|Minimum Stay
The Osage Cottage is family-friendly and perfect for outdoor gatherings. The Osage Cottage sits on a spacious double lot just 250 feet from the most beautiful stretch of beach on the North Coast. The cozy living room and front bedroom interior have been lovingly restored to the original 1925 natural woodwork. The blueprint was designed for togetherness, with a large dining room table at the heart of the house, flanked by living-room and family-room. Both rooms have instant cozy ambiance with gas stoves. The living room has a Flatscreen TV with cable, and DVD/VHS player, as well as a reading library, comfortable couches and a leather recliner. The family-room is stocked with board-games, piano and writing desk. The house has high-speed Wi-Fi, also accessible from the deck (if you must work- at least you can do so while enjoying a view of the ocean). Enjoy 3 bedrooms (2-queen, 1-double) and a convertible futon couch to comfortably sleep 8. Two of the bedrooms sit in the front section of the house with one bathroom (large bathtub and shower) between. The Master Bedroom is just off the family-room with a private bathroom (shower). Leave the windows open at night and drift off to sleep to the sound of ocean waves.
The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pans and utensils- everything you need for preparing gourmet meals. The North-facing windows look out on the yard and are perfect for watching clouds shift and wild bunnies hop through the yard while you cook. The kitchen includes new appliances, such as an electric stove, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. For your convenience, there is also a garbage disposal, mixer, blender, and some spices. We have coffee maker as well as a coffee bean grinder- best with locally roasted, Sleepy Monk coffee beans.
If you don't feel like cooking, stroll to Mo's for Ocean Front Dining (for their famous clam chowder), or the Warren House Pub, all within 2 'blocks'. Explore a great selection of wine or rent a movie at the Surfsand Market- and don't miss their free Saturday wine tasting 2-4pm.
Our family currently lives in Portland and Bend, OR. The Osage has been a place for our family and friends to gather since 1925. It started out as a homestead tent by our Swedish Ancestors who met in Osage City, Kansas, and has evolved to it's current configuration, in the 5th Generation. Family history is something we treasure, and you'll find the house is filled with antiques and photographs from our coastal history and Scandinavian Heritage. We love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible on the beach and in the ocean. The Osage has been our little slice of heaven, and we hope you and your family will enjoy it too!
Kathleen purchased this house in 1925
If you appreciate Cannon Beach history, cottage charm, close proximity to the beach, and the freedom of a big yard... The Osage is for you.
For guests who have a hard time climbing through the soft-sand path to the beach-front, the Tolovana Inn has easy stair access just across the street.
Four older people had a wonderful two days at Osage Cottage, enjoying the perfect weather, the sunny deck with tame rabbits on the lawn, the comfy beds and clean, well-organized kitchen. We loved it. All the amenities you need, and none that you don't. I hope to go back.
Once again, we had a very lovely stay at the Osage Cottage. The large yard was ideal for us with two small children. The deck offered us the opportunity for outdoor dining, especially since the weather was the best we've ever had. The rooms are cozy and functional and the full kitchen + washer and dryer really help make our time easy. Thank you for another wonderful Cannon Beach vacation...and we hope to see you again next year!
The house is very close to the beach. It was roomy and cozy, even for us six people. We enjoyed the charm of the Scandinavian decoration. Our time inspired us to definitively come back to this area. We had a great time!
Our family loved staying at the Osage Cottage! The location is perfect! An easy walk to the ocean and a great stretch of beach in both directions for wonderful morning and evening strolls. We watched beautiful sunsets and made campfires on the beach almost every night. The cottage is quaint and spacious (super clean/ just like the pics)and perfect for us to dine in and watch movies! The deck is nice and the chimnea was a fun gathering spot as well!
Thank you Kathleen for sharing your family's cottage with us! We hope to come back next year!
Was the listing description accurate regarding the location? Yes. We were familiar with the area, too.
Did the listing photos accurately reflect the rental's appearance and amenities? Yes
Was the property clean and well-maintained? Yes
Was the owner helpful in answering your questions or concerns? Yes, very.
Would you recommend this property to a friend or relative? Yes
What nearby activities, attractions and restaurants would you recommend? We always enjoy Mo's. Our toddler liked the small playground at the nearby park. We like being able to walk to the beach without having to cross Hemlock.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Osage. Everything worked out so well and we loved having three bedrooms, a nice size kitchen and dining table and the lovely yard/deck. We look forward to visiting again next year. How soon can we book? :)
We were very impressed by the house- it was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect for us (close to the beach and in walking distance of Haystack Rock, but not in the crowded area of Cannon Beach). It was a pretty cold weekend, so we were glad we had such a nice "home base". We hope to return again soon!
The Osage Cottage sits on the south edge of town, just off of Tolovana Beach. Walk two blocks from the house and you can explore miles of beach. You can head north towards Haystack Rock, or South towards Silver Point, Jockey's Cap and Hug Point. It is easy to find a great spot for an evening campfire just steps from the beach entrance. You can also soak up the sun and watch the ocean by day, or have a fire in the chiminea by night from the comfort of The Osage deck.
Looking for adventure? Rent a fun-cycle at mid-town, go horseback riding, take a surf lesson, skim-board, fly a kite, try kiteboarding or paragliding, go surf fishing, dig for razor clams or go crabbing (Dec-Sept), charter a fishing trip for Steelhead or Salmon (seasonal), play beach-volleyball, hike Neahkahnie Mountain or the spectacular trail from Ecola State Park to Indian Beach, build a sandcastle or simply sit in the soft-sand and watch the waves roll in around Haystack Rock.
Entertainment: See live theater at the Coaster Theater in Cannon Beach. The nearby town of Seaside offers an outlet mall, cinema, roller-blade rentals, arcade, bumper cars and an aquarium.
Art & Leisure: Cannon Beach is known for its unique art galleries and quaint shopping district. Plan ahead for the many wonderful annual coastal events: Stormy Weather Arts Festival (November), Cannon Beach Photo Review (October), or the annual Sandcastle Contest (June).
A few favorites:
Cocktails/pool/darts: Warren House Pub
Microbrews, burgers and live music: Bill's Tavern
Espresso Shakes & all ice cream: Osburn's Ice Creamery
Sleepy Monk Coffee Roasters & The Irish Table (midtown).
Shallon Winery (Astoria): Vintner, Paul VanderVeldt, spins tales of Oregon history on his winery tour and tasting of his whey based fruit wines. The chocolate wine will blow your mind. Plan for an hour and bring cash (no credit cards).
Nehalem Bay Winery: If you're up for an outing, it's just 17 miles away and a delightful change of pace in lovely Nehalem Bay. 34965 Oregon 53 Nehalem, OR 97131
Free Shuttle Service: May-September, runs every 1/2 hour and picks up near The Osage Cottage.

