Q: Rsync file with regex The folder in somehost is as following
/strbase/logs/service

Which has among many files the following file:
service.fix.20151109.log.gz

I want to use rsync to transfer this file to my local home directory, but I have to use a regex
^service\.fix\.20151109\.log\.gz$

This works according to regex101.com.
I tried the following command but nothing got transferred.
/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --bwlimit=1333 --include="^service\.fix\.20151109\.log\.gz$" --exclude="*" --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync somehostname:/strbase/logs/service ~

What am I missing?

A: Two things.
First, your filter specification is wrong, it should be:
--include="service.fix.20151109.log.gz"

rsync does not use regexes (it uses patterns as described in the man page) and it matches by default from beginning to end of string.
Secondly, --exclude="*" is hiding the folder /service completely which is the parent folder of the file to be included. It should be exclude=/strbase/logs/service/* instead.

The final command should look like this:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --bwlimit=1333 \
   --include="/strbase/logs/service/service.fix.20151109.log.gz" \
   --exclude="*" \
   --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync \
   somehostname:/strbase/logs/service ~

However, this makes sense for demonstration issues. In real live, I would simply rsync that single file, like this:
rsync -a server:/path/to/file ~

A: Whilst it does not answer the original question of how to use rsync with a regex, to transfer the file service.fix.20151109.log.gz I used:
/usr/local/bin/rsync -a --bwlimit=1333 --rsync-path=/usr/bin/rsync somehostname:/strbase/logs/service/service.fix.20151109.log.gz ~

I took out the include and exclude.

Wisconsin Sports Betting Begins at Oneida Casino in Green Bay

People in Wisconsin can finally gamble on sports legally after the first wager was placed this week at the Oneida Casino in Green Bay, adjacent to the city's international airport.

The Oneida Nation reached a new Class III gaming compact in July with the state, allowing it to operate sports betting. The terms were agreed upon by Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) and the Republican-controlled state legislature. The compact achieved federal approval, as necessary, from the US Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs that same month.
Alma Webster and Sandra Brehmer, dubbed the Oneida Bingo Queens, helped the Oneida Nation embark into gaming back in the mid-1970s. They placed the first sports bets yesterday at Oneida Casino during the sportsbook's grand opening ceremony. Each placed $5 on the New Orleans Saints to beat the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football tomorrow.
It's awesome to think we've come this far to see this operation," Brehmer said of the tribe beginning as a bingo-only gaming business to today running such a large casino with slots, tables, and now sports betting.
The Oneida Nation partnered with third-party sportsbook provider International Gaming Technology and its PlaySports turn-key platform to power the Oneida Casino Sportsbook. The casino offers more than a dozen self-service sports betting kiosks, as well as sportsbook team members who can help new bettors make their wagers and understand how it all works.
First in Wisconsin, But Not Last
Wisconsin does not have any commercial casinos. Instead, the state reserves slot machines and table games for its federally recognized tribes. There are currently 11 tribes that own 26 casinos across the state.
While the Oneida Casino isn't the largest gaming floor in the Badger State, it's less than five miles from Wisconsin's most important sports venue — Lambeau Field. The Packers dominate the state's sports scene. The Oneida Nation is the iconic stadium's Official Gaming Sponsor.
Sitting atop the NFC North, the Packers are once again poised for a deep playoff run. Legal sports betting in Wisconsin will likely be dominated by action on the Pack in the immediate months ahead.
The Oneida Nation is the first to open a sportsbook, but the tribe won't be the last. Several other federally recognized tribes that have Class III gaming compacts with the state say they too will soon enter the sports betting space.
One of those tribes is the Potawatomi Nation, which owns and operates the largest casino in the state — the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee.
Regulatory Conditions
Wisconsin's updated gaming compact with the Oneida Nation allows the tribe's sportsbook to accept bets on professional and collegiate sports. But games involving state schools, such as the Wisconsin Badgers, are prohibited. Mobile betting off the tribe's sovereign land is additionally banned.
Rather uniquely, the sports betting component of the tribe's compact allows the Oneida Casino Sportsbook to offer wagering opportunities on nationally-televised live award shows, such as the Oscars and Golden Globes. Such betting has been limited in legal sports betting states, with New Jersey being one of the few exceptions.
Wisconsin requires its larger gaming tribes, such as the Oneida Nation, to share six percent of their casinos' gross gaming revenue with the state. Those funds are used by the state to cover its regulatory and administrative costs for permitting the tribes to operate Class III gaming.

As we live in the age of uncertainty, not knowing what to believe spiritually, we often feel an unexplainable feeling of precariousness and a void inside us. When we were young and foolish we indulged ourselves in romantic and idealistic notions of what life is like, hence it did not appear to be so problematic. However, when the reality sets in or in the event of facing adversity in life, we realise that we have nothing to rely on mentally and spiritually. Although we often resort to the comfortable environments that our parents and friends provide, such places are not always guaranteed. As is often the case, in this hectic world, everyone is minding their own business. So where can we go and feel a sense of hope and optimism? In response to such a question, I feel a sense of responsibility. I feel that my mission in life is to provide people with a source of illumination. I strive to create paintings that symbolise light, hope, vitality, and aliveness. Hence, my colour-field abstract paintings are aimed to add more colours to people's lives. Our everyday life can be mundane and monotonous. Thus, they are the symbolic reminders that we must wake up each morning, realising that there is so much in our life right now. More colours, more life!


Performance is about responsiveness, precision, handling balance and most importantly; the riders experience. This is why Peter Lynn works tirelessly on perfecting designs to match their heritage of class leading design, ease of use, assured stability and sophisticated craftsmanship.
Developed upon the backbone of the Vapor, the most successful fixed bridle race kite of the last decade. And built with only high-end, ultra-light materials and the latest construction methods. The Aero is designed for uncompromised racing performance but also to offer you ease of use and stability to put a smile on your face whenever you pull the bar to leave everything and everyone behind.
At the same time it is created to get you going in the lightest of breezes because there are few things in life that make your daily troubles disappear like the peaceful mellow of a light wind session. Be it cruising desolate beaches, riding snow covered hills or foiling glass lagoons.
Let the Aero be your ticket to sessions never before possible and enjoy the tranquility of riding in the lowest winds and maximize the time you can spend out there doing what you love most.
Large wind range: Built with only high-tech, ultra-light weight materials the Aero performs in the lightest of breezes. At the same time, it's sophisticated design and large depower range assures you remain in control when the wind picks up. The kite's handling feedback and responsive steering add to a feeling of control throughout the entire depower range giving the Aero a large and balanced 'sweet spot'.
Razor-sharp Upwind Drive: Designed with racing in mind the Aero is tuned as sharp as possible without sacrificing stability. Positioned at the edge of the wind window the kite delivers thrilling speed and a hard matched upwind drive.
Exhilarating Acceleration: Focused and poised to get your adrenalin pumping. The Aero responds immediately to your steering impulse with a ferociously fast build-up of flying speed. Making it easy to get on your board and up to speed quick.
Superior Stability: Whatever you ride, you want your focus to be on the ride ahead without having to worry about your kite. The Aero has a very wide wind window and remains highly stable at the edges. Coupled with our core value of ease of use the Aero crosses the divide between high performance racing and leisurely cruising.
Quick Turning: The Aero's steering is precise and responsive, adding to depth of performance and the pilots sense of absolute control. The kite's turning speed allows for fast and powerful down loop gibes which add to the intensity of flying a high-performance kite even more.
Smooth on Demand Power: The power of the kite is precisely regulated by pulling the bar, from that little bit extra you need to switch stance while tacking or gibing to an explosive boost for some serious hang time. This dynamic and responsive power regulation also allows you to push speed and downwind angle to endlessly addictive levels.
The Aero is also available as Ultra-light, for this version they took weight reduction to a whole new level by using a clever combination of 2×2 types of SkytexTM Fabric. The top skin of the kite is made from 32gr Skytex to give it some extra strength while the bottom skin is 27gr Skytex to reduce the weight to an absolute minimum. For the internal construction, they used 32gr hard coated Skytex for the supporting ribs (Ribs with bridle points) and 27gr hard coated Skytex for the unsupported ribs. The wingtips are made from 32gr Skytex on both the top and bottom skin as the tips normally get to endure the most abrasion.


