We are John Culhane & Nathan Williams, retired from state service with a combined 71 years, owners of this wonderful home that we purchased a few years ago and remodeled. We had a long-term dream of owning and running a bed & breakfast for the simple fact that we both like to travel and (email hidden), and have always enjoyed the more personal connection with the host and other guests that allows us to find out about local events, places to go and things to see. This is a connection that we don't experience in a more sterile hotel/motel setting.
We remodeled our 1906 home to bring back the original fir and oak floors, update the bathrooms with walk-in showers and heated floors and opened more space for guests to use in addition to the large and unique guest rooms. We have kept our home simple and without kitsch or unnecessary furniture so that guests have room to move about, put their feet up, be relaxed and comfortable.
John is the cook and enjoys creating a great spread for breakfast which many guests have told us is way more than just a continental style but the full-meal deal.
Our home is dedicated to "our" parents, Carlton and Ann Williams, who were both very social, loved to travel, meet new people and who made this dream to own a B&B possible.
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
John And Nathan has completed online and offline ID verification.
From the moment John picked us up at the airport, we felt like invited friends rather than guests. The house is beautiful and spacious on a tree lined street of similar large homes. Downstairs there are three large, open rooms: a music room with a grand piano, a dining room and a living room, all thoughtfully decorated and welcoming. Our room, the Maple Room, was much larger than expected. So was the shared bath. Every detail had the guest in mind, including lots of extra pillows and blankets and any possibly forgotten toiletry. On the second floor with the guest rooms there is a lovely L-shaped sun porch for relaxing or reading quietly if a guest wanted a quiet space to relax. Breakfast was preceded by a pot of tea delivered to me in the living room by Nathan, and John's breakfast spread was carefully laid out with meats and cheeses and savory wild rice pancakes and delicious gluten-free muffins that honored my dietary requests. The neighborhood is walkable and safe, with similarly large, lovely homes and gardens just a large block from the Whitman campus and its spacious Ankeny Field and Penrose Library. Downtown is just beyond campus, filled with wine tasting rooms, restaurants and specialty shops--all extremely walkable. As for John and Nathan, these two are great listeners and interesting conversationalists with stories of local lore and world travels. I hope my son chooses Whitman next fall--I know where I'll be staying!
John and Nathan were fantastic hosts! We stayed for one night in their Maple Room while on a road trip and had one of the best sleep I've ever had while traveling (thanks to their aaaaamazingly comfortable bed). They are extremely gracious and hospitable, providing a wonderful breakfast and travel supplies in case you forgot anything. We will stay again if ever in Walla Walla!
Spent a very nice week in John and Nathan's CarltAnn house--Anne Belov Room. While their description of the house and room is accurate, I felt it to be understated; the room and house as a whole was beautiful and impressive. The sun room and downstairs sitting areas are extremely comfortable and relaxing; the bathroom is very well done and, both fits well with the era in which the house was built and is perfectly up-to-date. The pictures do not do this fantastic bed and breakfast justice. The hosts themselves were the best of company; friendly and inviting and wonderful conversationalists. Nathan has created a beautifully landscaped yard that is not to be overlooked.
John and Nathan's initial responses over email were always very prompt. Just before we made our trip, I had several questions about the room, and restaurant/winery recommendations, and they answered all of them in great detail. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The house is beautiful. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was very well-stocked, and included items such as ear buds, floss picks, toothbrushes, and toothpaste as well - very thoughtful. John's homemade breakfast both mornings was a delight, and we couldn't have asked for better. We even got to listen to Nathan play the piano, and enjoy some wine and conversation with both of them. We truly enjoyed our stay and would love to be back.
