I have a shower faucet (single handle) that has the set screw on the side. The brand is Price Pfister. The handle pullers I see are designed for handles with the set screw in the front. How do I get the handle off in this case? (It's stuck pretty hard.) Am I missing something?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Just have to work it back and forth, if all else fails, if something breaks, well there are replacement parts you can get.

South Gate Drive-In
5131 Firestone Boulevard,
South Gate,
2 people favorited this theater
The South Gate Drive-In was opened prior to 1950. It was located at Firestone Boulevard at Atlantic Avenue, and was operated by Berman Theatres.

I drove by this location today. It's heavy industrial, and looks like it has been for some time. I'm not sure where the drive-in would have been, unless it was off to the back somewhere.
"Duchess and the Dirtwater Fox" was playing at the drive-in back in March 1976, per this LA Times ad:
If you enter the address on this site, you can see the drive-in back in 1972 and the 1950s. It was set back from Firestone Boulevard, as I suspected.
"Hell Squad" was playing at the South Gate in October 1958:
It was a rather large Drive-in parking 850 cars and the SOUTH GATE DRIVE-In was owned by ALADDIN DRIVE-IN THEATRE INC. All this in 1956.

Gilligan's Island, the popular 60s comedy TV series about seven castaways who get stranded on a tropical island, will get a feature film, Deadline Hollywood reports.
Warner Brothers will be making the movie, and Josh Gad will star. Gad, Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez will write the film together.
So far, there has not been any information on which character Gad will play.
Preston and Steve from WMMR talked to Good Day about this plan. They are not excited about the movie. Preston and Steve said that if you got someone like Ben Stiller or Ray Liotta to star, then they may be more excited about it.
Sheinelle mentioned that many people in the current generation never got a chance to watch Gilligan's Island on TV, so maybe the box office will capture people who don't have loyalty to the old show.
Online, the comments have been pretty negative. On Deadline Hollywood's story, read Susan Gold writes, "Please don't do this. I love Josh Gad and I love Gilligan's island but there is no way this can be good."
Similarly, Joe Hill wrote, "Can anyone please have sane, common sense today…"

PORT ARTHUR - by Scott Lawrence - A contract worker died in an accident Tuesday at the Total Petrochemical plant in Port Arthur.
According to a news release from Total, at approximately 2:15 p.m. Tuesday a contractor was involved
in an incident where he sustained injuries during construction activities at Total Petrochemicals & Refining USA, Inc.'s Port Arthur Refinery.
A spokesman for the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says the worker became trapped in a trench. An Acadian Ambulance crew transported him to Christus Hospital St. Mary where he died.
The spokesman says the 65-year-old man who died lived in Orange. They're not releasing his name until relatives are notified.

Join the College of Liberal Arts in the University Forum Lecture, "Indigenous Encounters in the Pacific: Native Hawaiians, Native Americans and a Globalizing World" a talk by David Chang, associate professor, History and American Indian Studies, University of Minnesota.
This presentation explores the meanings that Native Hawaiians invested in their encounters with American Indians in the 19th century American West. Using Hawaiian language newspapers and face-to-face encounters, this presentation demonstrates how relations between Native Hawaiians and American Indians, surprising in their depth and range, provide a window onto how indigenous people understood their place in a broader world dominated by colonial and imperial powers.