Personally, I love that Google is so creative with my private data. I am fully aware that in order to use Google's many great "free" services, I pay the company in information about myself that helps it serve better ads. That same information lets it create fantastic services such as Google Now, and it saves me a tremendous amount of pain and suffering. It also, of course, helps make Google Search better. But even if you're like me and you're happy with this model, it's still very important to be fully aware of what Google collects and how you can control it.
With that in mind, here are 10 important URLs compiled recently by Digital Inspiration that every single Google user should be aware of.

The transition between unappealing urban chaos and pristine mountain hiking trails is rarely so abrupt as it is in Arusha National Park. One of Tanzania's most beautiful and topographically varied protected areas, the park is dominated by Mt Meru, an almost perfect volcanic cone with a spectacular crater. It also shelters Ngurdoto Crater (often dubbed Little Ngorongoro) with its swamp-filled floor and lost-world feel.
At 552 sq km, it's a small park, and while there is wildlife here, it's nothing compared to that of other northern-circuit parks. But these minor details can be quickly forgotten when you're walking amid the soul-stirring scenery and exploring the meaningful trekking possibilities.

fue un pintor, ceramista, laqueador, calígrafo y poeta japonés. Era hermano del pintor Ōgata Kōrin.

Biografía

Nació con el nombre de Ōgata Shinsei (尾形 深省). Su familia era descendiente de un clan samurai vasallo del shogunato Ashikaga. Fue hijo de Ōgata Soken, un comerciante rico que vendía textiles para kimonos en Kioto, aficionado a las artes —el reconocido pintor Honami Kōetsu le había enseñado caligrafía—. Su abuelo, Ōgata Sohaku, también fue artista y se instaló en la colonia artística de Kōetsu en Kioto.

Estudió con Hon'ami Koho, nieto de Kōetsu, y posteriormente con el ceramista Nonomura Ninsei, especializándose en decoración de piezas de cerámica para la ceremonia del té. Abrió su propio alfar en 1687, aunque por lo general no se encargaba del trabajo de la cerámica —que lo realizaban sus ayudantes—, sino que se dedicaba a la decoración de las piezas.

La mayoría de sus obras eran de barro cocido a baja temperatura, pintadas en colores preferentemente blanco, negro, verde, azul y marrón, a veces con una barbotina blanca inventada por él. Los motivos decorativos solían ser paisajes nevados, en los que afloraban árboles, bambúes, flores y hierbas entre la nieve. También realizó piezas esmaltadas de aire más suntuoso.

Consiguió reproducir en la cerámica todos los matices de la tinta china, alcanzando una gran maestría. Muchas de sus reproducciones eran diseños de su hermano Kōrin. Sus dibujos, de trazado vigoroso, tienden a la abstracción, como se denota en sus raku. Su estilo era libre y de aire grácil, típicamente japonés, y sentó una notable influencia en la cerámica posterior.

Al final de su vida se dedicó a recopilar sus conocimientos sobre alfarería en un libro, Edo Densho, traducido al inglés por Bernard Leach, quien estudió con Kenzan VI y recibió el nombre de Kenzan VII.

Q: Visual overflow on overflow hidden property I already set overflow property on html tag hidden but if height of html box is let say 200px I can see the overflow of its content clearly . why?

html {
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  border: solid 2px;

This is the result

A: Here is a simple approach.  Body should be styled as well. Add body after html;
It is not a good idea to change body and html for this work, but that is possible. Creating a div element is a better option.

html,body{
  width: 200px;
  height: 200px;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  border: solid 2px;
}

A: Enter the code into DIV, somthing like this:

div {
            overflow: hidden;
            width: 200px;
            height: 200px;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
            border: 1px solid black;

Using the CRA on this rule would foreclose any amendments to it that could make it even more effective for the oil and gas industry, and would prohibit similar rules to limit waste and collect royalties in the future. This would significantly hamper efforts to capture wasted methane for sale in the market, to set new limits on venting and flaring, and to clarify both when lost gas is subject to royalties and when extracted oil and gas may be used royalty-free.
It is certainly within the power of the Trump administration and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to revise BLM's methane rule as they see fit. Tying their hands for years to come is not the way forward. Wasted gas costs consumers and taxpayers millions, and stripping options to limit waste down the road is foolhardy and hurts a burgeoning industry.

