Yesterday I tasted my very first Japanese persimmon.
This colorful fruit rules! I have never seen such large persimmons. You have to taste one of nature's best desserts.
The tree bows to the ripened persimmons.
The ants can have this persimmon for themselves.
Thanks to our vet for sharing his bounty of yummy fruit! Dr. John you rock!
Dr. John and his staff have a neat office pet that allows me a photo or two.
Lucky little lizard!
Enjoy your day!

After I had my daughter almost 6 years ago, now, I can remember the doctor remarking how small my placenta was. She was born with IUGR...4 lbs, 8 oz at 38 weeks. The pathology report said I had a small placenta, but no clots. I also hate to say ...but before I was found out I was pg, and I was not TTC, it was a total oops, I was a smoker...but as soon as I saw the positive pg test, I have not had a cigarette..so now it has been almost 7 years and I have not smoked one. I quit cold turkey.
Could the smoking of caused the small placenta and caused the pre-e/HELLP...or did the pre-e/HELLP cause the small placenta.
This seems like an endless search for answers.

Not traditionally found in beauty products, Caviar Extract is a nutritionally supercharged ingredient that instantly adds health and radiance to the hair.
Alterna first utilized the benefits of Caviar Extract when the brand pioneered the anti-aging hair care category over 10 years ago. The company set out to create a line of products that fought the signs of aging, after noticing how the hair became dry, dull, and lost its elasticity over time. Alterna's Caviar Anti-Aging collection was soon created, featuring Caviar Extract as its secret ingredient. Caviar Extract is one of the world's richest sources of omega 3 fatty acids and offers a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and proteins that nourish the hair, as well as reduce the signs of aging. Its cellular format is similar to that of human skin, helping speed up the production of collagen and cell regeneration. Caviar Extract increases the elasticity of the hair and improves the health of the scalp, instantly creating healthier, younger looking hair.
To restore shine, vitality, and elasticity to the hair, start a Caviar Anti-Aging regimen and wash and condition daily with Caviar Anti-Aging Shampoo and Conditioner with Seasilk, which comes in a moisturizing and volumizing formula. Like a primer for the hair, Alterna's Caviar Anti-Aging Styling Tonic is the perfect first step to every hair care regimen. This spray adds a layer of protection to the hair, which includes sun protection (UVA & UVB,) color fade protection, thermal protection, and many healthy ingredients (like Caviar Extract) that penetrate the hair follicle and keep hair healthy all day long. For extra dry, damaged hair, try Alterna's Caviar Anti-Aging Hair Masque, leaving it on for at least 20 minutes (longer for more damaged hair.) This treatment masque infuses the hair with Caviar Extract and leaves damaged hair looking healthy, gorgeous, hydrated, and extremely shiny. For daily upkeep, use Alterna's Caviar Anti Aging Rapid Repair Spray- this is the perfect product to keep in your purse and use throughout the day. Like a multi-vitamin for the hair, this product contains loads of healthy vitamins, minerals, essential oils, and nutrients and instantly "wakes up" the hair.
Alterna's Caviar Anti-Aging collection contains pure Caviar Extract from the sturgeon fish in France. The culinary delicacy is also a delicacy for your hair!

