Lisa Strauss - Headland House purchased this estate in 2007
A few highlights. Awesome Marine Views because we sit out on a point. End of the road privacy. Main house has three king size beds making this property really ideal for a couples retreat.
Headland House sits at the end of a point which is why the home has spectacular views. One of the nicest features of the property is that the main house and guest house face in opposite directions and have parking at both locations so each home has really nice privacy.
The house was beautiful, the views were amazing, and the kitchen was better stocked than our own! (which is saying something!) Not only was it a truly gourmet kitchen, which is rare to find in a vacation rental, but they also provided fun amenities such as donut mix and pancake/waffle mix - with the appliances to make them, of course! My husband LOVED the 105" projection TV with surround sound, especially for Thursday night football. I believe he called it a "mangasm". :) We enjoyed breakfast and dinner seated at the outdoor dining area most days, and got to relax in the hot tub in the evenings. I also tremendously enjoyed the soaking tub in the master suite bathroom. All in all, it was a perfect getaway. We definitely plan on going back, next time with friends so we can fully enjoy the entire property, including the game room with the pool table and margarita machine!
Date of Stay: 9/29 - 10/3/14
Original Review posted on Trip Advisor
I stayed at the guesthouse in November. I came to Orcas Island to get away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for a few days. What a wonderful, peaceful oasis with the most amazing views! This place is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of wildlife all around (I think I saw about 5 deer during my two day stay).
The owners are very meticulous about their rental and rightly so. Everything is neat and clean and the thought they put into the guesthouse is evident. I really appreciated every detail they thought of. It was such a luxurious space and I really couldn't believe I had the luck to come across this fabulous rental!
I'm really looking forward to coming back here soon. Orcas Island is truly a magical place.
This was by far the nicest house we have stayed at and we do about 7 to 10 trips like this a year. From the view to the hotubs and the secluded location, we couldn't have hand picked a more perfect place for our family to spend Christmas. Can't wait to book it again come summer time. Everything in the house is labeled so you know how to use things you might have zero experience with as well as able to put and get things with the greatest of ease. Thank you so much, you'll be seeing us soon
Everyone was impressed with the beautiful décor and thoughtful amenities in this lovely home. I must admit we were a little overwhelmed with the notebooks of rules and directions for everything you can imagine, but we appreciated the detailed instructions and expectations outlined for us. The owners were quick to make amends for a slight misunderstanding about our desired use of the sofa bed in the lower master bedroom and it was so nice to meet them personally when they came by Friday night. The home is spacious and the view is spectacular and serene. I especially enjoyed late nights sitting on the deck watching the clouds move over the water. I haven't heard quiet like that in years. I wish we had known to reserve the firewood ahead of time so we could have enjoyed a fire in the fireplace, but we survived without it and entertained ourselves just fine. Thank you for a memorable experience!
Our stay for our one year anniversary was fabulous! The owners left us a bottle of wine as a gift and the place was immaculate, quite like a hotel! We could tell the owners were 100% professional. The bed was almost too comfy as I never wanted to get out of it. The amenities were more than we could have ever asked for! A large variety of pancake mixes, cupcake maker, all bath supplies included and much more! We will definitely be back in the summer with the kids. Thank you for making our little weekend amazing!
I booked the owners Montana home a few years ago and as so impressed with the stay that I checked out where their other homes were located for my annual photography trip. This was my first trip to Orcas Island and Headland House was the perfect choice another home with phenomenal water views. Richard the owner was so accommodating he even left his personal telescope out for me to use during the stay. The house was every bit as nice as their Montana home; these owners know how to pick houses with amazing water views. The house was immaculately clean and smelled so fresh which was a concern, as I normally do not rent homes that allow pets. Very large and spacious home but still cozy and comfortable for just one person. Interior design was done in good taste obviously done by a professional. Enjoyed taking long walks around the property and followed the patch down to the beach. Hiked up to Mt. Constitution, was fortunate it was a clear day for some great photo shots. Visited the town of Eastsound, quaint town with some really nice galleries and interesting shops, picked up a gift for my sister at the Salish Sea gift store. My stay went by way too fast, not enough time to take in everything there is to do on the island. Definitely coming back to explore more of what the San Juan islands and these owners homes will be first on my list.
The first surprises upon encountering Headland House are the seclusion and exterior layout of the home. The owners/builders did an exceptional job fitting the beautiful home into its surroundings. Once inside, Headland House is really luxurious and a great place for anyone who needs to "get away" from it all! The moment we walked in we were totally taken back by the ocean views, pictures just do not capture how expansive and delightful these marine views are. It was obvious, from the views to the rear of the home, that it is very secluded and surrounded by beautiful scenery in all directions. Another thing that pleased us was, the house is actually much closer to the water but sitting high enough up, that you can see straight down the channel, so we felt like we had paid for a ring side seat. Being a private pilot, the Beaver float planes coming in and out of Deer Harbor marina were a highlight of the trip. They are close enough to enjoy but far enough away to not be intrusive. The interior décor is well thought out and very pleasing. These owners have thought of everything. It has the best stocked kitchen we had ever seen. What amazed us is they had a fully stocked pantry that included many of the items that we thought that we would need to go to the store for. Pancake mixes along with the ingredients to make them for example. We had arrived on the last ferry and did not have time to shop so finding something to eat for breakfast was an unexpected treat in this vacation rental. We will definitely be back!
Headland House has a walking trail to access a private beach and dock privileges perfect for fishing, lauching a kayak or beach combing. Arriving late...ask about our food provisioning service where we can stock the referigerator and pantry ready for your arrival