University of Memphis romps in regular-season opener, 97-81, over Belmont
Expectations grow after impressive opening victory
It was only the first win of the season for the University of Memphis.
But in dispatching Belmont, 97-81, in convincing fashion Tuesday at FedExForum before a national television audience on ESPN, the Tigers raised one very valid question: Is Memphis again good enough to compete for a national championship?
"We have a great win (Tuesday), but we've got a top-20 team (up next) in Michigan," coach Josh Pastner said. "So there is no, 'Let's celebrate,' because you're on to another really good game."
In its opening-round game of the Maui Invitational, No. 10 Memphis ran Belmont -- a team that gave No. 6 Duke all it could handle last week in a 77-76 road loss -- off the floor before a delighted crowd of 16,294.
Memphis exhibited its depth and versatility, going to a small lineup that included senior Wesley Witherspoon and freshman Adonis Thomas in the first half after post players Tarik Black and Stan Simpson both got into foul trouble in the game's first nine minutes.
The Tigers (1-0) also showed how good they can be defensively, limiting the Atlantic Sun Conference-member Bruins, who went 30-5 a season ago, to 38.8 percent shooting while forcing 18 turnovers. Against a Belmont team that ranked third in the country in 3-pointers made per game a season ago (9.3), Memphis held its opposition to just 6-of-20 shooting from deep.
"We've been looking forward to this game ever since we lost to Arizona (in the NCAA Tournament last season)," said Will Barton, who led Memphis with 23 points and five rebounds. "All we kept thinking about is getting back to this point and getting this season rocking and rolling. We're just out to prove that we're one of the best teams in the country."
Barton scored 13 in the second half and Witherspoon carried Memphis in the first half with Black and Simpson in foul trouble, scoring 16 of his 22 points before the break to stake Memphis to a 12-point lead before Belmont closed the gap to 46-39 at halftime.
Coming off a disappointing junior campaign in which he missed 11 games because of suspension and injury, Witherspoon did everything in his power to keep the Tigers ahead early, going 6-of-6 from the field in the first half, including 3-of-3 from 3-point range. He finished 8-of-8 from the field, adding five rebounds and two steals.
"It just felt like I was playing the basketball everybody knows I can play," Witherspoon said. "It's been a long time since I've been this healthy and able to go out and do the things that I know I can do on the floor. Tonight I was fortunate enough to get it going and it was a great night for us."
Thomas was also a key contributor in his college debut, scoring 12 points and grabbing three rebounds while playing the power forward position for much of the game. It was a luxury Memphis didn't have last season when Black and former Tigers forward Will Coleman got in foul trouble.
"Any time those big guys get in trouble, it's not a problem for us because we have so many versatile players," Witherspoon said. "We have Adonis who can slide down and play that four position, and we can just play small ball."
Though Memphis lost the rebounding battle, 42-29, and shot just 64.7 percent (22-of-34) from the free-throw line, it did just about everything else right. The Tigers registered 20 assists on 34 baskets and turned the ball over just nine times despite the game's up-tempo pace.
Sophomore guard Joe Jackson had his third consecutive standout performance after playing well in both of Memphis' exhibitions, finishing with 20 points to go with seven assists, four rebounds and just two turnovers.
"As everybody can see, Joe Jackson has grown," senior guard Charles Carmouche said. "He understands the game more. And even during the game, we were sitting on the bench and he was like, 'Man, I'm finally having fun doing this.'"
Perhaps an even more encouraging sign for Memphis was that each time Belmont made a run, the Tigers had an answer.
When Kerron Johnson's layup with 8:16 left cut Memphis' lead to 73-66, the Tigers responded out of a timeout with a Jackson alley-oop pass to Black. When Johnson (13 points) hit a jumper on the next trip down, Black answered again with a bucket in the paint.
An Ian Clark 3-pointer with 3:45 left made it 84-77, but Memphis scored 12 of the game's next 14 points, pushing its lead to 17 with 1:17 left on a Thomas dunk. The Tigers shot an extremely efficient 58.6 percent from the field, including 7-of-14 from 3-point range.
"Experience is the big key for this team," said Carmouche, who finished with eight points, five assists and a game-high five steals. "With the depth we have on this team, you guys see we can play any given five players at any time. We're fast, scrappy and athletic. We're just a good team."
Memphis returns to action on Monday when it faces No. 17 Michigan (2-0) in its championship-round opener of the Maui Invitational at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui. It will be another chance for the Tigers to earn a quality early season win against a high-level opponent as they build their résumé for March.
"It's not as much about the rankings because the rankings in the end, what does it mean? It's what you do at the end of the year," Pastner said. "It's just that it gave us a legit team to give us a barometer of where we're at -- things that we've done well and things that we need to get better on."

