Transferring or sharing large files to another computer or person that is not on a local network can be an arduous task. I have found two utilities that simplify this task. FileChute is an application thats sole purpose is to quickly and effortlessly share files and folders between multiple Macs across your LAN via a drag & drop interface. Fetch is and FTP/SFTP client that requires you to connect into an FTP space or web space, put the file onto the remote server and then send a link to the people who the file is intended for. Both utilities perform flawlessly and are highly recommended. I personally prefer Fetch for its FTP/SFTP abilities and its WebView feature.

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.
Please see the CF Foundation's annual report to: review audited financial statements; read a summary of program service accomplishments, and see a roster of the officers of the CF Foundation and members of the Board of Trustees.
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.