May is National Water Safety Month, and we've already talked about some key steps to keeping your pool safe. Those tips include being vigilant by the pool, keeping emergency numbers and kits nearby, and ensuring your perimeter fence is well maintained and up to code. Since it is so important to make sure all swimmers and guests in your pool area are safe, Gizmo, our safety mascot, asked us to share some ideas on how to keep our four legged friends safe around the pool too. Since dogs seem to be the real lovers of water, let's focus on them first. Here are a few things to keep in mind when you and your pup are hanging out by the water.
First off, not all dogs are natural swimmers. Although most dogs know how to swim, not all are good at it. For example, I have two dogs, one of which swims like a fish, the other does the most uncoordinated version of the doggy paddle as possible! Needless to say, they don't exactly get along in the pool.
It is always a good idea to put a life jacket on your dog when out in open water or if your dog is getting tired from swimming in the pool. Lifejackets are also useful tools to help get your furry friend more comfortable in the water. Additionally, always be sure your dog knows where they can exit the pool either by the stairs or a ramp. The Scamper Ramp is a handy attachment that makes it easy for dogs to see and exit the pool.
Dogs can get overheated and exhausted swimming in the hot sun, so be sure to provide fresh water by the pool. Although pool water for the most part is harmless, ingested in high quantities, it can cause digestive irritation, so keep that water bowl nearby.
If you own a pool, you know that dogs aren't the only critters that end up in the water. Many a chipmunk and frog have found their demise by unwittingly falling into a pool. Use this easy ramp to give the little guys a fighting chance to get out, The Frog Log Critter Ramp. Check out more information here about protecting all creatures great and small w hen taking steps to keep your pool safe. Here at Pool Scouts, we can't get enough pictures and videos of animals in pools. Like us on Facebook to see some of those fun posts and send us pictures of your own furry friends in the pool! Whether you are just opening your pool for the season or are in need of regular maintenance, give Pool Scouts a call. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly pool cleaning options to keep your pool up, running, and ready for your furry friends at all times!
LEARN TO SWIM The USA Swimming Foundation states that the risk of drowning decreases by 88% when someone takes swim lessons! That is an impressive statistic, and with so many organizations promoting programs that help people learn to swim, it is easy to find readily available lessons that don't cost a lot. TAKE THE PLEDGE With so many alarming statistics surrounding swimming, organizations around the country have committed to raising awareness and making efforts to educate others on the dangers of swimming and being near water. The USA Swimming Foundation runs the "Make A Splash" program, offering information and resources for adults and parents interested in lessons for themselves or their children. Both Pool Safely and The National Water Safety Month organization encourage you to "Take the Pledge" to be safe swimmers. The American Red Cross also offers an app to promote safe swimming for people of all ages. Summer and fun are synonymous, but keeping safe is important. As pool owners, it is important we do our part to ensure our pool is safe!


After we had two boys, I was very excited about having a girl, so I took every opportunity to gussy up her clothes. The babe is now old enough to wear some of her old clothes, so after a quick rummage through some rubbermaid containers, I had some summery clothes for our trip. These started out as a pair of plain overalls that were just a tad too small. I chopped off the bottoms of the legs, and shortened them to capri length and added some pretty ruffles…. and to the front I added a pretty little faux dress. I love the way it turned out, especially as I had been winging it. The babe loves it as well and kept walking around saying "pretty". Well, today is the wedding, and it is pretty dreary and unfortunately rainy. We're hoping that the weather will perk up as the wedding is outdoors. Regardless, it should be a beautiful wedding and we'll have some hot coffee to keep us warm. To all the mama's out there, Happy Mother's Day tomorrow. Enjoy the weekend, and I'll see you next week.
Last week, there was one really nice day where the weather was fairly warm, though the breeze was just a bit too much for the babe. She kept wiping the hair out of her eyes, and I know it was bothering her. The only problem is, she doesn't keep barrettes or ponytail holders in her hair. If she knows something is up there, she will rip it out, so most of the time she goes accessory free. I grabbed an old knit shirt and cut a strip and with a small running stitch sewed the ends together. I made it wide enough that I thought she might not feel it so much on her head. She kept it on the entire time we were out, then promptly ripped it out when we got back inside. I guess having a headband on was less annoying than her hair in her eyes. The great thing about knit fabric is that it doesn't unravel so you really don't have to do any hemming. It took me all of about three minutes to make this headband, and most of that was spent looking for a needle. They look so cute, are so easy to make and are great for little and big girls alike. I think I might be whipping myself up some now that we'll be outdoors more.
What do you get when your five year old buys her very own Sewing for Children book with some Christmas money? When she gathers up a pair of mama's old flannel pajama pants that shrunk too short (and they also happen to have a lovely pink velvet ribbon as a tie), and a pink glove (the other has been missing for a long time), some thrifted crochet trim and a pair of mama's old stripey knee socks that had a seriously large hole in the heel? You get a beautiful bunny made out of thrifted and recycled materials, and one very happy little girl who made her very first doll. She is doing much better now, all the welts and swelling have gone and she is off of the meds. Thanks for your well wishes and concern, she's her happy little itch free self again.

