In an exciting weekend of pet adoption events nationwide, 50 animal shelters kicked off the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge by finding loving forever homes for more than 2,700 animals. From California to Maine, adopters visited local shelters to show their support for the Challenge and went home with furry best friends of all shapes and sizes.
Here are some of the highlights from this fur-filled weekend:
When Bangor Humane Society had just one puppy left in the building, Ike—previously accompanied by his brother, Spike—the Maine agency promised his adopter a special surprise. "Spike and Ike's adoption fees were paid for by their foster parents, in turn making their adoption fees free to their new families," BHS explained to its Facebook fans. "Because of this, BOTH of Spike and Ike's adoptive families decided to pay it forward, and pay for the adoptions of two other dogs that are still in the building!"
In what turned out to be a very successful partnership, the Flagler Humane Society teamed up with local groomer Animal House Groomers, which helped transform some of the scruffier pets into adorable candidates for adoption during kick-off weekend event. The groomers worked makeover magic on this lucky pup, Scrapie, who later found a loving home.
Beyonce, a pretty pup rescued from an inhumane situation, was one of 122 adoptions at Animal Rescue League Shelter & Wildlife Center over the course of the weekend. "Although her adoption was free today," the Pennsylvania agency told its Facebook fans, "she had a $50 sponsorship, and her adopter left an additional $250!"
Riddler was one of several friendly felines to find forever homes at Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society during kick-off weekend, thanks to his excited new pet parents (also pictured).
Stay tuned to ASPCA.org for all the news about the 2012 Challenge!
As the proud "mom" of two rescued cats (one of whom followed me home from a walk and never left!) and also two rescued dogs (one was living wild w/ nine pups, all of whom had to be live-trapped over 3 wks., - the Humane Society in Toledo (OH) adopted out all the pups and Save-A-Pet, also in Toledo, covered the costs of treating the mother dog for heartworm and spaying her, allowing me to have the most wonderful, sweet, loving dog!), I congratulate ALL the shelters, their hard-working and dedicated staff, and ALL the new parents who took home their forever new loves, to fulfill homes and hearts!!
I encourage anyone who loves animals-or if you've never had one- to adopt from the Humane Society or other organization that adopts healthy pets.All of my dogs have been adopted in this way and every one has been a delight.
The joy I feel in my heart when I read so many touching stories from animal lovers is amazing. I feel blessed to be a member of ASPCA and I will feel even more blessed when God provide me the opportunity so that I can have as much pets as possible in my dream ranch a ranch no for my own but for those beautiful God's creatures that are looking for love and a home.
God bless each one of the animal lovers,
After two of our cats passed away in 2005 and 2006 we were both heart broken. We had Sammy and Petey for 10 & 11yrs. Tiger and Pepper were adopted at 7mths old from the Tampa Humane Society by us in November 2008. What's so special about these two cats they both had the same personalities as our former pets Sammy and Petey. In 2008 at the shelter there was a large room where 50 cats lived like king and queens. Before we entered I saw at the window an orange and white cat named Tiger who was looking at us intensly. When we walked into the room my husband went to the far end of the room in the corner to sit. Tiger ran like the speed of light and jumped on his lap and purred. Immediatley my husband had tears in his eyes and smiling, I was so happy to see him smile it mad me cry too. The orange and white cat looked exactly like our Sammy who was my husbands best friend and followed him every where like a puppy dog. We knew it had to be him so we renamed Tiger to "Little Sammy". It looked like Little Sammy found who he was waiting for and it was my husband. Then I found Pepper who reminded me of Petey. She was born not able to "Meow" only "Squeak"and was a nervous kitten. We both fell for each other in a minute. It was the best decision we made to adopted these two lovable and gentle cats. If you deeply love animals don't wait to adopt. There are so many cats and dogs who need to be loved. We hope to have our two for a long time, they are part of our family. I want to thank our shelter for making our lives enriched again.
I became a foster mom after my 3 babies passed all within one year. 1 dog 17years and 2 cats 13 years old. Well needless to say my 4 fosters I adopted. Now I have 6 cats and 2 dogs. Fostering is also a great way to help. The shelters need bottle feeders and care givers. What a rewarding feeling it was to put that bottle in their little mouths. I thought if I did not do this these babies would not be hear today. Please consider fostering as well as adopting.
I winced when I read that a Shi-Tzu mix had been named Scrapie. I've no idea oabout the origin of his name, but Scrapie is the name of a disease in both sheep and cattle and is actually Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Two cats - both adopted - one stray who adopted me and another I adopted from the county animal shelter. All three of us loving life, and have never looked back!
I am the mother of 5 adopted cats. And boy am l crazy about them as they are about me.l am called the crazy cat lady(because of all the strays I feed)to all you cat lover's out therekeep loving your feline friends. For you will be rewarded in Kitty heaven
Two weeks ago I adopted a 3-year-old Torti. She is super loving and a joy to have around. When I first saw her she was talking like a Siamese--she has never done that again. She had been in an ASPCA shelter for a month and was probably ready to find a home. Her new name is Pretty Peggy. My housekeeper says she ugly; that is the reason for the Pretty--to help her overcome any self-esteem issues.
She does have a chipped canine tooth. Would appreciate any prayers you can say that will allow the tooth to be okay.

HomeSnap, the real estate app that uses MLS and public record data to offer home prices and other info about houses both on and off the market, is today launching on the iPad. While the original application for iPhone took advantage of the phone's sensors and camera to ID nearby homes while you're out and about, the iPad application offers more of a lean-back experience, primarily focused on home shopping from the comfort of your couch.
For those unfamiliar, HomeSnap, an app from online real estate broker, Sawbuck Realty, launched earlier this year, and closed on $3.5 million in additional funding later this summer. (Sawbuck, which offers more than just the app, also had $4 million in funding prior to HomeSnap's debut).

