WALHALLA, s. C.
And aller all lhere are but few
mistakes made indeed if there be
any thal cannot bo turned to ad
vantage, and for good, if wo will hut
view them rightly.
Rlsowhcre in this issue we publish
tl very timely and greatly appreciated
article from Dr. ti. W. Chi rd tier, of
Greenwood. While it is in tonsure
of the editor of The Courier we can
say with all honesty thal il is highly
appreciated hy us and not only thal,
but that the rebuke is merited.
For lo these many years tho editor
of The Courier has guarded tho col
umns of Tho Courier uga I ns I tho ap
pearance In them of matter thal
might offend any right-thinking per
son or appear as bordering on sacre
lige or irreverence. The thought has
come to us that. In some measure at
least we have not altogether failed
in our efforts, as witness the quick
-and again we say merited-rebuke
that came lo us when hundreds of
similar things are appearing almost
daily and weekly in other papers and
pass unnoticed. Wo are glad to know
that we have friends and readers
equa" * 'nf .tty of our
man in non tn Carolina tutu Wa uoiici
than does our friend Dr. Gardner the
constant vigilance necessary to the
publication of a clean newspaper. It
Is almost a daily occurrence that the
editor linds himself under the neces
sity of consigning to tho waste-basket
some aritcle that it is best should
never bo seen in print. We lei one
pass us, un though tedly, In the rush
of other things that have demanded
our attention and absorhed our very
best thought and judgment--and we
became careless, or thoughtless, or
insensible, for tho moment, to the
very pointedly irreverent strain of
the article in question; though to
day, as at the time thc parody was
handed to us. we are prepared to say
that the gentleman who wrote il is,
and was, as guiltless of sacreligious
intent as were we in publishing lt. lt
is our estimate of the man from long
observation and acquaintance, that
he is one of the best and mosl con
scientious of our good cilizens, aud
we are cortalnly ready to acquit him
of any wrong Intent. His daily in
fluence ls for good, and we know
that he will take the criticisms as we
readily take them, in good part, and
that they will serve to strengthen
his watchfulness in the future.
We have so long slood on guard
thal wo had, possibly become less
vigilant than ordinarily is our habit,
and a "culprit" slipped by our guard.
Hence Ibo heading we have chosen
for this statement: "Let Him ? . *
Take Heed'' Let him that thinkcth
he standet!) take heed lest he fall.

Iiis ur her small contribution. Some:
gifts arc large, hut tho need is vastly ?
larger than tho great and small gifts
combined so far, and probably will
be for some tinto lo come:

The handsome donation of $200
by tho Seneca Red Cross Chapter will
doubtless inspire other organizations
to take kindly to this wonderful
work of love for tho little ones who
are the victims of the cruel fate of
war. Wo cannot commend too highly
tho thoughtfulness of those In charge
of this noble organization al Seneca.

Notes were found at the scene of the crime alleging that Islam was the motivation, with the author claiming a link to the terrorist group Islamic State. But prosecutors in Germany allege a completely different rationale. They say that the suspect, a 28-year-old man, had borrowed money and taken out put options, which would benefit from a decline in Borussia Dortmund shares (which fell 3% on the day after the attack).
As yet, the suspect has not been convicted. But if true, the story would seem to come straight out of Hollywood. In the film "Casino Royale", James Bond (as played by Daniel Craig) foils a plot to blow up an airliner owned by the fictional firm Skyfleet, after villain Hugo le Chiffre had sold the company's shares short (ie, bet on their price to fall). In "The Fear index", a Robert Harris novel, a hedge fund's trading programme shorts an airline's stock just before a fatal crash. It was rumoured, after the September 11…Continue reading

Annabeth Leong
I've always been a writer, and I've always been obsessed with sex, but it didn't occur to me to put the two together until after I'd gotten a graduate degree in writing and spent years working as a journalist.
I had a friend who obviously had something to say with his writing, and I wondered if I did as well. I sat down and gave myself permission to find out. The result was "Robot Lovers Prey on the Lonely," and it dismayed me. It was far too dirty, I thought, and so girly and mushy (which, at the time, were bad words to me).
It turns out, however, that most of what I have to say as a writer is about sex, in all its wonderful, messy glory. I am frequently confused about my sexuality and sexual desires, but that just gives me more to think and write about.
My work has appeared in dozens of anthologies and counting, including Best Bondage Erotica 2013 (Cleis), Girl Crush: Women's Erotic Fantasies (Cleis), Dirty Little Numbers (Go Deeper), and Whispers in Darkness: Lovecraftian Erotica (Circlet). I've also written a number of standalone erotic novels and novellas for publishers such as Sweetmeats Press, Loose Id, and Forbidden Fiction. I am a proud contributor to various publications put out by the erotic altruists at Coming Together. My work ranges from sweet erotic romance to no-holds-barred fetish erotica, and includes a variety of gender pairings. I have a particular interest in solo stories (because people have sex lives even when they're alone).
I now live in Providence, Rhode Island, but was born in Hawaii and have spent time in many other states between now and then. I buy more books than I should, am a sucker for whatever food I've never tried, and enjoy violent sports.

