All Three Stooges by Erica S. Perl
per item
Spoiler alert: This book is not about the Three Stooges. It's about Noah and Dash, two seventh graders who are best friends and comedy junkies. That is, they were best friends, until Dash's father died suddenly and Dash shut Noah out. Which Noah deserved, according to Noa, the girl who, annoyingly, shares both his name and his bar mitzvah day. Now Noah's confusion, frustration, and determination to get through to Dash are threatening to destroy more than just their friendship. But what choice does he have? As Noah sees it, sometimes you need to risk losing everything, even your sense of humor, to prove that gone doesn't have to mean "gone for good."

The Spring and Summer of 1825?
Nothing here about the weather, I'm afraid,
Instead, anonymous letters portending
Murder, mayhem and machine-breaking,
With arson and mill destruction
Thrown into the pot for good measure;
Silent shuttles, strikes, mute looms,
Bosses' men and strike-breakers
Ducked in the various brooks and waters
In acts of summary Christian justice;
Mass meetings on the hills and in the valleys,
On the commons and in the streets of Stroud,
The Riot Act read, with gallant hussars
Riding down would-be trade unionists,
("We accomplished this with…slash of the sword only")
The street-seller of "The True British Weavers"
Thrown into gaol without trial, or jury.
This was the spring and summer of 1825,
When thousands fought the market place,
In the hills and valleys of the Cotswolds;
This is our unmarked Radical Heritage,
But your sixth sense can secretly sense it:
Create theatres of memory in your mind,
Invoke Stroud's Spirit of Place,
Then invite spectators to their seats.

[Editor's Note: This article was previously published in CUInsight, and has been modified.]
Credit unions think of branding in terms of advertising, mailings, inserts, logos and social media. However, payments, and all the touch points associated with digital and plastic payments, are an equally important part of a credit union's brand.
Credit Union marketers are diligent in ensuring that the brand is consistent throughout all aspects of member contact. So, signage, logos, websites, mobile and online banking platforms are all inspected for consistency with the brand. Payments should also be included in this thought process.
Payments are more activity based, while other branding elements are more visual. So, from a branding perspective, payments can be far more memorable, both positively and negatively, because people are more likely to remember the experience in doing an activity.
Every step along the member's payments journey, as well as every touch point, must be considered part of the credit union's branding. When loading the credit union's card into Apple Pay, the text message to authenticate, the email to confirm enrollment, and every aspect of friction, or lack thereof, is part of a credit union's branding.
Credit Union marketers do take great efforts to ensure that their card art reflects the credit union's brand. But once the card is entered into the Uber or Lyft app, for example, that card art has been exchanged for 12 X's followed by 4 digits. This is when a focus on experience becomes even more important because the ultimate goal is to have members make their credit union-branded card the default card in these apps. Therefore, any rewards or incentives that will encourage continued use of the credit union-branded card should also be incorporated into the member experience.
The P2P experience is another branding opportunity. When a member wants to send money to their friend who is a customer of a 'big bank', is your credit union P2P compatible? Is it frictionless? Is it accessible from your CU mobile banking app like their friend's is? When it comes to branding, the member might not remember the placement of the logo, but he/she will remember that they had to write a check when all their friends had access to a digital P2P app backed by their bank.
Branding opportunities are not limited to digital payments. There are several elements to using plastic that equally reflect the importance of branding. A false positive decline is a major branding consideration, in fact, a very negative one; And, like other negative experiences, one that will be remembered long after the member forgets the colors of the branch walls or the logo placement on a mailer. When a member who was declined calls into the number on the back of the card, how that member is greeted, what questions are asked, and how the issue is resolved, is an equally, if not more, important element of branding, which should be the purview of marketing, even though these aspects of member interaction are usually left up to member care or operations.
Unfortunately, oftentimes, it is when something goes wrong, like a fraudulent payment transaction or a false decline, that a member most associates their experience with their credit union – that is branding. But the flipside is also true, when everything is working perfectly; making mobile payments with the CU-branded credit or debit card and getting a reward, and making P2P payments from the CU mobile banking app - that is also branding. Branding is at every member touchpoint, it is not just a visual element, it is an experience that is a part of every action and interaction.
Need some help in taking advantage of branding opportunities throughout the payments experience? Contact the experts at Trellance at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Lou is the AVP of Product Development & Thought Leadership at Trellance. In this role, he is responsible for managing the organization's product portfolio, as well as providing leadership on industry trends related to data analytics and payments.