I only tried cannabis once.
It was a normal night at the local park with our crew until a girl from a rough area, near where we live, came down. She recognised a few of us from a festival. She was acting all hard because she had smoked a lot of cannabis that day. She was asking if we knew any dealers and we did know a few but never really spoke to them.

It was a disappointing result settling for a draw against LA Galaxy, but the sell-out crowd and the performances by both teams made it another memorable night at BC Place.
There are lots of reasons to be excited for the remainder of the season, as the 'Caps last 13 MLS games are all against Western Conference foes. There were complaints about the league's conference-based schedule early on, but I have to say that this format makes each and every game very very important, as a win or loss is a six-point swing in the standings. So buckle up, it's going to be a wild ride the rest of the way.
When you look at some of the teams in the west – LA Galaxy, San Jose, Real Salt Lake, Seattle, Portland – you find players like David Beckham, Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan, Chris Wondolowski, Kyle Beckerman, Alvaro Saborio, Fredy Montero and Kris Boyd. With top talent, the quality of each remaining match promises to be exceptional, just as it was last night against the Galaxy.
On top of that, we find a key to any sports culture – tradition.
Big teams with big players bring back happy memories of playing in the North American Soccer League (NASL). Aside from Real Salt Lake, each of those markets were a part of the old NASL, with all but the Galaxy retaining their traditional name and legacy.
Today's LA team have Beckham as their main attraction, but the old LA Aztecs had a certain Dutch player by the name of Johan Cruyff, one of the best soccer players the world had ever seen. Cruyff won the European Footballer of the year three times (1971, '73 and '74). He scored 33 times for Holland in 48 matches and the Dutch never lost a game that he scored in.
San Jose Earthquakes also had world-class talent, with a player by the name of George Best who I grew up watching at Manchester United. Best, from Northern Ireland, was also considered one of the best soccer players in the world. He helped Manchester United become the first English team to become European champions. While at San Jose, he scored one of the best goals in NASL history when he beat six players inside the box before smashing the ball into the net.
Of course, the Seattle and Portland rivalry with Vancouver already had the fans in a fever every time they played. Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that both teams had quality international players on their roster. Portland had defender Willie Donachie (Scotland) and striker Clyde Best (Bermuda) while the Sounders could trot out midfielder Bruce Rioch (Scotland captain) and midfielder Alan Hudson (England).
As we saw last night with the Galaxy stars against our own players such as Barry Robson, Gershon Koffie, Young-Pyo Lee, Jay DeMerit and Darren Mattocks – not to mention the addition of Kenny Miller – there is once again some very talented players plying their trade in North America.
We've had a number of memorable matches already this season, and playing conference rivals with top talent on both teams will only make the rest of the schedule more meaningful and more exciting. We're set to witness mouthwatering games nearly every week, with playoff spots and trophies still very much up for grabs.
Let the rest of the western games begin.
It's been an interesting road trip for Whitecaps FC so far. After starting with a loss to LA Galaxy, the 'Caps responded with a win against Colorado Rapids and a draw versus Chivas USA.
Now head coach Martin Rennie will have to lift the boys from a tough last-second 3-2 defeat to Toronto FC on Wednesday as they get ready to play their fifth road game in a row this Saturday in Chicago. With a positive result against the Fire, the 'Caps can look at this road trip in a positive light. So what really makes road trips so tough?
The Travel
When I first arrived in Vancouver in 1979, my longest road trip was from Oldham to London – which was a four hour bus ride. But in North America I had to endure four or five hour plane rides and different time zones, as well as the heat, altitude, and humidity.
My first couple of years traveling in the North American Soccer League (NASL) was an adventure as I went to many cities for the first time. One of the perks of being a professional athlete is getting to see a lot of great places, and everything is paid for. But not everything with travel is as glamorous as it might seem. There are long waits at the airport, many of which come on connecting flights. Flying to the east coast and changing time by three hours is especially difficult. You have to change your sleeping and eating habits with no real time for proper adjustment.
For anyone who's travelled in a large group, you know how long it can take to get everyone organized. After the flying is done, you have to get everyone to the hotel by bus or vans, and then there's the matter of sorting out rooms once you arrive at the hotel.
The Roommate
One of the biggest challenges of being on the road is finding the right roommate, not just because you have to like each other, but you need to be close to having the same routine before games. I always like to sleep in the afternoon before a night game, so my roommate needed to sleep as well. One of the best roommates I ever had was Fran O'Brien, even though he used to squeeze my toothpaste into his empty toothpaste on road trips. He was Irish.
Probably the hardest roommate I had was goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar, who I lived with in Vancouver and shared a room with on the road. He was very hyper active and hardly slept at all. I had to get used to the TV being on until three or four in the morning, and constant chatter when we were awake in the room.
The Game
When the game finally arrives you have to adjust to different challenges. You have to get used to the field quickly: the size, playing surface, crowd noise, weather, altitude, and so on.
The home crowd always gives the home team an extra boost, as we've seen numerous times at BC Place, and even in the last match for Toronto.
As for the weather, I remember a game we played in Chicago and at halftime we found big striker Ray Hankin lying naked on the cold tile floor trying to cool down from the extreme heat out on the field.
I can imagine that few people would feel any empathy, but when you have to go out and compete at a professional level you have to battle a lot of things to feel fit and fresh enough to be competitive on the road.
In regards to making travel easier, the 'Caps are lucky to have exceptionally organized and diligent team administrator Steve Bridge on their side.
In the end, you have to have the mental capacity to overcome all these things. At home the goal is to make your home field a fortress and dominate the opposition so they fear coming to your home turf. On the road it's much different, you must become a team that is tough to beat and that can frustrate the other team so their fans get on their backs.
There are many obstacles to overcome and lots of reasons not to win when you are away from home. But good teams find a way, and that's what the 'Caps will have to do in Chicago as they complete these five consecutive demanding games on the road.
Since 1979, Carl Valentine has been an integral part of the soccer community in Vancouver. A club legend, Carl was a key player for the Whitecaps FC team that won the 1979 North American Soccer League (NASL) Soccer Bowl, as well as the 86ers squads that won four Canadian Soccer League (CSL) titles. Now, Carl represents the 'Caps as club ambassador. Make sure to check back regularly for his columns and videos as part of 'The TWO ONE'.
This week, Vancouver Whitecaps FC agreed to have youngster Caleb Clarke go on a two-week trial with FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt in Germany's third-tier '3.Liga'.
If this trial is successful, Clarke - who turned 19 on Saturday - will likely be loaned to FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt for one year. This is a good move for Caleb and the 'Caps, and is one of the many pathways for young players to make the grade at the highest level.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency has grown from 20 to over 80 players in the past year. Even now our U-16 and U-18 Residency teams are playing in Texas in the United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) playoffs after both teams finished first in their respective age groups. On Thursday, the U-18 team won their group and advanced among the final eight teams in the entire USSDA, while the U-16 team went undefeated but fell just short of advancing on goal differential.
The Residency program has received a lot of praise throughout North America for the job we are doing in developing young players. With Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie wanting a winning mentality throughout the club, it bodes well that both teams have had winning USSDA seasons, as they try to develop their game to make the jump to the next level.
The challenge Whitecaps FC currently have is when these players get to Caleb Clarke's age. They are still young and in need of much playing time. So what are the options for the club and these players?
We have seen Russell Teibert sign an MLS contract last year and then start the memorable season-opener versus Toronto FC. Russell played a strong game and would probably have got a lot more minutes, if not for some niggling injuries. He has not hit the same heights so far this season, but he is knocking on the door and has to be ready to take his chance, when it comes.
Bryce Alderson is another Residency product that signed an MLS contract and is an exciting prospect. At 18 years of age, Bryce has huge potential.
Both Russell and Bryce are gaining valuable experience training with the first team and playing reserve team games, but like any young players in a club, Whitecaps FC would like to be in a position to offer them more games.
This is why we are seeing Caleb going on trial, in the hopes of securing a loan deal that will afford him valuable time on the pitch playing high-quality games. With this experience, he will come back to the 'Caps a more complete player.
Another option for Whitecaps FC is to look to the lower divisions in North America and loan out young players, so they can develop their game, plus try and help a second or third-tier club be successful. Below MLS, there is the second-tier North American Soccer League (NASL) and the third-tier United Soccer Leagues Professional Division (USL PRO).
A third development pathway is through the university or college route. We have seen first-hand what players out of college can do, having selected striker Darren Mattocks out of Akron University in this year's MLS SuperDraft.
If our Residency players are not ready to make the jump to MLS at 17 or 18 years of age, all is not lost. Young players can go to college to get an education and develop their game at a very competitive level.
If they develop their game enough, Whitecaps FC would have the option of bringing them back to the club, as they would be Homegrown players.
So whichever decision is made, there are many ways to make the grade.
This year marks the fifth edition of the Amway Canadian Championship, as the professional club teams of our country battle for the Voyageurs Cup and a spot in the CONCACAF Champions League. It is a championship that has so far eluded Vancouver Whitecaps FC, and it has been taken away in some unpleasant and extraordinary circumstances.
Normally we'd look at the history of events in chronological order, but this tournament has developed a strange phenomenon, with rather incredible events occurring every second year.
No castle was ever built over night, nor did any become famous for simply being built. Fortresses earn their acclaim because of the battles that they have withstood, with it's occupants protecting their hallowed grounds time after time, always standing tall in the end.
With the 'Caps playing Philadelphia Union at PPL Park on Saturday (1 p.m. PT live on Sportsnet Pacific and TEAM 1410 radio), Jordan Harvey, Brad Knighton and Sebastien Le Toux will be returning to the 'City of Brotherly Love' to face their former team for the first time. Carl checked in with the trio to talk all things Philly, from playing with the Union, to cheese steaks, to booing Santa Claus.
After a weekend of travel - and the team's first road win - the 'Caps worked out at Steve Nash Fitness World. Carl Valentine was on hand to find out who the fittest guys are on the team.
CASA GRANDE, ARIZONA – Last night, I had the pleasure of picking up our latest signing, French striker Sebastien Le Toux, at the Sky Harbor Airport with my main man, videographer Zac Ratcliffe.

