Defense attorneys for the 23-year-old man accused of stabbing five people to death at a Denver bar in October have raised the question of whether their client is competent to proceed to trial.
On July 25, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey announced he is seeking the death penalty in the case against Dexter Lewis. That same day Lewis' attorney, Douglas Romero, filed a sealed motion raising competency issues.
Romero is a private attorney with Colorado Christian Defense Counsel. Lewis is asking that public defenders represent him.
Both issues were tabled during a brief hearing on Friday. Attorneys will argue both motions on Aug. 13, after public defenders have had a chance to meet with Lewis and Romero.
According to a second filing addressing competency, Lewis' attorneys wrote that Lewis has been taking psychotropic medication before and after the Oct. 17 crimes and started having "blackouts" when he was a child.
"At times, Mr. Lewis appears to be delusional as to space and time. There are times when Mr. Lewis relates rationally and at times he displays non-consecutive thinking," according to the filing.
Six days after requesting a competency evaluation, Romero filed a motion to withdraw himself as Lewis' attorney.
According to the motion, Lewis and Romero have irreconcilable differences about the strategy of Lewis' defense. Lewis' family expressed concerns about his defense last week, after prosecutors announced their decision to seek the death penalty.
This is the second time Lewis has requested different attorneys.
In October, Lewis was originally assigned a public defender, but he dismissed the public defender in December and hired Romero, according to a register of action in the case.
Lewis faces 16 counts in the Oct. 17 attack at Fero's Bar and Grill. The charges include multiple counts of first-degree murder, felony murder, robbery and arson. His case marks the first time since 2001 that Denver prosecutors have pursued the death penalty.
The last time a Denver jury sentenced a defendant to death was in 1986.
Two co-defendants in the case, brothers Lynell and Joseph Hill, pleaded guilty last week to their role in the deaths as part of plea agreements.
Lynell Hill pleaded guilty to three counts, including second-degree murder and arson. His brother Joseph pleaded guilty to five counts of first-degree felony murder.
Both men agreed to testify against Lewis.

Let it be known that i got to the platform with an arrow before giving up
Great short puzzle platformer.
Original music, story is simple yet hooks player until game is completed.
Only downside is that it is, well, short, and there isn't much room for a sequel.
Very interesting, though I don't know what to do in the last level, when it comes to those little butterflies trapped inside boxes. If it's related to getting all of the previous "lines", which I did, then tell me what to do next to get a different ending, please.

The rich got richer and the poor got point guards.
That was the theme on NBA Draft Day. Big trades dominated the pre-draft afternoon. Cleveland got richer by formally adding Shaquille O'Neal, to better match up with Orlando. Then Orlando added Vince Carter to improve their chances of getting back to the Finals. San Antonio added Richard Jefferson to better compete with the Lakers out West. The Lakers added a lot of cash to keep the team together that just won the title.
Most teams just want to find a way to get to that level, and they are counting on point guards to help get them there. After two big men went one-two at the top of the draft (Blake Griffin as expected to the Clippers then Hasheem Thabeet to Memphis) 9 of the next 10 picks were guards.
The Minnesota Timberwolves don't even have a coach, but they now have plenty of point guards. Minnesota had made a trade with Memphis earlier and had both the fifth and sixth pick in the draft. With that first pick they got the guy they said afterwards they really wanted, Spanish playmaking sensation Ricky Rubio.
Rubio, however, didn't return the love. He looked a little stunned by the pick and openly shivered when someone asked him about the cold winters in Minnesota. Then later Rubio's father told a Spanish newspaper his son may play a couple more years in Spain.
But if Rubio isn't handling the ball, then Johnny Flynn of Syracuse will be, he was the guy Minnesota picked sixth. Of course, which of those guys gets the ball most will be the decision of the coach. Once the Timberwolves get around to hiring one.
Oklahoma City went with shooting guard James Harden to pair with Russell Westbrook as the backcourt of a young and talented team. Sacramento got Tyreke Evans, the guard that led Memphis to 27 straight wins, then later made a trade to bring another quality guard, Sergio Rodriguez, in from Portland. Pair those two with Kevin Martin and it is clear Sacramento is building from the backcourt.
Don Nelson and Golden State added Stephen Curry, a guard and another guy who can shoot lights out but can't defend, so he should fit in fine in the Bay Area. DeMar DeRozan goes to Toronto as the guy who has to be good enough to convince Chris Bosh he wants to stay — no pressure there. New Jersey traded Vince Carter earlier in the day then picked Terrence Williams, a player who is an all world athlete who doesn't always seem focused on the court. Meet the new guard, same as the old guard.
The list goes on and on — Gerald Henderson to Charlotte, Jrue Holiday to Philadelphia, Ty Lawson getting picked by Minnesota then getting traded to Denver (to back up Chauncey Billups, a great place to be an understudy), Atlanta gets Jeff Teague, Utah takes Eric Maynor, New Orleans wants Darren Collison.
Why all the guards? Because a few years back the NBA told its referees to start calling the game differently — any hand check at all out on the perimeter was to be called a foul. That changed the game. You try to stay in front of a Steve Nash or Tony Parker or Kobe Bryant or Chris Paul if any little touch is a foul. Suddenly quick guys who could drive the lane and finish owned the game.
This year, there were a ton of small, quick guys in the draft. Guys well positioned to take advantage of the new rules, of the way the game is evolving. They all have holes in their games, weaknesses they will need to fix or find exploited nightly. The NBA is a merciless place. But the guys that can grow will find that they are well suited to this league.
And they will make some general managers getting confused looks tonight seem like geniuses in a few years.

