The rules dictating loan additions have come under scrutiny this season after Watford brought in 11 players on temporary deals.
The Hornets are third in the npower Championship after fully utilising owner Gino Pozzo's stakes in Udinese and Granada to flood their squad.
Current rules do not place a limit on the number of loan signings a club can make but restrict a matchday squad to containing only five on-loan players.
However those rules do not encompass internationally-capped players so Watford are free to select Joel Ekstrand, Almen Abdi, Matej Vydra and Daniel Pudil outside that five player rule.
The AGM in the summer will address other issues but the most high-profile vote will relate to the loan system, with the aim of international players falling under the same restrictions and being included in the five on-loan individuals permitted in a matchday squad.

It is hardly a convincing argument that because of one company using tax loopholes, we should allow the far-left to destroy the economy.

Same with coffee houses. That paragon of social responsibility Tesco has invested in a chain of boutique coffee shops without particularly mentioning that they are involved.
Which goes to show that you have to either know the proprietor personally or do some good research if you want to avoid filling a megacorp's coffers.

Following this comment I decided to ditch Google and have been searching for something as good.
I have settled on Blekko, which I've been using since Christmas and it seems to do everything I need without all the Google bloat. I am not sure what their ethics are like, but I have satisfactorily proved to myself that the only thing that keeps Google in business is user laziness.
The irony is, of course, that I found Blekko by searching on Google!
DuckDuckGo is much hyped but useless BTW.

I never use coffee shops, as they all seem to do exactly the same thing. Automatic, push-button Espresso with boiled milk added (and various other adulterations), which you have to order in naff cod-Italian jargon. Served Chernobyl-hot, naturally, so by the time the coffee's cool enough for you to taste it and realise how thin and nasty it is, you've walked far enough away that you can't be bothered to go back and complain. And the prices! Dear God!
Make a very modest investment in a grinder, a filter cone* and some papers. Then try a few different coffee bean types, find your favourite(s) and make your own ideal cup of coffee. If you want a coffee for your morning commute, a thermos mug is worth getting.
*or a filter coffee machine, which are dirt cheap if you avoid boutique labels.

Q:Will this stain my skin easily? If so, how can I get rid of that stain?Asked on 6/1/2015 by Cassie
1 answer
A:Phoenix Rising should not stain the skin from using it. The only time you might notice a little bit of color is on dry patches of the skin. Just make sure to keep up with regular exfoliation and you shouldn't have any issues!Answered on 6/1/2015 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:Do bath bombs, especially the really colorful ones like Phoenix Rising, leave residue or a colorful film or stain in your bathtub? If so, is there any cleaning required beyond just rinsing out the tub?Asked on 4/17/2015 by Stormy
3 answers
A:Yes if it has glitter it does but all you have to do is spray bathroom cleaner and rinse it out
Sent from my iPadAnswered on 4/18/2015 by Anonymous
A:Generally, our bath bombs, like Phoenix Rising, do not leave any stains in the tube. There might be glitter residue that can be either rinsed out or left until your shower to get washed away, but they definitely don't stick around for too long! Although, if your tub is a bit porous it might leave a slight discolouration, which can be cleaned simply with vinegar and baking soda or one of our Amandopondo bubble bars. Amandopondo is fantastic, because it has a lot of lemon that help clean out your tub -- so you get to bathe and clean at the same time!Answered on 4/18/2015 by Pauline
A:Yes. Phoenix Rising leaves a golden shimmer residue in the tub after use. It does take a little scrubbing with some cleaned but it's totally worth it!
Sent from my iPhoneAnswered on 4/17/2015 by Anonymous
Q:Does this have aloe in it?Asked on 2/10/2015 by Caitlyn

Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium Photo Gallery
The University of Delaware's newly named Stuart & Suzanne Grant Stadium (previously Delaware Mini-Stadium), located just east of the Delaware Stadium, includes a field for soccer and a quarter-mile all-weather track.
The facility underwent extensive renovations during the Summer of 2000 with the installation of a new all-weather track, a new natural grass (Bluegrass) playing surface with a drainage and irrigation system, and television quality light standards.
During the summer of 2011, the stadium got another facelift. The previous surface, a Rye/Fescue mix, was replaced with Bermuda grass, making the venue one of the premier natural fields in the Colonial Athletic Association.
The track is a Eurotan Track (made by Southwest Recreational) and is made of a granular rubber base and a polyurathane coat. The track was installed by Clark Corp. of Delhi, N.Y. The field is lighted by six poles with 92 fixtures. The lights were installed by Musco lighting of Iowa.

Sylvania 5K to raise awareness about celiac diseaseWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | email@example.com
Cheri Shinaver's daughter, Kaylee, had a stomachache for two years.
"My belly hurts, my belly hurts," she would say.
Shinaver, a nurse, would take her to the pediatrician who couldn't find anything wrong. The stomachache would persist.
"We kept going back and back," Shinaver said.
At one point, the doctor saw that the young girl bit her nails and suggested she was nervous and it was leading to stomach problems. She went to a psychologist. No resolution.
"It would hurt when she went to school, when she went to soccer practice and on the weekends," Shinaver said.
Finally, a bout of bloody diarrhea sent her to a GI doctor who did some blood work. The result: celiac disease, an allergy to eating gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
"One in 133 people have celiac disease, but 95 percent aren't diagnosed," Shinaver said. "It took my daughter over two years to get diagnosed and it takes eight or nine years for an adult to be diagnosed. That is a lot of people suffering."
On May 17, Shinaver hopes to raise awareness about celiac disease at the second annual Beat the Wheat Race at Fossil Park, 5705 N. Centennial Road in Sylvania. Registration for the 5K begins at 7:30 a.m. with the race starting at 9 a.m. Registration is $16 in advance and $20 on the day of the race. Everyone who registers gets a T-shirt.
"We have a free family fun walk if you aren't a runner," she said. "We also have a food fair with a bunch of gluten-free companies donating samples."
Charlie's Homemade Pizza & Italian Cuisine, Chick-fil-A and Organic Bliss are among the businesses serving food. Kathy Nagypaul, owner of Creative Cupcakes & Baked Goods, plans to bring gluten-free cupcakes, sugar-free cupcakes and regular cupcakes.
"Personally, I have tried my gluten-free cupcakes and they are just as good as my regular cupcakes," Nagypaul said. "People come in and order the gluten-free ones, even though they don't need to be gluten-free; they just think it is healthier."
More than 200 people came to the inaugural race last year with 174 registering to do the race and 30 walking around and sampling the food and picking up literature on celiac disease and eating gluten-free.
Shinaver said meals, birthday parties and vacations are more complicated because of celiac disease. At first, Kaylee, who is now 12, was the only one diagnosed in the family, even though there is a genetic link.
"But just this last fall, my 6-year-old started to complain of stomachaches," Shinaver said.
Once again, the doctor thought it was something else. Acid reflux was suspected, even though Shinaver asked that Rylee be tested for celiac disease. The doctor wouldn't do it at first, but eventually did.
Rylee had it.
For Shinaver, this means that two of her children now need to eat gluten-free, while two don't.
Since cross-contamination in cooking is a worry, most of the family's food is gluten-free, which is more expensive.
"One tiny little crumb is enough to set off your [immune system] and it will take months for your body to heal."
For those with this digestive disease, eating something that contains gluten triggers an immune response in the small intestine. The inflammation then leads to intestinal damage and limits nutrient absorption.
Shinaver said her girls know how to read labels, but socially the 12-year-old is more affected by her disease so far.
"I want her to learn to be an advocate for herself. It will always be this way," Shinaver said. "She has good friends who are really supportive of her. She knows she doesn't eat at the cafeteria. When she goes to birthday parties, she brings her own pizza and her own cupcake. We try to make it as normal as possible."