Dale will host Queen's in the Schoolboy Derby feature match of the weekend.
Both schools have a strong chance of victory in this Eastern Cape Reunion derby on Saturday.
Dale have been the most impressive team from the region, enjoying an unbeaten streak with nine wins and two draws from their 11 fixtures. Their two stalemates have come against Glenwood (24-24) and Paul Roos (27-27), with the latter having to score a last-minute try to avoid defeat.
Queen's suffered three defeats at the Kearsney Easter Festival earlier this year, but have built good momentum since then and now have an impressive record. They have won seven of their ten fixtures, including a big 22-19 win over Grey PE two weeks ago.
But it is believed that this will count for nothing as Eastern Cape derbies are usually close contests. This was proven in Dale's 10-9 edging of Selborne last weekend. Despite Selborne's poor form this year (they had lost six times before the match), Dale still had to dig deep for the win.
Dale 1st XV head coach Grant Griffiths believes it will be another tight affair against Queen's.
'All records and previous form definitely goes out the window when it comes to these kind of clashes,' Griffiths told Schoolboy Derby. 'Selborne played very well, and it will be another big challenge against Queen's.
'This is our Reunion match, so the atmosphere will be big! All the old boys, pupils, their families and spectators always make it a major occasion.'
Griffiths credits his team's 2012 success because of their big pack of forwards, which will be key in their challenge against Queen's.
'In the past, we've always had a good backline. But this year, we have a couple of big boys up front and that has given us some bite,' he said. 'I managed to see Queen's in action this year and they have a well balanced team. Their halfback pair is very influential in their game plan. They were unlucky to lose some of their contests, but have come back strongly.
'The key battle will be between the forwards. We need to create a good platform for our backs.'