C. Sanchez-Garcia
Ashe whiles away her time in the wilds of West Yorkshire, in the north of England, writing smutty books and drinking Earl Grey tea. At the last count she had over thirty titles on general release, many featuring BDSM, always hot, with complex characters and compelling plots. Ashe writes MM and Mf, contemporary and historical, with the occasional threesome thrown in.
When not writing Ashe enjoys messing around with digital photography, reading erotic stories, pole dancing (though not especially well), walking her dogs, and listening to Bon Jovi. Loud.
I love to hear from readers. You can find me on my blog, and on the Totally Bound site. I'm on Facebook, and twitter and now on Tsu as well. I'm on Pinterest too, and Goodreads

Cameron D. James
Cameron D. James is a life-long lover of books, voraciously reading everything from the classics to sci-fi, romance to science and nature, and thrillers to erotica. Understandably, a love of books led to a love of writing, having penned his first story in grade seven (about stolen baseball cards). Having written millions of words by now, Cameron now focuses on one of his favourite genres — gay erotica.
Cameron is a fan of Star Trek, having seen every episode of every series (including the animated series) and every movie at least twice. In addition to Star Trek, Cameron also loves physical exercise and seeing how far he can push his body. He's taken kickboxing, Bikram hot yoga (that's the super hot and tough one), diving, personal training at the gym, and likes his regular Wii workouts (seriously, they're a lot more intense than they look).
Other interests include listening to electronica music (particularly Armin Van Buuren), puttering around the house (and attempting to grow a garden), and gawking at cute twink baristas at the various coffee shops where he's such a regular that he's known by first name.

Daddy X
He survived the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and George W. Bush. He maintained a determined, if unstable trajectory throughout Catholic school, a paper route, muskrat trapping, a steel mill, Bucks County, the Haight Ashbury, North Beach, Castro Street, the Mendocino Coast, the SF bar business, drug addiction, alcoholism, a stroke, Hep C, cancer, a liver transplant, a year of chemo, a stickup at his ancient and tribal art gallery while tied to his desk (not as cool as it sounds), a triple bypass, and George W. Bush.
Now he's old, and it's time to get dirty.
Daddy is currently published by Naughty Nights Press, House of Erotica, and is featured in Cleis Press' Best Bondage Erotica 2015. He is a frequent contributor to the Erotica Readers and Writers Association where he serves as Gallery editor. Many of Daddy's works are also available in the ERWA Treasure Chest.

Willsin Rowe falls in love with a scent, a playful expression or an act of casual intimacy more easily than with physical beauty. When confronted by any combination of these he is a lost cause.
He has done many things over and over. He has done even more things only once. He has half-done more things than he cares to admit.
He is intelligent but not sensible. He is polite but inappropriate. He is passionate but fearful. He is honest but reticent. He is not scruffy enough nor stylish enough to be cool.
Willsin has worked concurrently as a musician and graphic designer for almost three decades, and as a sought-after cover artist since 2009, with many Amazon Top 100 covers to his credit.

Glasgow City Council has withdrawn 24 5ft fibreglass models of Games mascot Clyde away from public display, after one of the iconic figures was stolen from its plinth in Govan.
The theft has spoiled the plans of people aiming to "do the Clyde Trail" and visit all 25 figurines.
Meanwhile the QR code on some figurines was defaced, making it impossible for people to access an app showing the location of all the models on the Trail.
Clyde was designed by Cumbernauld schoolgirl Beth Gilmour (pictured).