Azealia Banks Talks New MAC Lipstick, Bi-sexuality and Beyonce
Fresh off of launching her new MAC lipstick, 'Yung Rapunxel' during Fashion's Night Out in New York City, Azealia Banks sat down for a brief chat with Rolling Stone Magazine. Per usual, she was raw and uncut as she chatted about the inspiration behind her new lip shade, as well as her constant use of the word 'cunt' and her bi-sexuality. She also chatted about making a fool out of herself the first time she ever met one of her idols; Beyonce.
Check it out a few highlights below:
On what her new lipstick represents
"Yung Rapunxel" represents what I'm all about: being myself, no matter what it costs. Yung Rapunxel is that girl who pisses people off but doesn't really mean to. She's actually a sweetheart! But people are so taken aback that she's so herself; she's not even trying to be unique or different. She literally just lives in her head; she does what she wants to do. So, the lipstick is here for someone who is happy to be themself
On why she chose purple
I think purple on dark skin does look really royal. So instead of a brown or red, I thought purple was perfect for me.
It's actually inspired by it! I got this purple weave when I went to Australia and had a meeting with [MAC] and said, "This is my hair for the fall. Let's do purple."
On her alter ego
When I first started wearing long weaves – this was when I was about 16 and worked at Starbucks and could afford it, [because] before that, my parents wouldn't let me! – I bought this 24-inch-long weave. And you could not tell me that I was not the sexiest shit ever. I was like, "Oh my gosh, look at me." And I started calling myself Rapunzel; when I wrote "212," I randomly added the "Young" to it. Sometimes when you're writing, ideas just spring up randomly, and I realized "Yung Rapunxel" sounded so cool.
On what inspired her latest music video '1991'
Well, I'm from Harlem. I went to art school; I grew up with the cunts. And that term doesn't come from me! People think I invented it, but I didn't. To be cunty is to be feminine and to be, like, aware of yourself. Nobody's f-cking with that inner strength and delicateness. The cunts, the gay men, adore that. My friends would say, "Oh you need to cunt it up! You're being too banjee." Banjee means unrefined and rough. You need your cunts: they fix your hair for you and do your makeup. They give you confidence and give you life.
On whether she supports the gays and her sexuality
Definitely. I mean, I'm bisexual, so it makes sense. But I don't want to be that girl who says all gays necessarily hang out together, of course! I have people say to me, "Oh wow, my friend is gay, too," and I'm like, "Yeah, so?"
On the two celebrities she idolized while growing up
Aaliyah. And I love Beyonce – she's the queen of everything. She's the most remarkable performer and musician. And this is just my humble opinion, but I just think she's better than everyone else making music right now.
I met her – and I cried! It was so embarrassing. It was at the Met Ball. I was f-cking around with Kanye and she was sitting there, chilling and eating dinner. I freaked out. And I realized she saw me being a dummy and I started crying. Then I saw her expression, like, "Girl, get your sh-t together." I had to walk away and get myself together and pat my face, then come back to properly say hi! And if I meet her again someday, I'll probably cry again.

Those of you that know me and this Blog will also know that there is an annual tradition in this house. It's THAT time again for the annual back to school photo!
If you've never done this, why not?! It's a magnificent way of tracking the growth and development of your child, from cute, through goofy and into sullen. Or maybe you have a child at each of those stages (good luck with that, by the way)?
Whoever they are, however old they be, however much they protest – make it happen. It's priceless entertainment in the years to follow. (FYI I used 'PicMonkey.com' to create this image collage).
Oh, and just to be fair, here's my back to school photo from 1983. Sorry about that.
Share your back to school memories with us – either write a blog post and link it up (the Linky will stay open for some time yet, so no need to rush), or just share your memories with us in the comments if you prefer – you don't have to have a Blog to play!

