Daily Dewormer
Daily dewormers come in pellets and contain a low dose of Pyrantel Tartrate. They are designed to be fed every day to prevent parasite infestations before they cause damage. Before starting a daily dewormer, manufacturers recommend dosing a horse with a larvacidal dewormer such as ivermectin or moxidectin to "purge" any existing larval and adult stages of worms. In addition, horses should be given ivermectin or moxidectin once or twice each year to control bots, as well as praziquantel once or twice a year to control tapeworms.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 32 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Indian the best purchase Excellent craftsmanship and quality Shipped and received quickly very well packaged World market beats competitor's prices Happy customer June 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by schleppenheimer great little tables for tight spaces We needed some tables to be able to put drinks on, etc. for around our little living room. These are perfect. We have three of them, and they fit in with the rest of the decor wonderfully. April 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelsey27 Love This Table So, I bought mine when it was on sale (50% off) so it was an even better value, but knowing how much I love it now, I would have paid full price (well, with a coupon!) for it. All the other reviews are right on the target. It's beautifully built, sturdy, gorgeous detail and just fits in my living room so amazingly. I didn't know I could love a little table so much! February 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by MariaFromDC Worth twice the price We have a small living room and a rambunctious toddler, so we wanted modular coffee & end tables (not big single pieces) that had rounded edges our son wouldn't bash his head on. And, we have a bit of an international eclectic look going on in our house, so we wanted something with a bit of a personality and an artisan feel. When we saw this piece in the store, we knew it belonged in our house. Sure enough, it is a beautiful addition. Great character. Excellent quality carving. Good solid wood. And, this a great price - much less expensive than a nearly identical piece at West Elm. We are buying two more... December 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paloma15 Has that special look When this small table arrived, I liked it so much I immediately ordered another, the taller version, for a guest bedroom. These tables are attractive, sturdy, well-built, yet easy to move. The shorter one looks wonderful in our small living room, where it serves as a compact coffee table or as extra seating. Highly recommended! November 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JenWoodhouse Love the texture and warmth this carved table adds! I love the texture and warmth this carved table adds to our space. It's just the right size for our little reading nook. Great price for such an interesting piece of furniture! November 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maddelyn Love, Love, Love this This is a must buy in my opinion. It looks fantastic and the quality is great. It's sturdy and definitely a great accent piece in my living room. I am using it for an end table, and I love that it is unique. Looks great. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Evelyn Excellent accent piece Have had this table (2) for about a year now. They are extremely sturdy and have beautiful detail. I use them as stools in my living area. The best thing about these tables is that you can use them as extra seating anywhere. I receive compliments on them often. Great buy. Many similar out there at a much higher price. You will not be disappointed. May 24, 2014

And the sex toy even targets your other erogenous zones for even greater pleasure! The vibrating rabbit ears dance over your clit until you're hopping! The beads in the shaft spin and twirl to massage your lips. And the shaft of the rabbit vibrator is wrapped with four rings providing extra stimulation as you slide the sex toy in and out of your body.

The travel-sized rabbit vibrator comes with a water-tight ring so you can use it almost anywhere you go – even in the shower or hot tube. The water-tight seal also comes in handy when it's time to wash your vibrator off after use.
The vibrator measures 1 inch across at its widest point and 8.25 inches long, with up to 4 inches insertable. The travel-sized sex toy is made from a jelly-like material called TPR that is soft and squishy for your comfort.

trying to build a wall in my new rented house to separate one big room into two smaller ones. Any recommendations on what to use and on how to build this?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Given that it's a rental, I'm assuming this is intended to be a temporary structure. I'd look at using some sort of storage as a wall. The Ikea Expedit shelves work well as room dividers, if you're only looking to divide the space.

2012 Stanley Cup ChampionsJune 11, 2012A panoramic view in Los Angeles, California - The Rob Arra Collection
It was a historic playoff run for any team, let alone a #8 seed who wondered at times when they would ever score another goal. The L.A. Kings stormed through the Western Conference's top three seeds with a 12-2 run, and went up 3-0 in the Finals against the New Jersey Devils. After a slight hit to the confidence after Devils wins in Games 4 and 5, the boys-in-black returned home to the Staples Center for Game 6 and would not be denied. With Jonathan Quick manning the pipes, and the balanced squad cruising to a clinching victory in front of the home fans...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall!
With this poster, you are transported back to that historic night in Kings history. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every single detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually at the game on that glorious Stanley Cup evening! Providing memories of a Stanley Cup championship that will last a lifetime, it is a beautiful piece that deserves a nice frame and a prominent place on the wall of every fan - the ultimate commemorative print for home, office, bar or arena!

The last time I had to cap some tubing was on 2x2 1/8", used for vertical stakes on a trailer. I had some tread plate laying around a sheared 2x2 plates. Weld them on, grind them flush. Added a little bit of decorative touch, definitely not a factory touch. IMAG0024.jpg

I always cut a flat plate to cap. I will oversize it by a little bit, like a 1/16th both directions. I bevel the plate and tube end. Weld it making sure the plate is barely proud of the tube on all sides. Then when you grind the weld smooth with a flap disk you also grind the plate to the tubes shape.