The Counseling Center on Court Street, in Portsmouth, is now open and offering clients a central location where they can find caseworkers, transportation services, and educational programs for drug, alcohol and mental health services.
"We've needed to do this for a long time. It's just that the opportunity to get a facility like this doesn't come across all the time," said Executive Director Andy Albrecht.
Formerly the home of the South Central Ohio Educational Services Center (ESC) since 1994, the ESC announced last fall its plan to leave the building to move into the vacated Glenwood High School building in New Boston. At the same time, the Counseling Center in Portsmouth announced they would be the new residents of the Court Street building.
At the time of that announcement last fall, Ed Hughes, president of The Counseling Center, explained the center's intentions to consolidate its out-patient services.
"We currently are providing out-patient services where our clients, our patients, are coming from a variety of locations around a multi-county area. Then they go to a variety of locations here in Portsmouth. This will give us an opportunity to centralize our clinical staff. All of those clients will come to one location, and we'll be able to put our administration of out-patient services right here in the same building," Hughes said.
Previously, the primary out-patient facility was located on 11th Street, and the administrative office was located on Findlay. Hughes explained last fall that The Counseling Center would move its administrative office to the building on Court Street and the facility on 11th Street will transition to a full-time Compass Community Health Clinic.
After months of planning and work in the Court Street building, Albrecht said the facility opened for clients about three weeks ago. Inside the Court Street building, the center offers educational programs, caseworkers, health care, transportation services, and more, together under one roof.
"We've been spread out all over Portsmouth for years. I don't know how many actual sites we had, but putting everything in to this building has taken a long time," Albrecht said.
In addition to its 11th Street center services, The Counseling Center also combined some of the services from Marsh House and Second Chance. There are about 54 staff members working in the building, with more than 100 clients.
"Basically the clinical staff of The Counseling Center all have consolidated in this building. We still have some of our locations around town. Literally just think of this like a school. It's like a recovery school. We still have our locations throughout the community and our residents live there in the housing part of the program, and they come here during the day just like someone would come to school," Albrecht said.
At the center, clients have a full day of treatment for mental health, wellness, or drug and alcohol programs.
"Some people arrive here pretty early, like 7:30 in the morning, and they stay with us until dinner when they return back to their houses. They get traditional drug and alcohol treatment, which is like education groups, and they get therapy groups like group counseling. There's mental health services and they get individual counseling sessions," Albrecht said.
He said a lot of the programs offered at the Court Street location aren't new, but having the ability to combine those services under one roof helps make the programs more efficient and more convenient for clients.
"If they need to see their individual counselor, well, it's right down the hall. If they need to see their case manager, it's right over here. Just like a school. If they need to go talk to this person, they're here; or if they need to see a nurse, the nurse is right down the hall," Albrecht said.
But the bigger building means there are some new services now available. Albrecht said they hope to expand their workforce development program. There's even a new computer lab where clients can search for jobs, take part in online training, and work on building their resume.

When Cane Bay made the jump up to Class AAAA after two years each at classifications below, people wondered just how the Cobras would fit into the state's largest division.
As it turned out, they appeared to be ready quickly. The Cobras came right out of the corner swinging and stymied perennial state power Summerville in a 10-3 victory that served notice they were ready.
"With us moving up, I think we snuck up on some people," Cane Bay coach Russell Zehr said. "… We played a really good game (against Summerville) and they made some key mistakes that helped us. It was probably the best game we played all year."
The Cobras went on to win six football games in 2012 and made the playoffs.
A new season has arrived and the Cobras travel to Flowertown on Thursday as Summerville eyes revenge.
On offense, the Cobras will rely heavily on quarterback Devin Kilgore and running back Ramonte Frasier. They are the top two players coming back on that side of the ball. Kilgore has good mobility and a strong arm and figures to makes some stellar plays.
"I think he's one of the top quarterbacks in the Lowcountry," Zehr said. "… His mechanics have gotten better. His strength has gotten better. His mind has gotten better. The biggest thing for him is just getting comfortable back there with the new offense."
The Cobras return leading tackler Matt Rudy to anchor the defense.
Summerville has the home-turf advantage and seems to have fewer concerns heading into this season than it did last year. One of its top players said the Wave is prepared for the new campaign on the gridiron.
"I think we are pretty strong," said Summerville senior Darin Smalls, a South Carolina commitment. "As a team we look way better now than we did at the start of last season so hopefully that will make a difference."
Smalls is one of 10 starters returning to Summerville, which has a total of 17 lettermen back from last year.
The game will be televised locally on myTVCharleston. The Cobras were 1-1 in televised games last fall, rallying to defeat Colleton County 26-21 on myTVCharleston and losing to Goose Creek 55-0 on ESPN3.
After Summerville, the Cobras host Fort Dorchester on Sept. 6 and travel to Berkeley on Sept. 13.