In the recent State of the Game announcement, some sites have gone amuck with wild claims. Let me be among the first to stomp them (OK someone beat me). Not because I hate SWTOR .. contrary I love the SWTOR universe.
I have a love - hate relationship with EA, and I want to present what I see, as I see it. I still play SWTOR BTW.
I came across this reporting travesty:
Star Wars: The Old Republic Subscriber Base Growing
March 21, 2013
A frank letter from the game's executive producer talks about how The Old Republic can still improve, but also touts 2 million new active players since going free-to-play.
Are you one of those two million new TOR players? If not, what would the game have to do to lure you into that galaxy far, far away?
I wonder how much EA paid for that press release (read the full article then decide).
Holy shit, 2 million new active players!
2 million new accounts =/= 2 million new players. I have another "free" account myself as a subscriber. Many others I know also have free accounts, sometimes multiple free accounts.
Many new accounts were created because of bugs to dis-allow anyone with a former account from creating a new character (ie you have exceeded the max allowed when you only have only a few characters). The characer max on a former paid account meant either a former subcriber deleted character or made a new F2P account. Creating a new F2P account won the battle, since EA refused to answer customer questions about this (and denied transfers).
Well new accounts were created anyways, and WHOOP WHOOP, they count in the 2 million, even though the creaters are also subscribers! So a huge chunk of those new accounts consists of current or former players, sorry.
Of those 2 million accounts, how many of those are banned .. those who keep using a bot program. And just create a new account later. (many youtube SWTOR bot vids out there .. it happens!)
Reckless reporting is reckless. There was never 2 million new players.
One last time, let me look at what he said:
"The Old Republic can still improve, but also touts 2 million new active players since going free-to-play."
Nope dude, wrong on many counts, you don't know what you're talking about and don't deserve reporting status. If and when I read a future article by Matt Miller, you realize that I won't take you seriously. This abomination on reporting will haunt you. It's pretty bad.
ps: I used to like gameinformer, but now I question them.
Original text, just in case what I'm talking about gets deleted from Gameinformer:
Star Wars: The Old Republic Subscriber Base Growing
by Matt Miller on March 21, 2013
A frank letter from the game's executive producer talks about how The Old Republic can still improve, but also touts 2 million new active players since going free-to-play.
The prevailing sentiment in many gaming circles is that The Old Republic is struggling to find players, but info from the developer seems to counter that idea. Executive producer Jeff Hickman posted an open letter to the community today, in which he discusses the state of the game.
"Last spring, there was some uncertainty surrounding Star Wars: The Old Republic as we were starting to lose subscribers and players were growing frustrated," says Hickman. "In fairness, many of the complaints and worries were justified. In an effort to try to address everything, we just weren't sufficiently focused on improving the core experience."
In response, the team added the group finder, increased the rate of content release, and brought in new players by offering a free-to-play option. How many new players? "Since launch of the free-to-play option we have had over two million new accounts created and have thousands of new players jumping in every single day," Hickman states.
No one familiar with the gaming industry can doubt the challenge presented by releasing and then maintaining a high-quality MMO. No matter your opinion of The Old Republic, it's refreshing to see the developer speaking openly with its audience, as well as acknowledging past challenges and goals for how it hopes to overcome those issues.
Are you one of those two million new TOR players? If not, what would the game have to do to lure you into that galaxy far, far away?

Wonder if he lies or is just stupid. How can he even mention subscribers with the information that he is given. If that site ever had any reputation it sure took a hit now cause calling yourself Gameinformer and spreading misinformation isn't the best thing.

[quote] So a huge chunk of those new accounts consists of current or former players, sorry. [/quote]
You have no proof for this statement. just because you created an extra account doesn't mean "huge chunks" of new accounts are from those who did the same.

well it is not that hard seeing as you have to send a letter to them to have them deactivate your account, so active players are everyone who have created a new account since f2p.
What i would be curious to know is the number of regularly playing accounts.
But yes that was lazy writing.

2 million new F2P accounts is not the same as 2 million new $15/month subscriptions.
And at the end of the day EA managed to sell more full priced boxed sets in the first 4 months of the game in EU & US than they managed to give away free accounts in the first 4 monhs of the game being free-to-play "worldwide".

They have two million new accounts created. If that's a true fact, then that's a true fact. That statement never qualifies the quality of the accounts, for any game.
While total accounts created is a factor, more relevant metrics are daily active logins, monthly active logins, and peak concurrency. Frame that with respect to revenue generated per month and you have a much better idea of the game activity.
The OP didn't really come up with anything better than gameinformer other than to point out that total accounts created doesn't give us the entire picture.

Incidently I've seen some good rationale for why the majority of WoW customers reside in China, stemming directly from investor calls (East / West used to be reported separately), along with Blizzards statements of China growth, while overall combined subs continued to fall. But then someone always still says, "Not-aww!!!". lol so I guess that is similar to you own bias vs fact 'because I said so'.
Not sure what you mean about the lying part. EA was likely on the money with their carefully chosen words. GameInformer did stretch the truth either due to negligence or to facilitate misinformation. You need additional discussion points that 2 million new accounts (EA's Hickman statement) is not the same as 2 million new active players (GameInformers statement) ?

Well I see it as 2 mill new account's period.How many of those are an extra account for a paying subscriber?My bet is the % is low,I mean why play a limited account if you're already a paying sub?Make's no sense to me.
Does it really make a differance how many turn into sub's?I'm quite sure many of those new account's will use the Cartel shop/or already have,and ultimately that's what EA is after.
In the end the specific's are not my interest,just the raw number's and the realization that many will use the Cartel shop.The shop is the bread and butter at this point as far as I'm concerned,the more the merrier.

Update (Apr.21 1pm): Here is an update from the Google Blog: "Back on the map"
An observant Digg user has pointed out that Google has changed the Google Local name back to Google Maps. Google switched from Maps to Local back on October 6th, 2005. While the URL still resolves to local.google.com the title tag, title bar and the service name above the search field now say Maps instead of Local. Here is a before look. Google Local for Mobile appears to have kept the same name.
This name change does make you wonder what might be next from Google. Perhaps this could now mean that street maps will no longer hinge on an underlying business directory being present before they offer this map content to new countries. I'm not sure about you, but we here at Google Maps Mania feel MUCH better about the change of heart and wonder if there are any more plans in the works that accompany the product re-naming decision. Stay tuned!

So iPad 2 will have a 2048x1536 Retina Display?
Looks like iBooks 1.1 includes references to x2 iPad graphics, shorthand for Retina Display graphics that would peg iPad 2's screen at technology-bending 2048x1536. That's precisely double the current iPad's 1024x768 in both dimensions, and precisely what Apple did with iPhone 4 last year. (Doubling the pixels is the easiest way to keep existing apps functional and prevent fragmentation and mass developer angst.)
Doubling iPad 2's resolution would result in a 260dpi display, not as sharp as iPhone 4's 326dpi. As we've said many times, Retina Display is dependent on distance and most people hold an iPad further away than they do an iPhone. So 260dpi should be effectively similar if not the same.
But 2048x1536 is more pixels than the $999 Apple 27" LED Cinema Display, in a smaller area, and in a device that with all other components -- including the rumored Apple A5 chipset powerful enough to drive that many pixels -- starting at half the price.
I'm still not sure that technology exists at that price point. I am getting slightly weary of the back and forth rumors though, so hopefully Apple announces their iPad 2 event and Steve Jobs puts this to rest for once and for all.
Meanwhile, speculate away. If Apple puts their mind and supply chain to it could they get this miracle of glass done?