This is the BEST place to stay for parents visiting their college student offspring at Whitman College. Especially if the student is staying at Lyman. John and Nathan are gracious and thoughtful hosts who deliver gracious hospitality with flair. The location is unbeatable, basically you will be staying within the boundaries of the campus map, and will wake up to a nutritious and delicious breakfast, and be able to walk home after dinner at one of Walla Walla's many great restaurants downtown.
Lovely home, great location, and John and Nathan were perfect hosts. We also enjoyed talking with the other guests. A great experience overall that I'd highly recommend!
Great hosts. Extremely comfortable room. Lovely well kept home. Excellent location. Hope to return.
John & Nathan are the consummate hosts. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood one block from Whitman, the rooms are clean & comfortable, and the breakfast (and company) is wonderful. All of our needs (toothbrush, sewing supplies, chai tea!) were provided for with good cheer. This is where we stay in Walla Walla. Thanks again!
The CarltAnn House is a wonderful place to stay no matter your reasons for visiting Walla Walla. Not only are the house, rooms, and grounds beautiful, comfortable and perfectly located, but the hosts really make the stay fun and memorable. John and Nathan are fabulous, thoughtful hosts! We enjoyed several wonderful conversations with these great gents and look forward to more in the future. We weren't sure when we would arrive and they were very flexible on our arrival and even when we asked if we could extend our stay another day. They have made their home into a beautiful and relaxing oasis. The breakfast is beautiful, tasty and meets many dietary restrictions - though we don't have any and partook of everything - delicious. I think my husband was considering stealing the homemade pumpkin butter! The location is perfect - in the lovely Whitman collage neighborhood and within a short walk or bike ride to downtown. We brought our bikes and rode them into town and to a few tasting rooms from the house, and we were able to put the bikes in their garage so we didn't worry about having them out at night. The rooms are lovely, each tastefully decorated and done in beautiful colors. Our room (Dragonfly) has an en suite bathroom that was perfect, but we also saw the shared bathroom, which is beautiful as well. While we didn't have time to enjoy it, the house has a lovely sun room with cozy seats and a gorgeous view of their back yard - I plan to take advantage of this lovely retreat on our next visit. John and Nathan are really wonderful hosts and individuals and it was fun meeting them and seeing their personalities reflected in the decor and personal touches that make the home so lovely and welcoming. We really loved staying with them and have already warned them that we will be back to further explore Walla Walla, stay in the lovely CarltAnn house and visit with these wonderful gents again!
We truly loved staying at John and Nathan's beautifully restored home in the lovely neighborhood bordering the Whitman College campus. We could walk downtown and both John and Nathan were so welcoming and friendly, offering advice on where to eat and which of the local wineries were some of their favorites. The Maple room where we stayed was spacious, luxurious (satin sheets and down pillows!), and quiet. Super comfy bed too! All the amenities were thoughtfully provided, even down to floss and lint rollers....and everything was super clean and just very high-class. The breakfast was amazing with homemade bread and muffins, fresh fruit, homemade frittata, and great coffee and both John and Nathan joined us for breakfast and we had such great conversation and laughter....truly enjoyable! I would definitely stay here again when in Walla Walla and highly recommend this place. Thank you John and Nathan!
John and Nathan were fantastic guests! I would welcome them back any time! Sad that they live so far away !!
John and Nathan were top notch guests. Very considerate, clean, and friendly. Would host to these two, and welcome them back anytime!
I was only able to have brief contact with John and Nathan. This was unfortunate because they were very warm and open, and I enjoyed talking with them very much. We hope to host them again in the future! Extremely clean and tidy!