The UK computer industry enjoyed a mini-rennaisance in 2012 thanks to the popularity of the $40 Raspberry Pi.
More than 700,000 of the boards are estimated to have sold since their launch in February this year.
Launched to inspire a new generation of children to start programming, the Pi has also won over legions of adult hackers to start Pi-powered projects ranging from home automation to robotics.
This is where life begins for many Raspberry Pi boards, at a Sony factory in Pencoed in South Wales.
The factory has been making the boards since August this year and now produces up to 3,000 Raspberry Pi boards every day. From January next year the factory will step up to 4,000 boards each day.
A total of seventeen staff work on the factory floor manufacturing and assembling the boards, with one board produced every seven and a half seconds.
Photo: Nick Heath / TechRepublic
Full Bio
Nick Heath is chief reporter for TechRepublic UK. He writes about the technology that IT-decision makers need to know about, and the latest happenings in the European tech scene.
I'll take one please! I usually like my pi a la mode-but let's skip the ice cream this time. It will ruin the circuits! LOL I'm an adult who wants to know more about computers-not just how to use Microsoft Office or how to clean viruses off my hard drive. In fact I'd like several of them. I live in the United States. How do I get one here? sparkie
It would be really cool if all their industrial controls were ran by their little product. :)
"Of the 150,000 boards the factory has made only six have been returned and only two of those related to a genuine defect." - remarkable considering the staged process.
Lots of automation. 17 people make 3,000 boards a day. Impressive. And I bet there is no issue with the staff talking while they work (see below). Compare to iPhone and iPad manufacture... "You might be surprised to learn that the iPad and iPhone are mostly assembled by hand, not by a robotic arm and sophisticated assembly system. It takes your iPhone 141 steps to get from start to finish. The iPad takes 5 days to be assembled by 325 hands." The above from a Nightline special when they toured a FoxConn plant Each step is some very simple task that a worker does thousands of times per shift AND no talking is permitted. 12 hour shifts with two one hour meal breaks.
http://www.raspberrypi .org/faqs [i]remember to remove the space from between [b]raspberrypi[/b] and the [b].org[/b] for a working link.[/I] Col
The Plant making the PI looks far more like a Prototyping Facility than a Large Scale Production Shop. Foxconn themselves use Robotics to populate the Circuit Boards as it's not possible to do it any other way and from that point on their systems fall down to unproductive assemble methods. However the PI has the same issues with the Hand Placed Components where there is a massive slow down in the production process. ;) Col
;) But I'll let you decide what ";)" means - but there is a meaning, if not two, and likely more profound than what you're willing to admit to contemplating. Excessive gobs of (low quality) thermal grease applied to a CPU has a counteractive effect... so it takes a little time and care to do that... Still, let's have our myopic little economy automate and devalue everything, followed by it damning all the "lazy" people, while the companies keep getting taxpayer-funded handouts at "lazy" peoples' expense... yeah, that's the ticket!
If you had viewed the other photos and read their captions you would have seen this: "After the solder paste has been added, electronic components are placed on the board using surface mount technology machines. These machines can mount close to 25,000 components every hour, placing individual components in a blur of motion. Each Pi has 173 surface mounted components, and it typically takes 150 seconds to finish mounting the six boards in a panel. The factory uses three such machines to produce the Pi, one for mounting the underside of boards and two for the top." That sure looks like automation to me... But what do I know... I used to run the systems that operate Netflix's automated dvd handling machines... 3000-4000 units / day isn't the same as the 7MM DVD's per day we were handling when I was there but all that automation was supported by about 1500 people!
Was Photo & Caption 8 I think at least that is the only thing that has any reference to hand placed components. Where it clearly says [i]Large components, such as USB ports, are manually inserted into the boards. There are five such "through hole" components in the Raspberry Pi.[/i] So exactly where did I suggest that this was not Automated? And Surface Mount Technology has to be Automated as it's not possible to manually place Surface Mount Components onto the Circuit Board accurately enough to have working boards. Not really sure what you are smoking but can I have some? And it still looks like a Prototyping setup to me not a large scale production facility. Though what would I know. :p Col :D

In 1824, young Charles was withdrawn from school and forced to work at a boot-blacking factory when his improvident father, accompanied by his mother and siblings, was sentenced to three months in a debtor's prison. Once they were released, Charles attended a private school for three years. The young man then became a solicitor's clerk, mastered shorthand, and before long was employed as a Parliamentary reporter. When he was in his early twenties, Dickens began to publish stories and sketches of London life in a variety of periodicals.
It was the publication of Pickwick Papers (1836-1837) that catapulted the twenty-five-year-old author to national renown. Dickens wrote with unequaled speed and often worked on several novels at a time, publishing them first in monthly installments and then as books. His early novels Oliver Twist (1837-1838), Nicholas Nickleby (1838-1839), The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-1841), and A Christmas Carol (1843) solidified his enormous, ongoing popularity. As Dickens matured, his social criticism became increasingly biting, his humor dark, and his view of poverty darker still. David Copperfield (1849-1850), Bleak House (1852-1853), Hard Times (1854), A Tale of Two Cities (1859), Great Expectations (1860-1861), and Our Mutual Friend (1864-1865) are the great works of his masterful and prolific period.
In 1858 Dickens's twenty-three-year marriage to Catherine Hogarth dissolved when he fell in love with Ellen Ternan, a young actress. The last years of his life were filled with intense activity: writing, managing amateur theatricals, and undertaking several reading tours that reinforced the public's favorable view of his work but took an enormous toll on his health. Working feverishly to the last, Dickens collapsed and died on June 8, 1870, leaving The Mystery of Edwin Drood uncompleted.