bump. hope you get answers.
Hello guys, recently i went to my endocrinologist because of my type 1 diabetes. I discussed with him some odd symptoms i've been having. Depression, anxiety, hard time building muscle, gyno, crazy bad prolactin, low sex drive, and no morning wood. We got blood work done and heres the results:
Estradiol - 31 pg/ml
Prolactin 8.3 - ng/ml
Follicule Stimulating Hormone - 3.0 mIU/ml
Luteinizing Hormone - 3.24 mIU/ml
Testosterone - 477 ng/dl
Do these numbers look okay? Is my test low for being 18? My doctor said my test is fine, but my prolactin is high. He gave me no advice for the high prolactin though. Just thought i'd grab all you're opinions. Thank guys
bump. hope you get answers.
~ Airborne42's girlfriend ~
- using mobile version, can't rep -
Its in the normal range have you ever used prohormones or steroids? From looking at your pic it doesn't seem like you're having a hard time building muscle
idk if you were hoping it was low to get some test or something, but 477 is average. they wont get you any test unless youre below 200. btw youre youre 18, how much muscle do you expect to have at your age? i dont even expect a teen to understand how long it takes to build muscle
You're test is low for being 18, normal test is between 350 to 800 (not 100% sure) so that would put you in the normal low, im not old I don't want to specify my age but, my test was around yours so I dedicated time to increasing my test naturally,I supplement DAA 3g a day, super saponin, & anabeta, after a month or so I went to my endo and my results came in around 660 (this was two years ago lol)
Take inhibit P by SNS for ur prolactin issues and supplement vitamin 6 too if you want.
Also i've been having problems with my heart. I went to the er cause i thought it was Freon poisoning. After an ekg and heart moniters, blood tests and 5 hours of being watched the said nothing was wrong. I took 2 weeks off of the gym, went back last night to try some legs and my heart rate went from 107 before 10 reps on leg extenions to 159.. The pt's at the gym said thats definitely not normal. Grrrr...
Whats your prework out
Yeah it's fine I mean if you took erase itsOriginally Posted by lizonsky
Almost nothing compared to that
Eh erase under 21, and l-dopa, seems like to much messing with your endocrine system to me. Buy some DAA and use that to raise your test. You don't need an AI, and you don't need a prolactin control. I've ran DAA before and its fine , suppliment reps tell you to buy erase or other non sense just to scare you into buying products. Good luck man
107 is a pretty high resting heart rate. Was the set to failure? If it was I wouldn't consider that too far from norm given your high resting. I would start monitoring your heart rate first thing in the morning. If it continues to be this high, you need to start adding in some regular moderate intensity cardio. I'd say shoot for a heart rate of 140-160, for 20-30 minutes, 3x weekly.
http://www.facebook.com/Celtic.Labs - Celtic Labs Representative
well erase doesnt have prolactin control, just stating that fact. Inhibit - P is for prolactin control, pretty much its 60 % l - dopa. Hm we all react to DAA differently as with all supplements but honestly id just go to the doctor and if your test. is really that low at 18 he can give you a more permanent solution than to raise it with supplements. Why not buy Bulk DAA from like AI Sports, its what I use and never really have an issues. But my personal opinion is to go to the doctors brotha ...... forget supplements .
You said you are type 1 diabetic. How much insulin are you using a day? What are you eating?
what is your blood pressure?
Depends on my activities for the day. 30-40 units of lantus. and 1 unit per 7grams of carbs of novalog. And i eat healthy, track macros and what not. Chicken, rice, tons of fruit, fish, cliff bars for low blood sugar. My blood sugars run 190-210 cause im usually very active. Any lower just drops. Blood pressure can be low sometimes. sometimes high. 140/80 was the other day

Welcome to prm designs, the home site of Paul Miller's marquetry and woodworks. Please take a moment to browse and get to know me and my various projects a little better.
This is not per se a commercial website although many of the pieces here are for sale. Rather it is a showcase of pieces that I have created for the sheer challenge and satisfaction of so doing.
Woodworking is by no means new to me but marquetry is. Therefore, while some of the pieces here are polished and professional, others are what I would refer to as "studies".
If you find something here that interests you or if you would simply like to comment on my work, please contact me via the contact page in the menu bar above.
Thank you for visiting prm designs.

At one time or another, most of us have crammed household belongings haphazardly into our own cars and taken to the open road. Packing smartly will ensure that precious gear and your vehicle will arrive undamaged. Here are some tips to make your next move much more pleasant and even a little easier on the lower back, too. By Ben Stewart Email Comments 0 Share Back 2 of 7 Next Return to Gallery Back Next Oleksiy Maksymenko/Getty Images View Thumbnails Proper Tire Pressures Your tires are your car's only link to the road. As you weigh down your car with boxes of old pay stubs and books you tell yourself you're going to read, and it begins to approach the GVWR, your ability to drive safely might be compromised. As weight is added the tires will bulge, the steering could become less responsive, and the underinflated tires could begin to operate at higher than desirable temperatures if you take the overloaded vehicle onto the highway. Adding some air pressure will help the tires safely compensate for the load. The owner's manual or the driver's information center on the dash will let you know how much air to add for the additional weight. Don't assume the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall is the pressure you should use. The tires on your vehicle could be designed for different types of rigs, such as a lighter crossover or a heavier pickup truck, so it's best to consult the owner's manual to learn the correct pressures. And always check and fill your tires when they are coldpreferably in the morning before you drive on them.