Less is documented about him than the others within the Vishanti and many of the spells that entreat him seem to be alliterative ie: The Hook of Hoggoth, The Hand of Hoggoth, The Hounds of Hoggoth and the Hoary Hosts of Hoggoth though there are others such as the Mists of Hoggoth. Creation Hoggoth is first mentioned in Strange Tales Vol 1 #116 written by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby. Powers and AbilitiesHoggoth is an extremely powerful mystic entity.

The WWII Airborne Demonstration Team has lost one of their own. Sharon Bennett, WWII Airborne Demonstration Team member and volunteer was contacted by the Frederick Press-Leader and reported, "A press release is being prepared by the team and will probably be released later today." Tillman County Sheriff Bobby Whittington was contacted and he confirmed there was a parachute accident at the Frederick Airfield on Tuesday, July 22 that resulted in the fatality of a jumper.
Whittington stated, "We are investigating an accident that happened last night." He further reported, "There was either an equipment malfunction or a medical emergency." Whittington referred to the deceased WWII ADT member stating, "They think he might have had a heart attack." He further explained, "There might have been a minor equipment malfunction." Whittington also stated, "He had a pretty good size canopy, the experts out there do not think he could have had enough velocity to sustain that type of injury." This comment was in reference to the on-going investigation including whether the cause of the accident was due to equipment malfunction or as a result of a medical emergency experienced by the individual. Whittington reported, "Emergency first aid was administered at the scene and he was transported to the Frederick Hospital where he passed away."
The Tillman County Sheriff Department will continue to investigate the incident in conjunction with the Federal Aviation Administration according to Whittington. "They (the FAA) will be here today." This accident is especially disturbing for Frederick community members as they have attended multiple Open Hangar Day demonstrations annually for the past several years. The WWII ADT has another Open Hangar Day scheduled for this Saturday, July 26 in Frederick. It was not clear at press time whether this celebration will continue as planned or if a memorial service will be held in place of the usual demonstration parachute jumps.
ADT member Sharon Bennett hosted two of the team members this past Monday at the Frederick Rotary Club. The members presented a slide show of their recent trip to Normandy, France and spoke about their experience participating in the "D-Day plus 70" reenactment parachute jump involving jumpers from all over the world.

Voice Art Gallery
Custom Sound Wave Art
Acoustic Art
Brian Curfman, the founder of Voice Art Gallery, was inspired to create art from voice recordings after he made an e-card with an audio message for his wife and noticed how interesting the sound waves looked. Brian started making custom prints of sound recordings for his family and friends, and his wife encouraged him to grow the artistic pastime into a business so anyone could turn words into art.
Voice Art Gallery makes it easy. First, you record a message using a tool on Voice Art Gallery's website, or you can upload your own audio file. Up to four words is a typical message length, though you can opt to record more (the fewer words you record, the more detail you'll see in the sound waves). Next, you choose a size, color scheme, and framing option, and then preview a design proof before finalizing the artwork.
Voices are like fingerprints, so no two prints are alike. Displayed on a wall, the sound waves can be a visual reminder of a message from a loved one, an inspirational quote, and special occasions (baby's first words, a proposal). There's no text on the artwork, so the message stays as private as you want it to.