Rent Repayment Orders – not ALL the rent.
Williams v Parmar & Ors (HOUSING – RENT REPAYMENT ORDER) (2021) UKUT 244 (LC)
We knew that the Upper Tribunal has been itching to get an appeal on the approach to the assessment of the amount of a rent repayment order, ever since Ficcara v James, apparently being keen to make the point that 'the full rent' was not a starting point in the criminal sentencing sense, as it could not go up beyond that according to landlord conduct. This, it appears, was that case (although it nearly wasn't, as we'll see).
The RRO application was by the six former tenants of an unlicensed HMO. Conditions at the property had also meant they asked the local authority EHO to inspect, which resulted in a) the tenants being informed the property was not licensed, b) a 'Preliminary Improvement Notice' listing a number of defect to be remedied, including two category 1 HHSRS hazards (fire safety and excessive cold), and c) a finding that one of the bedrooms was too small for the licensing scheme. (The landlord, self described as a 'professional landlord' with a 'modest portfolio' of properties, did apply for a licence in February 2020, shortly before the tenants left in March 2020, but the application was rejected on the room size and the lack of remedial works).
The FTT had awarded the tenants 100% of rent, minus an amount for utilities costs, based on the UT decision in Vadamalayan. The landlord had appealed, but the grounds on which permission was given were:
a. the correct rental period was not applied by the FTT in calculating the amount of the RROs, and so the amount should be reduced (Ground A);
b. the amounts of the interest-only mortgage monthly payments paid by the landlord should have been deducted from the amount of the RROs, since an RRO should only reflect the profit made by the landlord from the commission of the relevant offence (Ground B);
c. the FTT had insufficient regard to the landlord's financial circumstances and state of health in determining the amount of the RRO (Ground C).
Ground C was abandoned, but Ground B – doomed to fail as originally stated – turned instead into an argument "that the FTT had erred in its approach to quantifying the amount of the RROs by rejecting as irrelevant all factors other than those specified in s. 44(4)."
The UT was prepared to entertain that argument and found that
the tenants, with some assistance from the Tribunal, were able to participate fully in arguing the point, to the extent that, as non-lawyers, they were able to do so. They were fully able to make observations about whether the FTT had gone wrong in awarding them too high a figure. Their skeleton argument also ranged more widely than the narrow question of the interest-only mortgage repayments. I do not consider that they were disadvantaged by the fact that a ground of appeal had not spelt out the argument that the landlord advanced at the hearing. In those circumstances, I consider that it is just to allow the landlord to raise the point without notice and I grant permission for an amended Ground B to include the argument that I have summarised.
Ground A did not last long – the landlord had presented no evidence as to when the licence application was submitted in February 2020 (or any evidence of it at all), and it was therefore not an error for the FTT to decide that the March 2020 date was the end date. The Landlord had not raised this point before the FTT, and the tenants had not had the opportunity to address it.
The revised ground B, however, succeeded. The President of the Upper Tribunal made a number of findings on the correct approach to assessing the amount of an RRO.
39. I am not clear what the FTT meant in (20) when it said that the decision in Vadamalayan deprived it of discretion to increase the amount of the orders. The 2016 Act does not permit orders to be made in amounts greater than the amount of rent paid by a tenant during the relevant period. The FTT then appeared to look for meritorious conduct on the part of the landlord that might justify reducing the adjusting starting point.
40. It seems to me that the FTT took too narrow a view of its powers under s. 44 to fix the amount of the RROs. For reasons already given, there is no presumption in favour of the maximum amount of rent paid during the period, and the factors that may be taken into account are not limited to those mentioned in s. 44(4), though the factors in that subsection are the main factors that may be expected to be relevant in the majority of cases.
41. In my judgment, the FTT also interpreted s. 44(4)(a) too narrowly if it concluded that only meritorious conduct of the landlord, if proved, could reduce the starting point of the (adjusted) maximum rent. The circumstances and seriousness of the offending conduct of the landlord are comprised in the "conduct of the landlord", so the FTT may, in an appropriate case, order a lower than maximum amount of rent repayment, if what a landlord did or failed to do in committing the offence is relatively low in the scale of seriousness, by reason of mitigating circumstances or otherwise. In determining how much lower the RRO should be, the FTT should take into account the purposes intended to be served by the jurisdiction to make an RRO: see (43) below.
The approach to be taken was not, as the landlord argued, 'what amount was reasonable in any given case'. The approach should be:
50. (…) A tribunal should address specifically what proportion of the maximum amount of rent paid in the relevant period, or reduction from that amount, or a combination of both, is appropriate in all the circumstances, bearing in mind the purpose of the legislative provisions. A tribunal must have particular regard to the conduct of both parties (which includes the seriousness of the offence committed), the financial circumstances of the landlord and whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of a relevant offence. The tribunal should also take into account any other factors that appear to be relevant.
51. It seems to me to be implicit in the structure of Chapter 4 of Part 2 of the 2016 Act, and in sections 44 and 46 in particular, that if a landlord has not previously been convicted of a relevant offence, and if their conduct, though serious, is less serious than many other offences of that type, or if the conduct of the tenant is reprehensible in some way, the amount of the RRO may appropriately be less than the maximum amount for an order. Whether that is so and the amount of any reduction will depend on the particular facts of each case. On the other hand, the factors identified in para 3.2 of the guidance for local housing authorities are the reasons why the broader regime of RROs was introduced in the 2016 Act and will generally justify an order for repayment of at least a substantial part of the rent. This is what Judge Cooke meant when she said in Vadamalayan that the provisions of the 2016 Act are rather more hard-edged than those of the 2004 Act, which included expressly a criterion of reasonableness. If Parliament had intended reasonableness to be the criterion under Chapter 4 of Part 2 of the 2016 Act it would have said so.
In this case, there was no relevant bad conduct by the tenants. The landlord did not have any relevant previous convictions but
She was, however, a professional landlord who must be taken to have known the requirements for licensing an HMO. The failure to apply for a licence is unexplained in evidence, save that the landlord said that she overlooked it. There is nothing in her financial circumstances or her conduct to justify reducing the amount of the RROs. The landlord only applied for a licence after an environmental health officer had visited and itemised deficiencies of the Property and the absence of a licence. The Property would not have obtained a licence without further substantial works, had the landlord applied for one, and her February 2020 application was in due course refused because the works had not been done. The inference to be drawn is that the landlord wanted to be able to derive rental income from the Property before she was in a position to do the further works that were necessary to enable her to obtain an HMO licence. There were serious deficiencies in the condition of the Property, which affected the comfort of all the tenants, and the undersized bedroom affected Ms Susans particularly.
These factors, the UT held were illustrative of 'the kind of evaluative exercise that the tribunal needs to conduct when making an RRO in a case where the maximum amount provisions do not apply, indicate that this was a reasonably serious offence of its kind, though not the most serious case that could be imagined.'
The UT made an award of 80% of rent (less the utilities figures) for each tenant, except the tenant of the undersize room who had been particularly affected, who received an award of 90% of rent.
"Where the unlicensed house has serious deficiencies and the landlord is a professional landlord, more substantial reductions would be inappropriate, even for a first-time offender."
Well there we are. We knew it was coming, but this presents a whole fresh set of issues for Rent Repayment Order applications.
The FTT will have to assess the appropriate amount of an RRO with a view to the s.44(4) factors
(4) In determining the amount, the tribunal must, in particular, take into account –
(a) the conduct of the landlord and the tenant;
(b) the financial circumstances of the landlord; and
(c) whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of an offence to which this Chapter applies.
And 'any other factors that appear to be relevant'.
This in the context of the purpose underlying Part 4 Housing and Planning Act 2016, which the UT summarised from the Govt "Rent Repayment Orders under the Housing and Planning Act 2016: Guidance for Local Authorities", as it
identifies the factors that a local authority should take into account in deciding whether to seek an RRO as being the need to: punish offending landlords; deter the particular landlord from further offences; dissuade other landlords from breaching the law; and remove from landlords the financial benefit of offending. Although those are identified in connection with the question whether a local authority should take proceedings, they are factors that clearly underlie Chapter 4 of Part 2 of the 2016 Act generally.
The FTT will therefore have to look at what it considers to be the degree of 'badness' of the landlord's conduct (and any relevant previous convictions), and set against that any bad conduct by the tenants (and depending on how bad that is). Then come up with its reasons for where on the scale of badness it places the landlord's conduct.
As this case is, at least for now, the only peg for where on a scale of badness an award might fall, so everyone will be working on what we must call 'the Williams Scale'. Is the landlord's conduct better or worse than Williams?
There will be a lot of variation in FTT decisions, and doubtless a lot of appeals – by landlords trying to argue that although their behaviour was quite bad, it wasn't all that bad, and tenants arguing that their landlord's behaviour should properly be regarded as atrocious.

