The TMC Center For Sleep Health
Why can't I sleep?
Getting a good night's sleep is essential to good health. A continuous lack of quality sleep can have a negative impact on virtually every aspect of health. Poor sleep may reduce your ability to learn, think and pay attention to details. It can increase your risk of accidental injury while driving or operating machinery. A few sleep disorders can even be life-threatening.
TMC can help
Research has shown that more than 70 million Americans are not able to get the sleep they need. A variety of factors contribute to lack of sleep—from a noisy environment to a medical disorder.
The TMC Center for Sleep Health can help. Our experienced staff, which includes board-certified sleep medicine physicians and a neurologist, can help determine specifically what is causing your sleep problem, and the exact way to fix it.
How do I know if I should be tested for a sleep disorder?
If you or a loved one has one of the following signs, it may indicate a sleep disorder and should be evaluated by a physician:
• Habitual loud snoring, especially when associated with pauses or snorting noises.
• Frequent brief choking, awakening with gasping or shortness of breath.
• Awakening with a headache.
• Persistent sleepiness when awake or episodes of falling asleep unintentionally.
• Persistent fatigue.
• Persistent difficulty falling or staying asleep.
• An urge to keep moving the legs at bedtime or a rhythmic twitching of the legs after falling asleep.
• Unusual behaviors during sleep such as sleepwalking.
A sleep-friendly environment
Your sleep study will be conducted in a spacious, private laboratory—a customized guestroom at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center, 2345 McGee Street, in Kansas City. This state-of-the-art facility is part of hotel-based sleep clinics in the United States. Adapted to monitor sleeping patterns, the laboratory creates a natural, comfortable setting to help patients sleep normally.
The laboratory includes a monitoring system for detecting brain waves and your breathing pattern. The facilities are designed with the patient in mind for maximum simplicity, privacy and comfort, with the top-quality care you can expect from Truman Medical Centers. At the Sheraton, you'll find:
- Free valet parking
- Exceptional surroundings
- A snack basket courtesy of TMC
- A short walk to the elevator
- Personalized attention from your own sleep technologist
Planning your overnight sleep study
- Please arrive at the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center by 7:30 p.m., valet-park your car and take the elevator to the fifth floor.
- Eat dinner before arriving. Do not drink beverages containing caffeine or alcohol.
- Bring your nighttime medications and comfortable sleepwear.
- Remove makeup and nail polish (clear is okay). Your hair should be free of hair care products.
- Bring all of your current medications and plan to take them as usual, unless your doctor says otherwise.
- You may relax and watch television on the evening of your study, but it is important to stay awake until your scheduled bedtime (usually 9:00 to 10:00 p.m.)
- You may shower or bathe in your room on the morning after your sleep study.
- For the courtesy of all our patients, we ask that you contact us 48 hours in advance if you must cancel. Patients who cancel more than once must get a new referral from their physician.
Setting your appointment
Initial appointments are scheduled in the Truman Medical Centers Sleep Health Center. Most patients undergoing sleep studies will spend a night in the Sheraton Kansas City Hotel at Crown Center sleep laboratory. Patients also may be referred to appropriate specialists in neurology, pulmonology, pediatrics, otolaryngology, psychiatry or other TMC Departments.