Grommet Launch Conversation
Hi Fellow Grommeters! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce you to the world's most sentimental art and answer any questions you may have. Voice Art takes your personal message and transforms it into canvas artwork that is truly your own. Our team at Voice Art Gallery is passionate about customer service and providing the highest quality products so please let me know if there is any way I can assist you.
brilliant concept!
I have a privacy-related question. When submitting a clip, can you or your employees actually listen to it? Or is it automatically processed into the soundwave image?
@ Mike Hi Mike, that is a great question. We have a very strict privacy policy when it comes to the recordings and artwork. Only a couple of people have access to the recordings. Each of your works of art are touched by a human not computer generated. The only artwork we share is when customers send us a picture of their artwork and ask us to post on our Facebook Page or our Shared Voice Art board on Pinterest.
@ Mike - We can vouch for their stance on keeping your messages private. While putting this piece together we wanted to know what the funniest/most interesting thing they've ever recorded was and they wouldn't tell us citing their privacy policy.
I think this is great!
@ Joanna - Thanks Joanna!
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

On November 4, 2013, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) published a proposed rule (pdf) to remove the Inyo California towhee (Pipilo crissalis eremophilus) from the list of threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The Service concluded that delisting the Inyo California towhee is warranted because substantial threats to the species have been ameliorated or reduced since listing, and the species no longer meets the definition of a threatened species under the ESA.
According to the Service, the total rangewide population of the towhees indicates a self-sustaining population. Specifically, the species' population has increased from 200 individual towhees at the time of listing to between 640 and 741. A cooperative agreement between land managers and the Service also represents an ongoing commitment to the conservation of the towhee and its habitat.
Threats to the towhee historically included grazing by feral equines, recreational activities such as hiking, camping, hunting, and off-highway vehicle use, water diversion, mining, energy development, invasive and nonnative plants, predation, and climate change.
Comments on the proposed rule must be submitted by January 3, 2014.

Questioning UPA government's commitment to root out corruption in the country, anti-graft activist Anna Hazare today said he does not trust Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi for enactment of a stringent Lokpal Bill.
"Both PM and Sonia Gandhi can no more be trusted to bring a stringent Lokpal bill to root out corruption ... Had they been committed to the issue it would not have taken two years to take concrete decision in this regard," Hazare told reporters here.
Describing the Lokpal Bill approved by the union cabinet as 'a farce', Hazare said he had written a letter to the Congress president in reply to her letter to him seeking clarification whether the proposed bill will be a stringent one and whether CBI and the CVC will be kept out of the government's control.
But she has not responded to these clarifications, he said and trashed the proposed Lokpal Bill. "The Centre is trying to befool the people by going ahead with it."
If the government went ahead with the enactment of a 'weak' Lokpal Bill, he would launch another agitation, Hazare, who had sat on indefinite hunger strike at the Ramlila grounds in Delhi last year to press for the January Lokpal Bill, said.

MENIFEE: Former council candidate tries for school board
And although she isn't a board member or former school employee like her four opponents, Sullivan has worked in classrooms.
"Even though I'm not a teacher, per se, I was a teacher aide. I do have the background," she said.
Sullivan doesn't deny that she still has an interest in one day serving on the City Council and says a school board seat could be one path to that goal.
"They all know I want to be on the City Council," she said. "Everything in politics is a steppingstone."
When asked if she will commit to serving all four years if elected, Sullivan said: "at the moment."
The district has done the best it can financially in tough economic times, Sullivan said, and she's pleased that no teachers have lost their jobs.
She wants class sizes to stay small, especially for students who need more personal attention.
Sullivan said she'd bring varied experiences to the board.
"I will bring in some new thoughts," she said. "The trustees have been there for a while. It's going to be a new way of looking at things. I'm a good problem-solver; I'm good with making up compromises. And I know the community."
Sullivan has been married for eight years and has two sons and two teenage grandsons, whom she helps raise.