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Paperback)
When Dorothy triumphed over the Wicked Witch of the West in L. Frank Baum's classic tale, we heard only her side of the story. But what about her arch-nemesis, the mysterious Witch? Where did she come from? How did she become so wicked?
Gregory Maguire has created a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again.
About the Author
Gregory Maguire is the author of several best-selling adult novels, including Wicked, which was turned into a Broadway musical. His books for younger readers include the picture book Crabby Cratchitt, the novel The Good Liar, and the popular Hamlet Chronicles series. While writing Leaping Beauty, Mr. Maguire sadly became allergic to all creatures great and small. Now he lives in a house without pets, though he is the father of three happy, noisy small children to whom, at this writing, he has not yet developed allergies.

iPad 4 A6 is NOT AS GOOD as iPhone 5 A6
I purchased the ipad 4 after returning my mini (which I'm still dreading)...
Anyway, I'm going over a performance review and I've noticed something I'm not happy about; something that I thought would be exactly the same on the ipad 4 but even faster since it does clock faster than my iphone 5.
Try this:
Use your iphone 5 and load up anythign you want. I have the following loaded, Camera+, settings, infinity blade 2, real racing 2, angry birds, safari, mail, contacts, facetime, and the regular camera app.
Now you don't have to have the same list of apps, just open up a bunch and try the following:
task switch between any app. On the iphone5 , it's near instantaneous (right after you switch to the app, you can navigate around, use gestures, move the screen, tap, play the game, etc). For infinity blade 2, it's basically never more than 1.5 seconds at most for any "lag". For camera+ and stock camera app, it's instantaneous when switched to. Almost any game app, it is very fast and any other app, it's near instantaneous.
Now try it on your ipad 4. There is around 4-6 seconds of lag between switching! Sometimes even switching to the settings, there is a noticeable 2 second delay. I did not expect this because I what I was so ecstatic about on my iphone 5 was the near instant user experience such as switching apps. On the ipad 4, it's nearly identical to the ipad 3, the ipad 2/mini!
Although after some thorough testing, the ipad 4 for web surfing is indeed noticeably faster, it's not as noticeable as my iphone 5. I don't know, I think I'm going to return this ipad 4 and go back to my mini. I did not expect an ipad 3S-like ipad 4 to perform nearly the same as an ipad 3/ipad 2/mini. My iphone 5 uses an A6 with the same amount of ram and the clock on the processor is slower than the ipad 4 but yet it outperforms the ipad 4. Perhaps the retina display is indeed a real burden?
Anyone with an ipad 4 / iphone 5 concur? Or maybe I'm just not realistic?
|Nov 22, 2012, 04:07 PM
Another finding is that if using a 3rd party browser on the iphone 5, even in sunspider, I'm getting results like under 2100ms from mercury browser. The same browser running on the ipad 4, i get a whopping 3640ms!!
The web surfing (SPEED) experience on the iphone 5 is very very good. The screen is very small to do any real good but it's still very good. On the ipad, the 3rd party browser (mercury browser) is just slow as molasses. There is just something wrong with iOS 6 on the ipad 4's A6X. There is no way it is underperforming this much!
|Nov 22, 2012, 04:12 PM
What screen size is the iPad? And what screen size is the iPhone 5? I think you will find your answer there when you answer these questions...
Apple iPad 3rd Generation White - 32GB
Apple iPod Nano 6th Generation - 8GB

The A6 on the iPad has much more real estate to cover than the iPhone...retina at that.
13"MBP, iPhone 4, iPad 3, iPad mini
|Nov 22, 2012, 04:18 PM
but the x part of the A6x is supposed to compensate no?

Logic Pro and Mainstage 3 User. I use iOS a lot.
|Nov 22, 2012, 04:22 PM
I am not sure that this have anything to do with the processor. It's mainly memory bandwidth to me. Taking longer time to load retina 10" gui pictures in memory than 4" ones.
|Nov 22, 2012, 04:24 PM
Man, this entire ipad 4 is really a let down so far.