I like the novel idea to have the power supply mounted separately from the ram, using quick connectors. What other items do you attach to the hydraulic power supply? Just curious. Thanks.

end caps
Go and see welding tipsandtricks ther is a very good video about end caps in square steel tubing
Say your capping 2" square.
Cut the length of tube 2" longer than needed. Take a portaband and remove three sides of the 2 inches extra.
Now hammer the remaining tab over and weld around it. Grind and finish.

Starting one's own business and being an entrepreneur isn't always easy but can be very rewarding. This is what students in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy are learning among other skills in the newly formed academy, the only one like it in the state, according to its organizers.
There are 11 students in the academy that meets weekly at North Point High School. They range in age from 12 to 18, and, according to instructor Darlene Breck, they are all there for the same reason: They want to be entrepreneurs.
The academy is a program that takes students from grades 6 to 12 through the process of starting and running a real business. The program is a partnership between the Charles County Chamber of Commerce and Charles County Public Schools.
Students work with business leaders to develop and cultivate their business ideas, write a plan and pitch those plans at the end of the course to an investment panel.
Breck said throughout the 20-week course they will be introduced to several business owners and learn about a range of businesses.
On Wednesday, the group met with Top Dollar Pawn and Jewelry owner Michael Cohen. Cohen recently opened a second shop in Waldorf. The first, Top Dollar Pawn, is in Oxon Hill. Cohen said he took over his father's store but first went to New York City, where he lived for 10 years, and started two design firms. He told students the first firm failed, and the second one was successful. He said he later sold his portion of the successful firm to his two partners so he could come home and take over his father's pawn shop.
He explained the basics behind his business, that customers come into the shop and either sell merchandise or get a loan. The average loan he said is $100, and a short-term loan is for 30 days. He said in going into a new business "look at it, and see what can be changed."
In his case, he was able to take advantage of technologies that weren't available when his father was running the store, such as communicating with customers via text messages, automated phone messages and email.
He also was able to get word out about his business through social media.
Breck pointed out that the store looked little like a typical pawn shop and more like a retail store. Cohen said that was another idea to bring in business by making the store more appealing. There also is a corner in the store where children can read and do activities.
One student asked Cohen how long it took to get the second store up and running.
He said the store opened 10 months ago, but the idea came about two years ago. It took a year to find a space that met pawn shop regulations and then a while to bring everything together.
Cohen said one key in opening a business is to use as many resources as possible and "make sure you surround yourself with people you trust."
He said it's important that the people they select "believe in your vision as much as you do."
Another student asked Cohen if his store is as successful as he'd hoped.
Cohen said in some ways it is and in some ways it is not. The store did not make as much in 2013 as he would have liked, but, at the same time, due to the nature of his business, he knew things would turn around.
Cohen encouraged students to take educated risks while they are young.
He said one reason he wanted to start his own business was for the freedom it would allow him.
He said he worked 20 years to get to that point, but all the work was beneficial.
David Graham, 17, said visiting Cohen's store and listening to his story was a good experience and was a good way for him and other students to learn firsthand what one needs to do to get started.
Graham said his father owns a business, and he would like to do the same. He said he is interested in the outdoors and would like his business to relate to nature. He said he feels the academy is something that could really help him get started.
Jordyn Boyd, 12, said she wants to start her own online store for "upcycled" clothes, or used clothing that has been turned into higher-quality clothing pieces.
She said the academy is teaching her how "not to say no to ideas and to be openminded."
In a later interview, Breck said in the first session she and program manager Bekah Carmichael emphasized that "no idea is a dumb idea."
Students also learned basic characteristics of an entrepreneur, such as being hardworking and motivated.
Boyd said she liked hearing from Cohen because he worked his way from the bottom and hadn't always been successful.
She said she is a bit of a procrastinator and feels the academy will help her learn new skills to not procrastinate and how to better manage money.
Breck said by the end of the program, students will own their own businesses with fully operational websites and logos.
Cohen said his business will donate laptops to each student in support of their efforts.
Breck said 80 percent of the class has an idea ready. She said it's exciting for her and Carmichael to be able to hear the ideas and help students expand on them.
Some ideas include party planning for preteens, a clothing website, a website for parents and children to read reviews of various things such as toys and games, and a pet-sitting business.

I live in the US and my refrigerator is 115 Volt. I'd like to power it directly from the socket with an extension cord, but I've been told that it must be powered via a surge protector or a special power cord. Is this true?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Home Improvement Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for contractors and serious DIYers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The power cord would have to be short and made of 12AWG wire with ground. I would not go more than a few feet. Best to just have an outlet (dedicated) installed to the fridge.
No special surge protector or special type of extension cord would be required other than the size I mentioned.
If you absolutely have to use a long extension cord I would use a 10 gauge. I also would feel the cord for heating as another caution. Some may feel this is overkill but like I said if you MUST use an extension cord these are my thoughts.