For a smart man, President Obama professes to know very little about a great number of things going on in his administration.
On Sunday night, The Wall Street Journal reported that he didn't learn until this summer that the National Security Agency had been bugging the phones of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other world leaders.
That followed by a few days a claim by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that Obama didn't know about problems with the HealthCare.gov website before the rest of the world learned of them after the Oct. 1 launch.
It stretches credulity to think that the United States was spying on world leaders without the president's knowledge, or that he was blissfully unaware of huge technical problems that threatened to undermine his main legislative achievement. But on issues including the IRS targeting flap and the Justice Department's use of subpoenas against reporters, White House officials have frequently given a variation on this theme.
Question: What did Obama know and when did he know it? Answer: Not much, and about a minute ago.
The Associated Press' Josh Lederman led off Monday's White House briefing with an obvious question: "Was the president kept out of the loop about what the NSA was doing?" "I am not going to get into details of internal discussions," press secretary Jay Carney replied, repeating previous promises that "we do not and will not monitor the chancellor's communications."
This formulation conspicuously omits the phrase "did not."
CNN's Jim Acosta cited the HealthCare.gov rollout and the IRS targeting, which Obama said he learned about through news reports. "Is there a concern," Acosta asked, "that the president is being kept in the dark on some of these issues?" Carney told Acosta he had "conflated a bunch of very disparate issues." "Republican critics," Acosta said, "are making the case, though, that the president appears to be in the dark about some pretty significant stories that are swirling around this White House." "Well, Republican critics say a lot of things, Jim," Carney replied icily.
That's true. But in this case, the Republicans understated the number of issues on which the president has claimed to be in the dark. A compilation by the Republican National Committee titled "The Bystander President" cited the NSA spying on Merkel, the Obamacare rollout and an investigation of the IRS' targeting of political groups (the White House counsel knew of the inquiry but said she didn't inform Obama). The RNC also mentioned the failure of clean-energy company Solyndra, which had received government funding (Carney had said Obama read about it in "news accounts"), and the attempts to go after reporters' phone and email records (which the president also found out about from reading the news, Carney said).
The RNC didn't mention that Obama had allegedly known nothing about an FBI investigation of an affair involving David Petraeus that led him to resign as CIA director. Neither did it mention two other claims that conservatives often question: Obama's ignorance of a guns-on-the-border sting operation called Fast and Furious that went awry, and his unawareness of requests for additional diplomatic security in Libya before a U.S. outpost in Benghazi was attacked. There's no reason Obama should have known about these two issues. But how could he not know his spies were bugging the German chancellor?
"Is it believable that the president would not know about surveillance of the head of state of a close American ally?" ABC News' Jon Karl asked Carney. "Does that sound plausible to you?"
Bugging an ally
This finally provoked a hint from Carney that Obama did, in fact, know that the NSA was bugging Merkel. "The Wall Street Journal probably doesn't appreciate the suggestion that their story is wrong," he said, referring to a report that said Obama learned of the activity in the summer, "but I would say simply that we're not going to comment on specific activities reported in the press." Another hint came from Carney's assurance that "the president has full confidence in Gen. (Keith) Alexander and the leadership at the NSA." Obama probably wouldn't have such confidence if that leadership had kept him in the dark about something as consequential as the bugging of world leaders' phones.
On one level, it would be reassuring, and much more credible, if the White House admitted that Obama is more in the loop than he has let on. On another level, it would be disconcerting: Is it better that he didn't know about his administration's missteps -- or that he knew about them and didn't stop them?
Milbank: In or out of the loop?

But in the manga the two never say "I love you" : I think it's the Japanese way.
But what also is notable is that their relationship was just beginning to blossom when their lives were irrevocably changed. I feel like there's a lot more to come between those two.
There are quite a few moments that stick out to me. Those that have already been mentioned of course, but also when Casca walks to Guts' empty room and holds his broken sword to her face in volume 9. A wordless but very effective scene.
There are several scenes where Casca shows her love for Guts. I think she's quite daring about it. Even more direct than Guts.
Interesting question. The obvious ones stick out to me -- their love scene and the moments leading up to it, her throwing leaves in Guts' face and talking sense to him. But what also is notable is that their relationship was just beginning to blossom when their lives were irrevocably changed. I feel like there's a lot more to come between those two.
In episode 288, Farnese questions Casca on why she is the way she is, despite Guts always endangering himself for her. I feel the exact same way as Farnese during the discourse.
I'm surprised you feel that same as Farnese during this discourse, if I am understanding what you mean here, and that bis you don't get why Casca does not care for Guts. Unlike Farnese who has limited knowledge on what transpired during the eclipse to make Casca crazy and Guts brutality toward Casca in volume 23 which made her disdain him, we know these things transpired to make Casca the way she is right now. If Farnese knew these things she would not have been lashing out on Casca's behavior. Just like if Casca knew about Guts past she would have had more empathy for Guts behavior before even the cave scene during the golden age arc. But to be on tract with the threads topic I am most interested in knowing how Casca is going to show her love for Guts once she is restored. His body has gotten a beaten and deteriorated since she last saw him. I am anxious to see how a restored Casca will tame Guts inner beast, or if she will get a chance to do so.
Speaking of the events that transpired between Guts and Casca during Volume 23, I really hope Miura doesn't gloss over the significance of Guts' sexual assault on Casca and the impact it should have on his and her relationship if/when Casca is eventually cured (especially if Casca retains her memories of her time when she was nonlucid). Like I can't imagine a restored Casca wanting to immediately resume a romantic relationship with Guts without first processing/working through the many complicated feelings/emotions both would have in regards to that incident.
This scene with Farnese lashing out at Casca reminds me strongly of Casca lashing out at Guts and her frustration of why Griffith favors him so much, back in the cave. Casca could not wrap her head around someone she viewed as a loose cannon and self centered could be held in such high regard by Griffith. Farnese here can't understand why with the kooky way Casca acts in her current state and how she gives Guts dirty looks all the time, what sway she has over Guts. Farnese views Casca as a lost cause and can't figure out why Guts is holding on to her so badly. Casca could not understand Guts sway over Griffith. I wonder if Miura was making a parallel between these two scenes?
Seems a bit too dramatic that she'd just not let that eventualy pass or hate Guts, and Casca is not like that. She is emotional, but not a kid. Only in that state it makes sense for her to disgust him so much, there was nothing really positive for her in him, except that he was the only person arround while travelling and the fact she wasn't offended in any form. Not really much reason to like him.
Really, I think the issues they'll have to address will go way beyond that specific event. Also, please give Miura some credit, will you?
The parallel is there, but I'd be hard-pressed to say whether it's intentional or just a coincidence. The two underlying situations are pretty different.
I actually hope that is exactly what is going to happen that the events in volume 23 will be glossed over. The last thing I want to see is Casca continuing to hold this incident against Guts. Yes, it was significant and I do not think that it's severity should be dismissed because it had held real consequences, but at the same time if this incident becomes an issue at all I would hope it would be to at least start a dialogue between Guts and Casca (or Casca, Guts and the elf King) about Guts own mental trauma due to the eclipse. I will be disappointed if Casca merely continues to grudge Guts and give dirty looks and verbally rebuke him. Maybe Casca will not be able to resume a physical relationship with Guts right away but I do not think it should mean she should continue to hate him like she has in her damaged regressed state where she is unable to evaluate the events that led up to it. I mean if she remembers that incident why would she not remember all the other things Guts has done to protect her at the expense of his own body and well being?
Oh, I don't deny that there will likely other issues, beyond what occurred in Volume 23, explored if/when Casca is restored, I was just stating my thoughts on one of the various issues that I think are pretty significant. And I certainly don't mean to under-credit or imply a lack of faith in Miura, I was just voicing my general narrative anxieties (which are more attributable to seeing other fans (off this site) dismiss the narrative significance that a recovered Casca would have).
Yeah you are right, it is probably not Miura's intention to make a clear mirror parallel between these two events I just thought the ferocity of both Casca and Farnese in these situations seemed similar because they both could not understand why the person they where yelling at acted the way they did and was easily forgiven for that. I was also trying to say that I strongly feel that if Farnese had been aware of what had transpired between Guts and Casca in volume 23 or the events of the eclipse that made her the way she is now, that Farnese would not have gone off on her in a bath like she did. If she knew why Casca acts coldly toward Guts or that she mentally regressed due to rape she might have more been more understanding of why Casca does not seem to understand the lengths Guts goes to for her sake and probably would not have lashed out at her.
But for the narrative to completely ignored/dismiss the significance of such a incident would be very poor character writing on Miura's part IMO.
And even if in the end, Casca feels that she doesn't want to resume a romantic relationship with Guts (which I personally really doubt will happen) that's a valid choice for her to make that she shouldn't be rebuked for (as even if Guts has protected and sacrificed so much for Casca's safety, he still sexually assaulted her and is not entitled to a romantic relationship with Casca).
But Casca's narrative significance isn't tied to a continued resentment of Guts, far from it. In fact I certainly hope she will have a much bigger and much more interesting role than that, because that's the exact same role she's been having since the Eclipse. Fortunately, their relationship really has much more going on than that.
Why is that even being considered again? I thought you weren't lacking in faith regarding Miura's abilities? Because clearly your argument here is based on the supposition that Miura would in an incredible reversal of his previous 25+ years of work on the series suddenly become "very poor at character writing".
This not only goes without saying but is really completely off topic, and frankly quite patronizing and in poor taste coming from a man speaking to a woman. Our goal here isn't to use Guts and Casca's relationship as a text-book example of "no means no", and bringing it into the argument out of the blue feels really cheap.
I agree Casca's narrative significance shouldn't tied to a continued resentment of Guts, I am just arguing that the issues between Guts and Casca that could viably cause resentment need/should be worked through before other roles and dynamics are explored.
As I said in other threads I can have faith in Miura's storytelling ability while having some anxiety/being prepared to critique a writer's future potential narrative choices.
I didn't mean to be patronizing or be in poor taste that was not my intention. The reason why I felt it necessary to mention it is because it is very common (at least personally) to see opinions around the web (off this site typically) that demean and devalue Casca, to the point of disregarding/dismissing her own trauma, usually in some egregious manner of trying to prop up/praise Guts' character. It was not my intention to implicate Vixen Comics with such opinions/individuals, I was merely stating an addendum to my thoughts, it wasn't wasn't my intention to implicate it as part of my debate with Vixen Comics.
Why before and not along with? It will just be part of the natural process of getting to know each other again. Either way, it's pretty obvious.
But... no. No you can't. That goes contrary to what "having faith" means.
I understand, but that's how it came across regardless and whatever you've read elsewhere on the Internet does not excuse it. Please be mindful of that in the future.
To quote my response in the other thread: I am saying that I do believe Miura will tell his story well/properly (I'm like 98% confident that he will), but It think one can hold that belief while still acknowledging the possibility that he isn't infallible as storyteller (the 2% anxiety). I don't think I need to believe that Miura will always do right 100% of the time in order to claim a general faith in his abilities.
But I told you that in the first place because your entire argument rests on the assumption he will not do the characters justice, which is absolutely unfair and unwarranted given that the issue you say you don't want to see ignored is one he created and made central to the current relationship between Guts and Casca in the first place.
My intention for my original post/argument that I made on this topic in the thread was to just voice my anxieties (and my thoughts relating to them) over the possibility that Miura might fumble on said issues, regardless of how unlikely I think it is that he would. It was not my intention to imply that my anxieties were my default assumption/expectation of of what I believe will occur. I am sorry that I did not properly convey that in my original post.

