review by Chris Underwood
Double Indemnity 1944
Chris Underwood's review:
Near perfect and most enjoyable 'noir' with Barbara Stanwyck on top form. Fred MacMurray didn't seem to do much hard edged stuff like this and I've no idea why. His early scenes with Stanwyck when the Chandler script (after James M Cain) really sparkles are fantastic and if they wane there is soon the exchanges between him and Edward G. to take their place. Not that Stanwyck ever ceases to sizzle but the crackling and red hot dialogue does ease up. One of the great things about this site is that it encourages me to re-visit old favourites so I can write them up and bring them into my listed films. Great stuff!

Love this and the remake (Body Heat).
Now, that's a great idea, reckon I shall watch Body Heat again- thanks!
I liked this as well. The initial dialog was something else (the speeding exchange) and prompted me to read a little Hard-Boiled fiction, but the ending eased up on the hard edge and disappointed me a bit.
I think that's true but don't start me on the hard boiled fiction. I was led to the books and now have a massive collection of US forties and fifties paperbacks. Interesting how many of those writers adapted the work of others for the screen. The noir films can be great and are often good, the books are usually quite amazing.
Agreed! I remember seeing the "making of" documentary for this film... how Cain was busy with another ("Mildred Pierce" maybe), so Chandler stepped in. And how he and Billy Wilder got along... hehe
This film would not have been nearly as good without Chandler's rat-a-tat dialog, so its a good thing he got pulled in.
Absolutely, although I must say, taking advantage of some London sunshine this afternoon, I took the opportunity of reading the original Cain novella and it is remarkable how at least the first third is almost identical to the movie.

Property type | apartment |
Minimum Stay | nights |
Ideal as a City Break, this newly refurbished apartment offers stunning riverside views in a peaceful, central location. Two double bedrooms, bathroom, living/dining room and separate kitchen.
Situated in a newly refurbished mill, our 2-bedroom apartment is furnished to a high standard as a home from home, with light-oak furniture and fresh linen. It offers both comfort and convenience and an outlook directly onto the river so that you can just relax and watch the boats passing by and the tourists feeding the geese and swans.
Just a short walk (5 minutes) to the busy shops and historic city centre. Walk down the famous medieval street, 'The Shambles' leading to the magnificent cathedral, York Minster. Visit one of the many galleries and museums including the Jorvic Centre which provides a realistic and graphic experience of what life was like during the Viking occupation.
For a different view of the city, take a river cruise or dare yourself to join the nightly Ghost Walk (suitable for children) and learn some of the grizzly secrets of York's past.
Enjoy an evening out dining at one of the many excellent restaurants or have a pint of beer in an Olde English pub and then dance the night away at a Nightclub. There are Theatres, an Opera House and a specialist Film Theatre with programmes to suit all tastes.
Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool and even London are all reachable within a day by train. The seaside town of Scarborough is reachable in under an hour.
Unfortunately there is no on-site car-parking at the apartment but free overnight parking is available from 6pm to 8am on the riverside beneath the apartment windows (please observe the strict times). Daytime parking is possible on the neighbouring streets but there is a fee for this. Free on-street parking is possible a short distance away but this would involve a walk of about 15 minutes back to the apartment. There are, however, two bicycles available for your use, as there are pleasant cycle paths alongside the river.
York Opera House, providing a varied programme to suit all tastes, is directly opposite the apartment on the other side of the river.
River cruises leave regularly from the quayside across the river.
Historic walks and talks as well as several museums and galleries.
Walk along the walls that surround the old city of York and enjoy the spectacular views.
Popular clubs and pubs are just a short walk away.
Many restaurants to choose from.
3-screen cinema showing a variety of films ranging from the latest releases to specialist independent productions.
Cycle pathways around the city and along the river (2 bicycles available).
At least five golf courses to play (transport required to get there).