C'mon, let's go in the kitchen and have some kinky fun. Let's get tasty (cheeky grin). Get undressed… Wow, you look good enough to eat already. Yes, I know I've got a hard on. I already want to fuck you so badly. No, we'll have some fun first (smile). But hell, I want to bend you over the edge of the bench and cream your juicy pussy. Yeah, I know I'm crude sometimes. Sorry. No really, I am. Not. (slaps your ass with my palm)
(Looks around the kitchen)
I know…
(Takes a canister of flour from the cupboard and sprinkles a thin layer over the bench top)
Here, press your tits into this. Yeah, like that… bend down and put your nipples in the flour. No, I won't fuck you while you're bent over, I promise. Mmmm, yeah, that looks good.
(Pushing you down harder onto the bench with my hand pushing on your back, making your tits squeeze out to the sides of your chest)
No, I won't get too rough.
(Scooping up a little flour with my free hand and rubbing it into the side of your breast squeezing out from under you – a little for each breast)
Mmm… fucking lovely big tit pies we're making here. Show me. Oh yeah, that looks beautiful, that white powder stuck to your tits. Come here, bend down.
(Taking my stiff rod of a cock in my hand and slapping your tits with it, making little puffs of flour drift down from them as they shake)
Oh fuck, I could so fuck your tits now. I am really building up a good head of special recipe cream here.
(Sprinkles more flour on the bench where your tits have wiped some away and spreads it evenly)
Hop up here and sit. Yes, on the flour. Yep, that's it. Oh fuck yes, rock your hips from side to side in the flour. I bet that flour is sticking nicely to your wet spot, isn't it? It is? You fucking juicy little pie…
(Tapping my cock against your knees)
I just felt like doing that.
Show me. Hop off and get down on your hands and knees on the floor. Push your butt up so your pussy sticks out. You know, how I like it? Oh wow baby, look at that hot little peach covered in flour. Fuck, you're making me stroke myself… I can't help it. No, I won't cum on you. Yet (evil laugh) No, I won't.
(Kneels down behind you and gently separates your floury pussy lips with my fingers)
Mmmmm soft centred and juicy. Nice moist pink filling to this pie. Looks so tasty.
What's this? This is honey. You know those plastic squeeze bottles?
(Standing over you, squeezing a trickle of sticky honey in a line down your back, from a height above you)
Feels good? Looks fucking good. Looks so fucking good.
(Holding the honey bottle a little lower over your ass, and squeezing a stream of it down along your ass groove)
Oh fuck, look at it running down onto your pussy. It's dripping off your peach. Oh yeah, you rock your hips for me, you juicy little bitch pie. Fuck.
(Spreading your ass cheeks with one hand and pressing the honey bottle nozzle against your clenched asshole. Squeezing a big gob of golden honey onto your asshole, so that it oozes down and runs between your pussy lips)
(Touching the nozzle to your pussy entrance, nudging it into your opening, and giving the bottle a big squeeze, making you yip).
You like that? It feels funny?
(Pushing the nozzle a little deeper between your pussy lips and twisting it)
Fucking juicy honey pie. I could really push this honey deep into your pie with my big stick of meat.
(Squeezing the honey bottle above you and draining the rest of it onto your hair, moving the stream in little circles)
Mmmm… my little honey pie bitch. Here lick the bottle. Mmmm yes you hungry little slut, you like it? Lick the honey off the nozzle with your tongue. Fuck, I just dripped into the floor. Yeah, from my cock… I dripped. My batch is nearly ready, I think.
A ha (takes a carton of milk out of the fridge)
Sit up. Yeah, on your heels, like that. Just open your knees wider. Perfect.
(Holding the milk carton poised above your head while you look up at it)
Yes, I'm going to.
(Pours a little stream of milk onto your forehead, then all over your face while you close your eyes. Tips nearly all of the milk carton onto your head, splashing milk onto the kitchen cupboard doors, watching it run in white rivulets down your body, making little channels in the flour on your tits on its way down to your honey pussy)
(Taking your chin in my hand and tilting our head up)
Open your mouth. Don't swallow, OK?
(Gently pouring milk into your open mouth, watching it pool between your teeth until it covers your tongue. Tossing the empty carton aside)
(Putting my hand on top of your head, feeling honey in your hair, holding you still while I force my cock into your mouth, making milk spill out of the corners of your lips and running down your chin)
Oh fuck…
(Fucking your mouth hard and roughly, holding your head firmly with my hand, making milk splash out of your mouth around my cock)
(Pulling my cock out of your mouth, while you spit the rest of the milk out at me, spraying it onto my stomach. Reaching down between your spread legs with my hand, scooping a sticky wad of wet honey out of your pussy with two fingers. Wiping my fingers all over my cock, coating it in a mixture of milky honey and your vaginal lubricant. Scooping the stickiness up my cock with my fingers, piling it onto my flared cockhead. Bunching your hair, sticky with honey, into a ponytail behind your head with my fist and pulling your hair, making your head tilt back. Feeding my sweet tasting cock into your mouth and pushing it slowly down into your throat. Feeling your throat working around my cockhead, pulling your hair harder and holding my cock deep while the honey slides down your throat. Pulling my cock out of your mouth and letting you gasp for air)
You… are whipping up my cream to perfection baby. I think your pussy must be nearly ready for its special filling, yeah?
A cucumber? You filthy girl. It's a turn on being naughty? OK, good girl, I like the way you think.
(Rummages around in the fridge)
Gee, they all look pretty big… how about this one? You want to try it? Sure? Alright, lie on your back on the floor. Yeah, I know it's a mess, so what. Open up, baby. Mmmmm you look so good. Here, let me just slide it up and down across your pussy lips like this… make it nice and wet and slippery… there. Ready? It looks pretty fucking thick…
(Touching one end of the cucumber to your swollen pussy lips, twisting it slightly to part your lips, and easing it gently into your pussy)
Fuck, girl, look… you're taking it. Fuck, you look stretched. It's good? OK, I can go deeper. It sounds like you like it (smiles). Don't tell me you ever had a dick this big, surely not. Yeah honey, thanks…. I know my dick isn't this big.
(Tickling your clitoris with my fingers while I slowly fuck your pussy with the cucumber)
Oh those moans…. You're ready, aren't you? Here, look at the size of this cucumber. Yeah, that was in you. I told you it was huge. I can't compete with that. You won't even feel me! I… what?
Oh you dirty, fucking slut.
Lie on your side. C'mon quick… my load is nearly ready to be served. Here, take this cucumber and put it in your cunt. Oh fuck, baby. Yeah, I know it's good.
(Lying down behind you, my bulging cock nudging at your ass)
Lift your leg a little…
Oh fuck… oh fuck… oh fuck….
(Slipping my cock into your ass, inch by inch, feeling you accommodating me in your honey coated anus while you fuck your pussy with the cucumber. Groping for your messy tits with my hand while I start to pump my cock in and out between your ass cheeks. Feeling the pressure rise in my cock until a stream of hot cum erupts into your ass. Feeling spasms racking your body, squeezing the cucumber and my cock while I howl in release into your ear)
(Pulling your hand aside and removing the cucumber poking out of your pussy before rolling you onto your stomach and pumping my cock into your creamy asshole, my hips pressing down on your ass cheeks, smothering your moans with kisses before dismounting and rising up over you and helping you up to stand)
I love you too (smiles). C'mon, let's clean up in the shower. This mess can wait for later…