|Nov 22, 2012, 04:53 PM
On the iPad, are you switching via the recent apps bar or via multitouch swipe? I've found there's a 1-2 second delay on the latter (the initial image is a screenshot of the app), but an imperceptible one of the former. On the iPhone, obviously you'd have no choice in the matter, so maybe that partly explains the speed difference you're seeing.
|Nov 22, 2012, 04:56 PM
I'm griping about all of this because I constantly switch between safari to enter in personal information from 1password and also from my verizon app, and other apps that require information lookup. I hated that task switching feel from my ipad 2/3 so when I got my i5, I was extremely pleased to see how fast this was! But the screen on my i5 is too small to be productive. On the ipad4, I was really hoping it would be better than my iphone 5 but it's actually just as lame as my ipad 2/3!
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:00 PM
I think the difference also boils down to real world usage vs. benchmarks.
Benchmarks, iPhone 5 and iPad 4 should blow away any A5 counterparts (and A5x, of course).
But in youtube videos side by side, most things only load a fraction quicker in real world use. Then for intensive games, you see a couple seconds lead time or so.
I expect over time the differences will be more noticeable. But yeah, this is why in my opinion most people who have a 3 and like it will not be feeling too left out by not getting a 4 (myself included). Plus my relative "perfect" screen and jailbreak aren't going to be thrown back into the wild any time soon unless I decide I'm completely sold on the mini and can do without the full size. But it's nice to have both as of today.
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:03 PM
Can you try an iPad4 on display somewhere? And are your experiences the same as others?
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:06 PM
Switching via swipe has always been laggy.
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:12 PM
I think the retina is a double edge sword. It's too fantastic of a screen to be ignored, but also the requirements to drive the thing is just insane to the point of diminishing returns. This is really making it easy for me to return my ipad 4 and rebuy the ipad mini.
I do love the retina but I'm not going to settle for something this large but can't be as smooth and fast at task switching between apps as my iphone 5! It really does perform the same exact way as my ipad 2, ipad 3, and the mini! So if I am really needed to task switch quickly and the ipad 4 doesn't offer me that, I think I can feel quite confident enough to warrant a re-purchase of the mini again.
And then wait for the real ipad successor, the ipad 5.
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:15 PM
I'm not sure the same tests have been done in this other thread but just reading a few seem not to have any concern with the speed of the 4.
And I quote #161:
My wife and I just got the new Ipad with the A6X...WOW...It is FAST, practically seamless in operation...Apps load instantly and gameplay is smooth...Boots up and shuts down fast....I thought our iphone 5 was fast, and it is, but this is even on another level.
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:18 PM
umm, interesting, but also remember that iPad apps are different and bigger in size than the iPhone counterparts, even if it's an Universal app, the scale and how much screen needs to show make a difference. Coding can also be the culprit.

Wow OP, talk about finding problems.
With that negative attitude you will never be happy
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:22 PM
I have my iphone 5 since day 1 of release and that phone is so good, I'm completely content with the performance! But the screen is too small to be really productive for my own needs - i turned to the ipad 4 for hope but it's not quite living up to the hype. I'm not saying it's not fast when you browse the web, sites like live leak.com, tmz.com, perezhilton.com (I know I know, they are lame sites but my wife looks at those and those sites seem to bog down my ipad 2/3 at times. With the ipad 4, it's very fast and outputting a video via airplay to my ATV is very fast - much more so than my previous iPads!
|Nov 22, 2012, 05:43 PM
I really wish I had an iPad 4 in my rotation to give this theory a whirl Maybe I will next time going to Best Buy but my prediction is: iPhone 5 has to be more fluid. Powering a screen with that many pixels, gpu aside, makes works the cpu work harder. Especially for games where it's driving that resolution at a dynamic fps and the gpu... makes sense in my head without being able to explain it perfectly. and I think we all learned well with iPad 3 the theory behind it being slower but... And honestly, RAM aside, sometimes I think 3GS was faster than 4 as well for the same reason, despite it being not A4 it was same architecture AFAIK just higher clocked more or less only drive 480x320 instead of 960x640. this whole retina revolution came back to bite them in the behind. just a bit though.
While I recognize A5x is underpowered for the 2048x1536 screen, I never really had an issue with it and it seemed about as fast as my 4S when I had that/a bit slower than iPad2 (from what I remembered on iOS5) for certain things in real world usage. I know because iPad mini is internally an iPad2. Not a hardcore gamer on either pad just casual I should note.

To the OP, are you using the app switcher or the multitasking gestures?
On both my iPad 3 and iPad mini using the app switcher feels near enough instant and the new app is ready for use immediately, but after using a multitasking gesture the new app won't respond to touches for a second or two. It's a annoying as it makes the gestures less fluid but it doesn't feel like a performance problem to me. I think the delay is part of the gesture recognition and it is intended to allow you to switch to, say, the third app without also having to switch to the second app on the way through. I'd have thought there must be a better way of achieving this though...

I've tested this on the retail kiosk ipads at the applestore and at the bestbuy store. They all exhibit the same lag in the ipad 4 when using the multitask switch bar (the double click or four finger swipe up) - when swiping left and right, I think it depends on the memory how much is available; that process is near instant but even then sometimes it lags.
I am comparing to the only other A6 available - in the iphone 5. I am questioning the software optiimization for the A6X in the ipad 4 clearly it has a faster clocked A6 cpu, and the bandwidth of the A6X is significantly higher than all the ipad 2/mini and even the 3.
I now believe it may be iOS 6.0.1 - perhaps iOS 7.0, they will make the ipad 4 more brilliant than it already is?

Wow, ios 6.1 seems to have much improved the task switching! Instead of a few seconds to for an app to respond, it's nearly instant now with ios 6.1!
This is very much welcomed and thank you apple!

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers headed north of the border on Tuesday night for a highly anticipated appearance in Vancouver, British Columbia that rounded out the first week of the Mojo Summer 2010 tour.
With a week -til the release date, Canadians already appear to be familiar with Mojo - songs like "Running Man's Bible" and "Jefferson Jericho Blues" were not only appreciated by the packed house at General Motors Place, but also recognized. Fans sang along with Tom on "I Should Have Known It" and anticipated Mike Campbell's blistering guitar solo on "First Flash of Freedom."
Despite the presence of new songs in the set, Tom and the band still get it up for the classics in their extensive catalog. "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "Refugee" slammed the door on the set before the band emerged for "You Wreck Me" to start the encore. By the time "Runnin' Down A Dream" hit, the crowd was in a frenzy. Another night of incredible rock 'n roll in the books.

The Bulls have lost flank Jacques Potgieter and prop Frik Kirsten to injury after their first tour match against the Rebels last Friday.
According to SuperSport.com, Potgieter suffered a knee injury during the Bulls' 41-35 win over the Rebels and medical scans have revealed that the player will be out for six to eight weeks. Kirtsen broke his hand after coming off the bench in Melbourne and will be sidelined for six weeks. Both forwards will make the trip back to South Africa.
The Bulls have called up prop Rayno Gerber and flank Gerrit-Jan van Velze to bolster their front row and loose forward stocks respectively ahead of their next tour fixture against the Waratahs.
Prop Dean Greyling will also return home after the birth of his first child. This means Dawie Steyn will start against the Waratahs next weekend as he is the only loosehead specialist in the current squad.