Greens Hx® is a food-based dietary supplement that comes in a convenient powder formula. It is formulated to provide you with the right nutrition that is required by your body to maintain a good level of energy. A great pick-me up first thing in the morning!
Energy comes from good nutrition. Greens Hx® contains freeze dried plant extracts naturally preserved from 39 beneficial super foods, including sea greens and vegetables, as well as high-density nutritious herbs, spices, royal jelly, apple pectin, plant enzymes and non-dairy probiotics.
Spirulina is a type of sea green or blue-green algae (a single or small multi-celled plant that grows in the water without a stem) that grows in lakes and ponds. Spirulina has been used as a highly nutritious super-food for thousands of years by the Aztec and Mayan civilizations and throughout Asia and Africa. Spirulina is a rich source of amino acids, minerals including zinc, copper, iron, and selenium, B-complex vitamins, carotenoids, vitamin E, and the omega-6 fatty acid GLA. It is so nutritious it has been used in Russia to help support immune system function of those exposed to environmental disasters. It is healthy and protective for the liver, the heart, nasal passages, bone marrow and organs of detoxification. Nutritious for those exposed to strong pollutants, environmental toxins, hazards and heavy metals.
Chlorella, like its cousin spirulina, is a member of a group of tiny blue-green algae that are highly nutritious due to their vitamin/mineral content and biological capabilities. It has long been known that chlorella is a source of B vitamins, minerals and detox factors, however genetic studies are showing they also have fatty acids that are healthy for the body. Impressive results showed that linolenic acid (Omega-3, algae DHA) and linoleic acid (Omega 6) were the most potent fatty acids found in chlorella. Fatty acids such as Omega-3 and 6 can contribute to fat regulation in the body, such as cholesterol lowering. Algae DHA is also associated with positive effects for brain mass, memory and learning.
Greens Hx® is terrific for the immune system to help you stay healthy all season long. Just one scoop, or 9 grams, of Greens Hx® offers essential vitamin and mineral micronutrients and antioxidants at a high enough level to supplement few servings of vegetables in the diet. It also contains 3g of fiber per serving to support healthy digestion. Despite its rich vegetable content, it is low in potassium. For relief of occasional constipation, Greens Hx® is a safe and gentle bowel and colon formula. Greens Hx® can be taken as a dietary supplement for nutritional maintenance of healthy immune system function and regular bowel elimination.
Also, Greens Hx® is a great alternative for children who won't eat vegetables. If there is a shortcut to vegetable consumption, this could be it – despite the green color, kids might not recognize the veggies in Greens Hx® at all! You can stir a scoop of this potent dietary supplement into juices, smoothies, baked goods and creamsicles. Send us your favorite recipes using Greens Hx®! We all need to eat our vegetables and some of us need more in times of illness or poor appetite. Can also be used to weight loss and muscle building protein shakes. Greens Hx® can help you supplement with super nutrition to help your body function optimally. Designed to balance out the natural tartness of the Reds Hx®, it is sweetened with natural stevia. Mix them together for a super fruit and vegetable supplement. Greens Hx® also combines well with other InVite superfood powders such as Cocoa Hx®, Organic Flax Seed Powder and Proteins Powder.
Allergy Warning: This product contains soy.
Greens Hx® contains 30 servings per container. Suggested serving size is one (1) 9g scoop in a glass of water or juice once or twice a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

I am an 82 year young woman with energy to spare thanks to Reds and Greens. I have been using these products for about 3 years and have recommended these to many friends and my pastor.
Yvonne Brooklyn, NY
I was experiencing low energy and needed to increase my greens intake. Greens Hx® came highly recommended. I tried other brands but nothing worked or increased my energy level like this product. I mix it in my protein drink in the morning, which gives me a great start to my day!

great shoe and a great deal
"Have purchased Brooks specifically because I need wide width to deal with my growing bunions. These shoes and most Brooks athletic shoes do not bind around the bunion area. There is a mesh on the sides where the bunions stick out. Nothing to rub against the sides of my feet! I am on my feet all day as a personal assistant and this is my shoe of choice for everyday chores."

Connacht claimed a shock 34-6 victory over Leinster in their PRO12 encounterat the Sportsground in Galway on Friday.
Connacht claimed a shock 34-6 victory over Leinster in their PRO12 clash at the Sportsground in Galway on Friday.
Ian Madigan kicked the visitors into an early lead but Connacht struck the first meaningful blow after quarter of an hour when centre Dave McSharry crossed moments after Michael Swift had been held up over the line.
And, although Madigan kicked another three points for the Heineken Cup holders, it was the home side that looked the more incisive and McSharry turned provider midway through the first half as he set up Fetu'u Vainikolo to score.
Brendan Macken was sent to the sin bin for the final ten minutes of the half to make it even more difficult for Leinster. Their hosts took full advantage as Tiernan O'Halloran scored the third try of the night and debutant Dan Parks added a late penalty to make it 22-6 at the break.
Leinster battled hard in the second half but they struggled to gain any sort of momentum as Madigan missed a shot at goal and they were unable exploit a one-man advantage after O'Halloran was yellow-carded just after the hour mark.
Connacht kept their illustrious opponents at bay well and defended their own try-line resolutely when they had to before again taking advantage of having an extra man when Leo Auva'a was sin-binned in the final ten minutes.
The Dublin outfit's ill-discipline cost them once more as the excellent George Naoupu crossed to give the home side a deserved bonus point.
Replacement Ronan Loughney ran in a fifth try in the closing stages as well as Connacht recorded their second win of the season and condemned Leinster to their second defeat of the campaign.

Geithner: Bank payback $25 billion over next year
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner projects financial institutions will repay $25 billion of their government rescue funds over the coming year.
In prepared testimony for the Senate Banking Committee, Geithner says the money will be used to further assist institutions in need of government help. Some critics want paybacks to return to government coffers.
With that amount, Geithner says, the government should have nearly $124 billion remaining in the $700 financial bailout fund that Congress approved last fall.
Geithner says that money will be used to further capitalize banks and to assist the auto industry. The federal government is now providing financial aid to Chrysler and General Motors.