When it comes to dating in Washington, there's always an excuse to put it on the backburner. Wall Street reform keeps you in the office late, or campaign season has hit full stride, or the FBI just announced it's investigating your boss. Hattie Elliot, a new matchmaker in town, has a proposal for those who've thus far let their professional ambitions crowd out their romantic pursuits: Let her do the dirty work for you.
The native New Yorker recently launched her Save the Date(ing) organization with a single-malt Scotch tasting at the Alex Gallery in Northwest Washington. Part of the idea was to reconcile normally irreconcilable Democrats and Republicans, who came together with artists and even a break-dancing attorney in a casual, relaxed atmosphere the likes of which you won't find at a committee hearing on derivatives. Elliot, who now splits her time between New York's West Village and Capitol Hill, spoke with The Hill about how she hopes to save dating in Washington.
Q: Why did you decide to come to Washington?
Personally, I've always really loved D.C., so I thought this'd be a great excuse to get to know the city a little bit more.
Q: You had your first event here recently. How'd it go?
It was brilliant. It was really great. The way that it started in New York — and I've been very consistent — it started with my friends and personal contacts and their friends.
Here in D.C. — I don't live here, so I went to top people in the Democratic Party and had them nominate people and to top people in the Republican Party and had them nominate people. Movers and shakers. Then I went to people in the legal industry, and then I went to people, like an architect friend of mine, and I really tried to put together a diverse, dynamic group.
The people I had at [the] event were incredible. We got a tour of the gallery — and we continued on our merry way with the single-malt tasting. And it was merry.
Q: The people you reached out to — how'd they react?
The response here was absolutely incredible. Every person I reached out to here got back to me. This woman, who was gorgeous, said, "I just got into a relationship, but this kind of makes me want to get out of it."
I think people here are just yearning to meet people outside of their social circle and outside of their office.
As a result, we were able to put together an incredible group of individuals. At one table, there was one guy who had a green company, and there was a lawyer, and a diplomat, and a scientist who studied bugs, and a venture capitalist, and a woman who owns a chain of clothing stores here in D.C.
Q: How many people were there?
There were 32 people at the event. We try to keep the events between, I would say, 26 on the smaller side to 40 on the larger side, and it's all [an] evenly matched male-to-female ratio.
Q: Did you have congressional staffers and White House staffers?
Yes, we did. We had people from both [the Obama and George W. Bush] administrations, if you can believe it.
I have very strong political views. I'm personally very liberal, but I really felt it was important in D.C. ... to mix up people from different parties so they were at tables together.
And I have to say, it was great. Again, I got so many comments throughout the night that people had such a great time. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with people getting to know each other. ... Taking those labels away was a great thing to do, and I completely intend to do that again.
People will say in New York, "I will not date Brooklyn." It's kind of a joke. Here it might be, "I won't date a Republican." But making sure the group was diverse politically here was really important to me.
Q:What are you hearing Washingtonians say are the biggest difficulties in dating in this city?
One definitely is that, if you work on the Hill and if you're in politics, it's all about who you know. It's very clique-y, and people will stick to people either in the office or the same political party, and the only time people will go outside of that is to make a connection that's beneficial to their career.
Also, it's very transient. A couple of the new members are diplomats, and so they travel a lot, but they want to just make strong connections. So a lot of people really wanted to join to make a strong connection here and make it their home.
Time is people's most valuable asset, and so figuring out how to allocate it and make time for their personal lives is a big issue.
Q:How do you plan to recruit members from this point?
We get a lot of people through referrals, and we really value that. That's why we try to get really good people in the door to begin with. Presently I interview 15 to 20 people per day here, and we have about a 40 percent acceptance rate.
Q:What's the screening process like?
It's kind of like casual coffee. And it's worked really well. Usually within the first five minutes, I know whether the person would be a good fit. If they're pretentious and a snob and unfriendly, I have no interest in them being part of the group.
It's like going on 15 to 20 first dates every day. When you join, you're going to spend the evening with people who have already been vetted, so I do the dirty work. I do the dirty work and grunt work of going on those 15 dates so that you don't have to.
Q :Did you see any potential matches at your event last week?
Oh, yeah. I kind of got a sense early on. I met this one high-powered corporate attorney, but she takes break-dancing classes on the side. You'd never know. And then I happened to meet a guy who's a doctor ... who takes voice lessons and who's really into hip-hop. And so I kind of strategically sat them together. And there was definitely some sparkage when they discovered their hidden talents. There was definitely some romance in the air last night — as well as women and men exchanging numbers to hang out. They discovered they live nearby or their offices are nearby.
Save the Date(ing)'s next Washington events are a margarita party on May 5, trapeze lessons on May 12 and sushi-making class on May 26. For details, go to www.savethedating.com.