Visitors who thought the City of Rockville's Independence Day fireworks were shorter than usual this year were right. The show, held at Montgomery College, was shortened from a planned 20 minutes to about nine minutes due to technical difficulties.
About six minutes into the show, technicians realized the next portion of the show was not working, so they skipped ahead to the three-minute finale, according to a news release from the city.
"They ran a pre-show diagnostic and everything was in working order, but then as the show was going on, some cables that control a series of firings became loose during the show," said Marylou Berg, city spokeswoman.
City officials are working on getting some kind of refund from Zambelli Fireworks, the Pennsylvania-based company that operated the show. The price tag for the planned 20-minute display was about $24,000, Berg said.
"We're working with them on some kind of resolution," she said. "It's a positive conversation."
Rockville has worked with Zambelli for fireworks shows in the past, Berg said.
"We've got a really good working relationship with them," she said. "They've done a great job for us for many years."
A representative for Zambelli could not immediately be reached for comment.

Svindal wraps up Super G Globe with victory at home in Kvitfjell.
He said it was not over after the Downhill but the manner in which HEAD World Cup rebel owned the Super G race down the Olympiabakken course, was one of a World Cup Champion. Aksel Lund Svindal is the first winner of a World Cup Globe this year and has now closed in to within 29 points of Marcel Hirscher in the Overall World Cup point's standings. Georg Streitberger made it a HEAD World Cup Rebels double with second place ahead of Werner Heel.
This was the fourth win on the World Cup for Aksel Lund Svindal out of five races. In the second race of the season he was second, his worst result on the Super G World Cup this season he commented. This win, his 21st World Cup career win and first on home snow, makes Svindal the most successful Norwegian on the World Cup. This was also the 50th time he had been on the World Cup podium.
"I was definitely more focused on the win today that's the thing I am mostly happy about," Svindal said after his victory. "It's fun to win races and I knew that Marsaglia (second in the Super G standings) had to pretty much win today to have a chance at the Finals so I was rather relaxed about it. It felt like I had the title already coming into the race, Super G has been my best event and out of the eight titles I have four Super G ones." Svindal has also equaled the record for most number of wins in Super G in a season, held three times by Hermann Maier, with this his fourth win and with one race remaining.
For Georg Streitberger this was his best result of the season in Super G. "In any case I am happy. Better to be five tenths than five hundredths, that does not hurt so much," he explained. Up until the World Championships, Streitberger's best result had been tenth. "It's perfect for me today, I had an almost perfect run and I feel my shape has been getting better and better in the past weeks, now I just wish the season was a bit longer," Streitberger added.
Matthias Mayer took either place to stay in third place in the season long standings for the Super G World Cup.
1. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD - World Cup Champion
2. Georg Streitberger (AUT) HEAD
3. Werner Heel (ITA)
8. Matthias Mayer (AUT) HEAD
18. Ted Ligety (USA) HEAD
21. Gauthier de Tessieres (FRA) HEAD
26. Stephan Keppler (GER) HEAD

The Two-Way
'Take Me Out Of It,' President Urges GOP, And 'Take The Deal'
Originally published on Wed December 19, 2012 2:32 pm
With the end-of-year deadline looming on automatic tax increases and spending cuts, President Obama on Wednesday made the case that Republicans should recognize "I have met them at least halfway in order to get something done for the country."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and his fellow Republicans should "take the deal," Obama argued, because "if the argument from Republicans is we haven't done enough on spending cuts, that argument's not going to fly. ... We've got close to $1 trillion in spending cuts" in his latest offer.
The other side, as we've reported, doesn't share the president's view. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Boehner said the administration has proposed $1 trillion in new revenues, "but "only $850 billion in net spending reductions."
Talking to reporters in the White House briefing room at midday, Obama also said Republicans may be resisting a deal because "it's very hard for them to say yes to me. ... They've got to take me out of it and think about their voters and what's best for the country."
And he said that Friday's mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., should make all lawmakers think again about priorities. "Goodness, if this past week has done anything it should just give us some perspective," Obama said. "Right now, what the country needs is for us to compromise."
Update at 2:17 p.m. ET. Boehner Responds:
Echoing comments he's made many times in recent days, Boehner just told reporters that he hopes "the president gets serious soon." On Thursday, Boehner predicted, the House will pass the GOP's "plan B." Then, he said, Obama has a choice: get Senate Democrats to pass the plan "or he can be responsible for the largest tax increase in American history" as Bush-era tax cuts expire.

