For some strange reason I am in constant search for the perfect web browser, does it even exist? Every time a new browser is released I download it and put it to my test and every time for one reason or another I always end up reverting back to Safari. Does this mean Safari is the best browser available for the Mac? My main gripe with Safari is that it seems slow and crashes frequently. This week The Camino Project released their new open source web browser Camino 1.0. Camino combines an impressive visual and behavioral experience that has been central to the Macintosh philosophy with the powerful web-browsing capabilities of the Gecko rendering engine. The only browser available that combines the rendering power of Gecko with the Aqua user interface, Camino 1.0 offers superior integration with the Mac platform and a focused feature set. Among Camino’s signature features are elegant tabbed browsing, an enhanced bookmarks manager, and built-in ad-blocking. I have been using Camino 1.0 for a few days now and I have to say I am really impressed. The feature set has worked flawlessly thus far and Camino is certainly much faster than Safari. I do not have one reason to revert back to Safari as of yet, Camino Rules!

Cystic Fibrosis Foundation...
The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation --a donor-supported, nonprofit organization--is to assure the development of the means to cure and control Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease.

The Story of 65 Roses...
65 Roses® is what some children with CF call their disease because the words are much easier for them to pronounce. Mary G. Weiss became a volunteer for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 1965 after learning that her three little boys had CF. Her duty was to call every civic club, social and service organization seeking financial support for CF research. Mary's 4-year old son, Richard, listened closely to his mother as she made each call. After several calls, Richard came into the room and told his Mom, "I know what you are working for." Mary was dumbstruck because Richard did not know what she was doing, nor did he know that he had cystic fibrosis. With some trepidation, Mary posed the question, "What am I working for, Richard?" "You are working for 65 Roses," he answered so sweetly. Mary was speechless. She went over to him and tenderly pressed his body to hers. He could not see the tears running down Mary's cheeks as she stammered, "Yes Richard, I'm working for 65 Roses."
Since 1965, the term "65 Roses" has been used by children of all ages to describe their disease. But, making it easier to say, does not make CF any easier to live with. The "65 Roses" story has captured the hearts and emotions of all who have heard it. The rose, appropriately the ancient symbol of love, has become a symbol of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