Calendars are a necessary evil these days. They can be hard to manage, but you will surely forget half of what you need to get done if you don't use one. Using the calendar on your Android device will make it a lot easier to keep track of what you need to do and where you need to be.
The more proactive you are with your calendar, the better you will be. Also know you are not limited to the not always great calendar that comes with your Android. Here are a few Android calendar alternatives to check out.
1. Lockscreen Calendar
One of the reasons Androids and other devices with large touch screens have poor battery life is the screen is on a lot. Sometimes it is just to check to see if you have a new email, or in this case, what is your next appointment.
Lockscreen Calendar displays your next several appointments on your lockscreen so you don't need to unlock your phone, click on the all and look at the date. Being able to see your next appointment from the lock screen will make you more productive and save battery.
2. Touch Calendar
Touch acts almost like a web page. You can zoom in and out on it with the pinch to zoom feature. As you tap on the day or event, you will see a pretty standard view of the event. The default view is the month view and didn't look like you could change it. If you like the month view, this is a great simple calendar to use. The upgrade to the paid version will give you access to the widgets and other handy features.
3. Deadline Calendar
Having a calendar for your deadlines is a great idea. Normally you would need to add in all day appointments or tasks into your normal calendar making it look really really full. Having a calendar with a field for completion time is very handy for the person who has a lot of projects to manage. The paid version allows syncing with Google Calendar.
4. Fliq Calendar
Fliq Calendar is a free stand-alone calendar (does not sync with Google Calendar) that competes well with some popular paid calendars like Business Calendar and Calengoo for looks and ease of use. Fliq Calendar is made by Mark/Space, the people who bring you the apps to sync just about any phone to any computer. Because of this, if you have the need to sync with Outlook or iCal, Fliq Calendar is an Android calendar you may want to take a look at.
5. Quick Calendar
Quick Calendar is an add-on allowing you to see current or future appointments in your notification bar. Having your future appointment right in your notification bar will save you the space on the screen you'd normally use for a calendar widget.
Calendars are super useful when you keep them tamed. When you are using a calendar fitting for your needs as well as easy to use, you are more likely to use your calendar regularly.