So iPad 2 will have a 2048x1536 Retina Display?
it will not happen. thanks.
Thumbs up for a very jobs-like reply
of course. Because the tablets main feature if the screen. Nothing else matters.
Well, no...but if Apple can acquire components twice as spec'd as the competition, and keep performance/battery life constant despite pushing 4x the pixels, and keep the price point the same, then, yeah, the competition is in trouble.
I'd be surprised if they can pull it off so soon - but I'd buy one.
Apple can do anything I want
Sent from my iPad 2
I try my best :)
First, Apple won't raise prices on any of their products, even updates to products. They always start with large margins and bring their prices down with time, if anything.
Second, I too am highly skeptical of these rumors, not because I have any kind of insight into Apple or have they work. Rather, I just think modern technology cannot support this in the consumer market. A display that size would require a LOT of horsepower to power it appropriately, muchness to Apple's especially high standards. I just don't think that technology exists that would allow this for less than thousands of dollars. I don't care how innovative Apple is. They aren't magicians.
You know, I've been thinking about this "conventional wisdom" about Apple always sticking to its price points, but I'm not so sure Apple will stick to that here. I think they have a $399 point they could have an iPad model at. Maybe even $299. This puts even more downward price pressure on all other "tablets" coming out, squeezes all the profit out of competitors.
The tablet market is new, so maybe Apple really does want a big big piece of the pie here. An iPad with 16 GB storage, 1 GHz A4 and 1024x768 screen is well within reason for them. (Just think about how much more money it would be to take the 8 GB iPod touch guts, at $229, and then outfit it with iPad screen, chassis and battery).
$399 or $299 is simply not happening. First, Apple bragged about how cheap the iPad was at it's current price point when it was announced. Jobs said that they had really worked to get the price down that low, so I don't see any reason to lower it, especially how well it is selling now. Next, at $299 or $399 Apple is starting to get into iTouch range. Apple does not want to mix these price ranges because they currently make a large profit off the iTouch, and would make very little profit off an iPad at $299 or even $399.
The technology is already exist. That's what displayport for. TV with much higher resolution than today HDTV is exist. The problem is that many tech company don't want to adopt the tech or bring the tech to the market yet. The same is true for iPad and iPhone. Apple move ahead of the competition because seeing this opportunity and willing to take risk to bring the tech to the market. Not only they bring it to the market, but also with correct go-to market strategy, implementation and price point.
Nice! I suppose 260dpi, being below 300dpi, the self-imposed "retina standard" of Steve Jobs at the introduction of iPhone 4 technically falls 40dpi short. lol That's plenty close enough for me, though, and obviously, they will likely keep the LED-backed IPS LCD technology and with that, my own personal appetite for super hi-resolution, high-quality displays will have been met, and then some. :-D Can we do the iMac next? 5120x2880 at 27"? Please?
My god. This would explain the slow rollout rumors we have been hearing of sales being restricted to US Apple retail stores for the first three months.
But can they do this to the entire line? Or perhaps for just one high-end model with a steep price tag? Seems a screen like this is going to increase the price, which would give the other tablet makers a foothold.
As for the "competition"...There isn't any. Have you guys played around with that Samsung tablet? A then there's RIM with its 7"Playbook (and with that, it has less than half the screen size of the current 9.7" iPad) ...Playbook! LOL...At least they named it appropriately. According to RIM, it will take them until summer to come up with it and then, they're only going with Sprint's network, at least initially, as is the case with a certain other lame-a$$ tablet by Samsung.
Really? Little Sprint, U.S.A. will be the only audience and that is supposed to be competition for Apple's worldwide audience and immediate availability (come on, even when they were doing waiting lists, it took less than a couple of weeks) and that was only the case in the beginning. Besides, RIM and Co. would love to have a problem like not being able to make enough because everyone is eating them up as they come in.
And where's Microsoft these days? Not that I really care but once they actually follow through on anything resembling a tablet without canceling their supposed product a few months later, its efforts will likely fall short of anything substantial, just as its Windows Phone 7 line has been deemed a disappointment by LG this week...
This is an Apple world we live in and from what I've seen at CES, with the biggest player not even showing up, it will only get increasingly difficult for anybody else to come up with a consumer-worthy alternative to the iPad, especially with the 2nd iteration of the iPad setting the bar even higher and with that, even farther out-of-reach for the so-called non-existent "competition".
The Blackberry Playbook is being released in March as wifi only with 3g models to be released in the summer. That's the announcement that Sprint made. Since Rim sells Blackberries to every carrier im guessing that they will follow that model with the playbook. Sprint probably hlmade the announcement at CES because they really didn't have much else to talk about.
Firstly, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is available on all carriers! Secondly, the BlackBerry PlayBook will be available as a Wi-Fi model as well.
In terms of screen size, the smaller tablets out there are far nicer to use, and are not a brick like the original iPad. As a former Apple employee, I can tell you now, with the next iPad, that Apple will either go with a high resolution display and hike the price right up, or stay with the same display and just add a camera or two, and put in a micro-HDMI port (finally!).
But as always, the one thing people forget about is iOS. I'd get an "iPad 2" if iOS genuinely gained new and useful functionality, instead of wireless printing!! How about multi-tasking Apple?! And no, not "fast-app switching!"
The way I see it, tablets are the single most important factor in winning over the next generation of personal computer users. The tech has finally caught up with the vision. Apple knows they need to take over this market in Microsoftian fashion or risk becoming a niche player ala OS X. Often, a tech company will sell a product at a significant loss, with the knowledge that it will be made up is software sales. Considering the juggernaut of cash which is the App Store, Apple could safely sell this beast at a loss and make up for it in ITunes sales.
Right now the hulking behemoth that is Android is pounding at the door. Jobs may see a calculated risk as the factor that will male even the most hardcore of Android fans swallow their fanboy hats and go for the best tablet around. I know loss leaders go against every bone in Jobs body, but we are talking about the golden ticket of tech. He is probably thinking a lot about his legacy and the future of his company after he is gone. A commanding market dominance would cement the future of his friends and employees at the company he built.
If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that Apple will keep their price points the same or lower. They're already making less profit on the iPad than they typically do on their other devices so I can't see a device with mind-blowing specs like these being that cheap. I think the display resolution will stay the same, but they will improve the display in some other way.
I donot know about this maybe they are testing/trying to making it work because if they could they would do so.
First of all I thunk that Apple will make something up inorder to say RetinaDisplay.
I would like to have a smaller iPad not much smaller but engh to have a higher DPI.
Also iBooks is not part if iOS, so one thought is maybe Appleis making an externa display that could be used for macs and the iPad.
lol my other half helps Apple with their online marketing! no seriously.
She said that apple will be holding a conference on the 1st Feb, regarding new releases. She cant tell me no more though :(