Israel tackles eating disorders head on
02/16/2013 22:21
Israel has restricted the appearance of underweight models in media, but much remains to be done.

Throughout history, the ideal female figure has been full and rounded, but more recent decades have seen the birth of a new phenomenon: eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. The main culprit has been the media – print and digital – that spread the word: "Painfully Thin is Beautiful." In anorexia, people may even starve themselves to death, while bulimics stuff and purge themselves by vomiting, causing serious damage to their digestive system, teeth and throat, in addition to malnourishment.
Who would have thought that young women who look like they have been on a hunger strike for a few weeks – dressed up in the latest fashions and coated with makeup – could be regarded by young people as worth imitating? About 90 percent of those suffering from eating disorders are girls and women (although in other countries like England, males constitute as many as 30% of the victims).
In the 19th century, only a handful of cases were reported, but thanks to the influence of the world media, by the 1960s the estimated figure in the Western world ballooned to 0.25 percent.
According to recent research, nearly 14% of Israeli girls and 7.1% of boys in the nine to 14 age group have the potential to develop eating disorders. But while physicians and various therapists in the field believe that the phenomenon is growing every year, the Health Ministry has failed to compile a patient registry to assess the numbers.
Thus the ministry bases itself on mere estimates of 1,500 new cases a year, and states that 330,000 Israelis will suffer from eating disorders at some time in their lives. Without documentation regarding the extent of the disorders, the medical establishment also lacks enough inpatient and outpatient facilities and professionals to treat them. It is believed that 2% of Israeli youths suffer from bulimia, 1.2% from anorexia and 3% to 5% more from non-specific eating disorders.
One in 20 anorectics actually die of the disorder.
Ironically, about a quarter of Israeli children are overweight.
The vast majority of professionals in the field are women, or at least so it seemed at the recent International Conference on Treatment Modalities for Eating Disorders at the Ramada Hotel in Jerusalem. Perhaps this is because it is considered a "helping profession" and the vast majority of patients are of women, or maybe it's because only women have the extreme patience needed to coax the victims back to a healthy life.
The two-day conference, organized by the Israeli Association of Eating Disorders (IAED), was attended by some 300 people, a third of them from abroad, including countries like Brazil, Australia, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Canada. the US and the UK. One of the guest speakers was Dr. Rachel Adatto, who on her last day as a member of the 18th Knesset explained what difficulties she went though for the law she initiated to minimize the negative influence of advertising on impressionable young people.
The law, which she conceded is imperfect, prevents the use of presenters or models in advertisements who are anorectic and requires photos that have been doctored with computer programs such as Adobe Photoshop to disclose that fact. She worked on the law for two-and-a-half years, with the Justice Ministry itself throwing up one of the many roadblocks, as it initially opposed the legislation on the grounds that it violated "freedom of occupation."
Adatto credited Prof. Yael Latzer, the conference chairman, a psychotherapist, clinical social worker and director of Rambam Medical Center's eating disorders treatment institute, for providing her with scientific proof that media exposure is involved in eating disorders.
At one of the panel discussions, a lecturer spoke about the role of sexual abuse in triggering some cases of anorexia or bulimia among children or teenagers. One lecture presented the highly unusual case of a teenage girl who went blind at the age of three and who started restricting her diet and exercising vigorously, eventually losing 17% of her body weight. She became weak, sank into depression and developed an irregular heartbeat and obsessive thoughts.
'I THINK the Knesset should play a role and go into fields where the health minister and others don't take responsibility," said Adatto, who throughout her term was a strong opponent of Deputy Health Minister Ya'acov Litzman and who made it no secret she wanted to succeed him.
"My role started with an unimportant meeting of the Knesset Public Complaints Committee on the lack of hospital beds in the periphery. The lack of facilities for treating eating disorders was touched upon, and it was opened like a Pandora's box. I learned that there was a lack of facilities around the country."
Adatto, a gynecologist and lawyer by training and former chairman of the Knesset's health lobby, set a body mass index (BMI) of 18.5 as the cutoff for presenters and models.
(BMI is calculated by dividing body weight by the square of one's height.) Thus, according to the law, an adult with a BMI below 18.5 is underweight; between 18.5 and 24.9 of normal weight; between 25 and 29.9 overweight; and 30 and over obese.
The law also covers presenters and models representing products with no connection to fashion, and also stipulates that photographs of people under the legal minimum BMI may not be published in advertisements anywhere, whether in print (including billboards) or electronically.
Advertising companies must now ensure that models and presenters are equipped with recent authorization from a physician stating the person has a BMI no lower than 18.5. Unfortunately, the law does not include fines as deterrents, but families whose loved ones were influenced by anorexic images can easily sue the companies, possibly no less an effective punitive measure than a direct fine.
The first law of its kind in the world, it attracted much attention from other countries struggling with the influences of advertising and the media on body image.