Yota Devices Double-Taps Cypress TrueTouch Gen5 for Touchscreen on Next Generation YotaPhone Two Gen5 Capacitive Touchscreen Controllers Enable "Always-On" Dual-Screen Design Featuring Top-Performance Touch Functionality With Gloved Finger Tracking and Water Resistance BARCELONA, SPAIN -- (Marketwired) -- 02/24/14 -- Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY) today announced its TrueTouch(R) Gen5 capacitive touchscreen controllers will drive both displays in the next generation YotaPhone, Yota Devices' revolutionary "always-on" premium Android phone, which was unveiled today at Mobile World Congress. Cypress's TMA568 controller delivers advanced multitouch functionality to the AMOLED display, while the TMA545 controls YotaPhone's second electronic paper display. The next generation YotaPhone leverages Gen5 by adding the market's most accurate gloved finger tracking and most robust water tolerance to both displays, while also contributing to the phone's thin design and long battery life. YotaPhone's always-on display gives users continual access to maps, social media content, alerts and other information people want for extended periods of time, without having to wake up their phone. The electronic paper display leverages Gen5's low power consumption to preserve the smartphone's battery life. The Gen5 TMA568 controller on the AMOLED screen works with a Cypress CapSense(R) capacitive touch sensing controller to extend the touch area of the front screen, allowing it to distinguish the next generation YotaPhone's specific touch gestures from standard Android gestures. The TMA568 controller supports an ultra-thin on-cell stackup for the front screen, made possible by the Gen5 family's unmatched immunity to electrical noise from displays. Cypress is demonstrating its TrueTouch touchscreen controllers in Hall 2, 2E30MR at Fira Gran Via and Yota is showing the next generation YotaPhone in booth ID30 from February 24-27, 2014. "YotaPhone pioneered the dual-screen usage model. Now, the next generation YotaPhone builds on this success by applying the world-class touchscreen performance of TrueTouch Gen5 on both displays," said Yota Devices CEO Vladislav Martynov. "Cypress's best-in-class touchscreen technology will help us take the 'always-on' smartphone concept to the next level." "Yota Devices' innovative YotaPhone dual-screen smartphone is the perfect showcase for the advanced features and industry-leading performance of our TrueTouch Gen5 family," said Hassane El-Khoury, executive vice president of the Programmable Systems Division at Cypress. "The design demonstrates Cypress's technology leadership with gloved finger tracking, water tolerance and noise immunity that no competitive solution can match. Additionally, it shows how the versatility of Gen5 enables our customers to bring their visions into reality." Electronic noise from displays and after-market chargers can disrupt a touchscreen's ability to operate properly. The TrueTouch Gen5 family's ChargerArmor(TM) feature delivers unprecedented 40 volt peak-to-peak (Vpp) charger noise immunity measured from 1 to 500 kHz with an ultra-thin 0.5-mm cover lens and a finger-size up to 22 mm--the most stringent specifications used to measure any touchscreen controller. No competing controllers deliver noise immunity over 15 Vpp under these conditions. With Cypress's unique and patented DualSense(TM) technology to execute both self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance measurements in the same device, the Gen5 family offers the industry's best waterproofing for seamless performance in real-world conditions, including the presence of rain, condensation, or sweat. By combining this powerful architecture with an industry leading 32-bit ARM(R) Cortex(TM) M-Core processor that is known for high-efficiency MIPS/mW, Gen5 controllers boast 120-Hz refresh rates and low power consumption. Gen5 controllers drive the touchscreen at 10V and at high frequency with narrow-band, single-pass scanning and advanced hardware DSP filtering. Touch Leadership Cypress's touch-sensing portfolio is the industry's broadest and most well-adopted, encompassing TrueTouch, CapSense, and TrackPad solutions. The company's unmatched IP portfolio is backed by more than 100 capacitive touch-sensing patents. The IP includes true, single-layer sensor solutions with Cypress's Single-Layer Independent Multi-touch (SLIM(R)) sensor for dramatically reduced touchscreen costs.