Accessories and Documentation
While all of the hardware ships inside of one box, there is a lot of it, so I broke it up to make it easier to discuss. At the top you are given the cross bar to mount the cooler, and to its right are four rubber caps to use with the back plate to keep the screws in place. Moving down they also supply a syringe of thermal grease, and you will see the Intel top brackets on either side of the universal back plate. Off to the right, we have the four black plastic spacers, the four screws to use with the back plate, and the four thumbscrews for use over the top mounting brackets.
The rest of the hardware includes the eight wire fan clips on the left side and the metal case badge with the GamerStorm logo on it. In the middle, there is a bag with the LGA2011 screws, another bag with the AMD mounting kit, and even another bag with LGA775 parts. You are also given a Molex to four pin fan adapter to deliver 12V to these fans at all times if you wish, and there is also a Y-splitter provided for those who don't have dual CPU fan headers on their motherboards.
I also wanted to show both of the fans outside of the cooler. The center hub on both fans is chromed and offers the company logo in them. Around that both fans offer nine green blades to move the air, and again, both frames are black, but coated to keep any hard plastic from chafing against the fins.
Folded up and stuck inside of the hardware box is where you can locate the manual. It is slightly larger than the box, so even if the hardware slides out, this will tend to stay in the box.
Inside of the manual, once it is all unfolded, it starts off with a parts list so that you know you have everything you need before getting started. At the bottom, they offer AMD mounting being done in three easy steps, with clear illustrations to help guide you.
On the other side you will find separate instruction for the Intel LGA 2011 and the rest of Intel's offerings. Since both AMD and Intel setups are similar in the way they work, you use the same three step guide, just be sure to pay attention to the parts you use.

Fahrenheit, Daniel (Gabriel)
Fahrenheit, Daniel (Gabriel)
biographical name(born May 24, 1686, Gdansk, Pol.died Sept. 16, 1736, The Hague, Dutch Republic) German physicist and instrument maker. He spent most of his life in the Netherlands, where he devoted himself to the study of physics and the manufacture of precision meteorological instruments. He is best known for inventing a successful alcohol thermometer (1709) and mercury thermometer (1714) and for developing the Fahrenheit temperature scale, setting zero at the freezing point of an equal mixture of ice and salt. He discovered that water can remain liquid below its freezing point and that the boiling point of liquids varies with atmospheric pressure.

WHITEFISH - The Whitefish City Council is discussing options for a site for a new cemetery. The city bought Armory Park in the late 1950s with the original intent of developing it as a cemetery.
During a Tuesday work session, council members will look over findings of a study that shows the ground water levels in Armory Park are too high to be a cemetery.
The study found the minimum depth for no ground water to prevent pollution was nine feet.
The city council also plans on discussing free market models for cemeteries from other cities and a possible budget for another municipal cemetery during Tuesday's session.

Gameplay: the Missing Ingredient In Most Games
Re:Difficult (308 comments)
It's funny that you spoke of Tomb Raider. The original Tomb Raider games were challenging (even the first one, which is probably the easiest of the 3). The first level of Tomb Raider 2 pretty much started where the final level of the first game left off difficulty wise. There was no mandatory tutorial. "Press alt to jump. Press control to grab." If you wanted to learn the game, you loaded the training level and looked in the manual. And Tomb Raider 3. Most people think that one was just too fucking hard.
If you compare Tomb Raider to it's remake 11 years later, you can tell just how easy games got. Take the T-Rex encounter as an example. In the first game, it was a real boss fight. In the remake, it was a quick time event. Lame. I think that most of the boss battles in that game were quick time events (I never finished the game, so I don't know for sure).

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Katie!
Facts about Katie
- Breed: Silky Terrier Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Katie's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Katie came to Good Karma after being found as a stray and living at the pound. When we rescued her, she was very scared. We took her to the vet and after she had her teeth and ears cleaned, she was a brand new girl! Katie is spunky and sweet. She loves other dogs and loves her toys! (a toy box full of toys is a must for this girl) She is very playful! She even wants to play with the cat. When all of her antics have tired her out she loves to snuggle in as close as she can and cuddle the evening away. She is the sweetest little sassy pants with a heart of pure gold! She is also a no/low shed breed but will require regular grooming. She enjoys being brushed. Who is going to be the lucky one that adds Katie Karma to their family???
Katie's adoption fee is $450, which includes all age-appropriate vaccinations, spay, and microchip! Please visit www.goodkarmamn.org to fill out an adoption application.
Once you fill out our adoption application, an awesome representative of Good Karma will contact you to answer any questions you may have and set up a time for you to meet Katie! Good Karma Animal Rescue's approval process includes conducting a home visit before adopters take their new pet home.
Other Pets at Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Katie, a Maple Grove Silky Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Silky Terrier for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Silky Terrier dog from a breeder in Maple Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Maple Grove already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Maple Grove breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Silky Terrier breeders who help with Silky Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Maple Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

History of Dutch Days
The first weekend in May the residents of Fulton celebrate their Dutch heritage.The first permanent Dutch settler arrived at what was to become the City of Fulton in 1835.
It has never been explained why so many Holland immigrants were attracted to this small Midwestern area. The Dutch came in small numbers at first. In 1872 there were only 59 families. This grew to 198 families in only 19 years. Nearly all of these immigrants were members of the Dutch Reformed Church. The editorial comment at the time was that they made industrious, law-abiding citizens. An unknown local reporter wrote: "Their great fortune then was that they were all about evenly poor." The number of immigrants decreased gradually until after World War II when a small number of families came over.
In1974 the Community Christian School Auxiliary organized the first authentic Dutch Dinner. From this, the entire festival has developed.