Keeping Up With The Kardashians returns on Sunday and E! has released a superteaser to give fans a preview of the drama that ensues on Season 9, and it's right here on RadarOnline.com.
There's never a lack of drama with the Kardashian/Jenner family, and reality TV's first family doesn't disappoint this season.
Khloe Kardashian's failed marriage to Lamar Odom and new relationship with unsavory rapper French Montana is heavily featured — but will it last?
PHOTOS: The Most Scandalous Baby Bump Photos Of All Times
"You're a hot item in the rap community," Kourtney's baby daddy, Scott Disick says to Khloe's new beau in one clip.
"I'm afraid for you, you live a double life," Kim Kardashian tells Khloe in another.
"Double life is what I did," Khloe says, reflecting on her marriage to Odom. "Constantly hiding what someone else was really doing."
And Khloe's marriage isn't the only one this season that crumbles.
PHOTOS: 20 Most Ridiculous Moments From The Kardashians' Reality Shows
As Radar previously reported, Kris and Bruce Jenner separated last Oct. after 22 years of marriage.
"Don't you get lonely out here by yourself," Kris asks Bruce at his Malibu bachelor pad.
"Just stop," he shoots back. "You have a tendency to be very controlling. I don't need that in my life."
And no season of KUWTK would be complete without fists flying.
While on a family vacation in Thailand earlier this year, Disick got into it with a fellow vacationer.
PHOTOS: 15 Kardashians Fights: They're Sisters… But Not Always Friends
"Did you just f**kin' touch my sister?" Disick angrily asks an unidentified man at a beachside bar, before violently slapping him across the head.
Of course there's plenty of Kim's prep for her European nuptials to Kanye West this season too, and you can check out the entire teaser below:
New episodes of Season 9 air Sunday, June 8 at 9/8c on E!

Arsenal are expected to make a bid for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry.
The Independent says Gilberto Silva's move to Panathinaikos will clear the way for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger to bid for Barry.
Wenger has let it be known to the club's hierarchy that he rates the England midfielder highly and rarely discloses the identity of a transfer target until he is reasonably certain that he is sure of the player's suitability. His Villa counterpart, Martin O'Neill, confirmed this week that Arsenal have made a preliminary inquiry.
The key factor is whether Arsenal will pay the £18m fee that has proved such a sticking point for Liverpool.

We had to kill two roaches in the room we were in. Internet did not work most of time. Breakfast was plentiful. I will pay more to stay in a roach-free hotel with internet working properly. Won't stay here again!

|Landscape analysis using GIS methodology for the evaluation and prediction of relationships of amphibian health in Missouri wetlands
|Romero, Miriam, 1975-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|A new methodology to quantify wetland health is developed using landscape characteristics for 49 wetlands in northern Missouri and relating them to wetland health. Wetland health was defined in this project as the presence of sensitive or rare amphibian species, such as tiger salamanders or northern crayfish frogs, which are very sensitive to habitat disturbance. Crops, forest, grass, stream, roads, change in elevation, and others characteristics were landscape characteristics considered because they are assumed to affect wetland habitat for amphibians. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed at the different spatial scales mentioned above, to test the relationship between wetland health and landscape variables. It was found that proximity to roads affect negatively the wetlands health up to a distance of 900 meters, while crops can have a negative effect up to a distance up to 2100 meters.

