashing the whole mix. Sometimes I add in the TransGainer for that extra sizzle and especially to liven up a room mic or a drum bus. The versatility of the products really shine when you get into the details. And the fact that I use them sometimes in 20 instances (Elephant makes a great limiter) in Cubase 5 on a PC and never bog my system down and keep low latency. That is just great programming and the reason I will be back for more! My songs recorded with your products have been on radio, film and TV, so thanks for supplying such remarkable tools!
Terry McClain, Delvin Shade Music
I've been using your plugins for quite a while now.
Also right now, actually.
Time to say THANKS for some GREAT TOOLS! These are my main tools on the digital side.
Also I would like to state, that I really like your pricing. With some other plugins, I feel that I really pay a lot for a big name or whatever and I don't really enjoy that. For Voxengo Plugins, every dollar I gave - I gave it to you with pleasure! :)
Cheers from Berlin,
Voxengo Publicity

Not only was this my first time to Rehoboth, it was also my first weekend away with my girlfriend. Matt and Jerry were so charming, and their B&B was really just perfect. Fantastic location, beautifully maintained (the pictures don't really do it justice), and overall just a wonderful experience. The crowning moment, though, was when we returned to our room the last evening to be greeted with music and delicious cordials in crystal in our room! You don't get that at the Hilton.
Bravo! Thanks for everything. We'll be back.

The New Republic has published a hit piece on Chris Hedges that accuses him of plagiarism — without ever really documenting any direct plagiarism as far as I can tell.

Sunday Late Night: Ben Domenech, MSNBC Un-Person

We all know there isn't much you can do to get exiled from the Village Media circuit. If being wrong about war, weapons of mass destruction, the Clinton impeachment, the Catholic church's child rape scandals, and Team Obama's drone-assassination policy were bannable offenses, all we'd have for cable channels would be test-patterns (remember them?)
But it used to be, back in the days of standards that mattered.
Romney's Bad Luck with Evangelicals Continues
|By: Peterr Saturday June 2, 2012 9:00 am
Poor Mitt Romney. After having had to deal with the evangelical search for the best anyone-but-Mitt to back against him, after making his pilgrimage to Liberty University, and after offering up his gay foreign policy spokesman to appease their anger, Mitt looked like he was starting to get a little traction with the evangelical community. When Richard Land called on Rick Santorum to get out of the race, it had to be received as a good sign by Romney that he had at least one major evangelical leader who was willing to get behind him as the presumptive nominee.
But now Land is in some hot water of his own, and was rebuked by the board of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission — a commission he leads. Land lost his radio show but not his job with ERLC. Still, Poor Mitt has to be crying about this. "I finally get a big evangelical supporter, and this happens to him? Why me?"

Best pot for steaming vegs/shrimp etc
I have a Black and Decker steamer which I like alot but it comes in 3 or 4 pieces and is a PITA to pull out and use. As I am just starting my pot and pan collection is there a good steamer out there for the range top. I have gas.
A simple and cheap solution is to get one of those collapsible stainless steel steamer inserts. It'll fit in many different saucepans. They work fine. The quality of the saucepan isn't critical, since all you're using the pot for is to boil about an inch of water under the steamer insert. The main thing is having a snug lid on the saucepan.
Most sets of cookware these days have a steamer insert which will fit one of the medium size saucepans.
If you're acquiring pots & pans right now, consider this: I have a three piece (four, if you count the lid) stainless set stockpot set from Tramontina I got at Sam's. Moderately large stockpot, a pasta insert and a steamer insert. Reasonably priced (I think it was around $30 or so), heavy duty. The steamer portion is big enough to hold a 4 lb chicken, so you can steam almost anything.
With that one purchase you have the tools to steam all the veggies and shrimp you want, and also can use it for cooking rice or pasta. (see in the thread below my post on using a steamer insert to cook rice)
