There are some signs that may be pointing to the Rapture being August 4, 2012, instead of August 3, 2012. Tu B'Av (Aug 3) seems to be the day of the Rapture. But if nothing takes place on August 3, it could also be the following day (August 4) for the following reasons:
1. In the parable of the ten virgins, the virgins are expecting the Bridegroom to arrive on a certain day. It is getting late into the day and 5 of the virgins end up running out of oil while they wait. The cry does not go out until midnight that the Bridegroom is coming, so by the time He arrives, it's actually already the following day. This parable could be pointing to a one-day delay from the day that we are expecting our Bridegroom to arrive.
2. The 9th of Av had to be observed this year on Sunday, a day late, because the Jews are not allowed to observe the 9th of Av on a Sabbath. This could also be pointing to the 15th of Av being pushed back by a day.
3. Noah's Ark in the Netherlands was announced to the world as being opened on Sunday, July 29, 2012 (http://news.sky.com/story/966302/modern-day-noah-opens-doors-of-ark-creation). Seven days from this announcement would most likely point to this coming Saturday, August 4, or Sunday, August 5. The story of Noah is an illustration of the Rapture, how he and his family were saved from the judgment that destroyed the world. The Ark was opened 7 days before the judgment, just like the announcement to the world of this life-sized Ark being opened came 7 days before August 4-5, 2012.
4. The open display of homosexual behavior in San Diego and Oceanside at Chick-fil-A this Friday night seems to be a sign pointing to Lot and the destruction that came that night or the following morning, when he and his family just barely escaped with their lives, right after an open and public display of homosexual behavior. Lot escaping the destruction is an illustration of the Rapture. Since this event is taking place on the West Coast in the evening, most of the world will already be on the 4th of August, putting the Rapture possibly on August 4, instead of August 3, 2012.
5. This one is totally just a personal reason. The Lord led me to start a 21-day fast 19 days ago, before I knew anything about Tu B'Av. I felt led to start the fast on Saturday night, July 14. The fast will end in the evening of August 4, 2012. I have felt for some time after learning about Tu B'Av that most likely the next time I eat food again will be at the Wedding Supper of the Lamb. I was thinking probably the Rapture will take place on August 3 and the Wedding Supper will be the following day. But it could also be the same day as the Rapture. Either way, I have felt for some time now that the next time I eat food will be in Heaven with Jesus. The fact that this 21-day period that the Lord led me to fast ends on the evening of August 4 could indicate that this is the actual day for the Rapture.
6. I am not much into "crop circles", but this website says that 4 recent crop circles all point to August 4, 2012:

7. I have found only 2 videos pointing to August 3, 2012, as the date for a likely terrorist attack in London, but have found numerous videos and articles pointing to August 4. Added to Ola's post: http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2012/ola731-2.htm, it's certainly a possibility that August 4, 2012, will be the Rapture if nothing takes place on August 3, 2012.
8. Because the New Moon was not seen in Israel until July 21, 2012 (http://michaelrood.tv/blog/cat/new-moon-report), this could actually push back the date of Tu B'Av to Saturday or Sunday (August 4 or 5, 2012) instead of August 3, 2012.
Also, regarding the wheat and the chaff. It has been my opinion for many years that it is not just Christians who are taken in the Rapture.
Matthew 3:12 "His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Matthew 13:30 "Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"
It is my OPINION that both the weeds and wheat will be harvested together and then later separated, wherein the chaff will be burned and the wheat will be brought to Jesus as His Bride. Notice in Matthew 13 that the harvesters are not just told to gather the wheat, but rather both the wheat and the chaff together are harvested, and then separated.
I also do not believe that ALL Christians will be taken in the Firstfruits Rapture. In the parable of the 10 virgins, they all had oil (the Holy Spirit), meaning they were all Christians, they were all virgins to the Lord. But half of them ran out of oil, symbolizing that they lost their first love and were not living totally for Jesus when the Rapture happens.
This is what I believe is going to happen this Friday, Saturday, or possibly Sunday: millions of people will disappear from all over the planet. UFO's will show up soon after and explain that they took the people to another place for some reason or other. The Christians who have been left behind will be totally confused because they've been taught that all Christians will go in the Rapture. Their next door neighbor was taken, who may be an atheist or Muslim or New Ager or something other than a Christian, and they were left behind. Even their pastor may have been left behind. So, they will think that this could not have been the "Rapture". It may take time for the left-behind Christians to really comprehend that this was indeed the Rapture of the Church and they were indeed left behind (along with possibly their pastor or leaders in their church who may have also been left behind). I say this in hopes that someone left behind will read this and be able to understand that this was indeed the Rapture that took place and be able to be saved from the deception that is about to occur. The Lord told us that this deception would be so great, that it could even deceive the elect.
If you are reading this, and you have been left behind after the Rapture on August 3, 4, or 5, 2012, please go to my other links and study the information while the internet is still available to you and pass this information to as many people as you can. My guess is that you will have a few days at most to access the internet, possibly only a few hours and this information needs to get out to as many people as possible.