One thing i heard is that the iPad will be reduced in price to clear out extra stock as one version of the iPad did not sell as well as Apple thought! So if you wanna buy an iPad i'd wait for a few weeks ;)
The SoC to power this high resolution display is not the issue here. A Apple A5 with e.g. 1GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 with a 200MHz dual-core SGX543 and 512MB-1GB LPDDR2 RAM on a 64-bit bus can run this without a problem and wouldn't cost much more @40nm than the A4 and it's predecessor. And the display itself can be built too, even in high quantities.
The ONLY real issue here is the COST of a 9.7" 2048x1536 LCD panel and Apple's standard high profit margins. But this is a tablet land-grab right now, so maybe lower margins are seen as acceptable for now by Apple's management.
I would love to see that... But it makes little sense for two reasons:
- Cost - How could they get a display like that and still sell for $499-599? I don't see it. If they were able to, I guess it would be an admission that they really they really overprice desktop displays.
- Resolution - more resolution than 99% of desktop screens, in a 10" package... Severe overkill.
It makes more sense for a product a year from now, the iPad 3.
"It makes more sense for a product a year from now, the iPad 3."
If even then. I'd bet we won't see displays of that resolution on consumer 10" screens for five years. There's no way Apple is rolling that out for iPad 2. Who really needs better than 720p resolution on a tablet screen, right now?
From researching LCD and Plasma tv's for a while before purchasing one I
LEarned that the human eye can't distguinsh between 720p and 1080p under 42" screen. Why on earth would apple want to blow past 1080p and drive up cost on a 10" screen then ? Doesn't make sense.
Human eye can definitely see the difference between those resolutions BUT only if its not too far off. If' you'll re read the same research(s) you're talking about, I'm sure you'll find them saying the exact same thing too. Most of us watch TV from atleast 8-10 feet away and as you go further away from that point, your eyes wont see the difference between because its too far off now. So in a real world situation, the difference bewteen 1080p and 720p is mostly negligible unless you have a 50+ inch TV.
But we use our ipads in our hands. So it wont ever be more than 2 feet away or maybe 3 feet if you decide to put it in a stand to watch a movie or something. At that distance, a normal human eye can definitely see the difference between iPad's current resolution and the rumored double resolution.
I suggest you check out the iPhone 4 (or iPod 4) and compare it with any of the last gen iDevice. New iphones have double the resolution and its not just noticeable, it's really useful too especially for text based content which looks like it was printed on real paper instead of a pixel based display.
IMNS is correct, and here's a TLDR version for you, that distinction isn't relative to screen size but viewing distance. That 42" number came from research of a specific viewing distance. As the distance decreases your ability to see the definition increases.
BTW: 2048×1536 is not more pixels than the 2560x1440 as seen on the 27" displays.
Nevertheless, if Apple will release such a retina display, it will be much more expensive then the standard display. Why not make an "iPad HD" besides an "iPad"? You'll get what you are willing to pay for.
Of course the problem of CPU/graphics power would require two CPU architectures, too. It probably won't be a wise decision of Apple to make the iPad faster than the iPad HD. With the same CPU/graphics, that would be the case.
My guess is that if Apple does release the iPad 2 with a retina display, they will split the product lines like with the iPhone. So the baseline wi-fi models won't have retina display and in fact would be the current gen models, maybe with a price drop or capacity bump. The the new models get introduced just to the high end 3G/CDMA models, maybe with optional subsidy prices if you choose a subscription through your carrier.
I don't think you all really understand... it's just like before OS 4.0 was released they found apps that had graphic specs for 2X the resolution. This higher resolution iPad is a done deal just like the Verizon iPhone was with all the leaks months ahead! Apple has once again lead the pack in technology and innovation. Hell, the mobile phone industry still hasn't surpassed the iPhone 4's resolution! I would bet the house, car and the farm on it! I guarantee you... when they announce the iPad at twice the resolution, you all can return to this blog and my comment and see that it was the truth!
I have no clue whether they got the processor to handle it. I remember being blown away at the iphone 4's proposed resolution and they did it somehow. So I wouldn't be surprised if they could do it.
It just seems out of character for Apple to include this so quickly on the ipad when they could easily hold off on it for an ipad 3. We'll have android tablet makers to thank for it for pressuring apple. And it would keep the ipad far ahead of the rest. The only thing is, they're far ahead already.
All I know is one thing thing. This is a segment Steve J. wants to win. He said it himself when he introduced te IPad. "this is a segment we are in to win."
With that I believe this "Rumour" has legs to stand on. If they want to win this segment then Apple may be willing to not make as much money as they usually do on a product.
And for some reason when he said in it to win it. I don't think he was talking about just profit margin. This IPad has been his dream for many many years and he wants to leave a stamp on the computer industry like no other with this one.
So I believe the rumor could definitely be true and that Apple is willing to make some sacrifices to ensure they "win" the segment. This type of resolution will be very hard for the Rest of the industry to match.
"For me" the retina display on the iPhone is mind blowing and one if it's biggest draws, I'm sure the same will be fir the iPad.
One thing is the fact that one of the most prevalent ivenntices for making use of your credit cards is a cash-back or perhaps rebate provision. Generally, you'll get 1-5% back with various buying. Depending on the credit cards, you may get 1% back again on most expenses, and 5% again on expenditures made in convenience stores, filling stations, grocery stores along with member merchants'.
Apple does not make the displays them selves. If they have it, an android phone/tablet manufacture more than likely makes it. Samsung..LG..or so forth. That pretty much means that the android and or RIM tabs will pretty much have the same screens. The screens the manufactures build for there own android devices. Apple is just a purchaser not a supplier.
True but Apple is notorious for buying displays in large numbers and bringing down the prices by doin so causing shortages for the rest of the industry. This is also why they are able to introduce new technologies at last years prices (see iPhone 4).
Your statement also holds true for the iPhone 4 but "I" have yet to see a "retina" display on any other phone except the iPhone. If there is one out there it has not gained the popularity of the iPhone. So Apple is doing something that is causing the phone manufacturers to incorporate retina type of displays on their phones.
I would suspect it has something to do with the things I mentioned in my first paragraph.
Exactly. Obviously, the manufacturers know what Apple's doing, yet they continue to crank out a zillion different models of cheap handsets. Leadership and determination is what sets Apple apart. Even teh Google doesn't have a solid vision on Android and takes a half-arsed interest in it.
Bah. Samsung's Super AMOLED screens had a few negatives compared to an IPS display. Samsung's AMOLED screens are great for color, but suck at text and line display because of the PenTile matrix (RGBG) sub-pixel arrangement they use. Text rendering on them are ugly compared to LCDs.
Apple made the right choice going with a high density IPS.
@ webvex - "I'm still having a hard time seeing how they could do it. It just seems unpossible."
I think there are several ways Apple could handle the cost of a (presumably more expensive) high-resolution "Retina" screen:
- Raise the price of iPad 2 models above their iPad 1 equivalents. This would reduce demand, depending on how much the price were increased. But it would maintain Apple's profit margins.