The results showed that on average five or six children in every classroom are burdened by mental, physical or emotional symptoms related to stressful events in their lives outside school, regardless of race, family income or neighborhood.
The screening was the first extensive survey of student exposure to trauma in the district, which welcomed the researchers and training they are bringing to schools to identify and support students.
It was part of a larger scientific study by education researchers at SRI International to test the effectiveness of school-based group therapy to improve student coping skills and in turn academic performance.
Seven of the district's 13 middle schools are participating in the first year of the four-year, $3.4 million study funded by the U.S. Department of Education. About 613 incoming sixth-graders, about 40 percent of the students in that category, were surveyed.
At Aptos Middle School, a high-performing school in the Balboa Terrace neighborhood, about half of the sixth-graders who took the survey reported experiencing at least one significant traumatic event.
"I just felt we needed to find out," said Aptos Principal Doug Dent. "There's a lot of behavior (among students) that didn't make a lot of sense to adults."
Students have been known to storm out of class for no apparent reason; overreact to minor encounters; yell or get in frequent fights; or get angry when asked to remove a coat or a hat. Others simply withdraw, refusing to participate or engage, teachers and administrators said.
"They can't benefit from the education they're getting," said Carl Sumi, senior education researcher at SRI, an independent research institute in Menlo Park.

In a recent YouTube video, The Huffington Post highlighted just how many backhanded compliments and other crazy questions women have lobbed at them on a daily basis that would never, ever be presented to men. From "stop being so dramatic" to "you're so exotic, where are you from?" the video features 48 women reiterating many quips women and girls face that make them feel self-conscious about their intelligence, emotional stability, physical appearance and basically just being a female in general.
More: English football scores another own goal with a dose of #EverydaySexism
One of the most jarring things about the video is the age span of the women featured. From elementary school to retirement, there's no escaping offensive statements.
Of course, there are already numerous YouTube users commenting things like "half of these are compliments," but it's important people realize some of these so-called compliments — backhanded or not — make the receiver feel extremely uncomfortable. For instance, when someone says, "You'd be much prettier if you smiled," they might think they are encouraging someone to be happier, but in reality, the receiver probably hears, "I don't like your face."

5Cat S.
"Mr. West is very professional, knowledgable and patient. My twelve year old son actually got more out of one lesson with him than from the several lessons received by his Juilliard trained private instructor. Maturity definitely counts and Mr West has that."5John S.
"I'm trying vocal performance for the first time, having done instrumental some years ago. Tom has been very helpful in instructing me in the various ways that voice differs from instrumental performance. As an amateur, I feel I am starting to advance in my technique. I highly recommend Tom."4Shawn P.
"Tom has proven himself over the years to be an excellent teacher, both one on one and in group settings. I consider him to be one of the best vocal directors that I have ever worked with, and I know that if you take lessons from him, you will learn and grow in positive ways."5James C.
"Tom is a great guy and a superb musical coach. The musicality and structure he helped me develop led to my acceptance to one of the top music schools in the country, multiple awards and a full-time career as a performance music. You'd be nuts to pass over Tom."5Matt G.