333: Getting Out of Hand
|Getting Out of Hand
Title text: Wikipedia's role as brain-extension, while a little troubling, is also really cool.
[edit] Explanation
Given how Wikipedia has an ever-expanding variety of topics, the grand majority of them in great detail, there is a possibility (even a temptation) of relying on Wikipedia to learn from every topic that leaves you confused... even foreplay. ('Bedtime' and 'us time' is not necessarily 'computer time'.)
The title text refers to the fact that many rely on Wikipedia instead of remembering/learning stuff. This was later directly addressed as the subject of 903: Extended Mind
[edit] Transcript
- [A couple is in bed in the dark, and Cueball reaches out from under the covers to do a Wikipedia search about Foreplay.]
add a comment! ⋅ add a topic (use sparingly)! ⋅ refresh comments!
The headline "Getting Out of Hand" appears to be a double entendre when the word "hand" is taken literally. Mountain Hikes (talk) 17:18, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

text: Writing about The Cat Piano I had something at the back of my mind that just failed to come out. It was the narrative poems of Dr Seuss and in particular, Gerald McBoing-Boing, the winner of the 1950 Academy Award for Best Animated Short. A remarkably good film, it is the story of young Gerald McCloy who only speaks in sound effects. Baffling doctors, school and parents alike the young lad seems well adjusted, peculiarity not withstanding, until renamed by teasing children as Gerald McBoing-Boing. In desperation he decides to leave home but there is always a place for someone of such talents. For the age, the pared down backgrounds and caricature rather than fulsome characters (so called "limited animation" - there is an excellent Wikipedia article on the subject) were novel though judging it today the design is most eye-catching. Personally I find some of the rapid fire rhyming narration a tad cloying and the humour is of the persistent kind rather than the whole-hearted laugh. However, watching the boy read his radio script, a stream of sound effects emanating from his lips, discarded sheets mounting beneath the microphone, is to marvel at director Robert Cannon's skill in leaving well alone, allowing the situation to develop. Marvin Miller narrates with a briskness and assured delivery that is the so typical of the time, a feeling intensified by Gail Kubik's often urgent soundtrack. (He also composed a longer, concert version of the piece to accompany Dr Seuss' narrated text.) United Productions of America (UPA) made three other shorts in the series and there was a television series. I note that John Hubley was producer and supervising director.

J.E. Robinson Underground Railroad Tours
In the early 1800s, Alton became a safe haven for slaves escaping from the bonds of slavery. Because of the area's neighboring slave state of Missouri, runaways found refuge in the free land surrounding Alton. The tunnels of the Underground Railroad run deep beneath the streets along the "Alton Route." The area was a major stop along the Underground Railroad, hiding slaves in caves, barns and basements throughout Alton, Otterville and Jerseyville. Hear the slave's tales, feel their fear and learn about Alton's remarkable past on an Underground Railroad Tour. Tours available by appointment only.

Thousands of visitors and paranormal investigators have visited the grounds of the notorious McPike Mansion claiming spirits still roam this property. Some claim the haunts date back to the property before the mansion was even built, with native American ghosts and a residue from a possible Underground Railroad stop. Other mysterious stories include servants of the building, a cook in the kitchen and a strange death of a woman in the bathtub. Some even believe that Eleanor and Henry McPike still roam the corridors of their former home. All total, more than 11 different spirits have been experienced in recent years.
Fulkerson Mansion and Farm Museum
Colonel William H. Fulkerson's mansion and farm museum contains many rare agricultural items and equipment with emphasis on large, rare farm steam traction engines, utilized for plowing the prairie, threshing the grain, and for powering early sawmills. The estate is 14-room Southern-style Victorian mansion that has remained virtually unchanged to this day. It was placed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places in 1998.
In 1918, Alton became the famous birthplace of Robert Wadlow, "The Gentle Giant." Born a normal eight pounds in 1918, Wadlow suffered from a pituitary gland problem. He was almost nine feet tall and 500 pounds when he died of complications from a foot infection at age 22. He is noted in the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest man alive. A life-sized statue on College Avenue lifts visitors' heads in amazement. The Alton Museum of History and Art have devoted an entire room to Wadlow, including his third-grade desk and oversized grade school ring.
The final debate of Stephan A. Douglas and Abraham Lincoln took place in front of Alton's city hall at the corner of Broadway and Market Streets.