As Democrats and Republicans in Washington remain at odds over how to reshape the nation's finances and prevent it from falling over the fiscal cliff, the public is supportive of cutting spending and at the same time more protective than ever of entitlement programs such as Medicare.
Traditional cleavages of class and race, age and income, and even region are apparent in the latest edition of the United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, but they are far more muted than on issues such as President Obama's reelection or the fate of his signature health care law. When it comes to the tax and spending issues that are at the heart of negotiations in Washington, primarily between the president and House Speaker John Boehner, the public is eager to defend the entitlement programs that both leaders have acknowledged need to be reined in if the nation's $16 billion debt is to stop growing, let alone shrink.
Consider Medicare, with its swelling costs. The health care program for the elderly is at the center of discussions, and prominent panels that have studied the deficit and issued recommendations have often targeted it. But a full 79 percent of those surveyed want the fiscal-cliff negotiators not to cut the program at all. Only 17 percent would be willing to see it cut some, and a minuscule 3 percent would be OK with it being cut a lot.
At the end of an election year in which the public was riven, the unanimity with which the public rallies around this 47-year-old program is striking. As for gender, 71 percent of men want no cuts to Medicare, and 87 percent of women agree. There was a similar racial divide, with 93 percent of non-Hispanic blacks wanting the program exempt from cuts versus 78 percent of whites. Interestingly, men over age 50 were more open to cuts: Only 68 percent of them said the program shouldn't be cut at all.
The figures were similar for Social Security, the other big, universal entitlement that enjoys widespread popular support.
As with many other surveys, the latest edition of the United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll found more support for cutting so-called means-tested programs that are available only to the poor or lower-middle class. Still, 45 percent of men and 52 percent of women said that the government shouldn't make any cuts in "food stamps and housing vouchers" that go to poor families. Among white men without a college degree, a once Democratic-leaning group that has become elusive for the party, some 45 percent wanted the government to leave these programs alone.
However, it's not as if public opinion has swung to a clear defense of expansionist government. Previous editions of the Congressional Connection Poll and other surveys have found stern opposition to the president's health care law, and especially the mandate that Americans buy health insurance.
The poll found somewhat more openness to cutting defense spending, but it was marginal and hardly a full-throated endorsement to negotiators on Capitol Hill. Under sequestration, some $600 billion will be automatically cut from the defense budget and $600 billion from domestic discretionary spending unless Congress finds $1.2 trillion in cuts over the next decade. Given the growth of the defense budget since 9/11 and the drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the Pentagon is a natural place to look for savings. Yet about a third of Americans—34 percent of women and 32 percent of men—say defense spending shouldn't be cut at all. Only 19 percent of men and 15 percent of women want defense spending cut a lot. A strong plurality—47 percent of men and women—approve of some cuts to the Pentagon. And that's what's likely to emerge from a final deal, since there's a bipartisan consensus that the $600 billion in automatic cuts would be draconian but also that at least some cuts are in the offing.
One person who is not at the negotiating table is former President Clinton, yet he has a presence. Unless Congress acts, income-tax rates will return to their levels under his administration. President Obama has said that he'd like to see the highest rate rise from 35 percent, where it is now, to 39.6 percent, the rate when Clinton left office.
Those surveyed were mixed on the question of letting this top rate rise. The GOP argument seems to be making headway, as a combined 49 percent of respondents said it would hurt the economy "somewhat" or "a lot."
Interestingly, 8 percent said it wouldn't hurt at all and 38 percent said that it would actually help the economy by reducing the deficit.
On one of the most contentious issues in Washington, reforming the Senate's filibuster—once a rarely used tool that is now commonplace—the public was divided. A plurality, 49 percent would like filibuster rules changed so it can't be deployed as easily to require 60 votes for Senate passage of a bill. By contrast, 42 percent of respondents wanted to keep it as is.
The survey included 1,003 respondents who were questioned between Nov. 29 and Dec. 2. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

Wood-Clad Environmental HQ in Spain is A Green Gathering Place
A new public building in Zaragoza, Spain is much more than a set of offices for the city's environmental services department — it is also a beautiful extension of the public park next to the Ebro River. Magén Arquitectos added a plethora of sustainable features like solar panels, rain catchment, and a green roof, but they also turned the building into a public gathering place — with an outdoor amphitheater, meeting rooms, and a path that transverses the roof.
The building has certain similarities to a sculpture or a piece of furniture due to its sculpted form, access throughout, and its placement in the park. It's soft Ipe wood-clad exterior, glass-walled meeting room and outdoor amphitheater create an open plan that welcomes the public in. The meeting room's glass walls make brilliant use of a cantilevered roofing system that allows the glass panels to float below, blurring the boundaries between the outdoors with the interior. The city's offices are tucked below on the ground floor, while the public entrance to the sloping site is on the second level.