So, a self identifying "Professional landlord" with a portfolio among which several other properties were licensed, renting out undersized rooms, 2 cat 1 hazards. including excessive cold, one of the biggest killers, gets a discount for not being that bad. The relative surety of Vadamalayan kicked into touch, leaving claimants and their helpers having to make assessments whether a tribunal will adjudge a landlord not that bad before embarking on the mammoth task of making a claim, not to mention the knock on effect to out of court settlements, where respondents might choose to take a chance rather than settle, relying on the tried and trusted trick of wearing an old shabby cardigan to the hearing, bending over a little bit, coughing and generally proclaiming poor health to win the judge's sympathy, something I've seen employed successfully on many occasions.
First Rakusen now this. Are the tribunal determined to unravel RROs at every opportunity?
We knew this was coming – (and landlord's financial circumstances still not really a factor) – but yes, until it settles down, a lot of uncertainty. Not sure what you'd have to do to get 100% awarded against you, probably illegally evict children from an unlicensed and unheated HMO…
Isn't the point that the maximum is always reserved for landlords who have been convicted or received civil penalties in respect of what Parliament views as the worst offences (i.e. illegal eviction, failure to comply with improvement or prohibition notices and breach of banning orders or the rent was paid by the taxpayer): see s.46(3).
In other cases, in the absence of a conviction / civil penalty / rent paid by UC, the Tribunal is given a discretion but the maximum should be reserved for the worst offenders (which isn't that surprising given its quasi-criminal nature). That seems a pretty principled and fair way to apply what Parliament has clearly intended (or else it would have just said maximum in all cases).
The UT's general direction of travel on cases like this was also advertised recently in Ekweozoh (albeit in the context of civil penalties). Martin Rodger QC said
"The objective of the financial penalty regime, as explained in the MHCLG Guidance, to support good landlords who provide decent well-maintained homes and crack down on a small number of rogue or criminal landlords knowingly letting out unsafe and substandard accommodation, is not advanced by the imposition of a financial penalty in this case. On the contrary, it seems to me to be consistent with both the policy and the Guidance to encourage more landlords, especially those who live abroad, to engage professional agents to act on their behalf. The appellant's case was not presented to the FTT on the basis that, having appointed an agent to manage her property and that agent having failed to alert her to the need for a licence, she had a reasonable excuse for the property having been unlicensed which provided her with a statutory defence under section 95(4), 2004 Act. Nevertheless, the fact that she engaged the services of an agent, as a responsible landlord in her circumstances would have done, is a highly relevant consideration. The FTT accepted that she had "delegated the obtaining of a licence to her agents" but said that that did not "divest her of her statutory liability". Whether it did or not is not an issue in this appeal, (because the appellant did not rely on the defence of reasonable excuse), but the appellant having delegated management to an agent is a strong reason, in my judgment, for concluding that this is a case in which an informal resolution is sufficient and no financial penalty ought to be imposed."
Hard to see how that does not also apply to RROs. In the context of a strict liability offence, I also find it quite hard to argue with.
One difference being that in the civil penalty regime, the Tribunal expects the council to have a policy on penalty levels, and will broadly defer to that policy if clearly implemented (and rational). The other difference being that the maximum penalty is set in statute, rather than the 'happenstance' of the rent level (and rent paid). That said, as per the post, I agree the UT's direction of travel has been clear for a while.

And lets not forget the numerous arguments on "Reasonable excuse" that result in further deductions. In Rhiannon Lawrence, Joshua Griffin, Emma Tracey, Cedron Sion and Finn Paul v. Asaf Cohen the FTT made a massive 55% deduction for the following reasons "We consider that the overall circumstances of the Respondent's failure to licence the Property (including that it was not licensable when the tenancy began, that he was an amateur landlord living abroad and that he was in practice reasonably reliant on a professional agent) entitle the Respondent to a 40% reduction. On top of this, the Respondent's overall general good conduct (including dealing or trying to deal with problems when notified to him, taking the initiative to offer rent reductions and allowing the Applicants to vacate early with no penalty) entitle him to a further 15% reduction".
Makes my blood boil frankly

An alternative approach (Eagleton v Merricks LON/00BG/HMF/2021/0023):
22. In Awad v Hooley [2021] UKUT 0055 (LC) Judge Cooke also expressed concerns (at paragraph 40) that using the total rent as the starting point means it cannot go up, however badly a landlord behaves, thereby limiting the effect of section 44(3). However, with all due respect, this stretches too far the analogy between RROs on the one hand and criminal penalties or fines on the other.
23. Levels of fines in each case are set relative to statutory maxima which define the limit of the due sanction and the fine for each offender is modulated on a spectrum of which that limit defines one end – effectively the maximum fine is reserved for the most serious cases. However, an RRO is penal but not a fine. The maximum RRO is set by the rent the tenant happened to pay, not by the gravity of the offence. It is possible for a landlord who has conducted themselves appallingly to pay less than a landlord who has conducted themselves perfectly (other than failing to obtain a licence) due to the levels of rent each happened to charge for their respective properties.
24. There is nothing wrong with or inconsistent in the statutory regime for RROs if a particular RRO can't be increased due to a landlord's bad conduct. It is the result which inevitably follows from using the repayment of rent as the penalty rather than a fine. The maximum RRO, set by the amount of the rent, is a cap, not the maximum or other measure of the gravity of the parties' conduct. A landlord's good conduct or a tenant's bad conduct may lower the amount of the RRO, as happened in Awad v Hooley when the tenant withheld their rent, and that is how section 44(3) finds expression.
The comments in Awad v Hooley were, of course, obiter. This is a full UT decision on the issue, by the President. While I acknowledge the argument has merit, I don't see how an FTT decision can now go against Williams (subject to any Court of Appeal decision on the issue).