The Mellotron is an electro-mechanical, polyphonic tape replay keyboard originally developed and built in Birmingham, England, in 1963. It evolved from a similar instrument, the Chamberlin, but could be mass-produced more effectively. The instrument works by pulling a section of magnetic tape across a head. Different portions of the tape can be played to access different sounds.
The original models were designed to be used in the home, and contained a variety of sounds, including automatic accompaniments. The bandleader Eric Robinson and television personality David Nixon were heavily involved in the instrument's original publicity. A number of other celebrities such as Princess Margaret were early adopters.
The Mellotron became more popular after the Beatles used it on several tracks. It was subsequently adopted by the Moody Blues, Genesis and King Crimson, and became a notable instrument in progressive rock. Later models such as the M400, the best selling model, dispensed with the accompaniments and some sound selection controls in order to be used by touring musicians. The instrument became less popular in the 1980s due to the introduction of polyphonic synthesizers and samplers, despite a number of high profile uses from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark and XTC.
Production of the Mellotron ceased in 1986, but it regained popularity in the 1990s, and was used by several notable bands. This led to the resurrection of the original manufacturer, Streetly Electronics. In 2007, Streetly produced the M4000 which combined the layout of the M400 with the bank selection of earlier models.
The Mellotron has a similar behaviour to a sampler, but generates its sound via audio tape. When a key is pressed, a tape connected to it is pushed against a playback head, like a tape recorder. While the key remains depressed, the tape is drawn over the head, and a sound is played. When the key is released, a spring pulls the tape back to its original position.[1] A variety of sounds are available on the instrument. On earlier models, the instrument is split into "lead" and "rhythm" sections. There is a choice of six "stations" of rhythm sounds, each containing three rhythm tracks and three fill tracks. The fill tracks can also be mixed together.[2]:17–18 Similarly, there is a choice of six lead stations, each containing three lead instruments which can be mixed. In the centre of the Mellotron, there is a tuning button that allows a variation in both pitch and tempo.[2]:19 Later models do not have the concept of stations and have a single knob to select a sound, along with the tuning control. However, the frame containing the tapes is designed to be removed, and replaced with one with different sounds.[3]
Although the Mellotron was designed to reproduce the sound of the original instrument, replaying a tape creates minor variations in pitch and amplitude (known as wow and flutter respectively), so a note sounds slightly different each time it is played.[4] Pressing a key harder allows the head to come into contact under greater pressure, to the extent that the Mellotron responds to aftertouch.[5]
Another factor in the Mellotron's sound is that the individual notes were recorded in isolation. For a musician accustomed to playing in an orchestral setting, this was unusual, and meant that they had nothing against which to intonate. Noted cellist Reginald Kirby refused to downtune his cello to cover the lower range of the Mellotron, and so the bottom notes are actually performed on a double bass. According to Mellotron author Nick Awde, one note of the string sounds contains the sound of a chair being scraped in the background.[1]
The original Mellotrons were intended to be used in the home or in clubs, and were not designed for touring bands. Even the later M400, which was designed to be as portable as possible, weighed over 122 pounds (55 kg).[6] Smoke, and variations in temperature, and humidity were also detrimental to the instrument's reliability. Moving the instrument between cold storage rooms and brightly lit stages could cause the tapes to stretch and stick on the capstan. Leslie Bradley recalls receiving some Mellotrons in for a repair "looking like a blacksmith had shaped horseshoes on top."[7] Pressing too many keys at once caused the motor to drag, resulting in the notes sounding flat.[8] Robert Fripp stated that "Tuning a Mellotron doesn't".[9][10] Dave Kean, an expert Mellotron repairer, recommends that older Mellotrons should not be immediately used after a period of inactivity, as the tape heads can become magnetized in storage and destroy the recordings on them if played.[7]
Although tape samplers had been explored in research studios, the first commercially available keyboard-driven tape instruments were built and sold by California-based Harry Chamberlin.[11] The concept of the Mellotron originated when Chamberlin's sales agent, Bill Fransen, brought two of Chamberlin's Musicmaster 600 instruments to England in 1962 to search for someone who could manufacture 70 matching tape heads for future Chamberlins. He met Frank, Norman and Les Bradley of tape engineering company Bradmatic Ltd, who said they could improve on the original design.[12] The Bradleys subsequently met bandleader Eric Robinson, who agreed to help finance the recording of the necessary instruments and sounds. Together with the Bradleys and television celebrity David Nixon, they formed a company, Mellotronics, in order to market the instrument.[13] Robinson was particularly enthusiastic about the Mellotron, because he felt it would revitalise his career, which was then on the wane. He arranged the recording sessions at IBC Studios in London, which he co-owned with George Clouston[14]
The first model to be commercially manufactured was the Mk I in 1963. An updated version, the Mk II, was released the following year which featured the full set of sounds selectable by banks and stations.[12] The instrument was expensive, costing £1,000, at a time when a typical house cost £2,000 - £3,000.[15]
Fransen failed to explain to the Bradleys that he was not the owner of the concept, and Chamberlin was unhappy with the fact that someone overseas was copying his idea. After some acrimony between the two parties, a deal was stuck between them in 1966, whereby they would both continue to manufacturer instruments independently.[16] Bradmatic renamed themselves Streetly Electronics in 1970.[17]
In 1970, the model M400 was released, which contained 35 notes (G-F) and a removable tape frame. It sold over 1800 units.[7] By the early 1970s, hundreds of the instruments were assembled and sold by EMI under exclusive license.[8] Following a financial and trademark dispute through a U.S. distribution agreement, the Mellotron name was acquired by American based Sound Sales.[18] Streetly-manufactured instruments after 1976 were sold under the name Novatron.[17] The American Mellotron distributor, Sound Sales, produced their own Mellotron model, the 4-Track, in the early 1980s. At the same time Streetly Electronics produced a road-cased version of the 400 – the T550 Novatron.[19] By the mid-1980s, both Sound Sales and Streetly Electronics suffered severe financial setbacks, losing their market to synthesizers and solid-state electronic samplers, which rendered the Mellotron essentially extinct. The company folded in 1986, and Les Bradley threw most of the manufacturing equipment on the skip.[20]
Streetly Electronics was subsequently reactivated by Les Bradley's son John and Martin Smith.[21] After Les' death in 1997, they decided to resume full-time operation as a support and refurbishment business. By 2007, the stock of available instruments to repair and restore was diminishing, so they decided to build a new model, which became the M4000. The instrument combined the features of several previous models, and featured the layout and chassis of an M400 but with a digital bank selector that emulated the mechanical original in the Mk II.[3][22]