SEO is never going to be a prescriptive 'one approach suits all' solution. The days of a handful of specific tasks delivering a certain degree of almost guaranteed return are long behind us – and believe it or not this is a good thing!
So, what does work in organic search? And how can you deliver results from SEO in 2014?
Search marketing for SEO
I did a post on this very topic at the end of 2013 called 'search marketing vs search manipulation'. It's worth a look, even if I do say so myself.
Assuming you don't have the time to read this previous post, at the top level you need to be thinking about SEO differently. The mind-set of generating results by manipulating the search results will only lead you towards SEO tactics that will either have very short-term success (often resulting in long-term resolution strategies post penalties) or will simply fail to have any impact at all.
As long as SEO has been around, so too have phrases like 'content is king' (and its variations), which over the past few years can accumulatively been coined 'content marketing'. Having the privilege to work for a company known for pioneering approaches to SEO, our content driven SEO had for some time been at the forefront of the drive towards content marketing for natural search.
To make this simple – content is central to your SEO success and arguably always has been.
Technical SEO still works. Fact
Please do not include spam activities like using the meta keyword tag and stuffing search terms into it. There is a big difference between professional technical SEO and manipulative technical SEO.
Here are some practical technical SEO tips. There are so many examples that I tried to add in a good mix but the more you delve into technical SEO the more you will discover:
– Page title tags can assist in average ranks for pages
– Meta descriptions for organic adverts can improve click through rates and turn visibility into visits
– Header (H tags) should be used stylistically and structurally to add value to the understanding of core topics contained within a single page. Also, they act as a method for making pages easier to read, parse and interpret
– Image optimisation can add great additional areas of visibility and impact to a campaign
– Page speed enhancements will assist site crawling, indexation and the user experience
– Correct implementation of robots.txt file, xml sitemaps and regular attention to HTML improvement areas will assist value attribution to correct pages, quicker page indexing and provide higher perceived quality signals
– Google loves and needs structured data – the more information you can provide it to enhance its understand of the relationship between content and meaning/context the better
It's all about the user
One of the biggest problems with SEO historically (and still something that taints the industry because some people just cannot move away from it) is that SEO is all about keywords.
This relentless focus on keywords has led to the link penalties about which people so frequently complain. It has led to the deprecation of once useful tags which had an intention of good but were spammed to an early grave. Plus, it has led to the removal of huge volumes of keyword data, which has since been largely taken away from us.
Keywords should have always been seen as secondary to the user – in many instances keywords have been, and by some, probably still are seen as the goal; this is just wrong.
People often forget that in almost every instance they are a user as well as a provider.
I get as frustrated as the next person when I have to keep drilling down into search results to find what I wanted (due in the main to artificially inflated ranking sites that have yet to be impacted by Penguin, Panda or manual penalties) and I can only assume that the frustrations of less savvy search engine users must sometime be exponentially greater.
When looking at how you can add value I hope this post can help.
What else can you do to make SEO work?
This question for me is as open as 'what else can I do to add value'?
I will give you some more practical advice though. Think about:
– Trust signals – proper trust signals from real people: social media, reviews, industry bodies, affiliations and more
– Thought leadership – if you want to be the voice that people hear in the crowd (or see in the crowded SERPs) you need to be saying something unique, valuable and authoritative. Who listens to the guy at the party that just repeats what everyone else says?
– The user – their demographics; what the data tells you they want and how you can service them better. This can include the devices they use, the questions they have, the stage in the buying process they are at and so much more
– Spoken language and context – if you think the success or failure of your search marketing relies on a handful of key terms you need to start looking at bigger data sets. Search queries all have intent, meaning and context, discovering this will lead you towards a brighter search path in 2014

Refrigerators and Microfridges
Only one refrigerator or one microfidge is allowed per bedroom (you may not have a refrigerator and a microfridge). If you choose to bring a refrigerator or microfridge, be advised that you must show documentation that it meets the specific power, size, and electrical operating specifications set by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety which are summarized in the adjacent "Specifications and Restrictions" column.
Residents often find it more convenient to rent a refrigerator or microfridge from the Refrigerator Leasing Company. The company delivers to and picks up from campus as part of their service. It is a certain way to be sure that your refrigerator or microfridge meets Ithaca College's size and electrical standards.
Any damage to the residence hall or its furnishings resulting from a refrigerator or microfridge will be billed to the student(s) responsible for the appliance.