"Over 450 articles about the law appeared in the media around the world, and it promoted awareness of the eating disorders epidemic everywhere," said Adatto. "It was called the Photoshop Law," although that was only part of it.
While the media would have been expected to oppose the bill, Adatto said that while they were first cynical, "they eventually raised discussions in a serious way. They understood they have the power to push the bill forward, and they did an excellent job supporting it."
Another negative influence on eating disorder patients are the websites they set up to communicate with and support each other – and teach others how to fool their parents and doctors. These informal networks may serve as a counterweight to therapists who try to treat them. It is, however, fortunate that a handful of of Israeli "halfway houses" have been set up in recent years to help them regain a normal life after intensive therapy.
DR. ITSHAK Vorgaft, the outgoing president of IAED and director of the eating disorder sub-unit at Safed's Ziv Hospital, said eating disorders represent "a wide range of psychological, medical and sociological issues, with changes in the cognitive understanding of self, the roles we play, the perception of beauty and success, gender definition the and accelerated role of media in our lives."
Vorgaft will be replaced in his position at the association by Prof. Eytan Bachar, director of the eating disorders department for adults at Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
Latzer noted that eating disorders have become epidemic in proportion, especially among adolescent girls and women, and that the condition now appears in younger children than ever before. She said a new phenomenon was that some of the highly obese who undergo bariatric surgery to lose weight by constricting or shortening the digestive system have been diagnosed with anorexia, as they take weight loss to the extreme.
About 50% to 80% of eating disorders are influenced by genes, but they are predisposing factors, while the environment – the impact of the media and modern life – is also crucial.
"Eating disorders are a complex, poorly understood disturbance that often raises negative emotions not only among lay people but also treatment providers. They are among the psychiatric disorders considered especially difficult to treat. Research on treatment," she added, "is extremely complex [and] multi-factorial."
Prof. Daniel Stein, director of the pediatric psychosomatic department at the Safra Children's Hospital at Sheba Medical Center added that he had witnessed many more cases of children with selective eating, i.e.
children that are very spoiled about what food they eat, and said some of these cases develop into eating disorders.
Dr. Rachel Bachner-Melman, a senior lecturer in behavioral sciences at the Ruppin Academic Center's psychology department and the Hebrew University said she had noticed more older women showing up with anorexia, even pregnant women.
"I have treated many people with night eating disorder, some of them sleepwalkers who get up in the middle of the night and don't even realize they're going to the refrigerator.
Judith Banker, director of the Center for Eating Disorders in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that both clinical evidence and research must be used to conclude what eating disorder treatments are most effective. She recalled the tragic story of 19th-century Hungarian-Jewish physician Ignaz Semmelweis, who discovered from treating women in labor that their death rate dropped significantly – from as high as 30% to 1% – if those who deliver their babies wash their hands with soap and water. No one understand the mechanism of infection at the time, but he urged cleanliness nonetheless.
Yet the medical establishment ridiculed him; he was confined to a mental asylum and beaten by a guard. He died at the age of 47, two weeks after being committed, from blood poisoning caused by his wounds.
Banker said that Semmelweis, an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures, had much to teach his colleagues, even though he had not conducted research as the basis for changing medical behavior.
"Integrating individual clinical expertise with the best available external clinical evidence from systematic research and patient preference is the way to advance the treatment of eating disorders," she continued.
But in the US, "everything has been taken over by managed care" to save money, and there is a gap between treatment found to work and what has been found in clinical trials. "Researchers and clinicians often fail to persuade each other. It can take as long as 17 years between between the discovery of an effective treatment and its incorporation into routine care," she said. This is especially a problem because eating disorders are so complex, with depression, genes, biology, temperament and other factors involved in them, she added.
"Multidisciplinary specialists are needed to treat them. Psychodynamic, family-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT] may be successful in treating anorexia," Banker continued. "Anti-depressive drugs appear to be of little benefit. In the event of bulimia, certain drugs and CBT can help treat the condition. But only about half of patients are better in five years," she said.
"Providing clinical care is not rewarded at academic institutions, and the demands of clinical practice make it difficult to stay on top of research. Clinicians in the field feel under attack from the research community."
In any case, with psychiatric care still the responsibility of the Health Ministry and not the health funds, it takes a minimum of three months to get treatment in public clinics, and the number of beds is much too small. The Adatto law is expected to make a dent in the numbers affected by eating disorders, but the health establishment still needs to launch a comprehensive program to fight the disorder before it spins out of control.