The first notable musician to use the Mellotron was variety pianist Geoff Unwin, who was specifically hired by Robinson in 1962 to promote the use of the instrument. He toured with a Mk II Mellotron and made numerous appearances on television and radio.[23] Unwin claimed that the automatic backing tracks on the Mk II's left hand keyboard allowed him to provide more accomplished performances than his own basic skills on the piano could provide.[24]
The earlier 1960s Mk II units were made for the home and the characteristics of the instrument attracted a number of celebrities. Among the early Mellotron owners were Princess Margaret,[25] Peter Sellers,[26] King Hussein of Jordan[15] and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard[27] (whose Mellotron is now installed in the Church of Scientology's head UK office at Saint Hill Manor).[28] According to Robin Douglas-Home, Princess Margaret "adored it; he (Lord Snowdon) positively loathed it."[26]
After Mellotronics had targeted them as a potential customer, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop became interested in the possibilities of the instrument, hoping it would allow them to increase throughput. The corporation used two custom-made models that employed recorded sound effects throughout 1963 and 1964, but had problems with fluctuating tape speed and found the sound wasn't up to professional broadcast quality.[29] The Mellotron was eventually dropped in favour of electronic oscillators and synthesizers.[30]
British multi-instrumentalist Graham Bond is considered the first rock musician to record with a Mellotron, beginning in 1965. The first hit song to feature a Mellotron Mk II was "Baby Can It Be True", which Bond performed live with the machine in televised performances, using solenoids to trigger the tapes from his Hammond organ.[31]
" | There's one thing I can do / Play my Mellotron for you / Try to blow away your city blues | " |
Mike Pinder worked at Streetly Electronics for 18 months in the early 1960s as a tester, and was immediately excited by the possibilities of the instrument.[33] After trying piano and Hammond organ, he settled on the Mellotron as the instrument of choice for his band, The Moody Blues, purchasing a second-hand model from Fort Dunlop Working Men's Club in Birmingham[34] and using it extensively on every album from Days of Future Passed (1967) to Octave (1978).[35] Pinder claims to have introduced John Lennon and Paul McCartney to the Mellotron, and convinced each of them to buy one.[35] The Beatles hired in a machine and used it on their single "Strawberry Fields Forever", recorded in various takes between November and December 1966.[36][37] Though producer George Martin was unconvinced by the instrument, describing it "as if a Neanderthal piano had impregnated a primitive electronic keyboard",[16] they continued to compose and record with various Mellotrons for the albums Magical Mystery Tour[38] and The Beatles (White Album).[39] McCartney used the Mellotron sporadically in his solo career, and his wife Linda played one while touring with Wings.[40]
The Mellotron became a key instrument in progressive rock. King Crimson bought two Mellotrons when forming in 1969. They were aware of Pinder's contributions to the Moody Blues and didn't want to sound similar, but concluded there was no other way of generating the orchestral sound.[41] The instrument was originally played by Ian McDonald,[42] and subsequently by Robert Fripp on McDonald's departure. Later member David Cross recalled he didn't particularly want to play the Mellotron, but felt that it was simply what he needed to do as a member of the band.[43] Tony Banks bought a Mellotron to use with Genesis in 1971 from Fripp, which he claimed was previously used by King Crimson. He decided to approach the instrument in a different way to a typical orchestra, using block chords, and later stated that he used it in the same manner as a synth pad on later albums.[44] His unaccompanied introduction to "Watcher of the Skies" on the album Foxtrot, played on a Mk II with combined strings and brass, became significant enough that Streetly Electronics provided a "Watcher Mix" sound with the M4000.[3] Banks claims to still have a Mellotron in storage, but doesn't feel inclined to use it as he generally prefers to use up to date technology.[45] Barclay James Harvest's Woolly Wolstenholme bought an M300 primarily to use for string sounds,[46] and continued to play the instrument live into the 2000s as part of a reformed band.[47]
The Mellotron was used by German electronic band Tangerine Dream through the 1970s,[48] on albums such as: Atem,[48] Phaedra,[49] Rubycon,[50] Stratosfear,[51] and Encore.[51] In 1983, the band's Christopher Franke asked Mellotronics if they could produce a digital model, as the group migrated towards using samplers.[52]
Though the Mellotron was not extensively used in the 1980s, a number of bands featured it as a prominent instrument. One of the few UK post-punk bands to do so was Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, who featured it heavily on their platinum-selling 1981 album Architecture & Morality. Andy McCluskey has stated they used the Mellotron because they were starting to run into limitations of the cheap monophonic synthesizers they had used up to that point. He bought a second-hand M400 and was immediately impressed with the strings and choir sounds.[53] XTC's Dave Gregory recalls seeing bands using Mellotrons when growing up in the 1970s, and thought it would be an interesting addition to the group's sound. He bought a second-hand model in 1982 for £165, and first used it on the album Mummer.[54] IQ's Martin Orford bought a second hand M400 and used it primarily for visual appeal rather than musical quality or convenience.[55]
The Mellotron received notable publicity in 1995 for its use on Oasis' album (What's the Story) Morning Glory?[56] The instrument was played by both Noel Gallagher and Paul Arthurs on several tracks, but a particularly prominent use was the cello sound on the hit single "Wonderwall", played by Arthurs.[57] Radiohead asked Streetly Electronics to restore and repair a model for them in 1997,[58] and recorded with it on several tracks for their album OK Computer.[59]
Spock's Beard's Ryo Okumoto is a noted fan of the Mellotron, saying it characterises the sound of the band.[60] Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson has acquired one of King Crimson's old Mellotrons[61] and in 2013 gave a demonstration of the instrument in celebration of its 50th anniversary.[62]
Other alternate versions of the Mellotron were manufactured by competitors in the early to mid-1970s. The Mattel Optigan was a toy keyboard designed to be used in the home, that played back sounds using optical discs.[63] This was followed by the Vako Orchestron in 1975, which used a more professional sounding version of the same technology. Its most notable user was Patrick Moraz.[64]