Not so great. Not saucy enough and sauce was not flavorful and thick enough. Used fresh tri-color pearl onions...and sour cream. Bland!
These were so yummy, and easy to make also. I used the frozen onions, and the whole milk. Will definitely be making this again!
This is an easy and great recipe that we loved for Thanksgiving this year. Definitely use the frozen onions and hide them once they're caramelized - we couldn't stop eating them! I'd also recommend caramelizing the onions in a nonstick pan if you have one. Surprisingly, I sticked to the recipe for the most part, except we had some duck fat from our turkey leg confit and I used that instead of the butter to make the roux for the bechamel. Shhhh... And loved it with the creme fraiche!

PHOENIX - A unanimous Arizona Supreme Court ruling upholds the murder convictions and death sentences of a former border activist for the killings of a man and his 9-year-old daughter during a 2009 home invasion.
Shawna Forde was convicted in 2011 of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of 29-year-old Raul Flores and Brisenia Flores in Arivaca in southern Arizona.
Authorities said Forde had planned the invasion and robbery of the Flores home which she believed contained drugs, weapons and money were stashed. The Supreme Court's ruling refers to Raul Flores as a reputed drug dealer.
Prosecutors said Forde intended to use the proceeds of the home invasion to fund a border-watch group.
Forde also received various prison terms on other convictions, including one for attempted first-degree murder of Flores' wife.

DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
A DSP is a microprocessor designed to work with analog signals such as video or audio that have been digitally encoded. The DSP then takes these digital representations and performs operations on them. DSPs are used in video, sound, and modem technology. Intel's MMX instruction set was the first attempt to make x86 processors (specifically the Pentium processor line) more capable of DSP operations. This follows Intel's theory of putting all the processor work onto its processors. However, DSP chips are still used in many devices for PCs, as they can keep the CPU from being bogged down.

Israel (26)
Real time food
'Let's Pizza' is a vending machine that's no ordinary vending machine. It does not sell pre-packaged, ready-to-eat foods.
Why it matters
The machine mixes the flour, eggs and water on the spot, adds the sauce and toppings (there are 4 different choices so far) and creates a fresh pizza in les than 3 minutes.
Giving consumers face time
Throughout the summer, Coca-Cola hosted a range of activities bringing teenagers together across Israel. To ensure that these events and activities could be shared across the users' social networks, they introduced FaceLook, an app based on Face.com that uses facial recognition technology to create Facebook posts. Users can post comments and pictures to their Facebook wall using only their face as identification.
The teenagers had to register to the events through Facebook where they could opt in to the app. Once at the venues, they were able to activate Facebook posts just by looking at the FaceLook machine. The application identified the user and posted automatic comments relating to nearby activities.
Why it matters
So much has been said about blending the offline and online worlds together. How can brands better cater to serving consumers existing behaviour by making it a seamless part of a brand experience?

Wrigley's 5 Gum 'The Nightjar' App
'The Nightjar' is a revolutionary audio iPhone App created for Wrigley's 5 chewing gum. It's a game with no video only sound. It takes users on a journey of discovery with only their ears to guide them out alive. It is a unique and immersive way for consumers to engage with the Wrigley's brand and explore their senses like never before.
Why it matters
We mostly rely on video to provide experiences, forgetting that sound on its own (and the deprivation of video) can be just as powerful. How could advertisers create innovative experiences by depriving people of the sense they would expect most?