The games that retained me the longest simply dont exist anymore.
CoX was an on again off again love for me. I had a solid 3 years in 8 of paid played time
WoW.... until TBC i was a diehard. once my guild was destroyed by the removal of the 40 man raid system and i went casual. I lost my love in TBC and dropped for a long while. I tried again in WotLK but... it was just so easy. I didnt need to rely on my guild for anything, i barely had to keep an eye open to raid. Everything just felt so rehashed. So I quit.
CoX and Vanilla WoW don't exist for me. =(
WAR almost kept me. I could deal with class imba. that was fine.... it was each server having a 'winner' and a loser' with no 3rd faction to balance.... it went downhill so fast i could barely blink. I even switched factions on my server to try and help (my server had a very fierce but friendly rivalry) being able to zap my former guildmates was amusing (while telling them i was doing so in vent =P ) but .... the overwhelming crush every single day with no honest means of winning just lost me.
i apparently want a 3 faction superhero grinder where only 5% see endgame =P guess im SoL >_<

I can't be the only one who realizes that MMOs were *NEVER* virtual worlds, they have always been level-driven treadmills, the whole point of logging on is to get XP and get gear and get weapons to kill things. That's the point and purpose of an MMO, it always has been and always will be. There is a point in every game when you've essentially won, you hit end-game, there is no more real progression, it's just a different type of treadmill. I don't consider any game where you have a goal, in this case progression, to be a virtual world.
To me, a virtual world is like one of the old-time text-based social MU*s. There was no game-controlled combat. There were no levels. There was no gear, no weapons, no killing. There was no point to being there. The point was whatever you made of it. If you wanted to get into a fight with someone, you both just typed out what you did and you came to a mutual decision who won. It was 100% virtual world, 100% roleplaying because you could do absolutely anything you wanted to do. People stayed in those games for years and years on end. My longest was 16 years with *ONE SINGLE CHARACTER*. You lived a virtual life because that's all there was to do!
Those days are gone and aren't coming back and certainly, MMOs were never meant to take their place.
Played: UO, EQ, WoW, DDO, SWG, AO, CoH, EvE, TR, AoC, GW, GA, Aion, Allods, lots more

Part of the answer is in the question, regardless of the state of today's games. Even if your perfect game released, the ultimate end-stop game tailored just for your needs and desires, you would get tired of it within a shorter time-span than before. Why? Because you already know the in's and out's of these kinds of games. You've seen it all. Even a game with insane innovation would have to follow certian recipes and base-rules that all MMO's share. These "new innovative features" are quickly played through, leaving you with the same kind of base game that you've always played. Even if your favorite game of all time re-launched with up-to-date graphics and top-notch features, you'd play through it quicker and get burned out faster.
It doesn't matter what kind of activity/hobby we talk about. After some time it's not the same anymore and you can never go back. It can never be "your first true MMO experience" all over again. Your best bet is to hit your head hard enough to produce a complete memory wipe, then start playing MMO's (the trick is to survive and not damage anything important).
Take any experience in your life as an example, then evaluate if doing it a second time would be/was just as cool as the first time you did it.
This is the exact reason why i feel sorry for game developers these days. They have to live up to unreal expectations based on millions of individuals personal experiences of when they lost their virginity. It's an impossible task.
tldr; You're getting old.

Nah, I voice my opinion all the time and continue to play the old games.
It also isn't a refusal of change either. It is not accepting change that isn't for the better. UI improvements have been made. Game mechanics have often been dumber down and destroyed into a LCD boring machine. There is no excitement or challenge in games anymore because we now teach newer generations that you shouldn't have to fail and let's not keep score so you don't feel bad.
Now when you die in a game, nothing really happens. You just continue on your way. In fact I've used deaths as a form of quick travel in several newer MMOs (sad part is when trying to die it still takes a while). Why explore when you can have a game that marks everything on the map and tells you the path to travel?
The true problem that most won't accept is that there are several different MMO groups. However, companies treat the MMO community as just one group with one set of preferences. So the same game targetting the same group keeps getting made over and over and over. No one has stopped to realize there are other groups as well. A proper, and most successful market, would have big name games for each type of group. We are missing that so there is a lot of division. Those who like it and say "you just don't like change" and those who see that no one is making games for them.
So yes, there are those of us who still play the old games and support what we like (why do you think all of those old games are still running? If no one was supporting them, they wouldn't be here). But there are a group of people who won't play the old ones, don't like the new ones, and demand they make new ones like the old ones without speaking with their wallets.