All it took for a West Point victory was only two holds of the lead. The Green Wave had an infant lead to start the game 2-0 in the first quarter and the all-important lead takeover 64-61 after a Tre Williams three-pointer and free-throw with 2:16 left in the game.
Friday night was once again an exciting match-up for the Wave as West Point hosted their district-rival and close Golden Triangle neighbor New Hope. Entering into the contest, the Wave were behind the eight-ball with a 0-1 record in district 2 5-A play after a loss to the Saltillo Tigers in December. Hosting the district undefeated Trojans though was an even taller task for the Wave.
West Point fell behind after a sub-par first half which allowed New Hope to take a double-digit lead 40-27. Yet, it was inspired play from Williams, A.J. Jones, Juan Davis, and Demarius Calvert which allowed for the Wave to overcome the 13 point halftime deficit to beat the Trojans 67-63 giving West Point their first district victory.
"We talked a lot at halftime about being down by thirteen," said West Point's head coach Brad Cox, "the second half is long and we just wanted to continually chip away at their lead."
Though trailing at halftime 40-27, West Point played very smart and scrappy basketball in the second half as the Wave at one point in the third quarter were able to close the New Hope lead 47-41 before the Trojans closed out the third quarter with a 4-0 run and a 51-43 lead.
Foul-trouble besieged the Trojans in the fourth quarter as the Wave used 15 made free-throws and absolutely clutch play to finally get their second lead of the game against New Hope. It was also a spectacular effort from Williams who propelled West Point into the lead when he knocked down the corner three-pointer and drew the shooting foul. Once the Wave found the lead at the 2:16 mark, West Point took full control of the contest and never handed it back to the Trojans. West Point was the winners after Jones iced the game from the charity stripe 67-63.
Williams finished the night with 4 three-pointers and a game high 23 points for West Point. Calvert also finished the night with a great inside performance scoring 18 points for the Wave. Rounding out the top scorers was Jones with 11 points, 7 of those points coming from made free throws.
It was a massive undertaking for the young men of West Point to comeback from such a large deficit and one that showed the drive and determination of the Wave. "The team needed it!" proclaimed Williams and Jones following the huge must-win district game.
Now the Green Wave have brought their district record to 1-1 and conquered the previously undefeated New Hope at home. The next district match-up will come against the Oxford Chargers at home and will be another very important contest for West Point. "All the district games are big, but especially the ones at home are even bigger with how hard it can be to win on the road in our district, they really are must wins." Commented Coach Brad Cox about the win against New Hope and the upcoming game against Oxford.

Sikhs invite all to 'become one with God'
Women make roti together for the hundreds of people celebrating Vaisakhi Day at the Gurudwara Sikh Centre of Seattle.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Gurpal Kaur Daind (left), Gurjeet Kaur Aulck (center) and Ravinder Kaur sit together during the Vaisakhi Day celebration at the Gurudwara Sikh Centre of Seattle in Bothell on April 14. More than 800 people gathered during the day to pray, hear from several speakers and enjoy lunch together. Go to HeraldNet.com to view a gallery of photos of the celebration.
Genna Martin / The Herald
Mohan Singh watches over the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book, during Vaisakhi Day celebrations at the Gurudwara Sikh Centre.
Downstairs, mothers adjusted small girls' head scarves. In the kitchen, people lined up to fill plates with food from steaming aluminum pans.
In another room, families sat on the floor to eat along rugs set in rows parallel to the walls -- except for the oldest guests, who sat on benches, nodding to greet each person who entered.
Upstairs, people prayed. They made an offering of small bills at the front of the room. They bowed, head down, arms stretched forward. Children watched their parents for guidance. People talked softly.
Sunday was Vaisakhi Day, an annual sacred celebration for the Sikhs. Hundreds of people went to the Sikh Centre of Seattle in Bothell, just north of where I-405 crosses the Bothell-Everett Highway. Children played outside. People hugged and ate.
"This is a pure place of God. This is a temple. Every wish is fulfilled here," center spokesman Harjinder Sandhawalia said.
Everyone is welcome, Vice President Manmohan Dhillon said. The kitchen is open around-the-clock, he said.
"The food is always good, you know," he said.
Vaisakhi Day celebrates a message given to the Sikhs in 1699, temple president Jaswinder Singh said.
The message was to be compassionate above all, he said. The people were told that compassion leads to faith and courage.
"They can become one with God," he said. "That was a special message."
The Sikhs are a people of peace, Dhillon said. Men and women are equal.
Children are taught classes at the center in the native language, Punjabi.
Jasmine Banga, 15, of Bothell, came to Vaisakhi Day with her mother and sisters. She and her friend Simran Daind, 13, knew almost everyone there, they said.
"It's just really fun coming and spending time with friends and family," Banga said. "You get to listen to the prayers and everything. It's a big thing, and you get to be a part of it. It feels good to be part of a big family."
Each Sikh temple has its own way of celebrating Vaisakhi Day, Daind said. Each way is accepted.
Her friend nodded in agreement. "People should come and watch and see how everything's done," Banga said.