Sunday, April 21, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Apr. 21, 2002) -- The No. 2-seeded East Tennessee State men's tennis team advanced to their second NCAA Tournament by defeating the No. 1-seeded Furman Paladins, 4-2, for the 2002 Southern Conference Championship Sunday from the Earle Tennis Center on the campus of The Citadel in Charleston, S.C. The win avenges ETSU's only Southern Conference loss of the season, a 7-0 defeat at Furman's hands on Apr. 10 from Greenville, S.C. Although dropping the doubles point, ETSU responded in singles play, taking four of five matches to seal the victory. Buccaneer junior Marcos Pavlovich (Otamendi, Argentina) set the tone early by defeating Southern Conference Player-of-the-Year John Chesworth of Furman, 6-4, 6-4, in the No. 1 slot. ETSU senior captain Roberto Fernandez (Cuernavaca, Mexico) clinched the match in the match at No. 2 singles, rallying from behind 4-2 in the second set to defeat James Cameron, 7-6, 6-4. Fernandez also won the match-clinching point as a freshman against Chattanooga that won ETSU's last Southern Conference championship in 1999. ETSU sophomore Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) and freshman Moises Serrano (Bucaramanga, Colombia) posted wins at the No. 5 and No. 6 spots, respectively. Serrano was named the Men's Tournament Most Outstanding Player after clinching the semifinal win for ETSU and notching a point for the Bucs in the final. The Paladins struck first by taking the doubles point. Furman's tandem of Chesworth and Cameron held off Pavlovich and Fernandez, 8-2, in the No. 1 matchup. Furman's Allen Simmons and Chris Henderson mirrored their teammates' performance in the No. 3 spot, downing the Bucs' Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) and Serrano, 8-3. "This was a total team victory today," said ETSU head coach Dave Mullins following the match. "I am so proud of our guys for what we have accomplished this weekend. Our win against UNCG yesterday was a huge step, it gave us the opportunity to avenge our loss to Furman earlier this season." The Buccaneers must wait until Thursday, May 2 until they will learn their matchup for the first round of the NCAA Championships. Singles matches: No. 1: Marcos Pavlovich (ETSU) def. John Chesworth (Furman), 6-4, 6-4 No. 2: Roberto Fernandez (ETSU) def. James Cameron (Furman), 7-6, 6-4 No. 3: Chris Henderson (Furman) def.

Wallace Collection
The Wallace Collection is a national museum which displays the wonderful works of art collected in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by the first four Marquesses of Hertford and Sir Richard Wallace, the son of the 4th Marquess. It was bequeathed to the British nation by Sir Richard's widow, Lady Wallace, in 1897.
Displayed at Hertford House, the main London townhouse of its former owners, the Wallace Collection presents its outstanding collections in a sumptuous but approachable manner which is an essential part of its charm.
It is probably best known for its paintings by artists such as Titian, Rembrandt, Hals (The Laughing Cavalier) and Velázquez and for its superb collections of eighteenth-century French paintings, porcelain, furniture and gold boxes, probably the best to be found anywhere outside France.
But there are also splendid medieval and Renaissance objects, including Limoges enamels, maiolica, glass and bronzes, as well as the finest array of princely arms and armour in Britain, featuring both European and Oriental objects.
Venue Type:
Museum, Gallery, Historic house or home
Mon-Sun 10:00-17:00
Closed: 24th-26th December
Additional info
Our library is open to the public by appointment only.
The twenty five galleries are a feast of French 18th Century paintings, furniture and porcelain from the Courts of Louis IV & IV of France and Marie Antoinette. The Wallace is also famous for Frans Hals's Laughing Cavalier and a host of other superb Old Master Paintings, as well as the biggest collection of antique arms and armour outside the Royal Armouries in Leeds.

Collaboration, Conservation and Research: Furniture from the Great Gallery
- 19 September 2014 — 27 September 2015 *on now
Two pairs of monumental tables have been on display in the Great Gallery for more than a century. The recent Great Gallery refurbishment project provided the perfect opportunity for all four tables to undergo full cleaning and conservation treatment. To address the treatment needs of the tables, the Wallace Collection teamed up with Buckingham New University, City and Guilds of London Art School and West Dean College and several students undertook the work as an integral part of their degree course. Now, some two years later, the tables have returned from treatment and look stunning in their former locations, much as they would have looked in Sir Richard Wallace's day.
During the course of their treatment conservators and curators were able to analyse the tables forensically, discovering, for example, that the two in the centre of the gallery (F510-511) are not in fact a pair, instead one is a later copy of the other. To learn more about our new findings, as well as the techniques which the students used in their conservation work on these and the pair of pier tables (F514-515), come and visit the display from 19 September in the Conservation Gallery at the Wallace Collection.