Ideas of Race in Early America
Sean P. Harvey
"Race," as a concept denoting a fundamental division of humanity and usually encompassing cultural as well as physical traits, was crucial in early America. It provided the foundation for the colonization of Native land, the enslavement of American Indians and Africans, and a common identity among socially unequal and ethnically diverse Europeans. Longstanding ideas and prejudices merged with aims to control land and labor, a dynamic reinforced by ongoing observation and theorization of non-European peoples. Although before colonization, neither American Indians, nor Africans, nor Europeans considered themselves unified "races," Europeans endowed racial distinctions with legal force and philosophical and scientific legitimacy, while Natives appropriated categories of "red" and "Indian," and slaves and freed people embraced those of "African" and "colored," to imagine more expansive identities and mobilize more successful resistance to Euro-American societies. The origin, scope, and significance of "racial" difference were questions of considerable transatlantic debate in the age of Enlightenment and they acquired particular political importance in the newly independent United States.
Since the beginning of European exploration in the 15th century, voyagers called attention to the peoples they encountered, but European, American Indian, and African "races" did not exist before colonization of the so-called New World. Categories of "Christian" and "heathen" were initially most prominent, though observations also encompassed appearance, gender roles, strength, material culture, subsistence, and language. As economic interests deepened and colonies grew more powerful, classifications distinguished Europeans from "Negroes" or "Indians," but at no point in the history of early America was there a consensus that "race" denoted bodily traits only. Rather, it was a heterogeneous compound of physical, intellectual, and moral characteristics passed on from one generation to another. While Europeans assigned blackness and African descent priority in codifying slavery, skin color was secondary to broad dismissals of the value of "savage" societies, beliefs, and behaviors in providing a legal foundation for dispossession.
"Race" originally denoted a lineage, such as a noble family or a domesticated breed, and concerns over purity of blood persisted as 18th-century Europeans applied the term—which dodged the controversial issue of whether different human groups constituted "varieties" or "species"—to describe a roughly continental distribution of peoples. Drawing upon the frameworks of scripture, natural and moral philosophy, and natural history, scholars endlessly debated whether different races shared a common ancestry, whether traits were fixed or susceptible to environmentally produced change, and whether languages or the body provided the best means to trace descent. Racial theorization boomed in the U.S. early republic, as some citizens found dispossession and slavery incompatible with natural-rights ideals, while others reconciled any potential contradictions through assurances that "race" was rooted in nature.
Race and the Origins of Plantation Slavery
Justin Roberts
"Twenty and odd" Africans arrived in Virginia aboard a Dutch vessel in 1619 shortly after permanent colonization of the English Americas began. There has been significant academic debate about whether the enslavement of peoples of African descent in England's early 17th-century colonies was an inevitable or "unthinking decision" and about the nature and degree of anti-black racism during the 17th century. The legal and social status of African peoples was more flexible at first in the English colonies than it later became. Some Africans managed to escape permanent enslavement and a few Africans, such as Anthony Johnson, even owned servants of their own. There was no legal basis for enslavement in the British Americas for the first several decades of settlement and slave and servant codes emerged only gradually. Labor systems operated by custom rather than through any legal mechanisms of coercion. Most workers in the Americas experienced degrees of coercion. In the earliest years of plantation production, peoples from Africa, Europe, and the Americas often toiled alongside each other in the fields. Large numbers of Native Americans were captured and forced to work on plantations in the English Americas and many whites worked in agricultural fields as indentured and convict laborers. There were a wide variety of different kinds of coerced labor beyond enslavement in the 17th century and ideas about racial difference had yet to become as determinative as they would later be. As the staple crop plantation system matured and became entrenched on the North American mainland in the late 17th and early 18th centuries and planters required a large and regular supply of slaves, African laborers became synonymous with large-scale plantation production. The permeable boundaries between slavery and freedom disappeared, dehumanizing racism became more entrenched and U.S.-based planters developed slave codes premised on racial distinctions and legal mechanisms of coercion that were modeled on Caribbean precedents.