[Online Gaming] Blessing, curse, or both
Posted: October 31, 2010 by Tim Utley in Editorials
The "Gold" Standard
I want to first start off by stating that I love Online Gaming. Xbox Live and the Playstation Network offer a great deal of features that only enhance a game's playability. Having the ability to download demos, new game content, and original titles really has revolutionized the way we play and enjoy videogames. The most defining feature of online gaming is online multiplayer. For me being able to sit in the comfort of my own home and play with people all over the world is something that i couldn't have fathomed in my youth. With all the incredible offerings that come with online gaming, there are a few things that i miss about the days of old. When i was a kid videogames were abundantly more social than they are now. I know i have a greater access to more people with online gaming which in theory is exponentially more social than a LAN party, but the lack of physical interaction creates a disconnect for me. We use to have 4 dudes crammed into a small room with soda cans and pizza boxes everywhere kicking each others asses in Goldeneye on a small ass TV. That was gaming to me at its finest. I can still have that today, but its 4 dudes sitting in their own small rooms playing against each other on their own small ass TV, scattered across the city.
As these online services become more capable i fear that gaming will inevitably become an anti-social experience. It is already bad enough when i ask my friends to come over for a gaming session they would rather stay at home and tell me to "Yo, hop on LIVE". That is fine and all, but i have always felt that gaming has some intrinsic quality that necessitates social interaction. Arcades are all but dead, but anyone who has gamed in there life has spent some quality time in an arcade and more than likely misses the hell out of those kinds of experiences. Some games are meant to be played alone and some games are too boring to play in front of others, but for those outings that are not get your friends over and drink some cheap beer and LAN up some original Halo.
Thank you to the Readers
Lets go for a 1000
This might not seem like a large accomplishment to most, but my blog has hit 100 views and that means a lot to me. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone is coming back and hearing what i have to say about videogames. I'll keep writing as long as you keep viewing. Thanks again.
Media Achievements…maybe?
With the advent of the gamerscore Microsoft made people actually give a shit about finishing games or trying different parts of titles to get a more fulfilling experience. The gamerscore not only represents bragging rights for gamers worldwide it also represents how agoraphobic you are. But the gamerscore has only been relegated to accomplishing certain feats in videogames. Don't get me wrong i love getting me some gamerscore points after a good romp through a game, but just imagine if you could get credit for everything else you do.
Media Achievements could be the next wave of excellence to hit the Xbox 360. The media achievements would independent of your gamerscore as its not gaming related. You would have a separate score that would be displayed under your gamerscore. You could unlock achievements for having a certain amount of songs in your music library or syncing up a Zune device for extra functionality. Just imagine getting rewarded with mediascore points for viewing an entire season of your favorite show on Netflix or listening to Last.Fm for an hour straight without changing the channel. Microsoft has all these great media options available on the Xbox 360 and i believe that the implementation of such an idea would definitely create a greater desire to use these options. So think about it Microsoft, because giving gamers more incentive to use your products will only benefit you more in the long run.
PSPgo, How far did it really "go"?
PSPgo, Who was this really for?
I am all about innovation when it comes to hand-held systems. I also believe that if something is not broke do not fix it. Sony's original Playstation Portable (PSP) entered Sony into a market that was being dominated by Nintendo. The PSP had features and options that set it apart from the Nintendo DS. The ability to listen to music, view photos, and even view movies (which was originally a huge pain in the ass to do). UMD movies were also a novel concept that could have given the PSP an even greater edge had they not been outrageously overpriced. It had potential not only as a gaming platform but as a portable media device.
The system's name did not lie either. The PSP was capable of generating graphics that were comparable to that of a PS2 (now more so than earlier, but you get the idea) and had a great lineup of software. Nintendo wasn't going to just move over though, they had a few tricks left in their bag. To make a long story short Nintendo repeatedly revamped the DS into different models, but made each subsequent model better than its predecessor. Sony would retaliate with 2 more PSP models that offered features like a TV output feature to game on your TV (component only with the PSP 2000, but composite was added with the PSP 3000) and a more study design that featured less vulnerable mechanical components (UMD Bay for example). The newer PSP models still had that original aesthetic to them, but were made into a more functional hand-held systems.
So what compelled Sony to redesign again? Who knows, maybe they were still not satisfied with the current models available on the market. Enter the PSPgo. Sony's latest re-imagining of the PSP looked more like a fancy cell phone than a hand held gaming system. Just the thought of that left a bad taste in my mouth.
Remember this piece of shit?
The PSPgo had taken a slightly different route than its brethren. It was completely digital, no UMDs required. Equipped with either a 16 or 32gb on board hard drive the PSPgo offered gaming on the "go" with no extra baggage. In theory this idea sounds great, you don't have to swap games anymore or worry about them getting scratched or some shit like that. But the thing that at first glance seems so appealing completely deterred me from ever considering buying this product. I guess i am just a analog guy living in a digital world, but the collector in me likes having physical media. I don't like the idea of having to purchase a game code from a local retailer or charge my credit card on the PSN to download a game i could very well hate. Yes some games have demos, but for those that don't you are rolling the dice with your hard earned greenbacks. So if i buy a game that i don't like, guess what, i can't do shit with it besides delete it. Aside from how games are purchased i had a beef with the new design. They made it smaller for some god awful reason. Small might be cute for some people, but its completely ineffective for anyone's hands that are larger than Verne Troyer's. The last nail in the coffin was the price. 250 big ones. Returning to the price of the original PSP that had launched 4 years prior. The system just received a price drop recently of $50, but i don't know how far that will "go" in enticing consumers to purchase a glorified Sidekick. I don't think that this system will ever have a following or remain in production much longer. I have high hopes for Sony's hand held division in the future, just be conscious of your design choices and the repercussions they carry.
Happy Birthday PS2!
This little beauty took the world by storm
Today marks the 10th birthday of the Sony Playstation 2. This venerable machine brought a lot of great memories to not only me but the entire gaming community. I still remember the day my dad walked up my front steps with that big blue box of awesome and would forever change my perception of what was capable in videogames. I remember running out to EBX and buying Madden 2001, SSX, and a 8mb memory card. This system not only has one of the largest libraries of games, but also some of the greatest games ever conceived. The PS2 ushered in a new era of gaming for me by taking tried and true franchises and realizing them with even greater detail, depth, and performance. Playing Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec for the first time blew me away with its incredible attention to detail unlike anything i had ever seen before. We can't forget the first time we as a community laid eyes on Metal Gear Solid 2. Truly great things happened on this platform and will be not long forgotten for many years to follow. If you have a particular PS2 memory you would like to share, disclose it in the comments section. Once again Happy Birthday little buddy, you changed all of our worlds on that fateful day in 2000.
What I expect from Fable 3
Posted: October 23, 2010 by Tim Utley in News and Updates
Ever since Peter Molyneux announced Fable for the original Xbox i have had high expectations for the the franchise. Fable was promised as being an evolving narrative that was constructed around the player's actions. For the most part Molyneux lived up to that, but the game wasn't really as unique as he claimed. With a relatively linear narrative with a few moral decisions to be made along the way it provided a standard action-rpg experience (and an enjoyable one at that). But with most of the original features being cut from the first title it really cried out for a sequel. Enter Fable 2, Molyneux's second outing on a Microsoft platform. Fable 2 did incorporate some of the missing components from Fable, but the experience for me wasn't as enjoyable as the first. I invested a significant amount of time into Fable 2, but most quests and duties to perform were not entertaining as much as they were laborious. The online co-op allowed for another friend to join your quest, but their character was not their own, but a generic character. Valiant effort Molyneux, but the whole point of questing with a friend is to experience the adventure with "our" own unique variations of Sparrow.
How will you rule Albion?
Aside from the shortcomings of Fable 2, Fable 3 is on the horizon (3 days) and i hope for a more invigorating outing from Molyneux's third entry into the series. I am interested to check out the new and tighter combat system implemented in Fable 3 and also the cinematic set pieces that seem to happen frequently (I like story elements that are presented formally, Fable 2 didn't accomplish that for me). Another thing that i am excited for is Molyneux's promise of a truly unique world for each player. By that i mean that your actions will not only shape a communities vision or feelings toward you, but your actions will now actually shape the world you are living in. If you decide to be an Industrial Titan your world will look dirty and the people will look like they just got off an 18 shift at a factory. Or the opposite and you decide to be a benevolent ruler and your land looks pristine and everyone is frolicking around without a care in the world. Lastly is the revamped co-op feature that was botched in Fable 2. Now when you enter a friends world you will be entering not only what they have done with their world, but you will be also representing your presence with your character not a generic hero. Molyneux has promised big things for this upcoming title and i really hope that my next trip into Albion will be a more enjoyable one.