Depending on the material that your bathtub is made of, you might have the option to refinish it rather than replace it. If your bathtub is made of porcelain, cast iron, or fiberglass, it can be refinished. The cost-effectiveness of refinishing versus replacing your tub depends on the cost of tub removal, dumping, and the cost of the new tub itself, as well as installation. This is especially true for "period tubs", like old claw-foot tubs. For example, The Fine FInish Shop, an expert painting company near Boston, lists $349 as their standard price for refinishing a bathtub, whereas vintage-style claw-foot tubs are generally listed in the high $900's to the thousands.
The process of refinishing a bathtub is a lot like auto-body work. Uneven or damaged surfaces are etched, then primed, then spray painted with a special enamel. Sometimes the entire tub needs to be refinished, and sometimes just a portion of the tub needs to be refinished. It costs less to refinish just a portion of the bathtub. In some cases, the bathtub refinishing professional only needs to clean the tub in order to restore it to its former glory.
Professional refinishing: The best option for refinishing your bathtub is to hire a professional to refinish it. As I said, refinishing a tub is a lot like auto-body work. The margin for error is high, and the chemicals used in the process must be properly contained and ventilated. Refinishing your bathtub is not an unskilled, easy DIY job. Considering that it really doesn't cost that much (compared to replacing the bathtub), hiring skilled refinishing company who specializes in this kind of work could cost you less in time and money in the long run than doing it yourself.
DIY Tub and Tile Refinishing: If you must, and I don't recommend it, DIY tub and tile refinishing kits exist, and can be found at your local home improvement store. Let the buyer beware: Though these kits can offer quick aesthetic improvements, in the long run their users have some pretty serious complaints, including peeling and wearing off of the finish.
Let's wrap this up: The bottom line with bathtub refinishing is it is generally more cost efficient to have a contractor refinish your bath tub than to replace the tub or to do it yourself.

No thoughts on the game 'cause I haven't played it, but I find it interesting how one of the devs said: "If you can't buy it, just pirate it".
I haven't played it too much, but it's really fun.
It's too addictive. I play it for hours on end if I open it up, and all I do is make houses or mine stuff :I
I like the game, but every time I play it I end up wasting three or four hours without even knowing. Not to mention all the rage it's put me through so far. :P