1Promega Corporation
2Human Identity Project Team, National Institutes of Standards and Technology
In September 2009 Promega launched the PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Systems to meet the needs of the next-generation European STR genotyping systems
. These systems include five new loci (D1S1656, D2S441, D10S1248, D12S391 and D22S1045) recommended by the European Network of Forensic Science Institutes (ENFSI) and European DNA Profiling Group (EDNAP) for expanding the European Standard Set (ESS) loci
. Both systems are available with or without primers to amplify the SE33 locus. The PowerPlex® ESX Systems are configured with the new ENFSI/EDNAP loci D10S1248, D22S1045 and D2S441 as miniSTRs (<125 bases) and D12S391 and D1S1656 as midiSTRs (125–185 bases)
. The PowerPlex® ESI Systems are configured with the other ESS loci as small as feasible while providing the new ENFSI/EDNAP loci as larger amplicons
Initial population studies performed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) Forensic/Human Identity Project Team did not reveal any significant discordance between the PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Systems or with shared loci in other commercial kits
. Since this initial publication, there have been several reports of X.1 or X.3 alleles at the SE33 locus (where X represents an integer) instead of X or X.2, respectively, when using the PowerPlex® ESI 17 System
. In contrast, when these same DNA samples were genotyped with the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System, the correct allele call was made. To alleviate this discordance we developed a new SE33 primer set for inclusion in the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System (Cat.# DC7780, DC7781).
During the initial concordance study performed with the PowerPlex® ESX and ESI Systems, none of the 1,455 samples used for concordance testing revealed any examples of a migration shift in an SE33 allele that would result in an X allele being called X.1 or an X.2 allele being called X.3
. Since then, there have been several reports of a discordance when using the PowerPlex® ESI 17 System compared to the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System, PowerPlex® ES System, AmpFlSTR® SEfiler Plus™ Kit and AmpFlSTR® NGM SElect™ Kit
. The PowerPlex® ES System and AmpFlSTR® SEfiler Plus™Kit both use the Polymeropoulus primers
, which are the basis of most of the existing SE33 profiles generated in countries using this locus. This mutation appeared to be prevalent in individuals of West African origin, such as the US African-American population. Repeat genotyping of the original concordance study samples revealed nine samples of the original 448 US African-American samples that showed this type of mutation. These samples were improperly genotyped in the original study due to poor resolution on the capillary electrophoresis instrument. Analysis of another 46 US African-American samples revealed a further three discordant samples, for a total incidence of 2.43% in this population group. Analysis of GT37190 DNA (one of the original 448 US African-American samples obtained from NIST) with PowerPlex® ESX 17 and PowerPlex® ESI 17 Systems showed the migration difference that was observed (Figure 1).
The red dye channel encompassing the SE33 locus range for both PowerPlex® ESI 17 (Panel A) and ESX 17 (Panel B) amplifications of DNA sample GT37190 are shown. The 23.2 allele that runs off-ladder in PowerPlex® ESI 17 is indicated by a red arrow. Distances between alleles in both multiplexes are indicated. Peak labels show the allele call (top) and size in bases (bottom). The off-ladder peak seen with PowerPlex® ESI 17 is 0.94 bases larger than the corresponding position in the allelic ladder and hence falls outside of ±0.5-base binning window. This allele is correctly called as 23.2 with the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System.
The size of the affected allele ranged from 0.59 to 0.94 bases larger than the corresponding allele in the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Allelic Ladder, resulting in either an off-ladder allele call or an X.3 allele call if a virtual bin existed for that position in the ladder. The alleles affected in the twelve DNA samples mentioned were 12.2, 13.2, 15.2, 16.2, 23.2 and 25.2. We obtained two additional DNA samples from laboratories in Europe and identified a G to A transition located 68 bases downstream of the repeat (Figure 2). This matched the mutation found in 11 of the 12 samples identified at NIST. Other mutations that exerted the same effect are 60 bases (C to T) and 61 bases (G to A) downstream of the repeat. A closer analysis of the DNA sequence near these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reveals the potential for a stem-loop structure, which would be destabilized by any of the three mutations identified. The existence of this stem-loop structure was demonstrated recently
. It is possible that this potential stem-loop structure and the predicted effect of the identified mutations could be responsible for the observed shift in migration, given the known effect of secondary structure on migration during capillary electrophoresis
The SE33 locus is shown with the location of the Polymeropoulos primers indicated in red. These are found in both the PowerPlex® ES System and AmpFlSTR® SEfiler Plus™ Kit. The repeat structure is in black and bold with the underlined portion representing the region used for determining allele number (sequence shown here is a 25.2 allele). Underlined sequences in red are bases whose mutation (G to A or C to T) at that position results in a shift in migration on the capillary relative to the allelic ladder of almost +1 base. Sequence in bold in larger font with inverted arrows represents a region of self-complementarity that is capable of forming a stem-loop structure in single-stranded DNA with a 5-base-pair stem and a 3-base loop.
Given that the SE33 primer pair in the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System was not susceptible to these mutations, we based the new PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro primer pair on these existing primers. Because the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System SE33 primers demonstrate a high level of concordance with the Polymeropoulos primers
, the chance for any significant new discordance is minimized. PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro primers were designed to yield amplicons of similar size as those currently generated with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 System, thus allowing the use of current panel and bin sets for data analysis.
Primer pairs for the remaining 15 autosomal loci and amelogenin were kept the same as in the current PowerPlex® ESI 17 System, as was the 5X Master Mix, thereby minimizing any potential for discordance at any other loci. The 23.2 allele in GT37190 that had previously been called off-ladder with PowerPlex® ESI 17 ran on-ladder and was correctly called as a 23.2 allele with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System (Figure 3). Five DNA samples that demonstrated this migration shift with the original PowerPlex® ESI 17 System (including one with a C to T mutation 60 bases downstream of the repeat) were tested with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System. All samples typed correctly without the migration shift, demonstrating the ability of this new SE33 primer pair to overcome these X.1 and X.3 SNPs.
The SE33 locus range is shown for both PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro (Panel A) and ESI 17 (Panel B) amplifications of DNA sample GT37190. Peak labels show allele calls (top) and sizes in bases (bottom). The off-ladder peak seen with PowerPlex® ESI 17 is correctly called as 23.2 with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System.
During the initial developmental validation work for the PowerPlex® ESI Systems, studies were conducted to confirm species specificity for these new multiplexes
. While these studies are useful in determining the likelihood of amplification from nonhuman DNA sources, they are unfortunately limited by the fact that it is impossible to model every possible organism that might be encountered in a casework setting. Recently, a few labs including LKA Mecklenburg-Vorpommern encountered casework samples that showed apparent nonhuman amplification peaks, specifically in the red dye channel, when using the PowerPlex® ESI 17 System. These background peaks were sometimes on-ladder and sometimes off-ladder but were eliminated when these samples were amplified with the PowerPlex® ESI 16 System, which lacks the SE33 primer pair. As similar reports of background peaks had not been reported with the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System, we expected the use of the new SE33 primer pair in the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System, which is based on the PowerPlex® ESX SE33 primer pair, to eliminate these background peaks. A casework sample with a prominent artifact at 121.5 bases (as well as several other amplification artifacts below 50RFU in the red dye channel) in the D8S1179 locus when amplified with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 System, but not with the PowerPlex® ESI 16 System, was amplified side by side with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 and ESI 17 Pro Systems. While the peak is clearly present with PowerPlex® ESI 17, it is absent in the PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro amplification (Figure 4).
Results are shown for a casework sample (taped glove) that was previously shown to exhibit an off-ladder peak at approximately 121.5 bases in D8S1179 with PowerPlex® ESI 17 (indicated by arrow in Panel B). Amplification with PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro (Panel A) eliminates this peak. Peaks above 50RFU are labeled and show allele call (top) and size in bases (bottom). Peaks present below 50RFU are not labeled. Variation in peak heights is due to the low-level nature of the DNA sample.
The new PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System incorporates changes to the SE33 primer pair based on the PowerPlex® ESX SE33 primer sequences. This change allows robust amplification of DNA samples containing the X.1 or X.3 SNP and generated amplicons that are not affected by the migration shift caused by these mutations. As the 3′ ends of these new primers have the exact same sequence as primers found in the PowerPlex® ESX 17 System, we expected minimal, if any, effect on concordance at the SE33 locus, given the high level of concordance between this primer set and the Polymeropoulos primers
. Finally, the changes to this primer pair eliminated nonspecific amplification seen in some casework samples with the PowerPlex® ESI 17 System. Therefore, the new PowerPlex® ESI 17 Pro System should allow easier data interpretation for casework samples, with minimal potential for discordance at SE33.