Benjamin Godfrey Memorial Chapel
Originally called Monticello, the village of Godfrey was named for a Massachusetts sea captain, Benjamin Godfrey who founded the Monticello Seminary in 1838. One of the more rapidly growing Illinois community colleges, Lewis & Clark Community College, now calls the Monticello campus home. Located on the campus, the Benjamin Godfrey Chapel, built in 1854, has become a landmark in the community. This church has been designated as one of only six churches outside of the northeastern United States that are authentic copies of New England church architecture and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Confederate Cemetery and Memorial
This monument remembers those who died in the infamous Alton prison. A smallpox virus spread rapidly through the Alton Prison in 1863, killing more than 1,435 incarcerated soldiers. The soldiers are laid to rest here and each of their names is commemorated at the Memorial. The Alton Prison and Confederate Cemetery are some of the rare northernmost monuments to the Confederate Soldier.
This monument memorializes Elijah P. Lovejoy, whose work and death in Alton gave him a place in history for the abolition of slavery. During the slavery era, Elijah Lovejoy was a pastor who wrote anti-slavery editorials so controversial he became an object of hatred by slaveholders. Despite threats to his life, he continued his anti-slavery writings in the Alton Observer, even after three of his printing presses were thrown into the Mississippi River. It was this persistence that led an angry pro-slavery mob to attack and kill him in 1837.
This Queen Anne-style playhouse was built for Lucy J. Haskell, daughter of Dr. William A. & Florence H. Haskell. The playhouse was an exact replica of the family home. The Haskell's gave the estate to the City of Alton for educational & recreational purposes. The playhouse is currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places and can be visited in Haskell Park.

This is one epic effing chapter specially the ending but No spoilers in this op go read it!
This is one epic effing chapter specially the ending but No spoilers in this op go read it!
Holy fuuuuuuckkk!!!!!!!
Edit: So that was my first reaction Basically, the whole chapter was so epic! Oh man! This was easily one of the best chapters of the entire series! So many character interactions! I actually didn't expect Sasuke to appear this soon
And Minato has the chakra cloak? I mean, sure, he's got half of the yin chakra of the kyubi. But how has he tamed it? I mean, Naruto went through all that training to be able to use it. And Minato just use it like that. Also, Minato looks exactly like Naruto in that mode. I couldn't really tell them apart! Hoow, wow, I'm speachless... This is gonna be so epic!
Great chapter
Spoiler!was hoping for more wow value from Naruto's parentage being revealed, guess the cat was already out of the bag? Loved Madara's reaction to Hashirama putting him on the back burner
is everyone freaking out?
I read spoilers came read chapter and came again
EPIC 10/10 chapter!
Disagree? Go kill yourself this sht was bomb !
- Sakura use her real power well its about time what took you so long lol.
- Team 7 reunited I have been waiting for this.
Yeah, this was such an epic chapter. I'm really speachless right now. I didn't expect Minato to use biju mode, but it kinda makes sense for him to be able to. Only, he didn't need to tame it. Which is pretty lame in itself. That is a bit dissapointing.
Also, Sasuke as hokage? Beh, that's also a bit of a let down. It does make sense I guess.. Hashirama wanted Madara to be hokage, and now perhaps Sasuke will become hokage, together with Naruto perhaps. But it's still kinda lame. I hope Naruto and Sasuke's final battle won't be for the title of hokage.
Minato has one of the coolest ways to introduce himself : "I'm Minato Namikaze, prepare for the blast"
Me gusta
And about Naruto, he's obviosuly making his dumb ass jokes to frustrate sakura and jokingly brag about a success with his first crush that he didn't ever had.

Virgin Blue statement regarding Queensland Anti-Discrimination Tribunal Judgement10/10/2005
Virgin Blue said today it was extremely surprised at the judgement brought down by the Queensland Anti-Discrimination Tribunal ("Hopper & Others -v- Virgin Blue Airlines Pty Ltd") and the airline is now examining the judgement in detail considering that:
The Tribunal found that there was no intentional choice made by Virgin Blue to discriminate.
The selection criteria used in Virgin Blue recruitment processes was intended to, and did in fact, produce an 'age neutral' result.
The judgement stated that the airline's recruitment policies and processes do not discriminate, yet it concludes at the same time that the airline's recruitment personnel applying the otherwise age-neutral system, were "unconsciously discriminating on the basis of age"*.
"We respect the legal process, but that process is by no means complete, "said Heather Jeffery, General Manager Public Affairs.
"We stand behind the integrity of Virgin Blue's recruitment practices and the members of our recruitment team who undertake them; and we are now considering the judgement in detail before deciding our best course of action," she said.