< Return To Hearing
Senator Don WhiteApril 9, 2007
Testimony of Good Morning Senator Specter and members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I am Pennsylvania State Senator Don White and I serve as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking and Insurance. It is an honor to be invited by Senator Specter to testify at this important public hearing and I would like to applaud him for scheduling this event. I appreciate the opportunity to provide the Judiciary Committee with a perspective of the Highmark/ Independence Blue Cross (IBC) merger from the state government level and to discuss the concerns that I, and others, have regarding this proposal. The potential affect on the availability and quality of health care coverage in Pennsylvania could be profound. You have already heard from the principal players in the merger, as well as from officials from the health care industry and are fully aware of the magnitude of this proposal. The questions Senator Specter posed to Highmark and IBC prior to this hearing are most appropriate and accurately summarize the concerns we all should have. The state legislature is moving rapidly to ensure maximum review and oversight over this proposed merger occurs. Currently, under the Commonwealth's GAA Amendments Act and the Insurance Holding Companies Act, the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance is empowered to review proposed mergers of for-profit health insurance providers. Such review is intended to protect the interests of both policyholders and the marketplace by directing the Department of Insurance to protect the integrity of the insurance market through review of corporate transactions for anti-competitive effect. Unfortunately, under current law, the Highmark-IBC deal, because it involves two 'Blues' organizations, is not subject to the same scrutiny. In response, I introduced Senate Bill 550 which would provide the Pennsylvania Department of Insurance oversight power over mergers involving non-profit health care insurers such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield. SB 550 will ensure this proposal comes under the same scrutiny as if they were for-profit corporate transactions. If the existing gap in the Department's regulatory authority is allowed to persist, the Department will remain unable to protect the interests of the Blue plans' policyholders in ruling on corporate transactions, or review any pending transaction involving the parent Blue plans for anti-competitive effect. However, I am confident we will correct this gap in a very timely manner. The state Attorney General must also have the authority necessary to review this proposed merger and I am working with his office to ensure that is the case. While economies of scale and efficiencies may be achieved by this merger and result in positive short-term benefits, there must be concern over its long-term affects. Creating the third largest insurer in the nation with a specifically defined geographic territory is not, I believe, in the best interests of competition and the reality is competition is in the best interests of the consumer. There is no better regulator than a competitive marketplace - in terms of bringing better service, better products and better prices to consumers, and in terms of giving consumers and providers real and fair choices. In my own district, I've seen the problems providers and consumers face from a lack of competition in health insurance - it can lead to some real predatory practices. We need to make sure such practices are not spread across the Commonwealth through this merger. Highmark and IBC contend the merger should be approved based on the premise that it will result in savings. If so, then there needs to be iron clad assurances that those savings will occur not only in the short term but also the long term. Further, any savings should not be used to support growing operations in other states or in lines of business outside of insurance. Moreover, we need to make sure those savings do not come at the cost of consumers' accessibility to needed health care - and to the doctors, hospitals, pharmacists and other who provide that care. Finally this merger must not undercut the social mission obligation that Highmark and IBC have - an obligation that is part of their being excused from premium taxes and affords them other statutory advantages under Pennsylvania law. Again, thank you Senator Specter and members of the Judiciary Committee for your interest in this critical issue and I look forward to working with you on this matter in the months ahead. |

Born in Louisville, Kentucky on July 18, 1937, Hunter S. Thompson is best known for authoring Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and is credited with creating "Gonzo journalism," a highly personal style of reporting where a writer becomes so involved in the story that they become central figures in their piece. His hard-driving lifestyle, which included the steady use of illicit drugs and firearms,
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."
"[Fame is like] falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool of mermaids."
made Thompson a counterculture icon perpetually popular with college students. After several bouts of poor health, Thompson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 2005.
Younger Years
Hunter Stockton Thompson was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 18, 1939. The future author was the son of an insurance agent who died while he was in high school, and an alcoholic mother, who was left penniless.
A natural prankster and troublemaker, Thompson was arrested along with two friends for stealing a man's wallet while he was in high school. Given a choice of prison or the military, Thompson joined the United States Air Force.
Early Career: Journalist
Thompson got his first exposure to journalism as a sports reporter for an Air Force newspaper at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. After being honorably discharged in 1958, Thompson pursued journalism as a career and landed a series of jobs at a variety of small-town newspapers, as well as a short stint as a copy boy at Time magazine.
Thompson later said that the "Gonzo journalism" was born while he trying to piece together a story about the Kentucky Derby on deadline. The resulting rambling first-person story, The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, which was more about the experience of watching the race rather than the actual race, was published in Scanlan's Monthly in June 1970. At the time, the piece was hailed as a breakthrough in journalism. Thompson was inundated with fan mail and phone calls, which he said was like "falling down an elevator shaft and landing in a pool of mermaids."
Fueled by alcohol and drugs, Thompson was always on the lookout for a story and was especially interested in anything that would skewer what he saw as America's hypocrisy. Thompson chronicled the cultural shift occurring in America during the late 1960s and 1970s. He was not only a cultural observer, but also a participant in that he was often the central part of his stories.
Mid-Career: Author
Thompson wrote his first novel, The Rum Diary, based on his experience working as a freelance journalist in Puerto Rico, in 1959. The book was first published in 1998.
In his first book, Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga, published in 1967, Thompson, in typical gonzo journalism style, chronicled his time infiltrating the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang. "I was no longer sure whether I was doing research on the Hell's Angels or being slowly absorbed by them," he wrote about the experience.
In 1970, Thompson unsuccessfully ran for sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado, on the "Freak Power Movement" ticket. His story about the campaign experience, The Battle of Aspen, was his first of many contributions to Rolling Stone magazine.