- Keep the same 3-tiered pricing scheme and same price points, then add a fourth ultra-high-end model at the top. Just like the "best" option for buying Macs. That model's higher margin would help offset the reduced margins for the less-expensive models. Historically, Apple's low-end and high-end models have tended to sell best. Not necessarily the mid-range models.
- Keep iPad 2 models at the exact same price points that iPad 1 sold for, and don't add a new ultra-high-end model. Lower margins for Apple across the board, but it would be near-impossible for any competitor to match iPad 2's screen resolution at a similar price. Lower margins but bigger sales numbers than in scenario 1.
Of course, it's also possible that Apple could continue to sell the iPad 1. If so, it's likely that Apple would only ship the low-end wi-fi-only model at $100 less than last year. That does two things: competes with any cheaper competing pads, and lets Apple amortize the old design over two years instead of just one.
If they do it then I think #3 would be their option. It goes against their normal business strategy in the short term but in the long term it would be business as usual.
Again this is a segment Apple is in to win and they want to define that segment for the future. I think they will do what it takes to get a large jump on the rest of the industry.
People say Apple has small incremental increases with their product updates. To me the only small increase was from 3G to 3GS. I think Apple is going to be aggressive with the IPad, very aggressive.
Also the halo affect comes into play. If apple produces a much better iPad with the same pricing as the current version, people will want it and want it bad. When these same people go to upgrade their desk tops, they may be inclined to with a Mac, thus generating more sales overall for Apple.
We already see the iPhone is having a halo affect, I'm sure this will hold true forthe iPad.
No no no. The improvement from the 3G to the 3GS will be the biggest relative change in CPU performance that you'll ever see. Bank on it. The 3GS had a 2x real-world performance improvement for basically all CPU ops over the 3G.
You will never see that level of CPU performance improvement again. Never. The current transition from 1 GHz level Cortex-A8 devices to 1 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 will be pretty big too, but relatively, it won't be as big as the change from 400 MHz ARM11 devices to 600 MHz Cortex-A8 devices.
I'm not so sure about that. A 1 GHz dual-core Cortex-A9 (and Cortex-A9 itself is said to be at least 20% faster per clock than Cortex-A8) with a 200 MHz dual-core SGX543, LPDDR2 RAM etc. could also result in an overall 2x performance improvement over the previous generation. And if Apple takes full advantage of some of the new SoC features as well (OpenCL), the improvements could be even bigger.
Actually I think the 3G to 3Gs was a more significant update than the iPhone 1 to the 3G.
@ craig - "That pretty much means that the android and or RIM tabs will pretty much have the same screens. The screens the manufactures build for there own android devices. Apple is just a purchaser not a supplier."
And none of the Android manufacturers or RIM will get the same prices Apple can get. Apple will corner the 10" touchscreen market they way they cornered the flash memory market. They get the best prices on flash memory because they're the world's largest consumer of flash ram.
The same thing will happen with touchscreen displays. Apple will get the best prices because they make the largest purchases. All other pad manufacturers will be left to fight over the remaining supply. They'll need to out-bid each other, which drives their prices up and their margins down.
That's life in the big city.
Only for those that make specialized iPad apps. For the huge number of deva that simply make a new aspect layout for there app and inclide it with the phone app that would end up being more of a godsend for them to have the same aspect ratio.
It's funny to see people say things like "Apple really wanted... But had to...." and "Steve Jobs true vision is...". Everything is speculation and guesses by sites which barely understand the technology they are writing about.
As I see it, there are 2 ways to hide your upcoming products: leak no information or leak tons of contradictory bits of info and watch the blog sites dance.
It's going to be double or nothing, so to speak. :D And what the heck are some of you guys talking about when you say "overkill" or "unnecessary" when it comes to these super high-res. displays?
I guess the iPhone 4's display is overkill as well under that theory? Well, it isn't. Open the same webpage in Safari on both the iPhone 4 and the iPad. Then take a look at text at first. Unless you're blind, have really bad vision or are generally not very perceptive, you will look in awe at how the iPhone 4 blows the iPad away with its astonishingly crisp and razor sharp text. Then go to a page on your springboard and view the specially-crafted and so-called Retina icons and compare them to those on an iPad. Again, night-and-day different (as in better), if you're into high-quality screens as I am. Even the 2560x1440 resolution on my 27" iMac displays text noticeably "worse" than the 960x640 3.5" screen on my iPhone 4.
And this is a valid comparison being that the iMac, iPad, and the iPhone 4 all have LED backlight and IPS premium display technology where you can look from virtually any angle and the colors all stay the same and text does not lose its crispness.
Apple has really ruined me for any products and devices that do not have these ridiculously ultra-high quality and not-even-the-sky-is-the-limit features and specs.
As far as pricing is concerned, I seriously doubt that Steve Jobs will go on stage to introduce the 5th iPhone in June and during his delivery of Apple's (company) updates will brag about how they are loss-leading the way at 100 iPad 2's per second. "Whoop, another second went by and we just lost another couple hundred k'sy. Not to worry, to the stockholders in the audience. This is part of our new strategy where we rely on our 40% cut every time our developers sell another 99c app. It's just phenomenal." (insert multiple additional superlatives) lol
Screen IS the most important part than the internals. I use a 30' 2560 x 1600 res super ips panel with my desktop and nothing beats it. It shames 1080p panels all day long. If they can put that res in a 10 inch pad a 1/4 inch thicken will be impressed and I don't impress easily. If they can do this I may just pick one up when before I thought My iPhone 4 was plenty.
I would not be surprised to see a retina display on the next iPad.
I would not be surprised to see it across the entire iPad line, considering that Apple is reportedly helping fund new LCD factories of two electronics suppliers.
Perhaps the margin will be lower initially, but in the long run, when you get enough people hooked on iCandy iCrack, there's no going back. Lower margins will be made up in the future. (There will be no lost-leaders from Apple, sorry.)
That said, what I speculate will happen is there will be (1) an /iPad G1/ (2010 model, 16K only), (2) an /iPad G2/ with Face Time cameras and all new goodies but a current-gen (or slightly-bumped) A4 processor, and (3) an /iPad G2HD/ with a retina display plus a souped-up dual core A5 with dual/quad core graphics (with a bit larger battery, too). This way Apple gets to sell a model at $100 less than the current price, at the current price, and at probably a $200 premium over current prices. In 2012, then I expect the HD will standard when there are factories in place to support the demand.
Myself, I would buy the G2HD. Hope they get 64GB models. I'd pay up to $999 for that.
Well if Apple dose not come out with a Retina Display, and 4g I'll just will have to stop expecting it, and go for the Galaxy tab. Ps it would be like Steve to put out an Ipad 3 with 4g and not a Retina Display, than turn around in six months time and come out with an iPad 4 I'm sick and tired of his BS.
Having read this I believed it was very enlightening.
I appreciate you taking the time and energy to put
this content together. I once again find myself
spending a significant amount of time both reading and
leaving comments. But so what, it was still worth it!
Take a look at my web page - iphone 5 blog
And so I need a laptop under atleast $700 but in a different colour some other compared
to silver or black (preferably blue,red or white).
Does that exist? Where can I get it? Even thoug tis cheap it can't such as fall apart or perhaps definitely not work to something. Should I wait until boxing day ? I am thus confuzzled..