Nielsen: iPhone 4S launch was "enormous"
With all the lines here in the US and overseas, we knew the iPhone 4S was going to be a tremendous hit. Now, a Nielsen survey from December gives us some numbers to support this observation. According to the survey, 44.5 percent of smartphone buyers bought an iPhone in December. This number is up from the 25.1 percent who bought an iPhone in the pre-4S month of October. It's also remarkably close to the 46.9 percent who bought an Android device.
The majority of buyers (57 percent) chose the iPhone 4S over the iPhone 4 or the 3GS. This surge in iPhone 4S sales had a profound impact on Android. Google's mobile OS still edges out iOS (46.9 percent versus 44.5 percent), but its share of new phone sales has fallen from 61.6 percent in October. As pointed out by Phillip Elmer De-Witt of Fortune's Apple 2.0 blog, these Nielsen results are not unique; a similar trend was recorded by NPD last month.
Though the single iPhone 4S couldn't overtake the plethora of Android handsets, it did grab a substantial chunk when Android had a strong profile of available handsets. All the carriers have more than one Android handset, and Samsung launched the flagship Galaxy Nexus with Verizon during the month. Despite this high profile launch, Android numbers slid, while iOS gained.

Rikshaw Design Will Make Your Tot the Cutest Kid on the Beach
We've long been fans of Rikshaw Design's breezy bohemian line of block-printed Indian cotton voile children's bedding and beachwear for moms and kids. Last year, Rikshaw introduced several pieces of beautiful women's loungewear, and this year, the kids' line expands with the addition of Jon Jons for little boys, an adorable tunic-shaped sundress, and several new beach-ready prints.
Inspired by the vibrant shades of Jaipur, India (where artisans block-print Rikshaw's line by hand), the Spring/Summer collection is full of tropical, punchy color. Deeply saturated hues of pink, tangerine, lime, and aqua run throughout, making the look absolutely perfect for your Spring-break travels, or upcoming Summer weekends at the beach.

Thank you Sheriff, very well put. Glad this is almost completely behind you now. It was such a joy to watch the people of Brunswick county vote Gore out and end his plastic career. It's equally as funny to see the political scum try to devise laws to keep you from running again, knowing full well that if you could again run, you would win. It was also humorus to see the current sheriff change his political affilation in hopes he would defeat Mr. Mcdaniels knowing if Mr. McDaniels had made it to the main election, he wouldn't had a chance in hades to win.So you know you have this countys support and we all wish you and your family the very best in all your endeavors ! Oh yea, watch out for the maggotts, there's still alot of them around............................... »