I play it as such. I don't want a virtual world. There is already a real one. I want entertainment.

A lot of the fun of playing those early MMOs or even those early video games was that they were a brand new thing and we were constantly exposed to things we hadn't seen or done before.
Hell, I remember parties where people were lined-up 20 deep to play pong. This had nothing to do with the quality of pong nor our youth, it was simply the novelty of interacting with the TV.
MMOs today are all infinitely more sophisticated, entertaining and better programmed than those of 15 years ago. What they lack is the "Wow!" factor of something that is unique and brand new. Changes are now incrementakl and refinements on the things we have all seen 100 times before.
MMOs now are mainstream entertainment and if you're going to play them its because you enjoy this now mature genre. if you expect a new title to feel as fresh and exciting as the first ones you played back when the genre was being invented, you're just setting yourself up for dissapointment.

I don't think that is correct at all.
There are several genres of games that I like. One example if FPS. There are still occasional new FPS games that I find very enjoying and can play them for hours on end over and over again. I started the FPS genre with Doom and played all the classics when they were new, like Quake, Half-Life, Counter Strike, Battlefield, etc. I don't hate new ones because they aren't the first ones I played. I like new ones that do it right and make a quality game. Yet at the same time the ones that I think of as being the best over the years (which is very similar to that list of classics I mentioned) are the ones who did go down their own path and make the game unique.
Yet when it comes to the MMO genre, a genre I like even more than the FPS genre which I love, the past several years have been a massive disappointment. Again this has nothing to do with the games not being the first ones I played. I started with The Realm and continued on through UO, AC, EQ, DAoC, EQ2, AO, WoW etc. The FPS genre keeps breaking sales records each year, the MMO market does not.
If the whole reasoning was that you only like the first ones you played, I wouldn't have enjoyed so many different MMOs over the span of many years. That argument falls apart instantly. I enjoyed the realm and UO and AC, DAoC, AO, and even WoW for a couple of months (I never found EQ to be my taste)..
The reason I enjoyed so many MMOs over the years is that they approach things in their own way, made things unique to them. However for the past 6 years or so they've done nothing but try to clone what already exists as the "main" model, the WoW model. The games feel boring in minutes. They offer nothing knew. They don't have a fresh voice, or interesting stories. The classes aren't fun. It is just the same exact game as you played before, and before, and before. That is a boring terrible situation.
And it isn't just a few gamers. It is rare for an MMO released in the past few years to get their investment back. That is because the majority see through the boring same game as the last and quit the game's instantly. Within the first couple months new MMOs have a tiny fraction of the players they did at launch. That isn't good, that isn't a sign of quality.
In the end the reason is simply. Companies aren't putting out good products.
It isn't the first time in gaming history this happened. It happened with Atari games and destroyed the system along with gamers views of game companies for a while. It happens in the movies when an action flick set in Europe gets big money and so then 10 more studios all crank out copy cat action flicks in Europe. Audiences get bored, sales go down, companies lose money.
Eventually it should get better for two reasons. 1) It won't look like an easy money genre anymore so fewer companies will be putting out games and 2) those who keep putting them out will learn they need to change things up.

Ultima Online, EQ1, Star Wars Galaxies, and Lineage 2 were all good sandbox / hybrid games that focuses on virutal worlds that either no longer exist in the way they once did, or are no longer operational.
Most of these games changed to adapt to the competition that emerged with mainstream / pop MMOs...primarily WOW and its gear centric linear progression model.

Although I'm 23, I too am finding it harder and harder to get excited about future video game releases. I've pretty much moved into the realm of table top games and card games again to ease the pain, and I've given up on video games.