If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
Honestly while housing and guild halls are considered sandboxy, Themeparks like EQ2, and Aion have it as well. It really is not sandboxy by itself. It is more on how the housing and guild halls are implemented. If they are implemented as instaces ala EQ2 and AION it is a themepark feature. If they are implemented like SWG or Archeage which are in the world with no instancing, it is a sandbox feature. So depending on how Anet implements it will dictate that. The comment of GW2 being a sandbox game in many respects has absolutely no basis in truth. The game is a themepark, a well built one, and a great game for alot of people. It is not a sandbox, nor was it designed to be.

You realize they have all of that don't you? And the fact that you can just go out exploring and do events instead of it being a structured quest hub game, is very reminiscent of a sandbox mmo. Play the game, you'll have fun.

With that said, people have already experienced ArenaNet´s '' promise into reality '' ideal in Guild Wars ( 1 ) and to be honest, I haven´t seen a company doing the MMO-job better than Anet.
Blizard may has the best support out there but they have promised things over and over and ... NOTHING.

I've been waiting for 5+yrs and everything I've seen so far in betas and stress tests confirms that I've been right to be so filled with anticipation and now excitement. So far, everything set out in the manifesto trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35BPhT-KI1E) has been adhered to, which is wonderful. Roll on 25th!
Like others have said, one of the things which pleasantly surprised me is that races (Charr, Asura) and classes (engineer, thief, guardian) which I did not expect to enjoy have drawn me in, so it's been hard to decide what to play at launch. Finally got it narrowed down to Norn ranger, Asura elementalist and Charr guardian ... and that's just for starters. Later there'll be a human mesmer and another Norn, this time a thief playing through the Sylvari area (that's one race I just couldn't take to).

I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it doesn't even matter.
Too bad they're releasing the game too early. This is my biggest complaint after seeing the changes between all 3 BWEs. The game isn't ready to be shipped, but they're doing it anyway. (Combat is still garbage, especially for melee classes, and still doesn't give the feedback GW1 gave.)
That and the cost was $60. GW2 is the first $60 game I ever purchased. I could tolerate spending that much.. until I saw third party sites (like GMG) selling the game for as low as $45. I've been fighting with NCSoft support for a month now and they've refused to do anything aside from a full refund/account ban.
Christ, seeing GW2 depresses me. I don't even think I'll enjoy the game on release.

And if you really feel that you should save $15 then just get a refund and buy a year or two from now when GW2 will probably lower price. And of course by that time all your complaints about being released too early will have been fixed.

Buying the game a year+ down the road voids the entire point of wanting to play GW2 on release. (Not to mention my alias' will be taken)
I've been playing Guild Wars for over 7 years; I've been waiting for GW2 for a very, very long time. Regardless of my desire to play GW2 ASAP, the beta weekends after #1 were not good experiences and showed clearly that the game was not ready to ship. Sure, it may be more polished than most games on launch, but it doesn't mean it's ready. I was expecting to play GW2 later in the year, but they insist on getting it out months earlier than anticipated for some reason. That reason is what upsets me.

I actually find the combat fun, I played as an Warrior, and then Elementalist so Not sure what you meant by Melee being broken. My warrior was doing great, same for my Elementalist range and melee combat was very smooth on my end.
I guess I am just not in the same league as you to see the flaws in Game Design and MMO polish.
But atleast many that was in BWE agreed that the game is ready and the features are working as intended.

They have to maintain the servers and they did say they will add more content/mechanics post-release such as dueling, guild housing etc.
I feel sorry for NCsoft support for having such customers like you. TBH, the game is pretty polished. Maybe there are still some bugs and glitches, but that will be solved in time post-release. There is no perfect game mate. I played guild wars (1) and there were lots of stuff to be fixed too, even during EotN which is a long time after release.
Somehow I have the feeling that you are just upset that GW2 doesn't release later this year because of some personal reason of yours (Not good enough computer/Traveling to somewhere with bad or no connection to the internet etc.)

I feel like I'm wasting my time responding to this post, but here we go.
I'm talking about PvE combat; melee classes have had an incredibly hard time in PvE, especially in BWE1 (to the point where it was absolutely pointless to do anything in melee range against tougher monsters/harder dungeons). Combat was improved in BWE2 but still hasn't gotten to the point where melee classes are as effective as ranged classes. The lack of proper sound effects and visual cues of attacks in a game that's focused so heavily on dodging was missing as well. There's been numerous threads on the beta forums about this, so I'm not going into more details. If you were a beta tester and actually cared about feedback (in PvE at any rate), you'd have seen them. Remember, GW2 is far more 'MMORPG' than GW, which was mainly a CORPG, so PvE matters a lot more than it did in the previous game.
$60 is a lot to me because I am unemployed and have limited finances to spend on luxury/entertainment. There's people in the world who aren't as fortunate as you are; acting like an ass to said people isn't a very wise thing to do.
They also never had a problem maintaining GW1's servers despite not overcharging their customers like many of the poorly received publishers (EA, Activison) do today. Oh and they're focusing even more heavily on the cash shop this time around, despite hefty price increase for even digital only copies. All my GW1+Expansion copies have been physical, and they came with extras, and they all cost less. (I re-bought the GotY edition of Prophecies, insane, right?)
And yes, my whole reason for being upset about the early release is because there's something in my life preventing me from playing, not because I want the game to be released with a well rounded and balanced combat system and with overall polish, optimization (engine; BWEs have run fairly terrible (1 being abysmal), and with disregard to multi-GPU and multi-monitor systems) and refinement instead of being sub-standard, complained about and eventually fixed in a few months. They've ignored very valid issues with the game engine; I can only hope they sort those out by release. My computer is probably better than yours, by the way.
I'll stay my tongue about my negative opinions on responses like yours. I hope you will learn to do the same in the future.