LATHROP – The accident earlier this week at the three-way intersection south of Lathrop Elementary School which seriously injured a school teacher's young son has renewed calls from concerned residents to correct traffic problems at that busy location.
Sierra High grad Andrea Ramirez – homeless for several years – is going to San Jose State University to become a nurse. Her desire is to be a pediatric nurse so she can hopefully touch the lives of children as she has already done in Manteca and Lathrop.
There's richness in our everyday life – seen through the hearts and souls of others – if we only keep our eyes open and stay alert to the warmth in our fellow man.
Breakfast with Manteca's chief of police is on tap for the second month in a row Saturday morning at the Waffle Shop on North Main Street.
LATHROP – Family and friends of the late Jeremy Lum are inviting the public to a "peaceful candlelight gathering" to mark the 30th day of his passing.
RIPON – The Clarence Smit Museum, which has long been too small for the Ripon Historical Society to display all of their precious community artifacts, is about to get the space that they've always wanted.
STOCKTON - The San Joaquin County Agricultural Commissioner's Office announced today, a West Nile Virus horse fatality is the first in San Joaquin County for 2009. Although the Agricultural Commissioner recommends all horses receive the WNV vaccine, the horse had not previously been vaccinated.
LATHROP – The public is invited to attend a Relay for Life "Bunco Night" fund-raiser to be held Friday, Aug. 7, in the cafeteria at Lathrop High School. The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. All proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society.
LATHROP – Lathrop's newest bank, the Community Banks of Northern California, is inviting area residents to come and "meet, greet and eat" with the bank personnel on Saturday, Aug. 8. The bank will host the barbecue starting at 11 a.m. Community Banks of Northern California, a full-service bank, is located at 210 Towne Centre Drive, just east of City Hall in the Mossdale Landing and behind Target store.
In a story about a local skateboard company getting off the ground that ran in the Thursday, July 30 edition of the Manteca Bulletin, the longtime friend of company owner Frank Alvarado that was taken by cancer was Katy McKenzie – not Katie McKenzie as was mentioned in the story. It was ovarian cancer that claimed her life, not breast cancer as reported.
Del Webb in Manteca is a unique community of retired folks who have come together much as a family – all very evident at Tuesday's National Night Out parties.
James Carpenter and James Steen go out of their way for National Night Out.
Tuowanda Salgado knows exactly how hard it is to get your identity back once somebody gains access to your crucial credit information.

Greg Lewis and Michael Parmenter sat in a table for two halfway between the bar and the main dining area of Finley's Bar and Grill. The two friends from Stockton are having lunch on the last day of 2014. They are among the regulars who have discovered this out-of-the-way modest-looking bar and grill on Airport Way between Lathrop Road and French Camp Road.
The North Pointe Specific Plan is a major project taking place in northeast Ripon.
STOCKTON - Former Chief Deputy District Attorney Michael Mulvihill will take the oath of office on Thursday, Jan. 22, as San Joaquin County's newest Superior Court Judge.

Perhaps the only thing that changes more rapidly than technology in today's amped-up digital environment is the terminology used to describe that technology and its impact on consumers--and marketers. One recent example is the advent of the term "omnichannel" marketing, which many struggle to differentiate from another relatively recent term--"multichannel" marketing. Still, those who are most enmeshed in the field say there is a key distinction between the two, and it's one that will have an impact on marketers as they continue to seek ways of having a meaningful impact on the consumers they hope to engage. And, importantly, it's less about technology than it may seem.

ProQuest Information and Learning has acquired Nineteenth Century Short-Title Catalogue List (NSTC), a bibliographic database that catalogs the 19th-century holdings of eight of the world's research libraries. The libraries include: The British Library, the Bodleian Library (Oxford), the Cambridge University Library, Trinity College Dublin, the National Library of Scotland, the Newcastle University Library, plus holdings from 1816 to 1919 of the Harvard University Library and the Library of Congress. NSTC was formerly owned and maintained by ABC-CLIO, who moved NSTC from multiple CD-ROMs and integrated them to make them searchable across the series on the Web. ProQuest Information and Learning, a unit of ProQuest Company, creates and publishes databases for libraries and educational institutions worldwide.
NSTC includes bibliographic records of well-known and obscure works of literature, important translations, legal documents, political pamphlets, medical and scientific monographs, journals, and periodicals. Records for more than 1.2 million titles published in the United Kingdom and the United States between 1801 and 1919 are included. NSTC was originally developed by Avero Publications, beginning in 1983 and completed in 2002. It is now available from ProQuest, and in the coming months, NSTC will be upgraded for delivery through a new Chadwyck-Healey interface. ProQuest will maintain and update the catalog's content.
ProQuest has previously developed Early English Books Online, a Web-based, full-page image database of all books printed in English dating from 1473 to 1700. The bases of that collection were The Short-Title Catalogue (Pollard & Redgrave, 1473-1640) and The Short-Title Catalogue II (Wing, 1641-1700). ProQuest collaborated with the academic community to produce Early English Books Online, most notably with the formation of the Text Creation Partnership, which has undertaken the creation of structured SGML/XML text editions for a significant portion of the collection. ProQuest has already digitized a significant volume of 19th-century publications within collections such as Literature Online, the Gerritsen Collection, American Periodicals Collection Online, and PCI Full Text and has extensive microform holdings, including its Nineteenth Century General Collection published in cooperation with the British Library.