Episode #45
Josh Fox
Monday, July 08, 2013
Josh Fox didn't set out to be a documentary filmmaker. And in 2008, when Fox was canvasing for Barack Obama, hydraulic fracturing meant nothing to him. Things changed when Fox's parents were offered nearly $100,000 to lease their Pennsylvania land for drilling rights. After seeing people light their contaminated well water on fire, Fox made a film called Gasland, which explores the impact of hydraulic fracturing on everyday Americans. It showcased at Sundance in 2010.
Hosted by:Alec Baldwin
Produced by:Emily Botein and Kathie Russo
Comments [18]
Brilliant interview! Thank God people are finally waking up about fracking! Glad my neck of the woods bans it -- saving our pristine forests and ground water.
What a talk/interview. Interesting that a few say Franknation debunks Josh Fox. I haven't seen that film.
I'm not a big fan of nuclear power. Seems quite dangerous, doesn't it?
Watch FrackNation for another look at Fracking. Interesting twist.
I completely applaud and admire Mr. Fox for his commitment to eliminating fossil fuels from the world diet,however, I think his views (and yours Alec) on nuclear energy need to evolve. Robert Stone's new (2013 Sundance Film Festival) documentary, "Pandora's Promise" provides a strong case for why environmentalists have got it wrong and how nuclear energy provides the cleanest and most abundant source of energy that can safely and effectively replace fossil fuels and reverse climate change. Here's Scientific American's review of the film: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/10/pandoras-promise-documentary_n_3417071.html. News: http://pandoraspromise.com/category/news/. Would love for you to interview one of the prominent environmentalists like Steward Brand and Mark Lynas from the film and ask what changed their minds about nuclear.
Love your Podcasts. I'm raving about them to friends and colleagues!
@k8 from NJ-so gas presence in the tap water prior to fracking negates all other dangers about fracking? I defy you to find *any* farmers who are not having problems thanks to fracking.
Hooray for Josh Fox, Alec Baldwin and Here's The Thing. Josh, it IS about fracking, and it IS also about taking back our government and our rights. As long as good people are making a stand where they live (nod to Mr. Stipe) there is hope for the oldest democracy in the world.
Mt Baldwin, Please also have a session with Prelim McAleer whose documentary film "Fracknation" debunks most/all of Mr. Fox's statements made in his own film. People's faucets were able to be set on fire long, long, long before the drilling companies arrived in PA. Mr McAleer talks to the farmers and land owners whose own livelihood would be affected if there were problems with the water. Two sides to this story. Make sure you hear both.
Lovin podcasts as I roadbike (muscle power) miles of VT roads.
To answer the question why Obama kowtowed
to BP & big oil: if he upset the industry and gasoline
was upped 1$/gallon, would Americans support
the environment or start screaming? Will enough people care
people care when the last tuna is netted or
the US southwest undergoes ecological collapse?
Not as long as we can farm fish and have air conditioned
cars and houses. The Unity Ride for Peace and Harmony
is inspirational but will the "two-leggeds" turn their heads?
Excellent interview, highly interesting. So inspiring to know that people like Josh Fox are out there. And Alec, you deserve credit, too. Thanks to the both of you.
Thanks to mr fox for all his hard work into the research and leg work behind this documentary.ii am so happy there are people out there that are there to help the people's interest into preserving what we have.i live in wisconsin and did some research into seeing if this was happening in my state.turns out there was no hydro fracking going on.i however did find out that they are mining silica which is used in hydro fracking and the practices they are using are detremental to the environment and people's health..just my 2 cents
@ Amala: You really need to watch Gasland 1 and 2. It's heart breaking but it shows how EPA is full of themselves. I don't want to say much a ruin the films for you. You will pretty much be angry after watching both films.
Alec, explain to me how camping in your car is "weird". Maybe your worldview based on living in doorman buildings and a sequestered life of the rich is weird. Maybe you are weird because your lifestyle uses so much more natural resources than the majority of people..
I think many Americans would love to fight harder for the environment (I know I would) but we don't know how or where to begin. In this day and age of the internet and Twitter, it shouldn't be as daunting as it is. I don't want to just throw money at a problem, I want to work to leave the world better than I found it.
...and I thought all my heroes were cowboys. Thanks Josh Fox and Alec Baldwin.
Thank you for this incredibly wonderful interview. Thank you. Have you thought about interviewing Cecile Pineda, author of _Devil's Tango_?
does everything really have another side ? to argue for a benefit to "fracking", is no less ludicrous than engaging in the formation of another flat earth society.
Wow, so inspiring, thank you for drawing out Mr. Fox's brilliant view of this country!!
Thank you for hosting Mr. Fox and shedding light on the danger of hydrofracking. A later news report on WNYC included the a contention by the reporter that the film does not show how profitable natural gas is and that the film is one sided. I haven't seen either Gasland I and of course not yet II but I want to know if the film goes into the economics. From what I understand, the profit is taken out of the community and goes mainly to the gas industry, not to the ones who lease the land. So it's all false promises. Can you please explain?

Latest Drew Houston Stories
Microsoft Office and Dropbox integration will boost productivity and collaboration. SAN FRANCISCO and REDMOND, Wash., Nov. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dropbox Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
On Wednesday, cloud-based storage service Dropbox unveiled its new approach to organizing and sharing photos and videos. Dubbed Carousel, it is available now via an Android and iOS app, which can be used to organize digital media into events by time and location.
Dropbox CEO and co-founder Drew Houston is reportedly looking to raise $250 million in funding this year, and if successful that would put the value of the five-year-old company at just about $8 billion.
CharTec to provide partners with Dropbox services to suit their business needs. Bakersfield, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2013
Dropbox is transitioning from a simple cloud-storage app to a comprehensive platform of services that seeks to replace the hard drive altogether.
Size matters a lot, at least when it involves sending large emails. As photos, videos and other files have continued to increase in size this can make the sharing of those files via email all the more difficult.
Cloud storage provider Dropbox has announced they will be acquiring the company behind the mobile email app Mailbox.
Popular cloud storage solution Dropbox announced yesterday that they'd hit a very important milestone: 100 million customers.