Hammer HEED is a step up from standard powder sports drinks. Hammer HEED is for endurance athletes looking to get the most out of their workout. Hammer realized that a problem with standard sports drinks is that they rely on simple sugars as the carbohydrate source. The use of simple sugar such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose not only severely limits the amount of calories that can be efficiently digested and utilized for energy; it causes fluctuations in your energy level. HEED avoids this by using a complex carbohydrate formula that allows you to obtain the proper amount of calories in a consistent prolonged manner. The consistency ensures your stomach isn't distressed. The added chromium polynicotinate helps to maintain stable blood glucose levels and I- carmosine buffers lactic acid. HEED is in a class of its own in the world of powered sports drinks.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Hammer Heed Drink Mix 80 Serving:
I was introduced to Heed about 2 years ago, while training for a century and was happy to change over from the alternative electrolyte drinks. At the time I was trying out gatorade and cytomax. One of biggest differences I noticed is that Heed is not as syrupy nor as sweet, the flavor is more subtle, for me this is a big deal for most of the cycling nutrition/hydration products are too sweet.
The only other comment/complaint that I have is that Heed spoils easily, I am not sure if this is a good or bad thing. It will usually start to smell different after 2 or 3 hours of riding in moderate heat, so I always mix it up with ice/water to delay the spoiling.
The small complaint above does not stop me from using Heed, I still think its the best hydration product I have found and have purchased multiple canisters throughout the years. I certainly think it is worth a try if you are trying to find your best hydration product for cycling.
Best Uses
Comments about Hammer Nutrition Hammer Heed Drink Mix 80 Serving:
I get dehydrated easily and recently competed in a 100 mile gravel race where temperatures were in the 90's and winds were blowing in the upper teens to low 20's. I alternated drinking HEED and plain water the entire ride, and I was able to finish without suffering from any dehydration side effects. There were a large number of riders passed in the last 40 miles that had only been drinking water and were getting dehydrated.
I have a very fragile system when it comes to getting dehydrated and I can only attribute my success health wise in the race to drinking HEED in addition to water. It works like a charm, it doesn't taste bad but doesn't taste great either, so it could be improved in that regard but certainly tolerable and worth using if you are concerned about fatigue.

Report: LA Galaxy offer for Giovani Dos Santos rejected, but bidding "war" may begin
Report: LA Galaxy offer for Giovani Dos Santos rejected, but bidding "war" may begin
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's reported pursuit of Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos has taken another turn.
According to the Spanish daily Marca, an 8 million euro transfer bid to Dos Santos' current club, Mallorca as well as a 2 million euro contract offer were rejected by the 24-year-old. LA's offer wasn't the only one to be reportedly rejected as Marca reports that Mallorca rejected a significantly smaller bid from Spanish giants Valencia.
That's not all, however, as the Spanish newspaper goes on to state that a bidding "war" could be brewing for Dos Santos between the Galaxy and Valencia.
When reached for comment, the Galaxy declined comment on the report.
Thoughts on Dos Santos rumors? Could the Galaxy win a bidding war with a Spanish side?

It will be quite a busy election year for the Clay County Election Commission, who has already presided over one special election this month and who expects to preside over two more special elections later this year.
One of those special elections will fall in November and will be held to fill the vacant seat of Clay County prosecuting attorney.
Late last week the Clay County Circuit Court's Office received a formal letter of resignation from former Clay County Prosecutor Angela Turner-Lairy, who now serves as senator for District 16. Turner-Lairy said after serving as county prosecuting attorney for five years, walking away from the post wasn't easy but was mandatory now that she serves as a state legislator.
Turner-Lairy completed one four-year term, served one year of her second term and said she is truly grateful to the voters of Clay County and the Clay County Board of Supervisors for their continued support. The most rewarding part about serving as county prosecutor was having the chance to be an advocate for victims, she said.
"There's not one specific case, but anytime I was able to use my position to help victims feels as if they have received justice that was always rewarding," Turner-Lairy said.
Prosecutors are bound by laws passed by state legislators, so Turner-Lairy said her experience as county prosecutor now allows her to form a better opinion about how state laws would affect not only victims of crimes but criminals as well.
District 5 Supervisor Floyd McKee made the motion for the Clay County Election Commission to hold a special election Nov. 5, 2013 to fill the county prosecuting attorney vacancy. The motion was seconded by District 1 Supervisor Lynn Horton and passed unanimously.
McKee expressed his appreciation to Turner-Lairy for her dedication and years of service to the residents of the county.
"She did a great job, was always professional and always on the job and on the case," McKee said. "She's very bright, knew her job well and is easy to work with."
Turner-Lairy said although she's in Jackson serving as senator residents of Clay County can be assured that she's just a phone call away if they have any issues that need to be addressed.
"Even thought I have moved on my work ethic will be the same," she said. "I want to be accessible and would like the residents of Clay County to feel that they can contact me with their concerns. I appreciate the opportunity given to me by the voters of this county as well as the support and professionalism exhibited by those individuals serving in various offices of county government."

Bellisomo's Blog - Training Camp
Today marked the first day of our training camp in Seattle, and it went something like this...
We trained this morning (Wednesday) at 10am in Vancouver. It was a pretty light session due to the fact that we have a game tomorrow against Portland. After training we had some time to grab a quick lunch before we met at 2pm at Burnaby 8 Rinks to board the Greyhound and got going. We arrived in Seattle at about 7pm, dropped our stuff off in our rooms (my roomie is Stefan Leslie) and went for dinner at Dino's, a little Greek/Italian restaurant. Taka was having a tough time with the menu, but Serge managed to help him out a little bit. There was a lot of dodgy sign language being used, and it's quite possible that Taka was more confused after speaking to
Serge than before. Either way, Taka ended up having the salmon which he claimed to have liked (he gave me the thumbs up).
And so now I'm at the computer in the hotel with Eddie Sebrango, who is writing some email's. I'm going to head to bed soon and try and get a good sleep in preparation for our game tomorrow. It is our first game this year against a league opponent, and so will be a good experience for us and an good indicator of how the team is looking. Can't wait.