Tyler Biggs, Garret Sparks named to preliminary USA junior roster
Cam Charron
December 04 2012 10:42AM
As speculated yesterday and widely assumed, two Toronto Maple Leafs prospects were named to the American World Junior preliminary squad, both off their OHL teams. That's Tyler Biggs of the Oshawa Generals, selected in the first round of the 2011 draft, and Garret Sparks, goaltender for the Guelph Storm, selected in the 7th round that same year.
America's camp runs from December 16 to December 23, with much less pomp the Canadian trials will offer, and also fewer players. Only four skaters will be cut from the preliminary roster, and with the team likely to take three goalies to Russia, I think it's safe to say both Biggs and Sparks will make the trip. Whether Sparks sees any action is dependent on the health of John Gibson.
Biggs has been getting some rave reviews for his play lately. After starting out the year with limited point totals, Biggs has come along with a healthy scoring rate of about a goal every second game, but is getting involved in the offence, recording more assists, and taking fewer penalties. He's not at the level some OHL players are in his age group and hasn't cracked the top page of the scoring leaderboard, but it'd do Leafs fans some good to get a chance to see him play in high-def.
Sparks, meanwhile, has the 6th best save percentage among 21 qualified OHL goalies, also after a slow start playing behind some painfully bad defence. He's had a .940 save percentage in the last two months (after starting out below .900) and I guess is coming around to facing over 34 shots a night.
Here's the Americans' tournament schedule. All times are Eastern (on a 24-hour clock) and are all shown on TSN including the pre-tournament games. TSN is showing all the medal round games as well:
|Dec 20
|vs. Sweden*
|Dec 21
|vs. Finland*
|Dec 27
|vs. Germany
|Dec 28
|vs. Russia
|Dec 30
|vs. Canada
|Dec 31

Mad dash for Angels tickets on Saturday
It was certainly a case of survival of the fittest as the most youthful and the athletic in the early-arriving crowd of about 150 streamed toward Home Plate Gate, dodging cars and making the mad dash on foot to get the first wristbands and the most favorable spots at the front of the line on Saturday when single-game tickets when on sale at Angel Stadium.
Click here for a slide show from the first day of single-ticket sales.
The sale began at 9 a.m. but people were allowed on the stadium grounds at 7 a.m. That led men, women and children were running as fast as they could on the 300-yard stretch from parking lot entrance to the plaza with the giant red hats. Many chose to buy tickets at the ballpark to avoid paying online and phone convenience surcharges.
Some ticket-seekers jumped from the passenger seats in cars and sprinted toward the plaza where several Angels security personnel and ushers handed out numbered wristbands to the fans (but not necessarily in sequential order). Some pushed to get around slower-moving runners. Some threw down the bikes they had pedaled to the ballpark and ran instead.
[caption id="attachment_117333" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Liam, Debby and Trey Taylor of Newport Beach show off their wristbands"][/caption]
People remarked that it looked the like mobs that used to fight for the best seats on Southwest Airlines flights.
Ryan Wilk, 23, of Fullerton, a chiropractic student wearing jogging pants and running shoes, led the pack on foot but was overtaken in the end by Ed Rose, 52, of Riverside, who pedaled furiously on his mountain bike.
"I was going as fast as I could," said Rose, who was breathless when he got his neon green wristband with the lowest number. "I got my exercise for a while."
He also got a pair of tickets to the 16 games he desired.
"But I noticed they (the Angels) doubled the prices on the seats I wanted in left field on Saturdays, so I moved to right field to save some money," Rose said. "I guess they're figuring out how to pay the new guys (slugger Albert Pujols to a 10-year, $246 million deal and left-hander C.J. Wilson to a five-year, $77.5 million contract)."
By 9:45 a.m., Angels marketing manager Ryan Vance reported that 14,000 tickets had been sold online and 1,000 sold at the ballpark in the first 45 minutes. Also, the opening day contest on April 6 against Kansas City was sold out at 9:29 a.m., when Debby Taylor and her son, Liam, of Newport Beach bought the last two tickets to the game – Section 506 with an obstructive view – for $35 apiece.
"We got them but I'm not sure how much we'll see," said Debby Taylor, whose family, including husband, Trey, arrived shortly after 7 a.m. and got wristbands that made them among the first 300 in line. "We're in the building."
Overall, the first day of Angels' single-game ticket sales went smoothly. There were some minor complaints about wristband distribution and line enforcement at the stadium, where about 1,300 people come by 10 a.m.
There were also many reports from Angels fans about being unable to purchase Angels tickets online through Ticketmaster for any game other than the Sept. 22 contest against the Chicago White Sox. People having trouble online came to the ballpark around 10 a.m. to get in line.
Brisk sales for single-game tickets – a little more than 30,000 tickets were sold Saturday – matched the demand the Angels have seen for season tickets since December's signing of three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols.
"You can feel the electricity in the air for this Angels season," said Otie Davila, 52, of Corona, an Angels fan since 1966 when the team came to Anaheim. "We can't wait – except in line, that is."