The Viair 280C air compressor is a workhorse of an air compressor. This compressor is an entry level 150 PSI pump that brings you dependable service at an affordable cost. These pumps are virtually maintenance free and seem to last forever.
Features include a standard 1/4 in stainless steel braided leader hose with check valve and insulated wiring for simple installation.
This air compressor is designed to handle up to a 5 gallon air tank. Using this compressor with a larger tank, pressure over 150 PSI, or without a pressure switch not only voids your warranty but may reduce the lifespan of your compressor.

New Study: Cooking In The Classroom Helps
Alright, kids, put down your pencils and pick up your spatulas. A new study in the latest issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that the Cooking with Kids elementary school program is beneficial to young students. The program incorporates science, culture, geography and math into its food and nutrition educational system. And with child obesity rates at an all-time high, more schools may start considering adding food curriculum to the classroom.
Colorado State University conducted the study by interviewing 178 fourth-graders, plus teachers and food educators who took part in Cooking with Kids. As it turns out, kids enjoy making their own food and eating it too.
Founder Lynn Walters created separate curriculum for grades K-1, 2-3 and 4-6, and all three programs encourage participants to respect their peers and treat cooking as fun, not a chore. Dr. Leslie Cunningham-Sabo, one of the doctors who worked on the study, said the results confirmed that cooking in the classroom is essential for encouraging a healthy lifestyle at an early age.
"It documents the importance of including cooking in school curriculum as it is a practical mechanism to promote health, social and educational skills to better prepare students for adulthood," she said.
The article, "Qualitative Investigation of the Cooking with Kids Program: Focus Group Interviews with Fourth-Grade Students, Teachers, and Food Educator," by Catherine V. Lukas, MS, RD and Leslie Cunningham-Sabo, PhD, RD. appears in the Nov./Dec. issue of Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, Volume 43, Issue 6.

So I have been running for a little while now and when I first started I went to a local running store and had my feet sized for shoes. They said that I have normal pronation, not under or over. I have since worn those shoes out and went into another shoe store for another pair and they said that I have overpronation.....I wasn't sure if they were right since I had been told that I had normal pronation so I went to another store (same owners) and they said the same thing......... Who to believe....... I have had my gate analyzed and they said I have a normal pronation as well. I'm soooo confused as to what type of shoes I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think the answer is really simple: How does your stride feel to you, and how to do the shoes feel when you run?
My feeling is that the folks in running stores, while more knowledgeable about running shoes than the average joe, are not always qualified to judge a runners form. Many are sincere in wanting to help you and provide useful information, but ultimately, they are there to sell shoes.
When it comes to pronation, it is purely a judgement call and a matter of opinion. My suggestion is to select a pair of shoes that "feel" right to you, spend some time walking in them (preferably on carpet or somewhere that you won't overly scuff the soles of the shoe), and if they don't feel right after a bit, return them.
I've experimented with a lot of shoes and, yeah, I've returned some. The net-net here is that you are going to be investing ~$100 and quite frankly, they need to feel right to you when they run.
It does not sound like you have a serious pronation issue, so I would not make too big a deal out of it. The salesfolks may make mention of it in order to sound informed and such, but I think that it is all mostly sales talk. Absorb the information, nod understandingly, and make your own decisions.
Good luck!