My players have all 5th rank by now. The team consists of a horrible psyker that can solo anyone with a firestorm and heals every single squad member, a metllican gunslinger with two tranters with hack shotguns, encarmine smg and a bolt pistol, and arbites who's a jack of all trades, he's the ebst melee fighter, a tech priest with a forest of mechadendrites and two "flesh is weak" traits, a shooty scum with armageddon autogun and an assassin who mainly runs away (he's an npc).
So here's the deal. Right now they've killed almost everything I threw at them without much fuss. The only problem were the Slaught from the "Maggots in the meat" adventure. Altough some fate points have been burned, right now I have a feeling that these guys can kill every single thing that moves. For example the scum dealt about 50 damage with pen 2 to a golem-type guy, that they fought at the end of the "The Patchwork Man", and the psyker killed 5 guys with a single firestorm. You see where this is going? I have no idea how should I scale the enemies for them right now. The ones in the adventures are simply too weak. Either they have crappy armour, crappy weapons (primitive), pathetic stats or a combination of all! I'm afraid that future adventures and campaigns will have no pression, no danger at all!
I know what you are going to say: simply throw stronger enemies at them. Ok, that's true. But how much stronger? I don't want to kill them all during their next engagament, in the first round. On the other hand I know that I really need to arm their enemies better and to give them better stats, but I'm also worried that my players will suddendly have an influx of awesome weapons and armour, which they'll be scavenging from the dead, and I don't really want that. They are rich enough as it is already, and I shiver to think that they'll suddendly start running with hellguns and wearing full carpace armour (the psyker already has one).
That's why I'm asking you guys for help. What do you think their enemies stats, weapons, gear, numbers etc. should be? Can you post some stats, ideas for baddies, along with their gear?
So far my PC's are all on 1 FP with the exception of the assassin (he's new and has 4 FP) and Techpriest (he has 0 FP). I know that's not much, but honestly, they are statistically killing 1-3 enemy NPC's during a round and I'm afraid it'll get worse. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

I am looking at a house that is beautifully finished and is a great investment (separate rental home on site). I think it is not selling because of the unusual layout. It is a very large home in sq footage but has a non traditional layout. It has these 2 living areas but no formal DR. The 2 story area is 23x14 and the other wood room is 21x13. The wood room is directly across from the kitchen. The kitchen has a large 12x16 casual eating area but my husband would also like a formal DR using the set we own (pictured). We use the DR for Easter, Thanksgiving and when we have a meal for more than 4 adults which might be another 2-4 times a year. So in these 2 large living areas I would like to have a casual TV family room and formal dining room. Somewhere I would also need a desk/office/homework space. Where would you put the formal DR set? Where would you make your main living area? |
Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures of house to decorate
Follow-Up Postings:
Lovely house with so many possibilities. I think using the wood room is the wisest choice as it abuts the kitchen which makes it handy yet large enough for a group sitting. Most would prefer the larger room for the living room family space. What a luxury to have an older home with lots of space. |

For the eleventy-billionth time, Jerry Abramson is meeting with Barack Obama in Washington D.C. to talk about things like job creation, fat kids and potentially why Harry Reid is so full of racism. Under the purview of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, here's a glimpse at Jerry's three-day itinerary.
Part of the White House discussion will include the results of the small business leaders' round-table meeting that Abramson held last month at the request of President Obama. About 20 local business owners contributed ideas for creating jobs and stimulating the economy.
Abramson, who created the Mayor's Healthy Hometown initiative in Louisville, is one a handful of mayors who will meet with First Lady Michelle Obama to discuss efforts to fight childhood obesity. Mrs. Obama is leading her own initiative to combat childhood obesity and asked leaders with successful healthy-lifestyle programs to share their ideas.
Abramson will attend meetings with several Cabinet secretaries and Senate leadership including Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, Education Secretary Arne Duncan, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan and Senate Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid.
But what is there to talk about, really? By 2015, we'll all of us be wearing gold diapers in our flying carbon-neutral cars to the downtown arena to watch the Cards win their fourth consecutive NCAA championship of the new millennium. Right?