Hello guys, how is everyone? Brightleaf tobacco is what we call virginia. (it's in wikipedia so it must be correct!) Are the different kinds that exist, produced only from changing the curing process? OR are there different Brightleaf plants that produce these different types? I got a lot of tobaccos from AndyLowry and Black and the virginias taste different. I think they are red virginias - like Hal o The Wynd ? I 've seen lemon virgnia somewhere online as well. What does that mean? Thanks a lot bluepipe
Lemon Virginia is a type of Virginia, like orange, orange-red and red Virginia, are all different types of Virginia leaf, most of these come from the middle and old belt regions of the Carolina's and Virginia and when flue cured have a citrusy-tangy flavor profile which most people refer to as a high note Virginia.
So all of these types are actually different kinds of tobacco plants? Flue curing is when there is heat but no smoke right?
Unable to find now, but there is an article that breaks them down by looks and taste. You may want to try and search for it.
That would be helpful. There are some blends that I like and I need to know what's in them. They just say virginia though - but which kind?
On the top of my head right now G&H No.2 flake. Glengarry. McBarens Virginia blend... These are the ones I remember I like and they just say virginia. (I've looked up Marlin and HOTW and found out what's in them)
I think G&H's Virginia leaf is grown on the African continent...the soil and climate differences make for a slightly different flavor and strength profile than the same plants grown in the US. Another distinction you may find useful. Or not.
From the little I have gathered and remembered, yes, soil composition, along with many tangible and seemingly intangible factors are what cause there to be differences we pipe smokers can pick up. A geneticist, OTOH, may well notice nothing.
African tobaccos are all radioactive mutants, and therefore delicious. Bluepipe, that McClelland Virginia you have is #5100 "Red Cake." I'm sure I read somewhere sometime that it was a mix of three types, but now I can't find any info on it, so I may be suffering from a memory fault. More RAM won't help, I've already tried.
Correct. In the cigar world, soil composition separates the hugely sought-after Cuban cigars from the Dominican, Honduran, Mexican, Nicaraguan, etc cigars. No magic beans, just soil and climate.

I travel a lot for my work, I'm a video and installation artist
Joan has completed online and offline ID verification.
Joan was fabulous, so much fun and so many of the world's problems solved over a spontaneous bottle of bubbles one night. Joan was my first airbnb guest and has set the benchmark of the perfect house guest. Dixon (my wee dog) thought all his birthday's had come at once with Joan staying. Definately would welcome Joan into my house again and loved the bespoke art installation as a parting gift from Joan.

Washington-Harris Group (WHG), of Greenbelt, Maryland, protests the award of a contract to Skyline Ultd Inc., of Round Rock, Texas, under request for proposals (RFP) No. W9133L-09-R-0001, issued by the Department of the Army, Army National Guard Bureau (NGB), for case management and administrative services. WHG argues that the agency improperly gave evaluation credit to Skyline as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), even though Skyline's proposal appears to state that its subcontractor will perform more than 50 percent of the contract requirements.
We deny the protest.

She loves to draw, has a very strong sense of her style and a gentle grace that's incredibly endearing. Luminous skin and legs that need stroking, get to know her as she undresses just for you. Enjoy!
A retro beauty with a taste for the bold, new model Nadja has a treat in store for those who love nylons and all things clingy!
Her mustard tights get pulled this way and that as her fingers explore the warm, tight crevices on the other side of the waist band... A yummy, exotic solo from a model you will see a lot more of soon!

A South Jersey resident for better than 30 years, I'm a strong believer in family.

High school sports and all it encompasses - the kids, the coaches, the schools - is something I'm passionate about and it's my goal to provide readers with the most honest and objective reporting possible. In this day and age, covering high school sports goes way beyond Xs and Os. E-mail Kevin