I would be challenged to remember the last time I saw any business receive as much support while out of business as Indian Joe Brewing (2123 Industrial Court, Vista). The family-run operation abruptly shut down when it lost its base of operations to landlord disputes in 2015. Owners Max Moran and Geri Lawson immediately got to work looking for a new spot to install their brewery, but it took a while—two years to be exact. In a county with more than 140 operating brewhouses, there's little reason for even the most devoted of beer-drinkers to hold a candle for the return of one of the smallest of the suds scene's sojourners, but hundreds of Indian Joe fans remained just that…fans. Not the casually interested kind, but the most engaged breed of supporters, communicating with the owners over social media and in-person when possible, following them as they sought out a new facility and, after finding it, took on the task of not only reopening, but growing the business by leaps and bounds in the process. The result is the current iteration of Indian Joe, which opened in March and is fulfilling the long-entertained dreams of Moran, Lawson and the many hopeful beer enthusiasts crowding their corner.
During the lengthy road to Indian Joe 2.0, I also stayed close to the business' founders, visiting the project site and wondering just how much of their ambitious agenda they would actually be able to realize. Installing a 15-barrel brewing system, an extensive stainless steel cellar, tons of oak barrels for aging and a huge tasting room; taking over an abutting building for warehouse space; distributing throughout the county in kegs, bottles and cans. Keep in mind, they were coming from a business-park brewery where Moran brewed several times a day on a meager 20-gallon system simply to keep beer on-tap at the sole source of consumption, Indian Joe's tasting room. It was nicely appointed and featured many an outlandish brew that, frankly, weren't for everybody. It wasn't exactly the type of operation one would figure to be ripe for financial backing and expansion, but Moran and Lawson easily secured enthusiastic financing to take things to the next level. While permitting and construction of their new spot proved much more difficult, a recent visit reveals they've accomplished many of their goals and are on-track to breathe life into the rest.
Indian Joe has a whopping 30 beers on-tap. That's admirable—but only if the beers are of quality. Quantity is nothing without quality. After tasting through more than half of the offerings the day I was there, I can say that Indian Joe's beers taste better than at any point in the company's history. What makes that even more impressive is the range of styles and the retaining of the anything-goes approach that birthed oddities like a Margarita Gose aged in tequila barrels; blueberry, plum and ginger sour ale; and honey-oatmeal tripel with Vietnamese and Ethiopian Baraka Buna coffees. What to the beer-purist (and even some adventurous drinkers) sounds like a rundown of the tap-list at an insane asylum…wait for it…tastes rather nice. Sure, you have to be in the mood for something avant-garde, but I often am and enjoyed all three of these beers in addition to an "imperial red sour" with blackberries and black currants, "Indian Sunrise" blood orange and sweet cherry Gose and apricot-peach sour. All three are ideally suited for the hot-weather months just around the corner.
But not all of the beers are weird at Indian Joe. There's a Belgian-style witbier (which also comes infused with lime or tangerine), a robust porter (another version of which is available spiked with chocolate and hazelnut) and a variety of IPAs, including a double, a flagship infused with white sage and, to show they can fall in line with the best of them, a Northeast-style number for the haze-crazy. The IPAs are better than the ones I remember from the original Indian Joe. The increase in overall quality isn't just the result of purchasing new, larger, more state-of-the-art equipment. Moran and Lawson brought on a head brewer, Grant Heuer, who last brewed at Temecula's Refuge Brewery and Relentless Brewing as well as Las Vegas' Big Dogs Brewing. In addition to bringing experience, he has also brought brewers and brewing ingredients from Riverside County (where he still resides) to the table, resulting in collaboration beers (including that hazy IPA created with Electric Brewing) and the java from Augie's Coffee utilized in the aforementioned out-there tripel and Indian Joe's imperial oatmeal coffee stout.
Also upgraded is the environment in which the beers can be experienced. Indian Joe's 4,000 square foot tasting is one of the largest in the county. Visitors can drink at the long downstairs bar, high-tables or an outdoor patio…and that's just the ground floor. There's an L-shaped upstairs area with windows looking out onto State Route 78, a rail bar and numerous plush leather couches. Moran and Lawson clearly made the most of all the time they spent waiting on agencies to respond and construction issues to be resolved. The immense amount of time was worth it and the faith in these entrepreneurs from their loyal fans well placed.
Native American-owned family business Indian Joe Brewing was a hit in a municipality drenched in craft-beer. Despite capacity issues, the small Vista brewery gained a cult-following while pushing the envelope beyond the limits of conventional beer. It was a sweet success story squashed by landlord issues roughly two years into the business' existence. But owners Max Moran and Geri Lawson were determined to carry on. Come January 23, they will open the doors to Indian Joe Brewing 2.0 (2123 Industrial Court, Vista), a much larger, two-story facility with a double-decker tasting room, outdoor patio and lots more beer. We caught up with Lawson to find out what's in store for long lost fans and newcomers alike.
What is a key difference for Indian Joe Brewing this time around?
The second coming of Indian Joe is going to be awesome; the same great people, the same great beers, but with more convenience and a lot more capacity. We were so fortunate to have so many loyal fans and followers at the old facility. We just couldn't keep up with the demand. We regularly brewed around-the-clock, praying not to hear that dreaded burst of foamy air come through the tap-head, signaling another blown keg in our small tasting room. When the new Indian Joe opens, we will not only have the capacity to satisfy loyal patrons of our tasting room, but we will have the ability to bottle or can the customer-favorites for distribution.
What are the advantages of your new brewing system?
The new brewhouse includes the best industry tools and equipment, which are capable of producing 60 times the beer that our old system could. This includes a state-of-the-art water treatment and analytics system so that precise water profiles can be used on each and every batch. Not only do we have the additional capacity we so desperately needed to produce our great beers, but we also have the additional space required to hold our fruit-beers and sours isolated from our standard IPAs, stouts, porters and our other ales to ensure customers get served the highest quality product available.
Please tell us about the new brewer you hired.
Max is teaming up with Grant Heuer, who developed his expertise in brewing at Big Dogs Brewing Company in Las Vegas, and closer to home at Refuge Brewery and Relentless Brewing, both of which are in Temecula. He's a native Texan, but went to college in Holland, which helped him achieve a very broad palate and earn his Cicerone certification. We chose Grant because, not only does he have a fun-loving, outgoing personality (similar to us), but he's very knowledgeable on a variety of beer styles. Grant's passion is IPAs, and he loves a variety of hop, so expect to see lots of IPA offerings. But he also loves wild sours as much as we do, so expect to see plenty of those. If you have a chance to meet Grant, you'll see why we love him.
What will the public component of the new facility be like?
We are as excited about the added capacity and technology that the new campus brings as we are about the new tasting room. It was important that we not lose that close-knit, comfortable "speakeasy" feel of the old tasting room, so it was considered with every decision on the new tasting room. Amenities will accommodate all types of consumers, and include a private-event space, huge-screen TVs, high-fidelity digital audio, heated outdoor patio, high-capacity restrooms, pub tables and loungers, all of which are ADA accessible. For those of you that came to our old location and loved our beers, you can expect our Joe Rita, White Sage IPA, our award-winning Apricot/Peach Hefeweizen, as well as our award-winning Mango Sour to be ready and waiting to tantalize your taste buds.
The rumors of Indian Joe's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Such is the case in a realm as prone to rumors as San Diego's craft beer industry. Despite asserting Indian Joe Brewing Company would be back even before they closed the doors to their Vista brewery and tasting room this February, owners Max Moran and Geri Lawson heard many first- and second-hand misinformation that their business was dead. But like the ringing of a bell by a mistakenly buried but plenty lively individual, the couple has proof of life in the form of a banner proclaiming Indian Joe's return on the façade of its new building at Vista's Industrial Court business park.
Two stories and coming in at 18,000 square feet, Moran's and Lawson's new spot is far larger than its predecessor. This will allow for the installation of a 15-barrel brewing system from Premier Stainless, another component that's much bigger than what came before. Back at Indian Joe's old spot on La Mirada Drive, Moran was brewing several times a day, seven days a week on a meager 20-gallon system. When opening the business he thought it would be sufficient, remembering a similar setup he saw at Mother Earth Brew Co., but soon discovered it wasn't sustainable. The problem was, the La Mirada facility wasn't big enough to house a system and cellar of significant size. In spite of that, they were determined to stay in their building until they found a new home, but a series of contentious dealings with their landlord led to them having to vacate quickly and unexpectedly, leading to the rumors that Indian Joe had gone out of business despite having a strong following of loyalists and interest from outside investors wanting to take the brand to the next level.
To their former regulars, Moran and Lawson emphatically promise to recreate the very same fun, relaxed, inviting and entertaining experience they were able to establish at their old digs. Best of all, they'll have a lot more room in which to provide that type of ambiance. Upon entering the building, visitors will find themselves on the bottom floor of a two-story tasting room measuring around 4,000 total square feet. Two-thirds of that area is downstairs where a long bar running the length of the south wall is being constructed to include more than 20 taps. A gift shop is being built to the left of that, and a 190-inch (not a typo) Samsung big-screen will be mounted on the wall between the retail and bar areas. Two staircases (and eventually a lift for handicapped patrons) lead upstairs to an area that will have a separate bar and get outfitted in cushy furniture providing a homey feel.
The entire north side of the upstairs level is outfitted with windows looking out onto State Route 78. The best part of that, for Moran and Lawson, is that just as that east-west thoroughfare is visible to them, Indian Joe will be easy to see off the freeway. That was a big part of the appeal of the building. Moran reports that a total of 480,000 vehicles pass by their new home per day. Other positives include the fact that the entire building is air-conditioned, solar equipment is installed to assist with utility efficiency, there is a large upstairs room they will be able to convert to private event space, there is plenty of parking and the City of Vista will allow them to construct outdoor seating just beyond the front entrance which will be serviceable by mobile food vendors.
On the industrial side, Moran intends to hire a head brewer to help fill 60- and 30-barrel fermenters. With the ability to brew much more beer, Moran will work to secure distribution, and bottle and can Indian Joe beers for the first time. Having more beer will also allow for a simple but important first—filling growlers. Back when he was producing a single keg at a time, Moran was unable to sell beer-to-go for fear of running out too quickly and leaving his tasting room taps dry. Beers that will be produced when Indian Joe reopens will be a mixture of to-style brews and more outlandish creations. So it'll be same as it ever was come Indian Joe's second coming.