Last Updated: February 29, 2016 at 12:09 pm
Anita Eldridge, a lifetime resident of Sparta who once served as a county commissioner, was honored Saturday on her "21st" birthday. (She was a leap year baby.) Friends and family gathered at Miss Marenda's Tea Room, in downtown Sparta, to say happy birthday to a woman who has remained active in her community for many years, serving on various committees. State Representative Kevin Dunlap presented Eldridge with a proclamation signed by Gov. Bill Haslam, as well as a Tennessee flag and a flag of the United States of America, both of which have flown over the state capitol.

January Jones Bares all in Versace Campaign
Madmen's January Jones kicked off all of her clothes for Versace's new spring/summer 2011 ad campaign, posing almost completely nude, covered in nothing but a well-positioned purse and other luxe accessories from the Italian label. "I am always on the lookout for the next Versace blonde…and in January I feel I have found a perfect Versace woman for the twenty-first century," said Donatella Versace in a release. "She is chic and elegant but deeply sensual too–it is a dramatic combination." The campaign, which was shot in London by Mario Testino.

A WTF Moment
While surfing on Refinery29 I came across this and had a WTF moment. While I do love anything shiny, I had to pause and reflect on this. Just released by art director Justin Gignac, Security!™ is an 18k-gold-plated sterling silver version of plastic security tags stores put on clothes to prevent theft. The piece, meant to be worn as a pin, stems from the NYC-based artist's idea of elevating mundane and overlooked items in our everyday lives. At $700 a pop…I think I'll stick to the mundane and overlooked. Or steal a security tag (giggle) and paint it gold. Hmmmm…
DADT Is Repealed
The Senate has voted to end the military's ban on openly gay troops, putting the final Congressional approval on an end to the disastrous Don't Ask, Don't Tell Policy. Since Congress passed the compromise bill 17 years ago, DADT has cost the nation an estimated $1.3 billion dollars and ended the careers of 13,000 service members who wanted to help their nation.
And finally, Saturday, in passing a standalone bill for repeal by a vote of 65-31 (roll call here), the Senate has ended Don't Ask, Don't Tell. (The Maddow Blog)

"How Much Gold Is in My Body" and Answers to 6 Other Wild and Crazy Questions about Gold/
Because we are one of the leading gold refineries in the world, we hear an awful lot of questions about that precious metal. We hear these questions at backyard cookouts. We hear them when people call us at 800-426-2344 to ask about their recyclable precious metals.
Most of the questions we hear are very smart, but we have also heard some very strange ones. In today's post, we are going to answer some of the oddest.
"How much gold is in my body and can I recycle it?"
According to the best estimates we have been able to find, about 0.00000005% of the average human body is comprised of gold. That means that if you weigh 200 pounds, your body contains less than one ten-thousandth of one pound of gold. So if you are thinking of recycling yourself, you aren't going to make much money. And contrary to some myths, gold does not become concentrated in your toenails, hair, or freckles. There just isn't that much of it inside you. The exception is that if your dental work includes gold fillings, gold bars, or gold wire, they are literally worth their weight in gold.
Sources: "Composition of the Human Body," Wikipedia, and other sources
"Is it true that Cleopatra ate gold?"
People probably ask this question because they remember the layers of gold leaf that were applied to the wooden coffins of some ancient Egyptian rulers. But there seems to be no evidence that ancient Egyptians royals actually ate gold.
What seems to be true, however, is that Diane de Poitiers (1499-1566), the mistress of King Henry II of France, poisoned herself by drinking a potion daily that contained gold, mercury, and other metals. She thought it would keep her young. That might have been true, but apparently her gold cocktail killed her when she was 66. Modern scientists have tested her hair and found that it contains 500 times normal levels of gold and mercury. So maybe she is the one human being who could have smelted herself.