A look at Super Meat Boy
Is this the return of Classic Platforming?
This game has been getting an adequate amount of buzz on the web and i felt the need to look into it. Super Meat Boy comes from developers Team Meat and they are looking to rank amongst other classic platforming greats. From what i have discovered thus far this game is attempting to recreate that classic/frustrating platforming experience seen in games like Super Mario Brothers and Megaman. With rudimentary controls seen in platformers of yesteryear, retro-style pixelated graphics, and an unforgiving difficulty really make this game feel and look like an instant classic. I will be investigating this game more in the coming days as it launches tomorrow on Xbox 360, Wii, PC, and Mac. If i get hooked like so many other early viewers i will be providing a review later in the week.
GTAIV meets Heavy Rain in the "Mastermind"
While doing some early surfing this morning i came across this video via Kotaku. It is a short film that was shot entirely using the PC version of GTAIV (Pretty cool concept). It is about 15 minutes long and just like me you will probably have no clue what is going on. It follows around a more disheveled looking Niko Belic (character has no name, and isn't actually Niko Belic) as he gallivants around Liberty City. Running,murmuring comments, and seeing weird shit comprises most of this film. I admire the directors vision, but overall he didn't create something to encapsulate a large audience.

Beer and malt beverage labels are a fundamental element in packaging your product for consumers. As defined by Federal alcohol labeling requirements, is any product made at a brewery with malted barley and hops. Beer is the primary malt beverage; however, malt beverages do include both alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic products. In order for consumers to understand the ingredients and nutritional values of these beverages, beer and malt beverage labels are required on all consumer products.
ImageTek Labels has designed the guide below, to help you understand what information must be present on your beer & malt beverage label. The guidelines dictating what information must be displayed on malt beverage labels have been established by The U.S. Department of Alcohol and Tobacco, Tax and Trade Bureau, also known as the TTB. The regulations set forth by the TTB, were designed to help consumers make more informed choices when buying beer and malt beverages. ImageTek cannot suggest label printing alternatives, we are simply here to help you meet TTB labeling requirements and assist you with design and/or label printing. For more information about beer and malt beverage labeling please contact your State alcohol beverage authority.
The presence of "DRAFT/DRAUGHT" on a label generally means that the product has not been pasteurized and some other method of removing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria has been utilized. However, pasteurized beer may be described as "Draft Brewed" or "Draft Beer Flavor" as long as the beer or malt beverage label discloses that the beer is pasteurized. The term may also be used if the beer is packaged in containers of one gallon or larger and the contents are to be drawn off through a tap, spigot, faucet, or similar device.
The brand name is used to identify and market a beer or malt beverage . A brand name may not mislead the consumer about the age, identity, origin, or other characteristics of the malt beverage.
The name and address of the bottler or importer must appear on the brand label. However, the address of the bottler's principal place of business may be used instead of the actual location where the bottling took place. It is also permissible for a bottler/importer to use a duly authorized trade name in place of its usual operating name.
The brand label of a beer or malt beverage must contain the class designation of the product. Examples of class designations are beer, ale and lager. Ale, stout, and porter are classes that must be fermented at a comparatively high temperature. Products labeled "Wheat Beer" must be made from a fermentable base that consists of at least 25% by weight malted wheat.
When a beer or malt beverage is made with the addition of spices, fruit, honey, or natural flavors, it requires specific labeling to indicate the class of designation. These malt beverages must be labeled with a statement of composition that reflects the base malt product and the added ingredients, unless otherwise known to the trade under a particular designation. Examples of statements of composition that you might see on malt beverage labels include "Premium malt beverage with natural flavors," "Ale fermented with spices," or "Belgian-style Wheat Ale brewed with natural flavors." These products must also bear a distinctive or fanciful name (such as Tammy's Treat"). A malt beverage must derive at least 51% of its alcohol content from the fermentation of brewing ingredients, with stricter limits for products with an alcohol content of more than 6 percent alcohol by volume.
An optional statement of alcohol content expressed in percent by volume may appear on the label. Federal regulations require the alcohol content to appear on the labels of flavored malt beverages that derive alcohol from added flavors. However, some State laws have their own requirements with regard to alcohol content statements.
A malt beverage may be labeled with a caloric representation (such as "Light" or "Lite") as long as a statement of average analysis appears on the label. This statement must include the amount per serving of calories, carbohydrates, protein, and fat. In addition, a malt beverage may be labeled as "Low-Carbohydrate" if the label includes a statement of average analysis and the product contains no more than 7 grams of carbohydrates per 12-ounce serving.
The net content of a malt beverage container must be stated in English units of measure (e.g., pints, fluid ounces).
By law, this statement is required on all alcoholic beverages containing 0.5% or more alcohol by volume.

Insulin-induced phospholipase D1 and phospholipase D2 activity in human embryonic kidney-293 cells mediated by the phospholipase C gamma and protein kinase C alpha signalling cascade.
Slaaby R1, Du G, Altshuller YM, Frohman MA, Seedorf K.
Phospholipase D (PLD)1 is quiescent in vitro and in vivo until stimulated by classical protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms, ADP-ribosylation factor or Rho family members. By contrast, PLD2 has high basal activity, and the mechanisms involved in agonist-induced activation of PLD2 are poorly understood. Using transiently transfected human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells as a model system, we report in the present study that PLD2 overexpressed in HEK-293 cells exhibits regulatory properties similar to PLD1 when stimulated in response to insulin and phorbol ester. Co-expression of PLD1 or PLD2 with PKC alpha results in constitutive activation of both PLD isoforms, which cannot be further stimulated by insulin. Co-expression of PLD1 with phospholipase C (PLC)gamma has the same effect, while co-expression of PLD2 with PLC gamma allows PLD2 activity to be stimulated in an insulin-dependent manner. The PKC-specific inhibitors bisindolylmaleimide and Gö 6976 abolish insulin-induced PLD2 activation in HEK-293 cells co-expressing the insulin receptor, PLC gamma and PLD2, confirming that not only PLD1, but PLD2 as well, is regulated in a PKC-dependent manner. Finally, we provide evidence that PKC alpha is constitutively associated with PLD2. In summary, we demonstrate that insulin treatment results in activation of both PLD1 and PLD2 in appropriate cell types when the appropriate upstream intermediate signalling components, i.e. PKC alpha and PLC gamma, are expressed at sufficient levels.