Katy Perry claims ''walking genius'' Russell Brand has been a good influence on her, but admits she feels pressured to keep up with his reputation as a sex god
Katy Perry feels under pressure to be a sex goddess - because she is with Russell Brand.
The 'I Kissed A Girl' singer says it's a struggle trying to keep up with her fiance, who was previously famed for his womanising ways, but she tries her best.
She said: "Can you imagine the kind of responsibility I have with his reputation? I'm bedridden most of the week."
The 25-year-old star - who has been dating the British funnyman since last September - also believes she has worked out a formula for his good looks, and part of the attraction is he looks like Jesus.
She said in a magazine interview: "His look is Jim Morrison meets Charles Manson meets Jesus meets a little bit of Elvis Presley. He's a walking genius. Just standing next to him makes me smarter.
"He's good for me. He's not a p***k in any way, shape or form. He's the boss; he calls the shots. I like that. I've been waiting for someone I couldn't steamroll."
Russell, 34, proposed to Katy on New Year's Eve (31.12.09) during a holiday to India with a ring featuring two rubies and the inscription 'The one I've been waiting for'.
The pop beauty was astonished by the personal band, saying: "I love it. I'm glad he didn't go for the 'every other b***h in Beverly Hills is wearing it as well' ring."
Speaking about the proposal, she added: "It involved fireworks, elephants, Indian dancers, horse-drawn carriages and tens of thousands of flower petals."