"Didn't an Austrian artist paint a solid-gold painting that is worth millions of dollars?"
This rumor has been around for a long time. It is based on the appearance of a gold-encrusted portrait of a woman named Adele Bloch-Bauer that the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt painted in 1907. The painting is worth tons of money because of who the artist was, not because of its gold content. In fact, it only contains a gleaming surface made with very thin gold leaf. Incidentally, this painting is at the center of the plot of a movie that has just been released, "Woman in Gold."

"Is gold constantly falling to Earth from outer space?"
The answer is, no it isn't, so don't run outside and expect to catch any. Martians aren't pelting us with it either. But like some other myths about gold, this idea has a possible basis in fact. Some scientists believe that a lot of our planet's gold (as well as some of its platinum) arrived here during a period of strong meteoric bombardment that happened about 200 million years after Earth was formed. It would be nice to think that gold is always falling around us, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Source: "Did Earth's Gold Come from Outer Space?" by Elizabeth Svoboda, Discover, December 27, 2011
"Is a huge treasure of Nazi-held gold still waiting to be discovered?"
This legend doesn't seem to want to go away. And maybe it shouldn't, because there are credible reports that Nazis did hide large quantities of gold in lake Toplitz in Austria. Those suspicions are now being investigated.
Source: "Has Secret Nazi Treasure Been Hidden in this Beautiful Lake for 70 Years?" by Owen Bennett, The Express, March 28, 2014
"Isn't there a museum of alchemy somewhere in Europe?"
Yes, there is one. It is the Museum of Alchemists and Magicians of Old Prague, located in that city. It looks like a ton of fun.
Source: The museum's website, http://www.muzeumpovesti.cz/en
"Can dachshunds smell gold?" and "Can pigs smell gold?"
Yes, we have heard both those questions. Although it is true that various animals with keen noses have been use to find termites, drugs, truffles, prison escapees, bombs, rodents and more, there is no evidence that they can sniff out gold.
We are here to answer your questions . . .

