Naked Cycling
Some of my favorite pics I wasn't able to upload, (e:paul). What would happen when I drop the image file is that it would go to a blank web page showing just the picture. When I would hit the back button, I would have to re-edit the journal in order to post. I'm not sure what is triggering it but I can send you the photos that were problems if you want.

Niagara Falls bike trip
I was hoping to find somewhere to swim along the way but I only saw some kids jumping off a bridge into a channel right before the Falls. Mike met me for lunch and we went to Kelsey's. The one downfall of biking to the Falls is that it is expensive to find something to eat because it is so touristy. It was also hard to deal with tourists in your way after biking for a couple of hours.
Going over the Peace Bridge was really scary for me and I actually messed it up. I went into the US customs check point by accident because I didn't read the sign and then after they said I had to cross the bridge I accidentally almost went onto the 190 on my bicycle! When I was half way across, I stopped and looked over at the mighty Niagara. It made me nauseous so I had to look away and continue on.
I saw this dead tree with all these great birds, which maybe someone on estrip can tell me what they are? These are the only photos I took.
Now that I know how easy it is to go to Canada, I might try and explore Fort Erie more. Did you know they have a dance club?!

Shooting prisoners with energy beams
LA authorities plan to use heat-beam ray in jail
AP
This image provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows an Assault Intervention Device (AID) at the Pitchess Detention Center's North AP – This image provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department shows an Assault Intervention Device …
By THOMAS WATKINS, Associated Press Writer Thomas Watkins, Associated Press Writer – Fri Aug 27, 12:50 am ET
LOS ANGELES – A device designed to control unruly inmates by blasting them with a beam of intense energy that causes a burning sensation is drawing heat from civil rights groups who fear it could cause serious injury and is "tantamount to torture."
The mechanism, known as an "Assault Intervention Device," is a stripped-down version of a military gadget that sends highly focused beams of energy at people and makes them feel as though they are burning. The Los Angeles County sheriff's department plans to install the device by Labor Day, making it the first time in the world the technology has been deployed in such a capacity.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California criticized Sheriff Lee Baca's decision in a letter sent Thursday, saying that the technology amounts to a ray gun at a county jail. The 4-feet-tall weapon, which looks like a cross between a robot and a satellite radar, will be mounted on the ceiling and can swivel.
It is remotely controlled by an operator in a separate room who lines up targets with a joystick.
The ACLU said the weapon was "tantamount to torture," noting that early military versions resulted in five airmen suffering lasting burns. It requested a meeting with Baca, who declined the invitation.
The sheriff unveiled the device last week and said it would be installed in the dorm of a jail in north Los Angeles County. It is far less powerful than the military version and has various safeguards in place, including a three-second limit to each beam of heat.
The natural response when blasted — to leap out the way — would be helpful in bringing difficult inmates under control and quelling riots, the sheriff said.
But the sheriff was creating a dangerous environment with "a weapon that can cause serious injury that is being put into a place where there is a long history of abuse of prisoners," ACLU attorney Peter Eliasberg said. "That is a toxic combination."
Cmdr. Bob Osborne, who oversees technology for the sheriff's department, said the concerns were unfounded. He said he stood in front of the beam more than 50 times and that it never caused any sort of lasting damage.
"The neat thing with this device is you experience pain but you are not injured by it," Osborne said. "It doesn't injure your skin, the beam doesn't have the power to do that."
He said the device would be a more humane way of dealing with jail disturbances. Unlike hitting inmates with batons or deploying tear gas, a shot from the beam has no aftereffects, he said.
The device was made specifically for the sheriff's department by Raytheon Missile Systems. Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said its $750,000 cost was paid for by a Department of Justice technology grant.
After a six-month trial, the sheriff will determine if the device is effective and if it should be deployed in other jails.
"When this pilot program is done, the realistic hope is it will accomplish not only what the sheriff's department wants but what the ACLU wants, which is to save lives harmlessly," Whitmore said.
A Raytheon spokesman on Thursday referred questions to the sheriff's department, but provided a fact sheet describing how the device only penetrates skin to a depth 1/64 of an inch. The military's version of the device can shoot a beam more than 800 feet but the sheriff's department model has a maximum range of 85 feet.
Angelica Arias, an attorney with the county's Office of Independent Review, which monitors the sheriff's department, said only deputies with special training would be able to use the device and a video would be automatically recorded each time it is operated.
"Based on the level of scrutiny the department has put on itself and its training, it doesn't appear there would be too much wiggle room for misuse," Arias said

Plumbing issues
Here you can see on the left a small drop of water coming out of the joint. I felt above it and it was dry so it is definitely at the joint.
This is from the bottom up. Again you can see the drop at the joint.
This picture is to ask if the knob at the right end is to turn off the water before I try and fix it?
I have no idea what I am doing so I just want to know if I can fix this myself or if I should call the dumb and dumber team to try and fix it? I really don't want them coming in here when I am not home and I know they won't try and arrange a mutual time to come and fix it. Last I knew it was they just show up on Saturday morning to come and fix whatever problem without giving notice first.

Flowers in the Attic
It really is quite scary and totally insane. So when I started thinking about the book I decided to see if I could find the movie online and I watched it on youtube in about 15 parts. The movie was really good too. It didn't quite get into the incest but it dabbled in it. Flowers in the Attic is really dark and disturbed.
This is the book cover, although when I read it the book was a black hard cover with no jacket. It made me not want to read it considering the title was Flowers in the Attic, I thought what kind of crap is this.
This is the woman who plays the grandmother in the movie.

are you a. straight b. gay/lesbian c. bisexual d. transgendered??
I think SNL should do a skit about calling a "Quitline" to get free patches in which the caller is asked all of these ridiculous and personal questions. When the caller objects asking what this has to do with smoking the phone rep can remind them that these questions are mandatory if they want the free product.
For example....
Which of the following do you consider yourself?
a.straight
b.gay/lesbian
c. bisexual
d.transgendered
You're gay ok. Now which of the following best represents your preference
a.top
b.bottom
c. versatile
So that's my idea for an SNL skit. I think it would be really funny.

in terms of the guys I wonder do you get it hard 1st and then paint it, cause if you see some guy or girl and get wood the painting might not work or look right
In Terms of the droping thing I had the same problem before. it isn't the pictures that you are having the trouble with, I think what it is , is where you drop them, next to the picture as you move it if you get a plus sign and you drop it it makes the picture its own page, this happened to me a couple times and it is annoying, I'm not sure if i'm 100% on how it happens but it has something to do with how you drop the picture
The elephant guy is cute but it would have been awesome if he had a really long trunk!~
1. You were a good artist or had a good artist friend.
2. You had a big one.