Dr. Gonzo comes home
A former king of comedy finds a new way to make people happy
At the height of his career, in the 1980s, he was a headliner. He had audiences all across the country rolling in the aisles. He shared stages with Jerry Seinfeld and Huey Lewis, partied with Joe Walsh and Robin Williams. He showed a young Drew Carey the ropes.
His stage name was Dr. Gonzo, and, in the heyday of standup comedy, he drew them in.
Then, in 1990, the popular comedian moved away from San Francisco and dropped from the public eye. Comedy had changed, and so had he.
But there's more to the story.
Jack's boy
John Means was born in October 1955 and grew up on Elm Street in Mason City, Ill. His father was Dr. Jack Means, a beloved country doctor whose life revolved around caring for people. The physician made house calls at all hours of the day and night and sometimes worked in exchange for baskets of vegetables.
"Dad helped people without a lot of fanfare," John Means says respectfully, drawing on his early memories. "That's a quality I hope I picked up from him."
Means' mother was a homemaker. Early in the marriage, she supported her husband's trek through medical school; then she brought up her kids and pursued her love of art. She was active in the Springfield Art Association, and her legacy stays with Means to this day. "She taught me not to be afraid of color," he says.
The second of four kids, John describes his early life as a good one. "I was outgoing. I got along with everybody. My friends and I ran around town all day, using the connected buildings as shortcuts. We hung out at the gas stations, the drugstores . . . "
Those memories of a younger Mason City remain vivid. "We knew the shopkeepers," Means recalls. "Cecil Fore at the five-and-dime, Bob Elmore at the Western Auto — I couldn't wait to see the new bikes come in at Western Auto — Hugh Cackley at the grocery store. He'd be chomping his cigar, and we'd go in there and fool with him. Mark Cain's dad owned the funeral home. We used to play ball in the basement there, with all the coffins. I had to get a ball out of a coffin once, and there was this body in there . . . . "
It was the quintessential rural American childhood — baseball and apple pie — but stirring in Means as he grew was a certain discontent. He felt that he lacked his own identity. "My father was popular, and I knew that — but I was just 'Jack's boy,' and I didn't care for that," he says.
In the seventh grade, Means got his first guitar and took it to school to show it off. "The kids wanted me to play something," he recalls. "I'd just gotten it — I didn't know how to play. It was embarrassing. I told myself that wasn't going to happen again."
He took lessons for a while but was impatient: "The teachers wanted me to play 'Yellow Rose of Texas.' I wanted to play anything but that, so I learned mostly by ear. I played Neil Young; James Taylor . . . ."
Means also appreciated comedy — a liking that influenced his music. "I was drawn to Bill Cosby's comedy albums," he recalls. "I started playing silly songs, like Johnny Cash's 'Boy Named Sue.' Once you get people to laugh, it's addicting."
Having no interest in his classes, he earned poor grades all through high school. After graduation, his one option was to enroll at Lincoln College. "I thought I was going to play baseball," he says, "but that only lasted two weeks. I couldn't hit the curve ball. But I auditioned for a play and got the lead role, so I decided to major in fine arts."
Now that he saw a purpose to his education, Means had no trouble maintaining his grades. At the end of two years, armed with a new associate's degree, he transferred to Drake University, in Iowa, to continue his study of fine arts. "I was accepted at Illinois Wesleyan," he says, "but something in me said, 'Go farther.' "
Dr. Gonzo
The philosophy at Drake was, if you wanted to be in show business, you had to learn every aspect of the game — staging, lighting, costumes. "You had to do it all. It was all hands-on," Means says. "That training has helped me a lot along the way."
It was at Drake that Means picked up his nickname.
"My roommate thought he was Hunter Thompson. He started calling me Dr. Gonzo. I asked him why, and he threw me the book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. 'Gonzo' refers to someone who takes it to the edge without falling off."
Dr. Gonzo's Bonzo Band, with Means as the frontman, started playing in local clubs. "I joked a lot," Means says. "It was the precursor to being a standup comedian."
After receiving his degree in 1977, Means stayed where he was, playing music, working odd jobs, acting sometimes. "A friend I went to school with — Morri Beers — we decided to move to San Francisco to produce a play," Means says. "For a long time there, I worked at mindless jobs — putting boxes in boxes, sweeping rain off roofs. I made some money playing guitar."
In their spare time, the two formed a company and sold shares to produce their play. "We were fearless," Means recalls, "walking into offices and making our pitch. Everyone loved our moxie."
But the young men never found the funds to produce their play.
"Morri eventually moved to LA," Means reports. "He sent me some pictures recently. He's teaching English. He's happy."
Means started to get gigs at the Boarding House, in San Francisco, and other popular clubs — "the places where Steve Martin and Robin Williams performed," he says. At that time, he was developing his special mix of humor and song.
Means' big break came on television in 1981. He was selected to audition for the Showtime production The Big Laugh Off. He bested 200 other comics to make it to the on-air talent show and finished in the top five comedians. "I was signed up as Dr. Gonzo," Means says. "I guess I was afraid of failing under my own name."
Soon Dr. Gonzo was doing standup comedy all over the country.
"Comedy was on a big wave," he recalls, "and I hit it at the right time. I made a good income while living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Victorian style of the old flats in San Francisco — they knew how to fix buildings up and make them beautiful."
He played parodies of classic rock songs and opened for touring acts such as Huey Lewis and the News. "I kind of became the cartoon before the movie," he says. He was asked to host the "Bammies" — the Bay Area Music Awards — in 1985. The show-business lifestyle suited him.
In 1982, Means met his first wife, Julie, at a comedy club. "That whole relationship was based on me being on and off the road," he says. Their son, Joe, was born in 1985. "Joe grew up around some crazy people — hung out with Robin Williams, Grace Slick . . . I wasn't always around, but, when I was, we had good, quality time."
The first 10 years of Dr. Gonzo's comedy career, everything was gravy. Then, suddenly, there were a million comics out there. Comedy clubs became like chain restaurants. It wasn't your name anymore but, instead, the venue's. The competition got tougher.
"I was getting older, but my audience was getting younger," Means says.
Time for a change
Means moved his family back to Mason City in 1991. He was still touring regularly, but the cost of living in San Francisco had gotten out of control, and his parents' health was declining — he wanted to be closer to them.
"In 1998, Dad stopped working. He didn't want to quit; he just couldn't do it any more. I was touring only about half as much by then."
Means' youngest brother, Curt, reminded him that he had a bachelor's degree and suggested that he look into a substitute-teaching job in Mason City. Means stopped booking tours, took the teaching job, and enjoyed it. Soon he was back in school, working toward an English degree at the University of Illinois at Springfield, which he completed in 2000, and a regular teaching job.
Means' marriage couldn't hold up under this new dynamic. In 1999, he and his wife separated, and she moved away. Means' son, Joe, made the decision to stay in Mason City with his father. Means gave up comedy for good, and Dr. Gonzo was relegated to boxes in storage.
Means' father, Jack, died in 1999; Eleanor Jo, his mother, died in 2001.
Dr. Gonzo was gone, and John Means had come home — but, when he looked at that home, it did not compare well to his memories.
"You drive down Chestnut Street under this beautiful canopy of trees," Means recalls of his first days back from California. "Then you come to the downtown area, and I was thinking, 'What happened here?' "
The economy had changed. Many stores were closed, the buildings that had housed them neglected. Those that remained had lost their beauty and charm. "While I was gone, they tried to modernize Mason City," Means says. "Aluminum siding on brick buildings . . . it just doesn't make any sense to me.
"The theater was the center of town when I was a kid. Now it was only showing occasional live shows. The bowling alley was gone. The only businesses were service businesses. I was, like, 'Where are all the retailers?' " The only constant was Hanover's barbershop, there on the corner. (Kenneth Hanover has operated his barbershop in the same building at the corner of Main and Chestnut for more than 50 years.)
In 1997, Means joined the City Council with an eye to turning things around. He labored successfully to get trash burning stopped and supported efforts to run sewer lines into the Pinecrest addition. He helped the city secure the Civic Center and saw to the planting of trees downtown: "I got kids involved in the planting. They can look at those trees in 20 years and say, 'I planted that.' "
Discussing Mason City's fall from grace, Means is passionate: "In the mid-'90s [a Springfield businessman] bought the motel. Instead of cleaning it up, he turned it into efficiency apartments — lots of Section 8. He bought the Brenner Bros. building and others downtown. He's done zero with this property. All he's done is stack stuff in there for his motels in Springfield. It's frustrating."
Means offered to paint storefronts downtown, for no compensation, if the owners would pay for the paint. "For 90 days, I did that," he says. "Money from the City Council paid for a scissor lift for the first month; then people donated to keep it longer. Peggy and I, and a few volunteers, did 15 different storefronts. The money kept coming in, so we kept it up all summer."
"Peggy" is Peggy Means, Means' second wife and another Mason City native. Her reaction was similar to Means' when she returned to her childhood home after a long absence. "We remember how it was," she says. "There is a certain nostalgia in that. The kids who are growing up now — what are their memories going to be, vacant buildings?"
The two were introduced by mutual friends, and recognized each other from the early days. "John was our paper boy when I was a kid," Peggy says. "He'd come by on his bike and tell jokes."
Means proposed to Peggy at the funeral home, after the service for his mother. "I got down on one knee. Mike Allison, the funeral director, said, 'That's a first.' I know it was odd, but that building held a lot of memories for me."
John and Peggy solidified their commitment to the community in 2002 when they bought out Biundo's, a small Italian restaurant downtown. Originally they were renting the building, but soon they decided — with the help of business partners whose share they've since bought out — to purchase the property. "We saw the potential in the building," Means says. "Under the drop ceiling was this beautifully ornate tin ceiling."
PJ's Pizza & Pasta, the result of the buyout, thrived, and so did the marriage. The couple has since opened a second restaurant — named Jack & Jo's in honor of Means' parents, who enjoyed eating out — in the other half of the building. Last year they hired Murray Brigham, a certified culinary chef.
"We went from steak and potatoes to fine dining," Means says proudly.
Now John and Peggy live above the restaurants. "We tell people that, and they think we must be roughing it," Means says, laughing. In fact, the size and beauty of the restored loft rivals any home available in the area, proving the point that Means is constantly trying to make: Mason City holds untapped potential.
What do the Meanses want for Mason City? As perturbed as John becomes while talking about where his home town has slipped, he is equally exuberant when discussing it's recent growth, and better still, its potential: "We've got some good things going now — we've got a gourmet coffee shop, Brew Unto Others; some fine restaurants; the movie theater is going again; there's a golf course; the comedy club . . . "
The comedy club is Mason City Limits, owned by a friend of Means' from his performing days. Touring performers come from all over, and so do the crowds. Occasionally Means sits in and plays some guitar or chats with friends from his performing days, but he doesn't do standup anymore. "That's a whole different mindset, and I don't go there anymore," he says.
Investment in Mason City seems a no-brainer to Means. "Every one of these buildings has the same potential as ours," he says. "What you give for a house these days, and the property tax, you could buy one of these buildings, gut it, roof it, create your own floor plan . . . "
Peggy adds, "You have to have faith in yourself. Once you start in on something, it'll just keep going."
The citizens of Mason City are looking ahead to the town's sesquicentennial next summer, expected to be the biggest celebration the community has ever hosted, and the city is taking part in the MAPPING (Management and Planning Programs Involving Nonmetropolitan Groups) project run by Western Illinois University.
"Mapping the Future of your Community" is a program developed and conducted by the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University. Its goal is to develop ambitious but practical plans for growth and prosperity in rural communities whose residents are willing to work toward that goal. It has seen some admirable successes.
The program was brought to Mason City by, of course, John Means.
"I'd like to see a vital downtown again," he says. "I'd like to see urban renewal, historic preservation. Bring back the character of the buildings. You can't re-create this."
Peggy agrees: "We have to reinvent small-town shopping. It doesn't have to be the way it was. Create some new types of shops."
After the storefront-painting project, the city threw a party for Means as an expression of gratitude. Means appreciated the gesture, as well as the gold paintbrushes he was presented with, but, he says, "The sense I got was that they thought this was the end, that something was over and done with. My statement that day was 'This is just paint; this is nothing. This is only the beginning.'"
It is a sentiment that sums up the story nicely: Dr. Gonzo may be gone, but John Means is just beginning.