Our favourite video of the day, this. Friday practice, Malaysian GP, 2011. Hispania Racing's Vitantonio Liuzzi's F1 car is beset by his team's familiar problems.
So off he went into the pits, leaving his stricken car by the roadside. Helpfully, some F1 marshals pushed it off the road.
Unhelpfully, one of them got squished.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This course is a collection of short Photoshop and Illustrator projects and creative effects that can be completed in ten minutes or less. The series is taught by computer graphics guru Deke McClelland, and presented in his signature step-by-step style. The intent is to reveal how various Photoshop and Illustrator features can be combined and leveraged in real-world examples so that they can be applied to creative projects right away.
In this movie, I'll show you how to paint the fish body associated with the infamous fish-eye effect. And it's largely about painting inside of a selection outline, as well as painting a bunch of straight lines using the brush tool. So I'll go ahead, and switch over to the image that I created in the previous movie. I'm going to turn on this template layer, which contains everything that we're going to draw in this movie, but in red. And I'll go ahead and click on that template, to select it as well. And I'll make a new layer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N, or Cmd+Shift+N, on the mac, and I'll call it fish and click okay.
Now we've got to select this kind of lozenge shape that represents the eye. So I'm going to zoom out quite a bit actually, and I'm going to switch to the elliptical marquee tool, which you can choose from the rectangular marquee tool fly out menu. And I'm going to draw an ellipse that traces along the bottom of what is ultimately the eyelid. So we're only interested in the bottom in that first brushstroke, and it's not quite in the right position, so I'll use the arrow keys to nudge it into place. And then you want to press the Shift and Alt keys, that's Shift and Option on a Mac, And notice that you'll see a little x next to your cursor.
And now if you drag, you're going to find the intersection of the selection you're drawing right now and the selection you drew just a moment ago. So I'll move it to about here. And I'm using the space bar, by the way, in order to move this new selection on the fly. And so I have the Shift, Alt, and space bar keys down. At this point however I can release the Shift and Alt keys, the Shift and Option keys on the Mac because they've already done what they need to and I can use just the space bar in order to move this selection on the fly like so. And then once I like where it is, I'll release the space bar, release the mouse, and I end up with this selection outline.
And it's not exactly on target, but it's close enough. I'll go ahead and nudge it up just a little bit. Now, I want to paint inside that selection, using the brush tool. So I'll grab my brush tool. The last brush I used was fairly out there, so I'm going to go up to the little brush icon, on the far left side of the options bar, right-click on it and choose Reset Tool. And now, I'm going to right-click inside the image window. It only increase the size value to a 150 and it'll take the hardness value up to a 100%. Now notice if I just start painting, notice that really super, lumpy brush stroke right there.
That is a function of something called spacing. If you were to bring up the brush panel. Need to make sure you're looking at the brush tip shape stuff. This basing option here has since the dawn of time been set to 25%. Now it's only set this high so that you can paint quick brush strokes, but now we have much, much better computers. Anyway notice what happens if I increase the spacing value. What Photoshop is doing is laying down a bunch of dollops of paint here, that are spaced very close together but not close enough because we're seeing the lumps.
What you need is a spacing value of anywhere from 10% to 5%, is what I sometime use. And I'm going to use 5% this time around. You definitely want the spacing value to be turned on because otherwise you'd just get distant dollops. Go ahead and hide the brush panel. And I'll press Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z on the Mac, to undo that brushstroke and then I'll paint. Now, if I was using a pressure sensitive stylus, I know now I'm using my mouse, I could do a better job than this. What I decided to do, and you can see I just undid that brushstroke, I decided to paint a bunch of straight lines.
And you do that, in case you don't already know about this trick. It works with any of the Paint and Edit tools, except for the gradient tool, here inside the central portion of the toolbox. You click at one location like so. And then you press the Shift key and click at another location. And anything between the click and Shift+click points gets connected by a straight line. And then I decided to do it here. So click and now Shift+click. Click here and shift+click down here. For the next step to work, by the way, where we employ a filter in just a moment, you need to make sure that you have some decent thickness going on.
So you don't want to get too close to the edge of that selection outline. Click and Shift+click down here, click here, Shift+click here. Click at this point, Shift+click right about there, let's say. Click here, and Shift+click there. And now I'll press Ctrl+D or Cmd+D on the Mac to deselect the image. Now, if I were to turn off the fish layer, you'll see that we've got these rounded corners going on, on the inside of the fish. Whereas if I turn on my fish and turn off the templates, I've got sharp corners.
Well, you can take care of that by rounding off the corners with the filter and the filter that rounds off corners inside Photoshop, whether you're working with the fish or not, is Median. Go up to the Filter menu, choose Noise and then choose Median, like so. And by default this value is set to one pixel, which will provide you with just a little bit of rounding. I raised it much higher. Now if we take it to something like 60 pixels, you're going to start losing details. Like here. At least I am, the way I painted it. So instead I'm going to take it down to 30 pixels.
Now if you're still losing some stuff, you're either going to have to paint in more into the inside of that selection outline that you had a moment ago. Or you're going to have to incrementally lower your radius value. Anyway, mine looks fine. So I'll go ahead and click OK. Alright, now i'm going to bring back my red template. So I can paint a few more lines. I'm going to right click inside the image window and reduce the size value to 80 pixels. And press the Enter key or the Return key on the mac. And I'll click there on the tail and Shift+click right about there. And now I'll press the left square bracket key.
And that of course reduces the size in my brush. And I'll click here and I'll Shift+click here. Now, I"ll press the left bracket key two more times so that my brush is 50 pixels, and I'll click and Shift+click, then I'll go down here and click and Shift+click. And finally I'll click and Shift+click right there, and the last thing I need to do is reduce the size of my cursor by pressing the left bracket key a few times until it's 30 pixels, which it is for me now. And I'll click right there and Shift+click at that location, and I'll click and Shift+click like so.
Now at this point, I need to put the fish in an ocean. So, I'm going to scroll to the bottom of the list here, and I'm going to click on the background. And I'm going to fill it with a static gradient. So, first thing I'm going to do is dial in a color, a foreground color, here inside the color panel. Change the hue to 210. I'll change the saturation to 100 percent, and I'll change the brightness to 50 percent. And now, I'll select my gradient tool. Just in case, you might as well right-click on the little gradient on the far-left side of the options bar, and choose reset tool.
And that way you'll have the same settings I have. Next drag from the top to the bottom while pressing the Shift key. So you're getting an exclusively vertical drag. And go ahead and release the mouse button. That gradient is going to suffice for the inside of the eye, believe it or not. But we need a different kind of pattern and gradient combo to represent the ocean. So, go ahead and grab the Lasso Tool, and then you want to press the Alt key or the Option key on the Mac and click inside of the fish. So in other word, we just try to select the inside area for now and we've got a lot of wiggle room here, so it should be easy.
And then release the Alt or Option key in order to complete that polygonal selection. Now I want to select the area outside the fish, not inside. So go up to the Select menu and choose the Inverse command. Now one of the problems here is that we're seeing a little bit of Iris above and below the fish. So we need to cover that up. Which means you need to click on the Iris layer to make it active. And let's make yet another new layer by pressing Ctrl+Shift+N or Cmd+Shift+N on the Mac. I'll call it C. And click OK.
And now let's fill the selection with white by pressing Ctrl+Backspace or Cmd+Delete on the Mac. Then press Ctrl+D or Cmd+D on the Mac in order to deselect the image. So at this point, everything outside your fish should be nice and white. And the top and the bottom of your Iris should be covered up. I'm going to turn off the template for just a moment because it's a little distracting. And with the C layer active, I'll click on the FX icon and I'll choose Pattern Overlay. And to switch away from this silly pattern, go ahead and click the down arrow icon and then the pattern we're interested in is Rusted Metal, believe it or not.
If you're not seeing it Then click on the little gear icon and choose patterns from the bottom of the list. And if you're asked to append, just go ahead and click OK, because this is a better collection of default patterns anyways. And select this orange one, rusted metal, which will create a kind of rust pattern, I suppose. We want it to be much larger. So increase the scale value to 500%, at least where this image is concerned. Alright, I want to darken up the top. So I'll select gradient overlay by clicking on it.
An I'm going to change the angle value to, negative 90 degrees. This assumes your gradient is black to white. And I'm going to change, the blend mode to multiply so that we can see through to the pattern overlay below. And I'll reduce the opacity value to 50%. Now finally, our fish should not be swimming in rusted metal. He should be swimming in the ocean. So let's give him some by clicking on Color Overlay. Click on the Color Swatch. The color I'm looking for has a hue of 210 degrees. A saturation of a 100% and the brightness value just leave it set to a 100% as well.
Then click OK, and change the Blend Mode to Color, in order to produce this lovely effect here. Now click OK. And a final thing we need to do, if only for the sake of aesthetics here, is add the bubbles. So I'm going to turn the template back on, so I can see where the bubbles go. I'll click on the fish layer to make it active. I'll press Ctrl+Shift+N or Cmd+Shift+N on the Mac to make a new layer, call it Bubbles, click OK and then press the B key to switch to the brush and I want to tap the X key too so that my foreground color is white.
And I'll right click inside the image and change the size to 70 pixels And then I will click right there. I'll use the right bracket key to increase the size of my cursor a little bit, until it matches the template. In the case you're trying to follow along, I've got a hundred pixels brush and I'll click. And then I just right click and this time, change the size of my brush to a 160 pixels and click at this location. Alright, now, I need to erase some holes but I can't see my template so I'll put my template on top of the bubbles which will work out just fine. And I'll go ahead and grab my Eraser tool.
You've gotta click on the Bubbles layer to make it active once again. Right-click inside the image window. The should be 100%. I'm going to take the size up to 30 pixels. Click right there, and then I'll press the right bracket key a few times in order to increase the size of my brush. It should be 45 pixels, it is, and I'll go ahead and click inside there, and then finally, I'll right click inside the image and change the size to 90 pixels, is what I want. And I'll click right there.
And then, I'll hide the template later because I no longer need it. And I'll end up with this very near final effect. Now that leaves just one more element. As shown here in the final version of the Illustration. We have these tapering ring brush strokes that simulate pressure sensitivity without a walk on tablet. And I'll show you how that works in the next movie.