Content: -2 Extreme caution for older teenagers and adults.
In THE WILD WILD WEST, Will Smith and Kevin Kline team up in a big, flamboyant, simply plotted, and finally merely serviceable adaptation of the popular television series which aims to please all members of the family. America and the President are saved as these government agents encounter some violent and a few sexually suggestive moments while using a few obscenities.
Mild moral worldview of protecting the U.S. President from evil with Christian element of recognizing God as the builder of America & singing "Battle Hymn of Republic" & pagan elements of brothels & bars; 14 obscenities, 3 profanities & several racial slurs by villain against hero; lots of action violence including chases, fight scenes, evil man blows up buildings & trains, heroes fall into mud, villain falls to death (impact not shown), implied villain electrocution, slapping, threats with gun, & brief more intense violence where super-tank shoots many people dead & man is decapitated by a flying saw blade; depicted heavy kissing in hot tub (implying foreplay to fornication), some mild sexual humor & innuendo, man touches fake disguise breasts & jokes about touching "my breasts," cross-dressing for disguise purposes, implied prostitution with "entertainer" girls, image of bondage gear in brothel, lots of cleavage shots, upper male nudity, implied nudity of couple in hot tub, brief image of rear female nudity through hole in pajama bottoms; smoking cigars; alcohol use in bars; and, suggested bestiality in one brief incident set in a brothel.
If you like your sci-fi action, comedies, spy movies, and Westerns served up with ham and cheese, then THE WILD WILD WEST is for you. It has echoes of INSPECTOR GADGET, JAMES BOND, THE GREAT RACE (with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), and, of course, classic images of many a Western movie. Big, flamboyant, over the top, simply plotted, strong at the start and merely serviceable at the finish, this adaptation of the popular television series aims to please all members of the family, and barely makes it.
Will Smith (an actor who can seemingly do no wrong these day) plays James T. West, a government agent who shoots first, second, third, and then may ask a few questions later. He is partnered with another government agent Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline), a master of disguise and a brilliant inventor of gadgets large and small. Together, this water and oil personality mix is sent by President Ulysses S. Grant to track down the diabolical villain, Dr. Arliss Loveless (Kenneth Branagh). Loveless lost the bottom half of his body in the Civil war and personally travels in a motorized wheelchair. Like Artemus, he is a scientific wizard and has created a giant mechanical Tarantula which shoots fireballs down on the innocent.
West and Artemus take a souped-up train filled with exploding secret doors, exploding cue balls and other secret weapons designed by Artemus to search for their nemesis. Along the way, they stop by a party for VIPs and inadvertently pick up entertainer Rita Escobar (Selma Hayek), a woman with her own mission of finding her lost father. At the party, West is almost hanged and shot, while Artemus disguises as a mountain man in search of Loveless's whereabouts.
Encountering other challenges along the way such as fleeing from a flying, spinning sawblade and getting collared with huge magnets, the dynamic duo eventually meet up with Loveless in Utah. There, President Grant stages a ceremony for the linkage of two railroads and says, "May God continue unity in America." Loveless captures the President and demands he sign over the Louisiana Purchase to Loveless, so that Loveless can create his own nation. As the President stalls, West and Artemus dress up in drag, create a diversion, get into fights with the villain's henchmen, and create a splashy ruckus all aboard the giant metallic Tarantula which is heading toward a giant cliff.
Moral elements wearing the white hat in this movie are bravery, honoring and protecting the president, singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," respect for wits over might in victory over evil, and recognition of God in the building of America. Violence is also generally action oriented, and not bloody, and the cross-dressing is used for disguise and not as a result of perverted sexuality.
However, black hat elements arise in this family-oriented movie with the inclusion of prostitutes, some heavy kissing by our naked hero implying the start of fornication and some sexual humor such as a homosexual joke & a very veiled, subtle joke implying bestiality. Also, a few violent scenes occur which might scare little ones such as a man getting decapitated and a tank which singularly mows down around 100 men. Although bloodshed is little, these elements are directed for maximum scares.
Much ado is made about West being black. Naturally, it would be strange for a black man to be a government agent a few mere years after the Civil war. Most of the explanation seems natural and fits well into the context of the story, but some of it goes into mollycoddling the racially hypersensitive.
By now, many people have heard that this movie had a budget that went out of control, and that re-shoots and/or additional shoots were required. It was decided that more laughs were needed, and so the scene where West and Artemus try to remove their magnetic collars was created. Though having marginal laughs, it seems like a tacked-on moment. Other strange plot points or images crop up which indicate that the story was originally intended one way, but was edited to suggest another. These awkward moments will probably not matter to the children, but probably will be very obvious to most people.
THE WILD WILD WEST plays a lot like TWISTER. It is very splashy with lots of action and a good amount of humor, but its enjoyment lasts only as long as it is playing. In other words, THE WILD WILD WEST is quite forgettable. Yet, with the charismatic Will Smith, the hammy Kevin Kline in one of his better recent roles, lots of gadgets, splendid costumes, and a few interesting special effects, this trans-genre movie ranks as good as most summer popcorn movies, and will please those who wish to beat the summer heat. It doesn't have as much foul humor like the other PG-13 rated comedies this summer, and it does recognize God and heroism. It may not make as much, however, as expected because of the odd editing and mixed word of mouth.

If there are much more poor evaluations than excellent ones, after that it's time for you to withdraw and search for one more store to dispatch your vehicle to.
Yes. The price range of a store's services are usually based upon the shop's area and also the number of employees that they use. If the store lies on the outskirts of community, the possibility of a low cost variety is high.

There are some shops which overprice solutions the first time that you make inquiries in their store.

With this type of strategy, you would certainly know if the prices are the same or if there are some overpricing occurring.
When choosing a body store, don't go in with your pocketbook open. Ask some crucial questions such as does the shop offer a written warranty as well as if so, for just how long and also what does it cover?

We decided to have a make your own pizza girls night. Any time I've made pizza before, I just bought some premade dough from the grocery, but this time I wanted to give it a go myself. Turned out it's really easy to make! The original recipe says you can let it rise for only 30 min, so you'd be able to eat in about an hour, but I let mine rise over an hour just because I had that much time before going over to Melissa's house. Turned out light and the bottom was nice and crisp.
I actually made 2 doughs - a plain one and one with 1/2 tsp each of garlic powder and oregano. Once we covered the 2 half pizzas with some mushrooms, tomatoes, diced onions, and over a pound of cheese (seriously - 1 lb mozz and maybe a quarter cup of grated parm), you couldn't tell the difference in doughs. But I think the garlic/oregano one would be awesome on a white pizza or as breadsticks.
In a small bowl, dissolve the dry yeast into the water, and sprinkle 1 tsp white sugar on top. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes, or until foamy.
In a large bowl, combine the other tsp sugar, flour, salt, and olive oil. Pour in the yeast mixture and beat until a stiff dough has formed. I used my kitchen aid hand mixer with the dough attachments to make it super quick, then knead it 4 or 5 times until it was a soft, supple ball.
Take it out of the bowl long enough to coat the bowl with cooking spray, then drop the ball back in and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
Preheat oven to 400. If using a baking stone, put into oven to heat up for 15 min, too. Roll out dough into pizza shape of your choice. (I did this on granite and it didn't actually stick, but if you have a stickier dough just lightly flour the surface first.) Sprinkle some cornmeal on the surface to coat the bottom of the rolled out dough.
If using a cookie sheet, place on sheet. If using a baking stone, either use a pizza peel to slide the dough ontot it, or carefully take it out of oven and place the dough on it, then put back in. Don't burn yourself! Make sure to kind of press little dents all over the dough so the middle doesn't rise so much.
Prebake for about 10 min, then take out and top with your favorite toppings and continue to bake until cheese is bubbly and edges are golden, about 15-20 min.