Australia is vast: grandly, imposingly, continentally vast. That should be no surprise to anyone who has ever spun a globe, but it never hit home for me until I crossed it from ocean to ocean and back again, flying and driving nearly 6,000 miles in search of the best wines and most interesting wine regions the country offers.
The well-trod paths lead to the Barossa, Hunter, and Clare Valleys, but Australia's wine-producing areas are incredibly varied—which makes sense when you realize that the whole of Western Europe's viticultural landscape, from Crete to Champagne, could fit inside it. Looking back now, my most memorable experiences were in remote but accessible corners, where the scale is too modest for tour buses. I met winemakers in wet suits riding waves off Margaret River's Prevelly Beach, ate kangaroo steak at McLaren Vale's raucous Victory Hotel, and sipped Darjeeling at Yarra Valley's Giant Steps, a winery that serves as its town's community center. I drank wines that rivaled the world's best, and ate meals to match.
The regions I've uncovered range from dry to lush to beachfront. In them I found winemakers with oversize personalities eager to show me their vineyards—and have me try wines I'd never find anywhere else. If you're in Perth, Adelaide, or Melbourne, these make perfect side trips and are certainly worthy destinations on their own. Read on to learn about the best of Australia—uncorked.
Margaret River: Surf 'n' Turf
Margaret River is a surf town, Venice Beach without the silicone. Its one-street commercial district, at the far end of a deliriously dull 170-mile drive from Perth, in Australia's southwestern corner, features shops with mildly offensive names like Wet Dreams and other manifestations of surfing culture. But woven into this Beach Boys song is a thriving wine scene. Leaving Prevelly one day, I spotted a van advertising Wine for Dudes, a local tour company that seemed to epitomize the place. "A lot of people in the industry surf," says Nigel Harvey, who cooks sophisticated meals at the Restaurant at Voyager Estate, a Cape Dutch mansion of a winery by the Indian Ocean. "Then they come to work and create this amazing stuff."
It took me about five minutes in Margaret River to realize that I'd never seen a wine region like it. I could spend the morning tasting and the afternoon lolling at the beach, and I had no shortage of enticing restaurants to visit at night. But what makes this thin stretch of coastline a mandatory destination is the wines themselves, Chardonnays and Rieslings but also cool-weather Cabernets. As it turns out, many of the same climatological elements that make for good surfing—brisk ocean breezes; a mild climate—and the silty soil that comes with any oceanfront create wines that are measured, minerally, and packed with complex flavors.
Back in 1965, an agronomist concluded that Margaret River's struggling dairy farms might actually be sitting on the country's finest land for wine grapes. The locals took him at his word and established an industry. "They used to say, 'Why are those funny people putting sticks in the ground?'" says Cullen Wines Estate's winemaker and managing director Vanya Cullen, whose parents founded the property in 1971. These days, the winery's top releases are world-class, particularly the vibrant Diana Madeline Cabernet-based blend. When I tasted several at the estate's friendly, folksy tasting room with Cullen—who now makes wine biodynamically, gauging the progress of the grapes by the schedule of the tides—I recognized the flavors of black olive and forest floor that almost always lead to the Old World, but a rush of bright fruit brought me right back to Australia.
Then I went to Leeuwin Estate, which has an entirely different feel. Owner Denis Horgan arrived from Perth in the mid 1950's to surf. He invested in land, and set down roots with Robert Mondavi as his mentor. I'd drunk his sleek and lemony Chardonnays, which have been called Australia's best. But I wasn't prepared for the winery, which reminded me of a modern country house, albeit a vast one; it overlooked a bright green lawn used for cricket matches and concerts by the likes of Ray Charles, Julio Iglesias, and the London Philharmonic. Or for the gallery, which houses some 100 paintings and sculptures—many by famous Australian artists—that have appeared on Leeuwin's Art Series wines since 1980. Or the lunch—briny local oysters, a parfait of foie gras and quail egg, kingfish sashimi, then French and Australian cheeses—that was served to me on the winery's terrace.
My dinner at an outdoor pedestrian mall in Dunsborough, a half-hour to the north, had a more intellectual appeal. Food Farmacy's Simon Beaton announces his iconoclastic approach to life by wearing a single long sideburn down his boyish face. He favors main ingredients made in multiple versions, such as "scallops five ways" and "venison fillet, venison liver, venison sausage." Far from gimmicks, these are as intricate as Brueghels, tiny masterpieces in which each element has been painstakingly rendered. That night, I returned to Margaret River's Constellation Apartments: twin penthouses with huge terraces, iPod docks, gas fireplaces, and kitchens stocked with Calphalon pots, Riedel glasses, even an array of local wines, including the delicate Vasse Felix Chardonnay I drank with the omelette I made the next morning.
Later, I spent a night in Yallingup at a wellness retreat surrounded by old-growth jarrah trees. Words like vortex and nourishing were used unabashedly, and a cultural custodian of the Wardandi Tribe was available to perform a didgeridoo meditation. In the morning, I headed out for a swim. The ocean conditions weren't surfing-worthy, alas, but driving back to my hotel I felt like a local: relaxed, refreshed, and ready to report to work and make wine.