I feel your pain. I still have my notebook of hand made maps from years of EQ before ingame maps were available. *sighs*

I still have the grid map from Might & Magic (yes, the first one). Mapping is trivial, with little challenge and basically a chore. That is not why i play a game.
Maybe MMO developers have come to realize that it is impossible to please the "old school vets"...so why try. Instead, their focus is on obtaining NEW players and keeping their current happy players happy. These new and current players aren't looking for a an MMO made in the good old days. They are lokking for and accustomed to the modern MMO. Thus, the development dollars go into these games at the expense of creating a game with old-school features that people on these forum claim they crave.

Not to mention, even though shepard's pie maybe my favorite meal, I'm not going to eat it every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Also just because you have a favorite meal does not mean you stop trying new things. You may not like most of the new things you try but you don't give up.

op come back to ac. i did and am loving every minute of it.
also when you subscribe to ac you get to play ac2 in beta. that is right, they brought back ac2, right now it is in a beta stage so it is not as stable as one would like, but it is playable and its wrapped up into your ac1 sub. ac to me is still the best game around currently.

There are many, many games from the early 80s I still remember fondly: Chris Crawford's Eastern Front, Dan Bunten's Mule, the original Civilization, Ultima, etc.... they were awesome because they were fresh, new and different... but so was the first wheel and using vegetation to wipe your butt.

They don't understand, or refuse to understand, that old game developers made games the same way then that they do now: to make money. However, the world has changed and what makes money today isn't the same as what made money then.
People either need to move on and keep up with reality or just go find something else to do. MMOs will never, and should never, go back to the "good old days".

text: I have a question as to how hard it is to build one of these. is there alot of machining to do on the RH side plate? I know the rivet holes need to be drilled and I know that I need a S/A trigger and sear, but what else is required? and really how hard is it to do? I only have a drill press and riveting tools and basic home brew knowledge, no mill can it be done like this or would I really need more tools to accomplish this? the kits aren't badly priced and the side plates aren't too bad either. rivet kits are cheap, and the semi trigger and sear isn't too bad really I guess. anyone have any experience with these? I have 6 ak's and 2 fn fals all but the saiga ak were built by me, have 2 sks's also I figure it's time to step up to belt fed just for fun

Pope Francis auctioning off his Harley
Proceeds from pontiff's hog to support Roman hostel, soup kitchen
We all knew Pope Francis was cool. But did you know he has a Harley-Davidson motorcycle?
Well, he does. And now the unconventional pontiff is auctioning off his hog to support organizations that help the homeless, according to The Telegraph.
Francis was given the motorcycle in June when 35,000 Harley-Davidson enthusiasts roared into Rome to celebrate the 110th birthday of the motorcycle brand. Many of them packed into St Peter's Square for a papal blessing.
Money raised from the auction will go toward a Roman hostel and soup kitchen.
Pope Francis has become well-known for his work with the poor and his distaste for "flashy" vehicles, opting for a Fiat instead of the "Popemobile" during his visit to Brazil and riding around Vatican City in regular rides like Fords and Volkswagens, according to Rome Reports.

I gave these as a gift and it was a pleasure to give them. The recipient seemed pleased. I have no feedback on their wear and tear quality, but their initial look and feel is very nice. The weight of the cup with saucer seemed good and the handle was easy to grip. I think it will be well-balanced with the hot liquid in it.

Comments about Cups and Saucers, Set of 2:
I received the tea posy set as a Christmas gift but it only came with one cup. Since I have two little girls in love with all things tea party, and "fancy" I knew I would have to order more cups. These fit the bill perfectly. The saucers are a nice touch as well. They look so dainty but trust me they are tough too, standing up to numerous clinking toasts lol! The only thing I didn't like was the size. They were smaller than the cup I got with the pot so this required lots of refills. Not the end of the world though, we got over it. Lovely little cups for bonding with lovely little girls!
Comments about Cups and Saucers, Set of 2:
The teacups are pretty but for the money are too fragile. I expect they will not last long, especially in the dishwasher. They match the teapot and warmer, thogugh, so they make a nice set.