The Seahawks just had a touchdown pass to Braylon Edwards overturned on review, and the field goal they settled for gave them a 10-7 lead at halftime. The ball was ruled to have hit the ground first, but it wasn't a clear-cut ruling, as Edwards had a case for controlling it.
Frankly, both teams left chances on the table, as the Bears lack of playmakers not named Brandon Marshall is coming back to haunt them. Earl Bennett caught an early touchdown but also dropped what would have been a huge gain, showing how one-armed they are in the passing game. Marshall has seven of Jay Cutler's 10 receptions.
Marshawn Lynch made up for an early fumble with a touchdown, and Russell Wilson has thrown for 157 yards.

We have good news for Zac Stacy's fantasy owners. The St. Louis Rams running back isn't going to see a lesser role in Year 2; the Rams see him as a workhorse.
"He should be more productive (in '14) because he should have more carries," Rams general manager Les Snead said when asked if Stacy's role would transfer over to a new season.
It would be hard for Stacy to touch the ball more per start than he did last season, when he had 250 carries in just 12 starts. The key here: The Rams expect him to start in all 16 games in 2014. Despite being a sixth-round draft pick, the Rams see Stacy as a foundation to build around.
Some other notes from the Rams:
» Snead made it sound like the Rams were in no hurry to release cornerback Cortland Finnegan despite Finnegan's huge $10 million cap number. Coach Jeff Fisher later confirmed it.
"He's healthy now," Fisher said of Finnegan. "We expect him back in the offseason program."
That's surprising news. Perhaps the Rams are confident that Finnegan eventually will agree to a pay cut or perhaps they just don't feel the need to make the decision before free agency. The Rams have a lot of cap room available.
"The nice thing about our situation capwise ... we're not walking around scrambling that we got to do anything to function," Snead said.
He said the Rams don't have to make a "non-football decision" on Finnegan, then pointed out Finnegan's injury problems last season were a factor in his poor play. Snead went on to say you "can't have enough corners" who also can play inside and that the team wanted to see how Finnegan fits with the Rams' defense under new coordinator Gregg Williams.
As NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport pointed out, the Rams might want to see if Finnegan gets his legs back before they make a final decision on his status.
» Snead addressed whether taking a premier pass rusher (Jadeveon Clowney) was an option despite already having great players at the position. Snead said you "better have a plan" for how to get everyone on the field if you go that route.
» Snead said Fisher has no "philosophy" against taking offensive linemen high in the draft despite never drafting a first-round pick on the offensive line. Snead said the two have "laughed" about it. Taking a tackle wouldn't be a surprise at No. 2 overall.
» Fisher said he has "no concern" about the team possibly moving to Los Angeles.
» Snead said he "wasn't losing sleep" over Jake Long's torn ACL and he knows Long will be back next season, if not as fast as quarterback Sam Bradford. Long is not at risk of losing his job.
On the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys speculate on big names who could be cut, then talk offseason forecasts for the Packers and Raiders.

Aston Martin's history began in Kensington, England in 1914, when the company's founders, Robert Bamford and Lionel Martin, decided to build on their success selling Singer racing cars and launch their own sophisticated line of refined vehicles. The pair branded their new company Aston Martin after the Aston Hill speed hillclimb in Buckinghamshire, where the Singer cars had found success and where Martin had previously raced.
Aston Martin Through The Years
Their first car was to be produced in 1915, but World War I postponed production. Both Martin and Bamford joined the military and their machinery was sold to an aviation firm.
After the war ended, Martin and Bamford reopened Aston Martin. By the 1920s, Aston Martin began to gain popularity as a racing car manufacturer, although it declared bankruptcy several times during the next decade. Aston Martin models competed internationally in races, including the French Grand Prix and the epic Le Mans. By the 1930s, despite having seen several new owners come and go, Aston Martin was still a popular brand. The sleek 1934 Ulster was a particularly popular car.
Following World War II, several new models were launched. The DB1, DB2, and DB3 were named after the company's new owner, industrialist Sir David Brown, who bought Aston Martin in 1947. Then in the 1950s, Aston Martin experienced even more racing success in the DB2 at Le Mans. Another new model, the DB4, was launched and took several racing titles: the RAC Tourist Trophy, the Nürburgring, and the World Sportscar Championships.
In the 1960s, a very famous motorist started driving the new Aston Martin DB5: Sean Connery as James Bond. The car made its Bond debut in Goldfinger in 1964. By the end of the decade, Aston Martin's first four-seat car was produced, the DB6. Despite the increasing fame of the brand, the company continued to be plagued with financial problems, again going bankrupt and changing hands several times.
Aston Martin in America
After one of its several periods of bankruptcy, North Americans Peter Sprague and George Minden bought Aston Martin in 1975. Then, in 1987, the Ford Motor Company purchased Aston Martin. Ford's efforts to redevelop Aston Martin led to a series of successes that started with the debut of the very popular DB7 in the 1990s, and continued into the new millennium with the V12 Vanquish, the DB9 and the V8 Vanquish. Ford eventually sold Aston Martin to a group led by Prodrive chairman David Richards in 2007. Prodrive was not financially involved, but the group included Aston Martin collector John Sinders and two Kuwaiti investment companies (Investment Dar and Adeem Investment Co.) Today, Aston Martin is a well-respected prestige brand throughout the United States, as well as the rest of the world.
Aston Martin Models
Today's Aston Martin models make up a small line of highly desirable and extremely well-regarded cars. The current models are the V8 Vantage, the V8 Vantage Roadster, and the V12 Vantage; the Aston Martin DB9 and the DB9 Volante; the Aston Martin DBS V12 and Volante; the Rapide sedan; the Toyota iQ-based Cygnet; and the Virage.
Other models from the past decade include the Aston Martin V8 Coupe, the Aston Martin DB7 Zagato, the Aston Martin DB AR1, the Aston Martin One-77, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage Carbon Black Edition and the Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black Edition.
Aston Martin expanded internationally over time. The four-door Aston Martin Rapide is manufactured in Graz, Austria, in the Magna Steyr factory. Design and engineering, however, still take place in the United Kingdom.
Aston Martin Products and Technologies
Aston Martin offers a line of sleek and highly specialized sports cars. The brand is recognized worldwide as a top manufacturer of prestigious performance vehicles. Aston Martin provides a range of heritage services, which range from restoring historic vehicles, to upgrading and modernizing vehicles without compromising their style.
Traditional methods are used to ensure authentic Aston Martin workmanship and heritage are retained. One of the most popular features is the addition of air conditioning, with well-hidden controls to retain the vintage feel but give a bit more comfort. Other popular upgrades are the conversion of classic vehicles to unleaded fuel, and improvements to braking and road-gripping to increase performance. Alarms and immobilizers can be also added, as can electronic ignition, and headlamp upgrades. Even Bluetooth-compatible sound systems, reverse-view cameras, and satellite navigation can be retrofitted to the iconic models.
Aston Martin Works Service Heritage conducts all repairs and upgrades in-house, whether its exterior fixes to damaged paintwork or body panels or careful alterations to the classic interiors. A fully equipped Trim Shop provides a bespoke stitching service to customize your leather interior. Also available are branded accessories, ranging from luxury luggage to protective car covers.