Cruise Control: Tom's Son Deejays at The Darby Downstairs
In the 1980s, Nell's was the spot. Now, in 2012, American Psycho's Patrick Bateman's favorite club operates as The Darby Downstairs.
On Monday night, Connor Cruise, the 17-year-old son of Tom and Nicole, stood behind the deejay booth at the narrow, subterranean 14th Street lounge. Mr. Cruise, wearing a black T-shirt bearing an image of a bat, looked quizzically at a can of Red Bull before opening it and adjusting his headphones. Read More

Further exploring the role biological processes could one day play in the evolution of technology, researchers from the European Bioinformatics Institute claim to have successfully encoded 154 Shakespeare sonnets and an MP3 of Martin Luther King's famed "I Have a Dream" speech into a single DNA strand -- or in other words about 739KB of information. Perhaps the most amazing part though, is researchers were able to read those files again with 100 percent accuracy. Will we eventually store our digital lives as strands of DNA?
The fact DNA can store information is of little surprise; DNA strands are essentially chemical-based instruction manuals for developing highly complex organisms with a seemingly infinite variety of permutations.
"We realized that DNA itself is a really efficient way of storing information," one researcher noted. It was this thinking led the team of scientists to consider using DNA as a digital storage medium. "So over a second beer, we started to write on napkins and sketch out some details of how that might be made to work," he continued.
In fact, DNA is so fantastically efficient, researchers believe they can cram about 2.2 petabytes of information into a single gram of DNA. "We recovered 757,051 bytes of information from 337 pg of DNA (above), giving an information storage density of ~2.2 PB/g (= 757,051/337 × 10-12)", the paper claims. That's remarkably better than today's storage technologies. By comparison, it would take several hundred 3.5-inch 4TB hard drives to match that kind of storage density.
Importantly, researchers also believe their DNA encoding scheme produces data that is reliable and long-lived. Their methods of DNA-based storage include error-correction and redundancy which protect against data loss. The big drawback though, for now, appears to be price.
According to those involved with the experiment -- using current methods for DNA manipulation -- the approximate cost per gigabyte is somewhere around $12,400/MB. "It's an unthinkably large amount of money," one researcher noted. However, his team feels that in about 10 years, DNA storage could become more cost-effective than traditional storage methods for large enterprises.
Aside from obvious cost concerns, the researchers' omission of write and retrieval speeds could prove to be another sticking point. One of the documents notes, "The experiment was not optimised for speed" but the timeline therein indicates processing times measured in "days" rather than seconds. It's unclear how much improvement can be made in this area.
Intrepid readers can view more details regarding the experiment here (pdf) as well as a proposed specification (pdf) for the encoding and decoding of computer files contained within DNA fragments.

No, they aren't. They'll try to stifle this just like every other advancement in storage technology.
I wonder what the access time would be on this thing. I'd love to make a DVR of EVERYTHING imaginely possible.I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be random-access, and would read kind of like tape drives. If that's the case, I'm pretty sure it won't sit well next to flash storage except when extremely large amounts of information need to be stored.

Don't look at me!! I still don't understand how it's possible, even after reading the article.
"this is the pooolice!. open up your mouth so we can gather evidence."

kidding set aside, factors which can cause dna damage must be avoided such as:
1. Exposure to UV light.
2. Mechanical shearing.
3. Phenol extraction.
4. Dessication.
5. Heating.

Wow, DNA can store music..! This goes a long way toward explaining Jimi Hendrix, (and quite a few others).

In Montgomery County, a shopping list landed a Collegeville woman in some trouble.
Whitemarsh Township police arrested a 21-year-old after they say she rear-ended an elderly man's car at a stop sign on April 28.
But it's what police found in her car that makes this unique.
It was a bizarre shopping list that read, "chicken breast, German potato salad, Pepsi, Xanex (sic), cocaine, get high and muscle relaxers."
Cops say the young woman seemed out of it, and she was taken to the hospital for a blood test.
Charges are pending the outcome of those tests.