EAST BEND - In a make-up double-header, East Wilkes cruised to a sweep of Forbush Thursday night in East Bend.
The Lady Cardinals hung on for a wild 36-34 victory, while the boys coasted to a 78-65 triumph to complete the clean sweep.
In the girls game, after East scored the first five points, the Lady Falcons reeled off 15-straight to grab a 15-5 lead early in the second quarter.
Forbush breezed to a 22-11 lead at the break after a Paris Trivette put-back at the buzzer.
In the third, East battled back and used a 13-2 burst to tie the game at 24-24 with 2:40 left in the period.
The teams traded hoops down the stretch in a back-and-forth fourth quarter.
After two Trivette free throws tied the game at 33-33, East answered. Ashley Hayes sank the front-end of a one-and-one but missed the second. Adrian Pardue grabbed the offensive rebound and laid it back up for a three-point lay to give the Cardinals a 36-33 lead with 5.5 seconds left.
With one second left, Brittany Moose intentionally missed a free throw for a chance at a put-back. But East grabbed the rebound and ran out the clock to preserve the thrilling 36-34 victory.
ShaNisha powered the Cardinals with 17 points on the night, while Erin Royal added 10 second-half points.
In the boys game, Forbush opened strong, grabbing a 15-10 advantage after one and lead 20-16 late in the second.
But East battled back and took a 21-20 lead on a McKinley Johnson corner three and never looked back.
The Cardinals took a 32-29 edge into the locker room and began to pull away in the third. After back-to-back treys by Dillon Gray and a bucket by Jathan Sales, East grabbed a 54-39 lead at the end of three.
The Cards cruised in the fourth, running away with the 78-65 victory.
Wallis paced East with 25 points on the night, while Johnson added 20 points, including four trifectas. Sales tacked on 11 points on the night with Jared Bryan adding seven.

iMovie vs Avid Studio: iPad video editing app shootout
Apple and Avid have been battling it out on the big screen for years, but now they've brought the video editing battle to the iPad -- and the winner may not be who you think.
Avid Studio for iPad launched this week in the App Store, instantly becoming the first real competitor to Apple's iMovie video editing app. What makes this so interesting is that Avid was king of digital video editing in Hollywood for a long time, and then Apple came out with the far more affordable Final Cut Pro/ Final Cut Studio, and enticed a few big name directors to give their new software a try.
So is Avid getting a little payback here by bringing the video editing battle back to Apple's home turf? Most definitely, and as good as iMovie is -- some of the best mobile software we've seen to date -- Avid may be even better.
Both iMove and Avid Studio can do the basics that you would expect from any video editor. You can insert videos, photos, and music, trim clips, add titles, and export to YouTube. Unfortunately for iMovie, this is where the similarities end.
Audio management
In iMovie, the only thing you can do with music is insert it as the background of your movie - your entire movie. It's impossible to take just a clip of the music to place where you wish - you're stuck with playing the whole song. In Avid Studio, you can trim your music clips and insert them anywhere in your movie. You can also layer up to 3 audio clips at a time.
Inserting photos and videos as picture-in-picture
One of the cool features Avid Studio provides is the ability to insert photos or video over the main movie in the timeline. Meaning, if you want to have a photo or video play in the middle of a movie clip, you can do so while still having the audio and elapsed time from the main movie playing in the background. This is one the features I most like about Avid Studio. The only thing you can do in iMovie is split up the clip and put a photo or movie clip in the middle. Avid's way -- which Apple does support on the desktop version of iMovie -- is more useful.
Video management
I was surprised when I learned that iMovie did not allow me to access videos that I imported onto my iPad with iTunes. The only videos accessible with iMovie are the ones in your camera roll or albums. What a huge disappointment. Avid provides just such access.
Titles and montages
Both iMovie and Avid Studio allow you to insert titles for you movie, but iMovie requires that you do it with one of their themes. There is not an option to insert a black slide with text like Avid Studio. This means that all text inserted in iMovie must be overlaid with part of your movie.
Avid Studio also comes preinstalled with fun montages to add to your videos. These are made up of anywhere between 1 and 4 photos and may be static images or mini video clips.
Avid Studio may be iMovie's newest competitor for video editing on the iPad, but it's not a fair competition. Avid Studio is the clear winner. iMovie doesn't offer any significant features that Avid does not, but Avid can do much more than iMovie. Since they both cost $4.99, it's almost a no-brainer. Right now, the only thing iMovie has going for it over Avid Studio is that iMovie is a universal app and also works on the iPhone.
With iPad 3 on the horizon, I hope Apple has a more feature-rich iMovie 2.0 up its sleeves to help show it off. Either way, I can't wait to try video editing on a 9.7-inch Retina display.