Property Details
Condo, 1 Bedrooms, 1 Baths, 4 Sleeps
Nestled at the foot of Hualalai Volcano Kailua Kona had its beginning as a tiny fishing village.
Today you will still find that small village feeling and the Aloha Spirit alive and well.
The 2 lane road Alii Drive which travels along the ocean boasts scenery which cant be topped.Kailua is still that little sleepy town that closes up at 9 pm. A very few establishments are open till 10 or possibly 11 PM. The surfers are out waiting for the 'big one" in the morning and as always when sunset comes people stop doing whatever and watch in awe. Things really have stayed the same.
Holualoa Gardens sits midway between the resort areas of Kailua town and Keauhou. The complex is hidden just off Alii Dr which insures privacy and quiet. The building is directly across the street from the Pacific Ocean. Holualoa Bay and the popular surfing beach called Banyans is reached by simply walking across Alii Drive. Pick a sandy spot and have a picnic watching the sunset. La'aloa Beach Park which is also known as Magic Sands Beach is a popular place for boogie boarding. Magic Sands is located a short mile to the south.. Traveling another mile further south (2 miles from the condo) is Kahalu'u Beach which is considered one of the best snorkeling spots on the Island. (Turtle sighting are almost guaranteed )
We are located about 2 1/2 miles from the "downtown" The location is excellent as a home base. We are close to the village yet at a distance for peace and quiet. You couldnt find a better starting point.