Skip to comments.Can Firefox Be Saved? Two Proposals
Posted on 04/05/2011 5:06:36 AM PDT by ShadowAce
After spending months on end watching Mozilla Firefox 4 go through eleven-and-some-odd betas, Im less than impressed with what Ive waited for all this time. The first time I launched a fresh install of Firefox 4 and navigated to the homepage of the New York Times, it hung for almost a minute on end and then every ad block on the page burped with a Flash plugin has crashed message.
This is progress?
I know Im not alone in this, either many folks I know who had been suffering through successive Firefox betas were disillusioned with the quality of the release product. Theyre either rolling back to Firefox 3.6 or ditching it entirely.
Me, Id ditched Firefox for Chrome back around revision 3.4 or so. Maybe earlier.
Like too many other software projects before it, Firefox is starting to suffer from the very things it was originally developed to avoid. Its falling victim to the exact stagnation that plagued Netscape before it. The competition not just Chrome, but even lowly old Internet Explorer, now in its ninth version is outpacing it in greater strides.
In short, theres now less reason than ever to be a Firefox user.
Thats a shame, because Firefox isnt a bad piece of software. Its just increasingly suffering from third-wheel syndrome, which it hasnt found an effective way to lick yet.
Google Chrome, by contrast, has come from behind to eclipse Firefox in a whole slew of ways. On the same hardware, it launches and browsers more quickly and with less inexplicable lag than Firefox. Flash doesnt hiccup or stall, and hasnt bombed on me at all for a few versions running now.
Google Chromes add-on architecture is a lot easier to work with and requires a prospective software author to jump through far less hoops. Its page debugging and inspection tools are remarkable; I rely on them constantly. And while running each tab in its own process is more memory-hungry than Firefox, at least I know that memorys being put to good use: if one tab stalls, the rest dont.
But wait: Im not just here to bury Firefox and praise Chrome. If anything, Id like to see Firefox rise all the more to the challenge and give Chrome a run for its money. I just dont see that happening with Firefoxs current development cycle.
Mozilla is talking about ramping up their releases to match Chromes, but Im not sure thats enough. What might be needed are solutions that are either far more precise than what Mozilla is dreaming up, or way more radical than they will aim for.
When Firefox came along, it was a welcome relief from the tired and stagnant Netscape. Here was a browser that threw out everything that didnt need to be there, gave the user a snappy browsing experience, and offered a far more appealing alternative to Internet Explorer.
The whole reason all this was possible was because Firefox was a radical break from the past an experimental branch of Mozilla that overtook the parent. Firefox left behind more baggage than it kept, and the end result was a massive success story.
Maybe its time to do that again. Lets have a spinoff of Firefox that is to that browser what Firefox itself was to Netscape. Not just another iteration in Firefoxs development, but a clean slate a way to get back to the basics that the original iterations of Firefox prided itself on and were valued for in the first place.
This is something that might only be possible by a third party, though. Only a third party might have the distance required to take Firefox, strip out everything that no longer needs to be there, and start over again with as little of Mozillas existing baggage as possible. The hard part isnt getting the code (Firefox is open source, after all). The hard part would be assembling a development team willing to commit to a project of that scope.
Much as I like to believe in the romance of open source, a project like this isnt something you can do on nights and weekends not in a competitive fashion, that is. That might well prove to be a bigger obstacle than writing the code: finding and supporting people who can do it and get it out the door in a timely way.
Maybe kicking off a whole new branch of Firefox is too radical a suggestion for most people. Barring that, I took a look at the Firefox roadmap for 2011 to see what Mozilla itself has in mind.
There are a lot of goals here, and its not clear which goals are being targeted for what versions or if theyre all being attacked simultaneously. Whats more, theres a lot of things discussed here that still dont have any major relevance to users. Example: Expand the Open Web Platform to include Apps, Social and Identity. This could easily mean anything. And at any rate, it doesnt add up to much right now given that most people are just surrendering and using Facebook to sign into everything.
(Its a nice goal for Mozilla to promote more open-ended identity frameworks, but to my mind its pointless, given that the very browser being used to do the signing in keeps grinding to a crawl.)
My suggestion is this: Pick one major goal per iteration of Firefox, and commit everyone across the board to making that goal real.
The first goal I recommend is an expanded version of item #2 on the Firefox list: Declare an all-out war on lag.
Find every possible reason why the browser lags, slows down, or stalls entirely and get rid of it. Since the reasons for such a thing may be rampant throughout the product, that means you have all the more reason to make such an effort an all-fronts war and not just an ongoing priority.
Get that investigated, get it done, and release a version of the product where that is the major reason for an upgrade. If the answers lie in a bad user configuration, then at the very least let the user know thats the culprit. Dont give him an excuse to leave.
The same one-major-problem-at-a-time approach should also be applied to problems with Flash, and to the other show-stopping, browser-wide issues that everyone complains about.
These things are scaring people off, and they need to be attacked as fiercely as they can.
Its not hard to read Mozillas stated goal of releasing new iterations of the browser more often, and with more revisions to the left of the decimal point, as a way to play catch-up with Chrome.
The thing is, releases and revisions are entirely arbitrary: it doesnt matter what they call the next iteration of Firefox. What matters more is how each revision represents real advances for the state of the program that end users can bank on.
Without that, no product is worth building on as a base of productivity. A stagnant program is just as unusable as one revised without clear goals.
What I really dont want to see is Firefox become to browsers what Ubuntu has become to Linux distributions. I dont want them shipping a product every six months whether we like it or not, one where there are at least as many regressions as there are advances.
And, most of all, I dont want to turn my back on a browser that did a lot to make the Web what it is now. But softwares about what works, not where your hearts at and right now, for me, Chrome is what works. Firefox remains under wraps.
I loaded up Firefox 4 a couple of days ago. A much superior product. Seems to handle the various flash conflicts better than the 3.xx version.
Definitely faster to load. I'm impressed.
I have yet to investigate it. I keep hearing conflicting reports.
This guy sounds exactly like someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.