Tigers break out bats in rout of Astros
Houston, TX – Miguel Cabrera crushed two homers and reached base every time he came to plate, and the Detroit Tigers recorded 21 hits in a 17-2 thrashing of the Houston Astros in the third test of a four-game set from Minute Maid Park.
The reigning American League MVP and Triple Crown winner knocked in six runs for the fifth time in his career, going 4-for-4 with three runs scored and a walk in the Tigers' third straight win and eighth in nine games.
The Detroit hitters never let up against the Astros' pitching staff, producing at least one run in every inning but the third and providing more than enough support for Max Scherzer (4-0), who was brilliant once again.
Scherzer continually stayed ahead of batters over his eight innings of work and scattered just one run on three hits. He struck out eight as well to win his third straight start.
Torii Hunter went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored, Victor Martinez clubbed a two-run homer and drove in four, Jhonny Peralta knocked in a pair of runs and Alex Avila, Prince Fielder and Omar Infante drove one apiece.
"One of the strengths of our team is our offense and how well we can club the ball," Scherzer said.
It was an emphatic fifth loss in a row and ninth in 10 games for Houston, which mustered just six hits.
Lucas Harrell (3-3) wasn't even close to winning his fourth straight decision, getting tagged for eight runs on 10 hits over 4 1/3 innings.
"They just placed the ball in the right spot. It was just one of those days where even when you make a good pitch, they still get a hit," Harrell said.
The onslaught began right away, with Cabrera spraying an RBI single into right in the first inning. Two batters later, Martinez stroked a two-run double off the wall in left center before Peralta had an RBI base hit to cap the four-run inning.
Cabrera got his second turn at-bat the following inning and launched his fifth homer of the season, a two-run blast into left field. His bases-loaded walk in the fourth made it 7-0 in favor of Detroit.
Avila doubled home Andy Dirks in the fifth and Cabrera's second homer of the game, a solo blast into left to begin the sixth, provided the Tigers with a nine-run cushion.
The Tigers continued to punish the Astros by plating three more in the seventh, with Hunter, Cabrera and Fielder delivering consecutive RBI singles to build Detroit's lead up to 12-0.
Carlos Corporan recorded Houston's third hit of the game in the seventh, reaching Scherzer for a two-out solo homer, but the Tigers would plate five more runs over the last two innings.
Peralta doubled in a run in the eighth and would come home on an error by Houston shortstop Ronny Cedeno. Hunter provided an RBI double to cap the frame, while Martinez stroked a two-run homer in the top half of the ninth to make the score 17-1.
The Astros brought a run home in bottom half of the inning on Jason Castro's line-drive single into right.
Game Notes
Cabrera recorded his 26th multi-home run game. The last time he accomplished the feat was Sept. 18 of last season, which was also the last time he drove in six runs ... Every starter in Detroit's lineup had at least two hits except for Fielder and Dirks, who each had one ... The Tigers were 8-for-19 with runners in scoring position.

I will never, however, watch the Tour de France again in my lifetime.
As a fan of sports I will watch any sport if it is an important moment.
I rarely miss a Triple Crown horse race, I will even take in a meaningful World Cup soccer game from time to time. I get into the Olympics, watching curling for hours, though understanding curling is a whole other story.
I will never, however, watch the Tour de France again in my lifetime.
What person would, after Lance Armstrong became bigger than the sport of cycling, winning the Tour de France seven consecutive times, and emphatically denying he has ever used performance enhancing drugs?
Lance Armstrong was a living legend. He was the Babe Ruth of cycling.
Then the rumblings of him doping started and snowballed until he couldn't contain them any longer. In January of this year Armstrong admitted to Oprah that he used performance enhancing drugs.
What if word never got out that Armstrong doped while doing what no other human being has ever done? Would he have come clean? Highly unlikely, because "clean" and "Lance Armstrong" are words that don't belong in the same sentence.
Armstrong recently told a French newspaper that the Tour de France can't be won without doping and that he still considers himself a seven-time Tour de France winner, even though his titles have been stripped by officials.
Suddenly Armstrong has gone from one of the most beloved athletes in American history to being in the same boat as Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Alex Rodriguez.
So, how come I will never watch cycling again but I still follow Major League Baseball? Well, it's simple, because no baseball player accused of doping was ever bigger than the game.
Barry Bonds wasn't bigger than baseball. Mark McGwire was never bigger than baseball. If it comes out that Babe Ruth was juicing, the entire baseball lore would be crushed.
Lance Armstrong's fame and popularity after winning seven Tour de France's were beyond cycling. It was massive. He was a national hero.
And its not only Armstrong that doped. Every cycler that was successful in Armstrong's era is linked to doping.
Now, I'd rather watch professional croquet than one second of the Tour de France.