iMovie vs Avid Studio: iPad video editing app shootout
This is a fantastic comparison of these two apps, and Leanna's conclusions match with my personal experiences of making videos (so far) with iMovie.
One question: Can you place one video over another, the same way that you can do "picture-in-picture?" And example: you have one video showing a talking head with narrative, which you want to leave talking...but you want to superimpose a different video feed for a few moments. Can this be done?
The restriction of no movies on iMovie is frustrating, and doesn't make much sense...currently you have to convert a movie and import it into your Photo Roll to use it in iMovie for iPad. Most people don't look in their photo roll for their movies. So for that feature alone, Avid makes more sense.
Thanks again for the great comparison.
Yes! You can do picture-in-picture with two videos! I'll update the post to say that :)
I agree,Avid is the winner by far. The only thing that iMovie does that avid doesn't is save your videos in 1080p. Avid only has the option of 720p. Hopefully an update to the avid program will allow the option of 1080p.
Great comparison!
I wish iOS would just support AVCHD so I wouldn't have to convert the video files before getting them in to an app like iMovie or Avid Studio to edit them. It would make video editing from sources like a DSLR or dedicated video camera a lot easier.
AFAICT there's no way to record a audio commentary track with Avid. Also not universal, more expensive (after the one month special offer) and no 1080p. But overall I think Avid wins. Both show great promise and I can see why some people say that it's just three more years at the most until most people can do everything they need with a tablet, and do it well.
You can run Avid on the original iPad, but it crashes a lot and probably isn't worth the hassle.
I addressed where you can export your videos to with each app and the end of the video.
Otterbox Reflex
You can import iMovie iOS projects to the desktop version. I have done it and it works great.
Having a killer video-editing app running on the iPad is surely a win-win for both Avid and Apple.
Even if Avid succeeds in porting it to Android (similar to Adobe Lightroom coming out on OS X first to compete with Aperture), the iPad holds such a commanding share of the 10" tablet market that they would still prioritize the iPad version.
Buying this ASAP !!!!!!
I wish you can use it on iPhone !!!!!!
Hi - as an iPad 1 owner I'm v interested in knowing when the issues will be fixed as I bought Avid as soon as it came out but it really isn't usable at the moment... Thanks
Joe Houghton
Hey Tmorgan,
Why did I they restrict the export option to 720p? Is it limited by the API? Or is it just their decision. Some say the API restricts export to 720p, but iMovie and 1st Video both export to 1080p. So it's a little confusing as to whether is restricted by apple or not.
Hi there! I'm a pro editor, and just got an iPad to see what is possible for editing on the tablet. I will certainly be giving the AVID app a try. In the upcoming version would you consider adding another video track? I like that you're already doing a number of multiple streams of video with your montage effects, but I'd love a second track of video with adjustable transparency. I'd really value a second track where I can import graphics with transparency built in already. That way I can bring in my own logos, watermark, lower thirds, etc. I can see a lot of pro vloggers really finding that crucial. Looking forward to exploring your app!
But is there a cheap version of Avid tools for OSX? Editing on an iPad seems like a chore compared to the faster speed of my Mac Pro.
That explains why I wasted 30 minutes trying to find the OSX version of something Avid.
This review was great though and answered my basic questions.
Thanks. Buying now.
Does Avid Studio for iPad support green screen effects? (It's easy to do in the desktop version of iMovie but it's missing from the iOS version of iMovie.) I realize that GOOD green screen work is hard to pull off - but even bad green screen can be a great effect when working with young students... It would be wonderful if we could do green screen while staying entirely within the iOS ecosystem. Thanks.
I, too, am looking for simple green screen capabilities on the iPad. Any suggestions?
I know there is an app called video effects free and the icon has 4 pictures on it in different colours, there is a green screen effect on there for free!
I just downloaded the app avid for my ipad 3 and I'm still trying to figure it out . I'm currently doing stop animation with my 12 year old and his Legos ,green screen would be awesome , does avid support green screen ? And if not can you recommend a good app ? Also I would like to be able to add some effects ( lazer blasts,explosions,ect ) to his already created projects that need something more.any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is a good article, but next time, maybe you should be a bit more thorough! Avid is actually better than iMovie & I'm a "die-hard" Apple-lover! The thing is, you left out the fact that iMovie only works with iPad 2! Since the "OG" iPad has no camera, iMovie is not compatible with its software functions. So, overall you're right, but you left out a crucial point that would make it clear that Avid's approach at the moment is well thought out & better!
Did u find your answer ?
u can use an app called time lapse to speed it up but not on iMovie app, no. you can on the computer though!
You already know thus considerably in relation to this subject, produced me in my view consider it from a lot of varied angles. Its like women and men are not involved unless it's one thing to accomplish with Lady gaga! Your personal stuffs outstanding. All the time care for it up!
imovie has no audio layering but there is a simple workaround to place audio tracks at a desired point in the timeline.
Insert an audio track as long or longer than the movie, it will be placed at the start of the movie
Select it and reduce its volume to zero,
go to the end of the selected track, and shorten it to the desired starting point of the next audio track. You've in effect placed an audio slug.
Select your next audio track/song and it will begin at the point where the 'slug' ends.
I loved the video, thanks for making this, by watching your steps I learned a few things about
both apps.
I have a 16gb Wifi iPad2, and I bought iMovie and Avid. I like them both.
For the prices, 4.99 its not going to break the bank to buy both. Then whatever you need to do, boom you got it covered. Competition is nice.