Please review the Frequently Requested Records section below to see if the records you are seeking are already available online. If not you may request records from us using the California Public Records Act. The Custodian of Records group also accepts the service of subpoenas on behalf of HCIDLA for witness appearances and/or documents.
Certain frequently requested records maintained by HCIDLA are available online and do not require a CPRA request. To access these online records, please click on the links below:
For all other HCIDLA records, please submit a CPRA request as noted below.
The public may make CPRA requests by downloading and completing the CPRA Records Request Form (see Downloads section at left) and submitting the form via email, US Mail, fax, or in person at the HCIDLA Main Office public counter. Submission instructions and a fee schedule are provided on the form. (If your records request involves a specific Code Enforcement inspection, please use the Property Activity Report feature to obtain the case number(s) specific to the inspection(s). Please indicate any relevant case numbers in your records request.)
Pursuant to the the California Public Records Act, a CPRA request will be responded to within ten days of receipt by the Custodian of Records. This response will comprise either an invoice for the production cost of the records requested or an explanation from the Custodian of Records as to why the records are not currently available.
Subpoenas for documents may be served upon the Custodian of Records via US Mail or in person at the HCIDLA Main Office. Document subpoenas should be accompanied by a check for $15 payable to the "City of Los Angeles". This $15 deposit will be applied toward the material cost of complying with the subpoena incurred by HCIDLA. Additional charges may be assessed if a large volume of documents is produced.
Subpoenas for witness appearances may only be served directly upon the witness or upon the Custodian of Records. Witness subpoenas should be accompanied by a $275 check payable to the "City of Los Angeles". This $275 is considered a prepayment for the appearance. Government Code 68096.1(b) states "The party at whose request the subpoena is issued shall reimburse the local agency for the full cost incurred by the local agency in paying the employee his or her salary or other compensation and traveling expenses as provided forin this section, for each day that the employee is required to remain in attendance pursuant to the subpoena. The amount of two hundred seventy-five dollars ($275), together with the subpoena, shall be tendered to that local agency for each day that the employee is required to remain in attendance pursuant to the subpoena." Accordingly, if the $275 prepayment does not cover the full cost of the witness appearance, the Custodian of Records will invoice the subpoenaing party for the balance of the amount owed.
Please note: The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA) and Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) are separate agencies from HCIDLA and as such have different Custodians of Records.