Aquino visits wake of soldiers killed in Zamboanga fighting
More News from Frances Mangosing
MANILA, Philippines – President Benigno Aquino III on Thursday visited the wake of the three soldiers killed in recent clashes with Moro National Liberation Front gunmen in Zamboanga City.
Aquino arrived at Camp Aguinaldo to pay his respects to First Lieutenant Francis Damian, the third junior officer who lost his life battling MNLF rebels last Tuesday. Aquino stayed at the wake for about an hour.
Damian's remains arrived at Camp Aguinaldo on Wednesday. He will be buried at the Libingan ng Mga Bayani next week.
"It's painful. Can you even describe it?" the father of Damian said, retired police general Chief Superintendent Roberto Damian of Philippine Military Academy Class of 1979.
He said his son was "obedient" and "respectful."
The younger Damian volunteered to be deployed in Zamboanga City, where his family was based, immediately after he finished an Airborne course.
"The father in me wanted to tell him to take a break first, after all he is entitled with such because he just finished school. But the soldier in me said that he had to go on duty," the elder Damian said. He sent his son off to Villamor airbase last week, the day after graduation, to fly to Zamboanga.
He described his son as a "professional soldier" and someone "very aggressive," adding that he wanted to take all difficult [military] courses…such as the Scout Ranger course and Light Reaction course.
"He also had plans of joining the Special Forces after he finished his Airborne course. He wanted to be all that he could be," he added.
The junior's assignment was to replace First Lieutenant John Khristopher Rama of the Army's First Light Reaction Company, who was killed in clashes a week before.
He left behind a nine-year-old daughter and his young widow – Navy Lieutenant Aemy Leslie Campos, also from PMA Class 2007.
Before going to Camp Aguinaldo, Aquino also visited the wake of two other slain officers in Bulacan — Rama in Norzagaray and then of First Lieutenant Florencio Mikael Esguerra Meneses in Pulilan.
At least a hundred had been killed from the fighting, with 17 of them from the military side.

The clips have been made freely available under the terms of the "Creative Archive Licence."
The license allows people within the United Kingdom to watch, download and edit the clips and programming for noncommercial purposes.
People interested in "being creative" with BBC material will be free to download and mix that footage, and to "use it as the fuel for their own creative endeavors," the British media company said.
The footage is now at the BBC News Open News Archive and is available in the QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG1 and MP3 formats.
"This trial is an important step in allowing us to share with our audiences the extraordinary news archive which the BBC has recorded over the years. We look forward to getting their reaction," BBC News director Helen Boaden said in a statement.
The BBC will be releasing more content across other areas of its Web site in the coming months.

Report: Lucic to have disciplinary hearing with NHL
|04.19.09 at 10:14 am ET
According to a report on TSN, B's winger Milan Lucic will have a hearing with NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell on Sunday after getting a match penalty in the third period of Saturday night's Game 2. Lucic was given a minor penalty for cross-checking when he came up high to Maxim Lapierre's head with his gloves and stick when Lapierre approached Lucic in front of the Montreal net. Following the game, the refs amended their call and slapped Lucic with a match penalty for the exchange.
According to NHL rules, a match penalty results in ejection from the game along with suspension pending a review by the NHL Commissioner's office. That review appears to now be underway.

Monday, March 04, 2013
Rita Moreno talks about her career in on the stage and screen, and her new memoir, Rita Moreno. She's one of the few artists to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. She has also received a Golden Globe Award and a National Medal of Honor. She recently concluded a sold-out run of her one-woman show, "Life Without Makeup," at the Berkeley Repertory Theater in Berkeley, California, and regularly appears in the television show, "Happily Divorced."
Guests:Rita Moreno
Comments [5]
leonard, just be quiet and listen. how many times does she have to tell you she came before the Puerto Rican wave to US? Eli Wallach was an old man by then? It was his first film. She's so lovely; just let her talk and be quiet instead of trying to show off knowledge, so much of which is erroneous.
What a lovely person - she has lived such an interesting life, clearly a smart and talented individual. Her voice is so pleasant, too - perfect for story-telling : )
LOL did she just hit him with the "your peoples" language?? Interesting.
How does she stay so young looking. I met her in person and thought she was in her 50's.
I've been watching Oz over the past few weeks and just want to say that Rita is absolutely great in it!

We're almost there.
Since I currently only have the Repromaster 213mm, I decided to make a bag bellows.
Did you ever see a bag bellows on a 7x17? Well, this may be the first time. The aesthetics are not perfect, but at least it is functional and allows for the full 2" front rise and 1" front fall that is available with a lens this short.
As I expand my collection of lenses in the near/far future, a folding bellows will have to be made.
@noseoil: the drawer guides are stable, especially with the weight of the back frame and front box with lens. No problem found!
I also worked on the locking mechanism for the extention rails but those are not finished yet.
The front box is temporary as I am still awaiting the curtain shutter I won in fleabay some weeks ago.
The camera features 65 degr. front tilt and 35 degr. back tilt but all will be limited by the bellows.
With almost everyting in place, the old Gitzo R2 head is still rock solid. Not bad for a 35 Euro head.
I will keep you updated.
With the fresh cut film on its way, time is very near to make some exposures!