Chris Brown shared this on Instagram on Monday, with the caption, "Painting the way I feel."(Photo: Chris Brown, Instagram)
(USA Today) - Frank Ocean wants Chris Brown prosecuted over that Sunday night brawl in a West Los Angeles parking lot.
Brown is serving five years probation for assaulting his on-and-off girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 and risks having his probation revoked should charges be filed.
Reuters reports that no charges have been filed yet, but Ocean "is desirous of prosecution in this incident," says L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.
In the scuffle on Sunday, sheriff's deputies responded to a call about a fight involving six men. The deputies cited witnesses as saying that Brown, 23, punched Ocean, 25, during the altercation. An investigation is underway.
Ocean, 25, said on Twitter on Sunday night that he "got jumped by Chris and a couple guys." He said this resulted in a cut finger.
Brown has yet to comment. But he apparently is feeling crucified by the reports. On Monday, he posted a photo on Instagram of Jesus on the cross with the caption, "Painting the way I feel today."
TMZ says neither Brown nor Ocean did any actual fighting, according to surveillance video. Their posses did all the punching.
Brown and Ocean are both nominated for best urban contemporary album at the Grammys, which take place on Feb. 10 in L.A.

Google Music Trends
I mentioned last month about an new feature that shows the song you're listening to as a status in Google Talk.
Now that Google Talk 126.96.36.199 is available to public, Google thought it's a good idea to use the songs listened by GTalk users for a new service: Google Music Trends. Every week, you'll see the most popular 20 songs by genre and by country. Currently, only US is an option in the country list.
The service is integrated with Google's music search, so if you click on the artist name you'll find the latest albums and other related information.
The new service is opt-in, so you need to enable it in Google Talk. Go to Settings / Audio and check "Share music listening history with Google Music Trends".
Another interesting side effect is that all the songs played will be included in the Search History, so you can see what you listened last week or how many times you listened to U2. Of course, to record that information, you need to use Google Talk and show the current music track in the status.
A similar ranking can be seen on last.fm, the site that uses plug-ins for music players to send information about the listened songs. The site also shows artist charts, top tracks for an artist and much more. But remember that popularity isn't a measure of value.