Zimbabwe: ICRC activities from July to September 2008
21-10-2008 Operational Update
Zimbabwe's post-election violence has now subsided significantly, but humanitarian needs persist and the ICRC continues to respond. This operational update reports on the ICRC's activities in Zimbabwe and in the region that the Zimbabwe Regional Delegation covers.
The ICRC has been working in Zimbabwe and southern Africa since the days of the liberation struggles. The task of the Regional Delegation is to promote international humanitarian law (IHL) in Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The organization has continued to protect and assist those most in need, working with the support of the authorities. In 2006, the ICRC began to expand its activities in response to growing hardship in Zimbabwe, launching health and water/sanitation programmes for people in remote rural areas. This assistance has now been extended to the high-density suburbs of the capital Harare, where the majority of the city's residents live. The ICRC also continues to work with the Zimbabwe National Water Authority (ZINWA) to improve the quality and quantity of water that ZINWA provides to Harare and the surrounding communities.
In Namibia, the ICRC continues to visit people detained in connection with the situation there, monitoring their treatment and conditions of detention. The organization continues to support the National Red Cross Societies in the countries it covers, providing funding and technical know-how to assist their tracing, dissemination and disaster-preparedness/response activities.
Assistance to people affected by violence in Zimbabwe
The ICRC continued to help people affected by politically motivated violence following the elections in March and June 2008. Between July and September, more than 1,800 people received food rations and essential household items including blankets, kitchen sets and tarpaulins. Since March, the ICRC has assisted more than 5,000 people. The organization continues to monitor the situation and will respond to needs as they arise.
Supporting health centres in Zimbabwe
To improve access to health care, the ICRC continued to support 16 rural health posts, three district hospitals, and eight clinics in the high-density suburbs of Harare. Between July and September, the ICRC supplied these 27 facilities with 11 tonnes of essential drugs, basic medical consumables and equipment. The organization also donated approximately 50,000 gloves to Beatrice Infectious Diseases Hospital in Harare.
To increase access to safe water for rural communities in Makoni district, the ICRC installed hand pumps at four health clinics.
The ICRC sponsored ministry of health training activities in the districts where it is working. In the malaria-prone areas of Chivi, Makoni and Tsholotsho districts, 95 nurses received training in malaria case management. In Tsholotsho district, 35 nurses attended a refresher course that covered such topics as infection control, first aid and patient care.
The ICRC distributed emergency medical supplies to six mission hospitals in Mashonaland East province and to Gokwe District Hospital, for the treatment of people injured in post-election violence.
Promoting international humanitarian law in Zimbabwe
The ICRC promotes international humanitarian law (IHL) to the national authorities, armed forces, and civil society.
The Regional Delegation:
held a "train the trainers" course for 19 instructors from Zimbabwe National Army training establishments;
delivered the IHL module of Zimbabwe Defence Forces'Junior Staff Course Number 50 at Zimbabwe Staff College. The module was attended by some 60 officers of the armed forces of Zimbabwe and other SADC countries;
organized a two-day IHL module for 64 officer cadets of the Zimbabwe National Army at the Zimbabwe Military Academy;
gave two dissemination sessions to 240 trainees of the National Youth Service on humanitarian principles and IHL at two vocational training centres outside Harare;
working in collaboration with the SADC Regional Peacekeeping Training Centre (RPTC), organized the second annual workshop on integration of IHL in national defence forces for 14 senior officers from SADC countries;
together with the Namibian Red Cross Society, gave a session on the Red Cross and human rights during a training seminar for the Namibian police sponsored by the Finnish Embassy.
Improving the situation of detainees in Namibia
The ICRC continued to visit 123 persons detained in Namibian prisons in relation to fighting in the Caprivi strip in 1999. The organization also continued to visit 16 N amibian nationals who are living in Dukwi Refugee Camp in Botswana. Working in cooperation with the Red Cross Societies of Botswana and Namibia, the ICRC arranged for families to visit relatives in custody – the only opportunity they have.
Restoring family links
The ICRC continued to re-establish links between people from neighbouring countries affected by war and now living in refugee camps in Zimbabwe. More than 400 Red Cross Messages were exchanged between people in Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe.
Cooperation with National Red Cross Societies
The ICRC helped the Zambian Red Cross Society prepare to provide emergency assistance during the elections due to be held in Zambia.
Working closely with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Zone Office in Johannesburg, South Africa, the ICRC participated in regular meetings of the Southern African Partnership of Red Cross Societies.