LOL! As I mentioned above, I haven't tried it yet. What's he got wrong?
I am not happy at all with 4. The performance is far worse than previous and it is buggy. Caret browsing, for example, keeps toggling keeping me from being able to use pg up and pg down when browsing (among other things). I have caught myself going back to IE.
I'm guessing that being a "Tech Writer" his machine is junked up with early release software he's played with, and that's creating problems.
Considering AdBlock Plus and Flash Block, there's really no reason to use any other browser.
I've heard this, but I've also heard the performance is better.
What platform/configuration are you using?
That's been my experience as well with Firefox since the days of Firebird.
Thanks for your input.
Windows 7, I don't have any special add-ons running in the background other than the usual Flash. Something else I just noticed. It doesn't seem to like Adobe Acrobat Pro. In other browsers, if you click a .pdf link, it will open in Acrobat Pro. With version 4, it doesn't recognize Pro as a replacement for Adobe Reader and just gives an error message.
I loaded it a month ago and have not had even one problem.
I went to 4 last week from 3.6 and have been quite happy with it. The old version had become buggy and was crashing. I haven't had any problems at all with 4. I like Firefox for the addons that keep out the junk. Haven't tried Chrome.
I was very dubious, as I'm running a ten-year old installation of XP with limited hard drive space (there's never enough).
Performance has definitely improved. I'll probably put it on my laptop this week.
Since I don't run Win7, I may go ahead and try it out.
I finally gave up on Adobe; too bloated and too many problems. I'm using PDF-XChange Viewer and am very happy with it.
I have more for you in a moment. But I am on 4 and it is slick IMHO.
I will do anything to stay away from anything Google given their relationship with "The One". No Crome, no-GMail, but I still looking for a better search engine, maybe Screwgle (spelled correct?) just to piss Google off.
Other Add-Ons....
* BetterPrivacy ( a must, "LSO's" are bad)
* Cooliris ( ah so so...)
* FasterFox Lite ( makes it faster)
* Ghostery (a must, stop them tracking for marketing purposes)
* NoScript (again like Ghostery, a must )
* PDF dowload (neat)
* Startup.Service 0.2 ( opens Firefox Faster)
* Vacuum Places ( cleans up sqlite files, increase speed )
* Tweak Network (maybe redundant w/ FasterFox, but try it...)
* Morning Coffee ( for your regular surfs, I have it off @ the moment, it's ok...)
Agree about NoScript and Ghostery as a must. I'll have to try some of the others you mention. Thanks.
Me, too--what you said. FF4 has been fast and stable for me. I haven't even explored a lot of the new features, like bookmark synchronization across the cloud, which is now built in rather than an add on.
* Bookmark Duplicate Detector... Why suck up the disk space it is neat.
All I want is a browser that allows me click one button to immediately stop flash just for that browser window alone, and not affect the rest of my browsing. I'm sure the code to do this exists.
I keep opening things in new windows when I meant to open them in a tab.
I loaded FF4.0 also but had to uninstall and go back to 3.6.X because my Norton 360 Identity Safe and Web Safe would not work with FF4.0. Norton claims they are working on a fix to integrate with new FF but right not I'm stuck with 3.6
Have yet to have a problem with Firefox 4, which I am using now.
That's an acrobat issue. Re-install acrobat and you'll be fine.
Ace, Thanx, I think I saw it eons ago while reseaching the subject. Tried it, like it, it now the homepage. Wow....
That's just a more matter of habit than a design issue.
>I will do anything to stay away from anything Google given their relationship with "The One". No Crome, no-GMail, but I still looking for a better search engine, maybe Screwgle (spelled correct?) just to piss Google off.<
I have the same reasons too. Google's CEO Schmidt works closely with obama, plus I have never heard of an "email" that asks you for your PHONE NUMBER as confirmation to use the e-mail. Craigslist, Paypal, Ebay..sure, they are financial but an FN e-mail?? Yeah, I use Scroogle from time to time and Bing does it better sometimes with searches.
My experience with Firefox 4 has been OK; although I continually get a message to update to 4; and firefox update failed click here to upgrade to 4. Also when I close out my last window for the day; firefox crashes. Also some of my addons before the upgrade to 4; disappeared and will not download.
Check out post 25, I just made it my HP... Slick....
I don't trust Google enough to install their junk on my computers.
I will not under any circumstances embrace Google in any of its manifestations.
I still haven't given up on it but I think right now I'd recommend not changing yet.
I've developed liking the tabs more than opening windows as time went by. Seen people have 15 tabs in 1 window more than a couple of times LOL.
I also enjoy being able to use three add-ons in particular: NoScript prevents unauthorized code from running on any page you visit without your express approval. It will quickly make you aware of how much crap goes on behind the scenes - and how much of that is unneeded/undesired. I also like IE Tab Plus, which allows you to toggle the rendering engine for any page between Firefox and Internet Explorer. Finally, there is Xinha Here! - a nice, neat little WYSIWYG html editor - very useful for formatting complex posts on FR, for example.
My older laptop is a Dell 1000 with 512,000 limited memory. Just loaded NYT using Firefox 4. No problems at all. I have no idea what the author's problem is.
(I've had NO problems with FF4)
No problems with FF4 (on Linux Mint 10) yet. I do wish the very handy zoom function came with a 'reset to normal size' button, though. 'Control zero' does the job, but a button would be better.
I had a lot of trouble with FF3.6 crashing and eventually went back to FF3.1. It turned out the real problem was a bad RAM address that 3.6 accessed but 3.1 didn't, as I discovered when I upgraded my RAM. People having problems with frequent crashes of any FF edition might want to think about new RAM.
"New features" are just gimmicks. The new architecture to isolate the pestilence that is Flash is unsuccessful and unstable particularly on Macs.
Firefox's best days are behind it. Fortunately there are alternatives.
Hard drives are cheap.
If it's so terrible why is beating the pants off of IE. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp I use FF4 and have had no problems with it.
I keep opening things in new windows when I meant to open them in a tab.
You too huh?
It's taken me more than a week to get used to it, and I still hit the wrong one occasionally. Why the heck would someone change something like that?
I'll have over 50 tabs open from time to time. I have some sites that I use at work that are extremely tab-friendly, and let me do a lot of stuff quickly.
I refuse to use Chrome. You might as well use a browser put out by Organizing for America. You can be sure every single thing you do on Chrome is recorded and sent to the NSA and Obama Campaign.
I don't know how it compares to Chrome???, because until now I didn't know there was browser named Chrome.
For how I use it, Firefox is fine, if it doesn't work for any one else, switch to what ever does, after all, it's not cost that will hold you back.