I got into gun law entirely by accident. One October afternoon in 2009 I happened to be in a gun shop and heard another customer say "blah, blah, blah, GUN TRUST." I write trusts every day for law firm clients, but I'm also an author of trust drafting software distributed to attorneys nationally so this caught my attention!
"What's a gun trust?" I asked. The customer said "It's just a normal living trust I'm using to purchase a silencer. With a trust you don't have to get the Sheriff to sign off on the purchase."
I've practiced estate-planning law since 1988. Iserved as an Army officer (Infantry, Airborne Ranger), am a 2nd Amendment supporter and a target shooter, so I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about gun subjects. Even with this background I had never heard of gun trusts, and, surprisingly, I never really thought about the transfer of guns as being something noteworthy at all. I didn't know that what I considered innocent transfers of firearms could actually be "accidental" felonies. Guns, to me, were similar to coin collections, tools or other items of tangible personal property people tend to acquire over time. It was all just "stuff."
Well, now I know that the transfer of any firearm can be a crime … depending on how it's done, where it's done, who the parties are and what the category or type of firearm is under state or federal law or both. Worse, the word "transfer" has inexact meaning depending on the law that controls.
I began researching the laws surrounding gun ownership and realized just how wonky and confusing they are. Federal firearms law has evolved over the last several decades. Today's two primary statutory constructs were enacted in different era, but are now entwined in "the Gun Control Act". The "Gun Control Act of 1968" ("GCA") and the "National Firearms Act of 1934" ("NFA") are now Titles I and II of the new and improved (current) "Gun Control Act of 1968" respectively.
The original "Gun Control Act" is now retitled as "State Firearms Control Assistance" and is Title I of the current Gun Control Act. It generally regulates firearms in interstate commerce and establishes a regime for licensing dealers, manufacturers etc. The original National Firearms Act of 1934 was added to the current Gun Control Act of 1968 and is Title II, retaining "National Firearms Act of 1934 as its title. Title II regulates six categories of firearms under the National Firearms Act (NFA), passed in 1934. These six categories are: machine guns, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers (suppressors), destructive devices and "any other weapons" or AOWs. NFA firearms must be registered in the federal system with a tax stamp issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) prior to a purchaser taking possession.
The Gun Control Act and its two titles interacts with state law. For example, under the GCA each State may regulated licensing of firearms and firearms dealers. Under the NFA, each State can restrict which of the six NFA firearms can be possessed within its borders. A person might own something in one state and be unable to relocate it to a new state following a move.
NFA firearms are the ones that have created so much demand for gun trusts or other entities, like corporations or LLCs to acquire them. Simply put, using an entity makes it easier to transfer NFA firearms.
To purchase an NFA firearm permitted within the state, a tax stamp issued by BATFE is required. An individual must first submit an application through the local Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) - usually the Sheriff, before sending it to the BATFE. Most gun owners elect to avoid the "CLEO sign-off" by purchasing NFA Firearms through a legal entity, such as a corporation, LLC or trust.
While this all seems pretty straightforward, there are hidden dangers, as most gun owners don't know what's at stake should this be done incorrectly. It's made far worse by the ease of creating forms online for free or with a generic document having no awareness of these potential disasters than can occur. The choice of entity is a critical decision and one that many gun owners make without clearly understanding how each works. Setting up an entity doesn't mean that it is operated in a compliant fashion.
My initial encounter with the concept of a "gun trust" also led me to examine the legal issues surrounding the inheritance of firearms. I looked at ways to own federally regulated firearms during life and how to "share" them without committing an unlawful transfer. After a little more digging, I came across two or three articles written about the transfer of guns in estates and how this act of love can turn into a nightmare. You see, some people can't own any gun under state or federal law or both, some guns can't be owned by anyone at all and some guns can be owned in one place, but not another. A person administering the estate, conducting the transfer or even innocently sharing at a range can all accidentally commit a felony by doing so! Unfortunately, accidental or not, in some cases, the price is the same as if the person broke the law on purpose.
This motivated me as a gun owner and as a planning attorney to take action. I focused on my belief that every armed citizen should own the right gear and train with it to be competent, but that each of us must also understand the laws of possession and transfer as well.
The first two of these are taken care of by careful selection of products and trainers, albeit that employing guns within the law can be really tricky. Beyond the "shoot/don't shoot conundrum that self-defense oriented gun owners face, there is even more risk, largely hidden. It dawned on me that if all the aspects of possessing firearms and transferring them is a confusing issue for me, a veteran and seasoned attorney, then these issues must be important to every gun owner.