Another federal government fiscal year end is quickly approaching and with it comes the usual uptick in spending, awards...and inevitable protests. If you are considering a protest, it is critical to understand the deadlines for filing. When to file varies depending on a number of factors including: the type of solicitation; whether or not a debriefing is required; the protest grounds; and whether the solicitation was a set-aside that may trigger a size or status protest. Different forums are available and/or required depending on the type of protest. The following are some general tips to keep in mind so you do not miss a critical deadline.
Generally, you may be able to file a bid protest with:
Protests challenging the size or status of a proposed awardee must be submitted to the contracting officer, who then has an obligation to forward those protests along to the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Pre-award grounds for protest generally must be filed before the due date for proposals. Examples of pre-award protest grounds that must be filed prior to the due date for proposals include:
Protests based upon improper cancellation of the solicitation or that an offeror was improperly excluded from the competitive range, generally, can be filed within ten calendar days of the date that the protestor knew or should have known of the basis of protest. If you are able to request a debriefing and the government gives you the option to wait for the award to be made, always take the first available date, even if it is a pre-award debriefing. An offeror will be viewed as having sat on its rights if it does not "diligently pursue" its grounds for protest. A good rule of thumb is to always take the first debriefing date offered, whether it is pre- or post-award.
Post-award grounds for protest generally must be filed within ten calendar days from award or within five calendar days from a required debriefing in order to receive a suspension of contract performance. However, post-award protests may also be timely if filed within ten calendar days of a required debriefing. If a debriefing is not required, such as for Task Orders awarded under the Federal Supply Schedule, then generally the ten-day rule from the contract award applies. Examples of post-award grounds for protest include:
Protests as to size or status of the awardee must be filed with the contracting officer within 5 working days from notice of proposed award or notice of award. The contracting officer is then required to forward these protests to the appropriate SBA office.
If you believe you have a potential protest on any of these grounds, it is important to immediately reach out to counsel to be certain of the deadlines. Protests filed outside the deadlines will be dismissed as untimely.
My partner, Jon Williams and I recently conducted a webinar on Navigating Bid Protests which gets into more detail as to who can file a protest, considerations before protesting, understanding the protest process, whether the awardee should intervene in the protest, agency corrective action and recent statistics on the success rate of protests before the GAO. You can view a YouTube recording of the webinar or download the slides for your review.