Brad is 6' tall.
Brad Rowe: (on when he became an actor) I moved to L.A. about three and a half years ago, and I was working at United Talent Agency, working in the script library and in the mail room, and they helped me out. I was taking acting classes and they started sending me out on auditions, which I was absolutely miserable at, at first. But eventually I got the hang of it.
Brad Rowe: (on his first paid acting job) Oh, God. I did an Internet sci-fi adventure show called Eon 4. I played a galaxy-jumping cultural anthropologist...with an edge.
Brad Rowe: (on if he gets tired of getting comparisons to Brad Pitt) Actually, it's usually Tom Arnold. Yeah, I get that quite often. It's cool. He's a great actor and I'd like to follow in his footsteps of success.
Brad Rowe: I'm working on a couple of different stories: a romantic drama set in Spain; a psychological thriller that we want to shoot in Montana; and a treasure-hunting murder mystery set down in Galveston, Texas.
Brad Rowe: (on who he would love to work with) Tommy O'Haver! Again.
Brad Rowe: I've got a modern-day western called "The Regulator" that Icon Films--Mel Gibson's company--is producing. We should start shooting in Calgary pretty soon. I'm the lead good guy. I have to rope cattle. It's not very fun.

Just realised that. Damn. Anyway, these are the 2 EV sets:
128 HP / 128 Atk / 252 SpD with Assault Vest and Rock Slide
160 HP / 96 Atk / 252 SpD with Leftovers and Swords Dance
Both are pretty good, avoiding the OHKO from Gengar/Mega Gengar/Rotom- W/Aegislash, who it checks for Talonflame. Talonflame then beats Skarmory and Ferrothorn.

The Medical Use of Marijuana Act legalized medical marijuana in the Evergreen State in 1998. Despite passage of that Act, medical marijuana activity is currently illegal under state law. Voters, however, legalized the recreational use of marijuana through Initiative 502 in 2012, which is now codified under law at RCW 69.50 and WAC 314-55. The Washington State Liquor Control Board is charged with regulating and issuing marijuana producer, processor, and retailer licenses for the recreational cannabis industry.
The Canna Law Group had its start in Washington State's vibrant and fast-growing cannabis community and we are proud to remain on the front lines of the industry as an advocate and resource for local businesses as the state's marijuana laws and markets continue to evolve. Contact us today.

Waterford, CT — Waterford Speedbowl competitors representing multiple divisions at the track currently enjoy success on a national level in NASCAR's Whelen All-American Series program. The program awards points based upon a driver's performances in each race event held, with competitors at NASCAR tracks across the country in competition against one another for national accolades and bragging rights. The number of cars competing in each race event factor in to the points awarded, and drivers earn bonus points for each win they post.
Keith Rocco of Wallingford competes at the Speedbowl in the track's SK Modified® class. Rocco has won five of the nine events staged at the Speedbowl thus far in 2010 and is the current point leader for both the Speedbowl and the national NASCAR Whelen All-American Series standings. He also competes in the division at Thompson International Speedway and Stafford Motor Speedway, both in Connecticut, where he's achieved additional success to add to his totals in the NASCAR standings. In all, Rocco has won 11 of the 20 race events he has competed in at the three tracks this season. Last year Rocco finished runner-up in the overall NASCAR standings. Currently, three competitors at I-80 Speedway in Nebraska trail him in the standings. Rocco's hot start to the season puts him in the driver's seat nationally, setting the bar for others to match.
In addition to Rocco, the leaders of the Speedbowl's Street Stock and Norwich Bulletin Mini Stock division standings are also in contention nationally. New for 2010, NASCAR recognizes and awards points in the Whelen All-American Series support divisions at short tracks across the country. A track may designate up to four eligible support divisions in the program.