Comments: PROS: Best helmet bag out there. I've had the Vaughn & a few others. The materials used on all of them
are pretty similar. But the double venting system in the Rbk is the best for fastest drying.
Fitment is great for ALL STYLE HELMETS/MASKS. I wear a customized Combo made by a mask maker. Because of their shape, they
don't really fit in most helmet bags short of a custom one. But even w/a Dangler, it fits VERY WELL in the Rbk bag.
Bag also has large back pocket for sweatbands, tools & extra hardware.
CONS: This is a thing w/ALL RBK HOCKEY PRODUCTS, not just this particular product. Rbk uses very thick, but very cheap ZIPPERS.
The zippers on ALL OF MY RBK PRODUCTS rust or copper-ize/oxidizes (the material wherever the zipper rests turns into this
blueish green copper effect). Once this happens, it is a PITA to get the zipper to EVEN MOVE!! My helmet bag, my shower bag, and
another accessory bag ALL HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM!! The actually materials they use are GREAT. But the zipper metal or zipper
trail on ALL RBK products
rusts or gets crusty.
Overall, the helmet bag is my fav. Even w/the zipper problem. Just be forewarned, it may take some real elbow grease to actually
get the bag open sometimes.

Gorgeous with great fit.
"I loved these shoes the moment I got them! They are slightly longer & narrow but NOT a deal breaker.You can dress them up with a nice outfit or down with jeans.The only reason I would not give them a 5 star rating is because after 8-9 hrs, the crocheted finish started rubbing my feet making them slightly painful.Great to wear to work all day."
