I like Google Chrome. I'm really surprised at how much faster it is than Firefox. It took me a while to get used to but besides being faster it is nicer that Chrome doesn't waste viewing space. It was annoying that when I was downloading a driver I was unable to do it on anything but I.E or Firefox.

Riverkeeper Cleanup Day 9/26Fall Clean Up! Buffalo Niagara RIVERKEEPER is calling for citizens to join the Fall Shoreline Sweep to clean up the shorelines in Western New York on Saturday September 25th, 9 a.m. until noon, coinciding with the International Coastal Cleanup and Sunday September 26th, noon until 3 pm, to celebrate World Rivers Day. For a complete list of sites and dates for each and to register, please click here
Mike and I did this in the Spring and I thought it was rewarding. People trash it again right after you clean it up but if I didn't have to work I would do it again. I really wish I had a garbage claw and I would work on cleaning up the trash along the rocks along the Niagara.

I didn't read this closely enough but now I realize I can volunteer. Most sites in Buffalo are being cleaned on Sunday noon to 3. I need a garbage claw stat!

Heinz Canada vs USI promised to write about ketchup in my next journal but I forgot and posted about naked people who "cycle" {{{{(e:brit)}}}}} while face painted.
So has anyone else noticed the taste between Canadian ketchup and US ketchup? Or the difference between US and any where else they sell ketchup? I'm only referring to Heinz when it comes to the difference between US and Canadian ketchup.
When I met Mike in Niagara Falls Canada for lunch I remarked at how sweet the ketchup was. Mike looked at the label and read liquid sugar and I knew right away it was the sugar that made the difference. As we know {{{{(e:brit)}}}}} the US crap is made with freaking corn syrup. I hate corn syrup and am just about ready to get it out of my life but that will be somewhat challenging since I don't want to go crazy about it. They use it so much and just like {{{{(e:brit)}}}}}} will attest to, it is in almost everything we eat as a replacement for sugar because of government subsidies to the corn industry.
When I went to Cuba for a semester I loved their beer and their soda. Not sure what it was about the beer, and for that matter the rum, but the soda was better than ours definitely because they make it with real sugar vs our corn syrup and it was delicious!!!
Heinz says this specifically about the difference between US and other countries...

Mike does say that he thinks that Canadian ketchup is too sweet. I loved it so I got a bottle of Annie's when I got home because it is made with real sugar. I love Annie's especially their BBQ sauce....yummy!
Upon further investigation, it appears that Hunt's is a good way to go if you don't want to spend the money on organic.

Check the bottle before you buy and make a taste comparison. Next supermarket outing I am going to see if they have the new Hunts with the real sugar. Now if only Coca Cola would get their HFCS asses in gear! PepsiCo if you want to beat Coca Cola in Cola sales switch to real sugar and you got em!
I would rather pay more to have real sugar. If people can afford to eat less of these products it certainly won't kill them. Has anyone ever tried using a Soda Stream?

The secret ketchup recipe!
Only 8 to 10 people in the world know the exact recipe for Heinz ketchup. You may also be surprised to learn that, although Heinz has one basic recipe, there are differences - depending in which country it is made in. For example, ketchup users in Canada, England, Australia and Venezuela like their ketchup a bit sweeter than Ketchup users in the U.S. and Mainland Europeans, who tend to like their ketchup a bit spicier.

Upon further investigation, it appears that Hunt's is a good way to go if you don't want to spend the money on organic.
OMAHA, Neb. — ConAgra Foods Inc. has removed high fructose corn syrup from its Hunt's brand ketchup.
Shoppers have been shying away from high-fructose corn syrup due to health concerns, and it was consumer demand that drove the changes, said Hunt's brand manager Ryan Toreson.
Hunt's is the latest brand to make the shift.
PepsiCo Inc. removed all high-fructose corn syrup from sports drink Gatorade and replaced it with cane sugar.
Some nutritionists cite the syrup as part of the country's obesity problem, though industry scientists and many dietitians say it is no more fattening than sugar.
Corn syrup is popular with manufacturers partly because it is cheaper than sugar.
Hunt's Tomato Ketchup has five ingredients: tomatoes, sugar, vinegar, salt and other seasonings, the company said.
The products should be on all store shelves by the middle of this month.
The price has not changed, the company said.

It seems that Mexican Coke is always available now at Wegmans, you can find it as it's in the glass bottles. Also right now there's throwback Pepsi & Mountain Dew out now with the real stuff.
It is disgusting how syrup is in everything. What I would like and it seems that is happening now with pop is that they are giving you the option. I am willing to pay more for real sugar. Also I remember when I realized that the HP sauce I bought was made with high fructose corn syrup, I immediately threw it out.

In my experience, this is true of most condiments and sauces and salad dressings. I think just about every brand tweaks the formulas to the tastes of the country involved.
It is also true of Cadbury chocolate bars - the U.K., Canadian and U.S. made bars all taste a wee bit different.

Ketchup is made of 30% pumpkin in India. It's true. (And somehow I like ketchup at home way better than here. :))

Naked CyclingThis looks so fun. I can't believe how popular this body painting and biking is. What I found is pretty heavy on the dudes but there are some girls too. I got them all from nakedriders.tumblr.com These are the best ones I found of the body painting.
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.

Very Nice, also very ceative by some
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

One of the first weeks here in Portland was naked cycling weekend. It was, oh my god, so fucking cold that weekend. But, at 12AM there were so many drunk, naked people all over downtown. There were not so many people painted, but a whole lot of tittie and wang.

Seems like it would be especially fun on two conditions.
1. You were a good artist or had a good artist friend.
2. You had a big one.

when I get a new computer I'm going back to chrome for sure. Not sure how it works but there are ways you can move the tabs around and see multiple ones at the same time and stuff........
I haven't used firefox at home for more than a year now (and I haven't used IE in nearly 6 years). And I don't miss them at all.
You should next switch to Fedora. :-)
