Journalist Lori Tobias arrived on the Oregon coast in 2000. After freelancing from Newport for several years, she signed on with the Oregonian as a stringer covering the coast from Florence to Astoria; later she would be hired as a staff writer responsible for the entire coast--one person for more than three hundred miles. The job meant long hours, being called out for storms in the middle of the night in dangerous conditions, and driving hundreds of miles in a day if stories called for it.

The Oregon coast is a rugged, beautiful place known for its dramatic landscapes and fierce storms. Separated from the state's population centers by the Coast Range, it is a land of small towns reliant primarily on fishing and tourism. Many of the stories Tobias covered were tragedies: car crashes, falls, drownings, capsizings. And those were just the accidents; Tobias covered plenty of violent crimes as well, such as the infamous Christian Longo murders of 2001.

Tobias's story is as much her own as it is the coast's, and she takes the reader through familiar beats of life--learning to live on and cover the coast, regular trips back east as her parents age, the decline of journalism in the twenty-first century--and the unexpected, often unglamorous experiences of a working reporter, such as a bout of vertigo after rappelling from a helicopter. Storm Beat tells a compelling story of a land that many visit but few truly know.

Comfortable Pillows
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
These pillows have a nice soft feel and are so comfortable. They’re supportive without being too firm, so my neck feels comfortable throughout the night. They’re lightweight, fluffy, and easy to adjust for different sleeping positions. The material feels smooth and well-made, and the pillows hold their shape better than I expected for the price. They use some alternative fill instead of real feathers which is good for people with allergies.

Mid range quality
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
They work for kids who aren’t picky. Size fit twin bedding well. Look nice and clean. Quality is mediocre. It wasn’t filled very much even after giving time for it to breathe and fluff. Kind of lumpy and lopsided.

I bought these to exchange some old pillows on my son's bed and let me tell you.. they are so soft he fell asleep almost instantly! They keep him nice and cool during the night, they have kept their shape so far and they support your neck perfectly.

give this amazon basic option a try
Size: Standard (Pack of 2), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillow
great comfort and value for everyday use. Designed with soft density, they provide gentle support that works well for stomach and back sleepers, helping maintain a comfortable sleeping position throughout the night. The down alternative fill feels plush yet lightweight, making the pillow cozy without being too firm. It holds its shape reasonably well and is suitable for guest rooms or daily use. While side sleepers may need more support, this pillow is a solid, affordable option for anyone looking for soft, breathable comfort.

I am very impressed!
This little frother is perfect and my frappé coffee tastes as if I were sitting at one of the hundreds cute, outside cafés in Thessaloniki. It whips stiff coffee foam in just a few seconds, holds charge for a long time, and appears to be of superior quality. Variable speed control is great, as it prevents the coffee liquid to splash when starting the frothing process. Granted, I have only owned it for about 2 weeks, but I am totally impressed, and hope it'll keep making delicious frappés for me for a long time to come. So far, highly recommend!