What do you think about the government recently legalizing the "jailbreaking" of smartphones including the iPhone? Read more about this here and tell me what you think. Was the government right to legalize this? Will this mean that more people will "jailbreak" their phones in order to switch to other carriers or run other apps?
Personally, I don't think that this will make a huge difference is how many people jailbreak their phones because most of the people who are going to do it already have. In addition to this, I think that the government was right to legalize it. It technically isn't breaking any laws (copyright, etc) that I can see. It's just changing a device that the customer paid for and owns.
Answer by boba0420 · Jul 27, 2010 at 12:33 PM
I think that it should be legal, because we can install whatever os we want onto our computers (besides mac on pc (legally)), so why shouldn't we be able to customize the phones that we also paid for.
Answer by Unleashed · Jul 27, 2010 at 01:08 PM
i think this is a very good thing, i used to jailbreak all the time and now i dont with the iphone 4 because its too much hassle and obviously there is no tool yet. but even when there is i wont jailbreak. but it should be up to you what you install on your phone jailbreaking opens the phones wings and you can put some very handy apps and customise it like you want. it really does make it better. i hope apple release firmware and you dont have to jb it because it will be open to any app you want, they should put like a warning saying anything you install 3rd party and not authorised then if something happens to it its your fault, i can see a flood of complaints about apps that dont work or harm your phone, but there are already some apps in the store that dont do what they say and even steve said that was one of the reasons they need to authorise them..
this is a very good thing and i hope apple finally allow these apps with out giving users a problem or having to jailbreak, they are fighting a losing battle any way there will always be a jailbreak even if they allow it or not...
but those idiots who abuse it is a majur reason why apple dont allow it doing things they shouldent be
Answer by catchatyou · Jul 27, 2010 at 04:01 PM
I think that Apple is so strict, because they know what's best for their products. Who are you to say that they don't know what's best...they made the product. I don't tank that the government has any right on this subject. If I owned a business, I want to make the decisions for it myself. I don't want them to come in and say that I can't do this a certain way. There are some things that the government needs to stay out of.
I agree with you completely, but don't you think that if someone pays for a product and owns it that they should be able to do whatever they want with it; including jailbreak it? Just a thought.
i agree with Techrob...they do whats best for the company..not always for the product..i have had a jail broken device for awhile..and its so much better than the a non jailbreak one....i paid 300 dollars for..i should be able to use it to its full ability legally
@TechRob You purchsase the hardware, and a right to use one copy ofmthe software per device. Also Jailbreaking was legal since1999 anyway.
Answer by Tom White · Jul 27, 2010 at 07:46 PM
I think the government apps weren't being approved and now its go too much for them they through their toys out and made it legal, or like so many others they don't like AT&T.
It shouldn't be legal only apple knows whats best for their products.
I agree that Apple knows what's best for their products, but if people want to mess up their own devices then I say let them. I'd rather have Apple's firmware anyways.
if you ask me for one to say "apple knows whats best got their products" is like saying "mother knows best"
Linux was created with the notion that not everyone knows the best way to do one thing.
if anyone knew best, there would never be competition, if apple knew what was best, why would you want a PC?
if apple knew best, why would u not want a iphone?
if apple knew best, why did the newton never pan out?
I was referring to the iphone, ipad, etc and which apps are allowed in the app store and for THEIR products not about everything. The reason I don't want the iphone is because of AT&T. And I never said I don't want a Mac. I simply own a PC because that's what I can afford.
Answer by Emily · Jul 27, 2010 at 08:31 PM
You Pay enough for the phone you should be able to use it whatever way you want (within the law). In my opinion apple saying no to jail breaking completely would be like HP saying you can only install windows on a PC. It is silly.
Answer by Yuma · Jul 28, 2010 at 09:46 PM
I don't care honestly. People have been "Jail breaking" their devices for a long time. You payed good money for the tech and you should use it anyway you like. Ruin it, put unauthorized software on it, doesn't matter. Its yours, and besides does anyone Really care if your device can play a few more apps or do a few extra features?
No one has followed this question yet.

Personal Profile
Research Description
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of cell surface receptors. They share a common 7 transmembrane domain configuration and act to transduce extracellular stimuli to the interior of the cell. GPCRs are expressed in virtually every cell type and modulate an extremely wide range of physiological processes. They represent a rich source of targets for the pharmaceutical industry with approximately 30-50% of current pharmaceuticals targeting these proteins.
Following repeated or continuous exposure to agonists GPCRs exhibit diminished responsiveness, a phenomenon termed receptor desensitisation. For many GPCRs rapid desensitisation is mediated by a family of serine/threonine kinases, the G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs). GRKs phosphorylate agonist-occupied GPCRs and the phosphorylated receptor serves as a binding site for a member of the arrestin family. Arrestin binding uncouples the GPCR from G proteins and targets the phosphorylated receptor for internalisation via clathrin-coated pits. Given their role in regulating GPCR function it is not surprising that changes in the expression levels, or activities, of the GRKs are associated with a number of disease states. For example, GRK2 and 5 upregulation are responsible for alterations in myocardial function in chronic heart failure.
In addition to their role in mediating GPCR desensitisation several lines of evidence suggest the GRKs have other cellular functions. It is our aim to elucidate at the molecular level the cellular functions of the GRKs, work which may aid in the design of therapeutically useful GRK inhibitors.

Although Finland-based Nokia managed to reduce its first quarter net loss to 272 million euro ($357 million) from a loss of 928 million euro a year earlier, mainly thanks to cost cutting, net revenue dropped to 5.8 billion euro from 7.4 billion euro in the same period last year.
Mobile phone sales volumes fell across the globe, especially in China, which saw a 60 per cent drop. Sales of smartphone devices dropped 32 per cent globally to 1.1 billion euro. Nokia lost its dominant position in the smartphone market when its Symbian operating system failed to keep up with the likes of Apple.
The company had hoped to remedy that by launching several Lumia phones based on the Windows operating system.
Although sales of Lumia phones grew 27 per cent in the first quarter, total figures for mobile phones dropped by more than 30 per cent to 1.59 billion euro. The company is also being squeezed in the low-end "feature phone" market by Asian manufacturers making cheaper phones.
CEO Stephen Elop said he was pleased that Nokia "achieved underlying operating profitability for the third quarter in a row" but conceded that the company faced a "difficult competitive environment" in mobile phones.