Looking for a good TSUKEMONO recipe for Green Tomatoes -- Help, have tons of tomatoes!!!
I'm afraid that I very, very rarely get to enjoy green tomatoes in London.
There are a few recipes for green tomato pickles on the internet in Japanese. Unfortunately, I don't read or write it (it's more of a crossword puzzle for me - I tend to decipher what I can)
I used 青トマトのピクルス as a search term and found a few recipes using Google. This was one of the clearest I saw. I've included the results from two translation tools - if you can flick between them what is missed out in one version of the recipe is generally covered by the other.
My concern is that it doesn't mention how long the pickles need to marinade before they are ready. But from what I can tell from the other recipes, I'd guess it was a week (some recipes say two weeks).
Unfortunately, green tomato pickles aren't really typical of Japanese cooking so they don't feature at all in any of the tsukemono references I usually use (tomatoes in Japan only started being eaten in any significant quantities from the 1920s and only became widely cultivated from the 1960s). From what I can tell, green tomato pickles are a speciality of some parts of Eastern Europe, such as Romania and Bulgaria, but I know very little about these cuisines. Nevertheless, I'd love to try pickles made with this fruit some day, I really do like green tomatoes and will happily gorge on the varieties available in Spain whenever I get the chance... raw, with a touch of sea salt (mmm... I'm drooling now!)
Thanx, Loretta - At least this is a start! My husband's aunt used to make tomato-tsukemono but I never got her recipe. I don't read Japanese either, but the translation (first one) is pretty good, worth a try!
Green Tomato Relish is a common New Zealand pickle - but it is more of a sauce than a vegetable. There is a recipe here and another here (it's a pdf).
I love the stuff, and it's great for using up tomatoes that are never going to ripen at the end of summer.
My blog is Food and Shoes
I would say that pickles may work better, but here is a very simple tsukemono recipe
For every 1 kilo (2.2lb) of green tomatoes) use:
- 1 liter water (1 quart)
- 50-60g salt (about 2 ounces) sea salt
- a pickle weight, a bucket or pickling pot
Clean and wash the tomatoes well, discarding any bad or bruised ones.
Dissolve the salt in the water.
Put the tomatoes in a clean, sterilized bucket or pickling pot. Pour in the salt water. Put a plate or something on top, put on a weight (a stone or a big jar filled with water would do), then cover the whole with something (a plastic garbage bag would do) to keep out any critters. Put in a cool, dark place for at least a week.
(You can add MSG to the salt if you don't object to MSG.)
If you have a nukadoko, you can put sliced and deseeded green tomatoes in there. (Nukadoko making is a whole other topic, book even)
Another alternative is to buy some Tsukemono Powder or Tsukemono Mix at a Japanese grocery store. The powder you can just sprinkle on sliced deseeded tomatoes, for almost instant pickles. The mix is mixed with water to make a sort of pickling water, in which you can put your sliced deseeded tomatoes. But this is for pickles to be eaten within a few days though.
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanx, Maki.......eee, no MSG! Gives me a headache!! Salted water, yes, is the simplest way but from what I remember tasting the GTT years ago, there must have been more to it. However, I expect I'll have lots of green tomatoes to experiment!

Im new to this forum, and have looked through quite a bit of the forums but am still lost!
Im 24, an Aquarius with an intuitive side.
I first noticed an ability from dreaming. This first happened when i fell asleep and dreamed of an American Airlines MD-80. It wasnt crashing. It was trying to land but it couldnt and it just kept flying low and low. Well i turn on the news the following morning and that exact plane couldnt land because of a landing gear problem, in Miami.
A few weeks later i had a dream i had 3 missed calls and a voicemail from my brother and in the VM he told me that my father had passed away. Well again 2 days later 3 missed calls and a voicemail from my brother Tyler. Only it wasnt that my dad had passed away.
I had a dream about my mother calling and telling me about my grandma passing away and that happened a few days after i dreamt it.
----I dont always remember my dreams but when i do, theyre something meaningful or eventful
ie. Im never flying to Detroit because i had a dream i was on a flight out of Detroit and it crashed. They scariest part was in my dream, i was a passenger on the plane! I woke up sweating, out of breath, and everything. It was so vivid, i had a window seat and all.
1- Is there any way to improve on this or is it something i just accept??
Other than that i dont remember any dreams.
My next question/situation.
I get Dejavu all the time! Its to the point where i have to stop and catch my breath. Its like a heavy feeling on my chest and head. Its all to places ive never been to before!! I just get a feeling like ive been there before. (Maybe in another life)
2- Has anyone ever had these???
I say i have a very intuitive side but im not sure how to improve on it!
Sometimes i have it very strong, other times i dont. Many times if im driving and ill ask myself which way to go, and i will get a feeling inside whether its good or bad on what way i should take.
Also gambling i get a feeling on what slots are going to be good. and ive always won some good amount on them.
With people i can tell if theyre good or bad just by sensing them without even talking to them.
In past relationships i call them "intuition episodes" where something tells me to do something (this past time was to go on this dating site my boyfriend is on) and he had posted something which lead to his intentions to cheat. But hadnt because i had caught him. Mind you, i havent been on that site in almost 6 months, but something told me to check his profile. When he asked me who told me to check it, he didnt believe me when i said "a little birdie in my head". Things like this have happened multiple times.
2- Im trying to improve my intuition, anyone have any tips???
Lastly, Wheni i lived in my condo it was haunted and i ioved it. There were many events but i will just summarize them.I saw a black figure in my laundry room walking by. Lights would turn on and off. Doors opening and slamming closed. He would come into the shower with me, I say this because the curtain would blow quite a bit and i would become freezing under a hot shower. I kept telling him, you can talk to me. but i never got anything.
Ever since then i can tell when a place is haunted just by looking at it because i get this feeling where the hair on my neck and back stand up. I did that with my brothers farm house, and my other friends house. The first time i ever had been there i went in the basement to get some pop and had a feeling of old, hurt, and i just knew someone had died. So i asked who died down there, and it was the pervious owners mother.
Is that still intuition or Clairsentience??
Sorry this is so long, but i appreciate any feedback
Not sure what ability is defined as, or hot to improve it.

Sorry I can't be much help here, but I always get so amazed when people have abilities like this. I would suggest meditation, since it's helpful in developing many parts of yourself, but besides that I don't know. So, hopefully someone with more knowledge will give a better answer soon.

Yes, meditation is a good idea to start.
I'd recommend finding a spiritual group or mediums in your area, or perhaps even a paranormal team in your area might know of someone you can contact for some help growing your abilities and also ways of making sure you stay safe in doing so. www.paranormalsocieties.com is a great website to find any teams in the US.
Good luck.

Security Alert: Haz-Mat teams at Baltimore Census processing facility…again.Wednesday, April 7th, 2010
From the Baltimore Sun…too bad this plot line never made it into The Wire:
Suspicious powder was found this morning at a processing center of the U.S. Census Bureau in Essex, though it was found to be harmless.
The Baltimore County police and fire departments were called around 10 a.m. to the U.S. Census Bureau's Data Capture Center, in the 8400 block of Kelso Drive, to examine a package containing a small amount of powder, said Elise Armacost, the fire department spokeswoman.
"We did not evacuate the building, no one was showing symptoms, there were no transports," Armacost said. "People were removed from the immediate vicinity while we were testing."
The substance was deemed non-threatening, Armacost said.
The plant — which processes 2010 Census questionnaires as they are returned — resumed operations by early afternoon, said Markia McLeod, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Census Bureau.
McLeod said that Baltimore County Hazmat teams have responded to the Essex facility for six incidents since it opened last year. The last time was in March, when powder found inside a census envelope turned out to be coffee creamer.

Stephanie Francis Ward at the ABA Journal headlines that 30 Lawyers Pick 30 Books Every Lawyer Should Read.
certainly agree with some, but not all of the selections. Surely any of
the books listed have potential value to particular readers, although
book selection is largely a matter of personal taste. Each of us would
clearly come up with a different list of 30 books.
I definitely do miss from the ABA Journal list:
Herbert Packer, The Limits of the Criminal Sanction
brilliant discussion of the underlying values that guide models of
criminal process could in principle be applied equally to law and
politics in general, where there is a constant battle between
(simplistic) legal and political fundamentalism and (the more complex)
reality, something we currently see similarly in the alleged
"fundamentalist" national budget crisis, which, according to the blog of
Robert Reich at the Christian Science Monitor, is "in reality" a jobs and growth crisis.
