I'm not getting comment notifications reliably anymore, and I've read that internet mail services have identified Livejournal as a spam source, and are blocking notifications. I have just switched from Yahoo mail to gmail, to see if I can work around this and start getting my notifications again.

Editors note:Gmail will still deliver LJ notifications. Yahoo seems to dump them into the digital void.

Some new people moved in nearby, and they have a collection of junk to the side of their driveway, and now nasty garbage is being strewn across the street from their house. I really hate this low-life behavior, and have just filed an on-line report with the county. I hope the code enforcement people show up and educate these scumbags.

While working a technical job at KGO TV, Mr. Stanley started manufacturing large quantities of LSD. Bear Research Group reputedly made more than 1.25 million doses between 1965 and 1967, essentially seeding the entire modern psychedelic movement.

His lab was raided in 1966 by Berkeley police, who thought they found methedrine. When the substance turned out to be something else, Mr. Stanley successfully sued the cops for the return of his lab equipment.

He was arrested in 1967 at his secret lab in Orinda but didn't serve time until a 1970 pot bust in Oakland prompted a judge to revoke his bail. Mr. Stanley served two years at Terminal Island near the Los Angeles Harbor.

"I wound up doing time for something I should have been rewarded for," he said in a rare 2007 interview with The Chronicle's Joel Selvin. "What I did was a community service, the way I look at it. I was punished for political reasons. Absolutely meaningless. Was I a criminal? No. I was a good member of society - only my society and the one making the laws are different."