The mere fact of owning a gun is not the real issue. Understanding the nuances of possession and transfer laws which are broad concepts in gun law are. Possession can be actual (in my pocket or hand) or constructive (I have access) and these concepts are critical. Sharing is a transfer… access may be a transfer… not just the common examples such as selling a gun or leaving one to someone in a Will. . Most gun owners and attorneys seem largely unaware of these issues, how they create danger or what to do about them. A gun shop owner actually tried to "school" me, saying that a simple corporation, LLC or any old living trust would do the trick. Well, knowing what I know about these types of entities and how they work, this is just not right and is not the whole story. It's not just form… to be protected there must be substance.
It's true that any valid state law trust could function so as to own one or more guns. Unfortunately, most trusts I review intended to own guns, often provided by gun shops or downloaded from the Internet, are not valid under state law. Even if they are, the word "gun" or any mention of gun laws is conspicuously absent which certainly creates risk for the unwary
Generically, a revocable living trust is a written agreement that you write, you administer and that you can change when you want. But, what would make this kind of trust into a gun trust? Well, since firearms are not like stock certificates or land, the trust should contain purpose-built language. Possessing or transferring a gun illegally makes that gun dangerous without even being fired! Anybody can safely possess or transfer a stock certificate, even a minor, but this may not be true or may not be the wise thing to do when a gun is involved.
Most of us want a gun trust just to more easily acquire an NFA item. But, every trust is an estate planning document. Upon death or incapacity, friends, family and even the Court will look to the provisions in the trust document in order to transfer firearms. Shouldn't it work correctly?
Remember – the main legal issue gun owners have to be concerned about here involves one word … "transfer." The word "transfer" may mean different things at different times and under different state or federal laws. Essentially, "transfer" means to sell, gift, bequeath, lease, loan, share or even allow access to a firearm, depending on the context and law involved. The vagueness of this word has the potential to cause complicated legal problems.
To begin with, possession of a firearm by a "prohibited person," as defined under local, state or federal law may be a problem, but to possess a thing it has to come into someone's hands first. This is why the transfer itself is the sticking point that can lead to an "accidental" felony. Some transfer crimes have little to do with guilty intent. For example, possessing an illegal firearm without knowing it is illegal may be enough… and certainly is the minute you learn it is illegal. At that moment all the elements of criminal possession are met… Catch 22!
Any "conventional" living trust, i.e. of the type commonly drafted and usually prepared by an experienced estate-planning attorney, almost universally fails to even have the word "firearm" or "gun" in it. A conventional trust is extremely unlikely to address the peculiarities of state or federal firearms law, especially the National Firearms Act of 1934 and/or the Gun Control Act of 1968 that regulate firearms ownership and transfer.
The best and safest "gun trusts" are limited in scope. They're purpose-built living trusts drafted with the intent to help gun owners possess, share and gift their gun collection, big or small, with clear guidance about avoiding the commission of a felony by the gun owner or anybody else involved in the enjoyment of trust property.
When in the market for a gun trust, gun owners should be looking for one that is gun-centric, and purpose-built to acquire, possess, and transfer guns and related accessories. A real gun trust is a document that serves equally as an estate plan and as a guidebook to owning and possessing firearms safely. If healthy, the gun owner creates and runs the trust. He or she controls who gets to use trust property, i.e. the firearms it owns. But, upon becoming legally incapacitated or upon death, the gun trust provides written instructions about dealing with trust firearms in such a way that an illegal transfer will not occur.
Gun owners really need to ask – who takes charge of my gun collection if I am out of the picture? Does a spouse, friend, sibling or parent know anything about gun transfers, the value of the collection (potentially significant), or that the little cylinder in the gun safe (silencer) is federally regulated and requires permission from ATF to transfer before anybody else takes possession?
It's smart to take some time and do it right. The consequences of failure are just too severe. Avoiding the chance of becoming an "accidental" felon seems like a great idea and part and parcel of protecting one's freedom, safety, security and peace of mind.

Matching your interests, skills, and talents with a non-partisan mission for open and representative government is a recipe for service of the highest order and satisfaction for your heart! It is a two-way process and everybody wins!
From its inception in 1920, when women finally won the right to vote, the League has stood on principles that supported their initial drive:
What renders the League a model for democracy-in-action is that it has a NON-PARTISAN approach for informing and educating the public, performing studies of issues ("action without study is fatal"), developing positions by consensus, and promoting advocacy and action on those positions. People from all parties join the League and learn that "truth is not won by a majority". They set aside partisanship in favor of critical thinking and discover the excitement of consensus from a well thought out study and conclusion that serves an inclusive democracy. Please read the enclosed sheet on LWVHC Committees, Activities, and Contacts to view some of our current work.

How much is a Sno-Park permit?
Between November 1st and April 30th cars parked in designated "winter recreation parking areas" are required to have a sno-park permit visible in the windshield.
Oregon sno-park programs are funded entirely by these sno-park permits.
They are currently $3.0 for a 1-day pass and $7.50 for a 3-day pass at our resort.