I am probably as poor as you are or even poorer but I do know that quality things have it's prices. Just as a comparison a person who played WoW for 6 years+ has paid about a thousand dollars on the game for subscription only, whereas you only pay 60$ once on GW2 (and you can play for 6 years too). In addition to that you mentioned the cash shop, as you probably know it's not pay to win, so no reason for you to be wasting money there if you deem so.
I do understand your concern for the game, but I think it is pretty polished. The last stress test went rather smoothly.
Lastly about the PvE thing..sorry I can't argue with you on that point since I have been playing WvW and sPvP exclusively with my thief.

During the New Year, West Virginian's can expect significant positive changes. As a Legislator in the 81st Legislature, I expect to see an agenda that focuses on education, jobs, and a better West Virginia.
Education. One word that many persons view from different perspectives. The education system in West Virginia is likely to see many changes. The recent educational audit has brought forth many recommendations that legislators should utilize when introducing and voting for legislation in the upcoming session. Personally, I would like to see an increase in teacher compensation with less emphasis on test scores.
As a Delegate from Southern West Virginia, I see many teachers crossing the border and going to Pike County, Kentucky in order to make a higher salary. In order to keep teachers in West Virginia, I encourage a pay raise and student loan repayment grant program for our teachers.
Jobs. Another word that stands for a lot. It is time for West Virginia to continue growing economically. We, as businessmen, legislators, and loyal citizens should focus on a collective effort of numerous strategies in order to bring more jobs to the Mountain State. Personally, I am excited for the coal-to-liquid plant that is being planned in Mingo County.
I further believe it is important that West Virginia continue mining coal while utilizing post-mine land. Post-mine land use is big in Southern West Virginia and it provides us with land to attract new jobs. Manufacturing plants such as the next Toyota, NGK, or even a Macy's Distribution Center would be well served on one of these sites.
A Better West Virginia. This starts with continued progress. Over the past few years, under the leadership of former-Governor Joe Manchin, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin, Senate President Jeff Kessler, Speaker of the House Rick Thompson, and House Finance Committee Chairman Harry Keith White we have seen progress being made in West Virginia. With continued effective leadership such as this we have seen lower taxes and more jobs in the Mountain State.
I look forward to the upcoming session and am encouraged by the challenges ahead of our great state.
Delegate Justin J. Marcum
House of Delegates - 20th District [Mingo and Logan Counties]

I guess my point was, "Why trust what John Hagee says about ET?" because he is very outspoken about that also.
that's Seth's site. He's a member here, has just taken some time off..I correspond with him from time to time of facebook
Maybe that was L.Ray Smith you were thinking of? His site is bibletruths.com - pretty close names.Seth's alive and kicking, living in California with his wife and little girl. He's somewhere around 30 years old I would guess..http://tentmaker.org/forum/apologetic-support/accusations-of-ur-beliefs-just-because-we-do-not-like-the-doctrine-of-hell/msg99515/#msg99515http://tentmaker.org/forum/profile/Seth/
I though "John Hagee" when I saw the thread title. Sad, that his hunger for the approval of the Jews has led him to deny Jesus, to become an apostate. You don't get to be a TV preacher without that approval. His ET position is almost beside the point.

Shearling lined replacement insole. Same style as found in the Primo Chill.

Merrell Unisex Shearling Replacement Insole
I bought these because my dog ate the insole of one shoe....I was going to replace just the one, but they felt brand new so I replaced both insoles!!! What a way to renew your shoes!!!!!
I ordered the Merrell fleece insoles to replace the worn-out stinky pair I'd had in my Merrell Chill shoes. They fit perfectly and my shoes feel soft and plush and good as new. I'm so pleased with my purchase!
I've been wearing my Merrell Primo Chills for more than 2 years - and love them. I literally was wearing out the insoles so being able to purchase these replacements give my old friends a new life.
I am extremely glad I found these insoles because I am not ready to replace the shoe yet, and now they feel almost brand new again! The color of the natural shearing didn't quite match the the inside of my shoe or the old insole I am replacing, but it dosn't make much difference since it's on the inside. Definitely worth the money.
I put them in my rubber boots and they keep my feet warm and dry. It is like having a warm cushion to walk on. The other great thing is the price, which is very reasonable.
Without these insoles, my Encore Chili clogs would be last year's wonderful shoes that aren't as comfortable anymore!
I have had my Merrell Encores for about two years and love them. The soft, fluffy insoles lost their fluffiness after a while so I was thrilled to find these replacements. They fit perfectly into my shoes and brought my old shoes back to life.
These new insoles brought new life to my two-year old Merrell clogs. I'm glad someone told me to replace them rather than spending the money on new shoes. Although they only come in whole sizes, mine fit fine in my shoes that are size 8 1/2. I spend lots of time in ice rinks with my sons and the new insoles keep my feet warm in the best shoes for standing on the cold floor.

The members of the Charleston Kennel Club recently donated almost 500 pounds dog food to the Food Bank of the Charleston Animal Society. This donation will make a difference in the lives of fellow neighbors who are struggling to keep their beloved pets.
The Charleston Kennel Club is an all-breed club dedicated to the advancement, welfare and sport of the pure-bred dog, and a member club of the American Kennel Club. The member club designation are clubs at the highest level of AKC accreditation and number about 500. The Charleston Kennel Club was established in 1935, making it the oldest kennel club in South Carolina.
Charleston Animal Society is South Carolina's most honored charity, whose mission has been the same for 139 years – preventing cruelty to animals. Every day the society combats cruelty by using innovative, scientifically-based strategies including a large-scale spay/neuter program, a free roaming cat initiative, educational outreach programs that teach our children to be humanitarians and a food bank for pets that helped 900 families last year. They also work with police, prosecutors and lawmakers to make sure animal cruelty laws are enforced and made stronger.