Will they scream all the way? Will everyone glare at us disapprovingly? Will my nerves take it? These thoughts are perfectly natural and are shared by all parents, but here are some tips to help you prepare for most eventualities.
First of all, ground yourself in reality and accept that your children will be noisy, restless and harder work than normal whilst on the plane. Remembering your child-free days of a relaxing flight, sipping a G & T whilst starting your holiday read, is not helpful and will only lead to disappointment.
If you can be realistic about what travelling with children is actually like (or like me dread it and fear the worst), then you might end up being pleasantly surprised.
Also, don't forget that there will be other families on the flight all feeling the same way.
Prepare with military precision
As mums we have to be super-efficient and fully prepared, but when going on holiday we need to take it to a whole new level.
1) Timing of flights
If you do have some choice in flight times, think very carefully about when your children are at their best. I find that a morning flight is best for us, as my girls are least likely to be tired and grumpy. We have tried evening flights (mistakenly thinking they'd be so tired they'd fall asleep) and found them to be exhausting for all of us.
2) Allow extra time
Our most recent trip was in April this year and it was surprising just how long everything took at the airport. Even though we had already checked in and could fasttrack security (as we had kids), we still felt rushed, despite having arrived at the suggested two hours before check in time. All I wanted was to sit in the airport with a coffee and a pastry, but somehow we didn't have time. So, allow lots of extra time so that you can let the children look round the airport and find a café to sit and relax in.
3) Prep the kids
If your children are old enough, try to prepare them for what the aeroplane experience will be like. Practise sitting in your seat and fastening your seatbelt, listen to the pilot's announcements and show them pictures of what it is like inside a plane. Role playing will help to prepare them for the journey and should make it a fun, rather than a scary experience.
You could even go to the airport's visitor park to watch the planes taking off and landing – try this a few weeks before you go. Visitor parks are great days out (and
often have a café and a playground – bonus!), plus they'll get your children used to the sights and sounds of the airport.
4) Have a spare everything
To save on worry, have in your hand luggage an emergency set of clothes for the kids, plus a spare cuddly toy etc. This way, if/when there is a spillage or an accident it won't be such a drama. For you, I suggest layering so if/when they cover you with sticky hands, food or drink, you can just remove or add a layer to maintain an air of togetherness.
5) Get a Trunki
We have one Trunki that our girls share and it recently proved invaluable when we had to queue for an hour to drop off our bags. They both sat on it and it saved lots of lolling around and asking to be picked up. We also use it to pack all of their toys for the trip. The rule is that they can take as many toys as they can fit in it – and no more.
We all know that distraction is one of the best ways to prevent meltdowns and to keep the peace. And when flying with kids, this is your number one survival technique!
1) Food
Although plane food can be expensive (and not always very tasty), there's no denying the excitement of getting one of those trays with lots of little compartments and different foods. Book a meal for each of your children for the distraction factor, even if you don't think they'll eat it all.
If you are flying on a value airline then I'd still recommend buying a selection of food on the plane. Get your children involved by looking in the in-flight magazine to choose what they want and let them order their food and pay the money if they are old enough. We recently flew with Easyjet and were quite pleased with the quality of food we had and the fact that our girls ate it (porridge, muffins and bacon butties at breakfast).
As well as buying food on the plane, have a supply of snacks too. Think foods that take a while to eat, but aren't too messy, like raisins or mini cheddars. We also have emergency stashes of sweets (Starburst are a favourite as they take ages to chew), which saved the day with my three year old on a recent trip.
2) Magazines
I find the Cbeebies magazines to be a great source of entertainment – and distraction – for my kids. We let them go to the shop a couple of days before we travel to choose their own magazine – then they can open it on the plane. They always have a toy included, plus stickers, games and colouring.
3) Toys
Buying the kids a present, wrapping it up and hiding it in your bag is ideal as a 'last resort' distraction when travelling. They can then play with their new toy whilst on holiday too.
4) Books and games
Taking a child's favourite book – and perhaps a new book – snuggling them on your knee and reading to them is a calming and soothing activity that will help to comfort them on the journey.
5) Stickers and crayons
I have a supply of stickers, crayons and paper in my bag at all times – they are brilliant at calming the kids down and engaging them in a thoughtful activity. Make sure you've got some on the plane and perhaps set them a task such as "make Mummy a jungle picture" or "can you make a pattern".
6) Technology
As a last resort, when times are tough, I have an iPad and our mobile phones prepped with some films and favourite shows. The BBC iPlayer app is great as you can download a variety of short Cbeebies shows (Go Jetters anyone?) to watch on the go. We bought a set of headphones for each of the girls so they could choose their own shows to watch and have a device each. And, we were very thankful to have my husband's headphones too as one set broke on the plane, which could have been an almighty disaster.
Going on holiday with children is never going to be the same as before you had them, but, if you set your expectations from the beginning, plan your trip with precision and get your bag of distractions ready, travelling together can be a fun experience for you all.

Samsung DV300FRating:
Look & Feel
The DV300f has a sleek, seamlessly rounded and very compact design which is lightweight to hold and extremely easy to use and I was impressed at how well blended the front screen was within the main bodywork of the camera, making it almost impossible to see when not in use.
With dimensions measuring 95.2 x 56.5 x 18.3 and weighing a mere 120g the DV300f sits perfectly in the palm of your hand and slips effortlessly into your pocket.
It has a vivid 3″ LCD viewfinder on the rear as well as a concealed front viewfinder display for taking self-portraits.
Setting Up
Before you get started, you'll require a micro-SD card (not included) and you will need to charge the battery.
Setting up the social applications and adding the Wi-Fi key is all relatively straight forward and there is a manual to guide you through should you get stuck.
This smart little compact camera is great for general use and for capturing your diary of events. The 5x optical zoom gives you great close-ups and the 25mm wide-angle lens allows even more in the frame. With 16.1 megapixels and an f2.5 lens, you really do get high quality images even in low light.
Along with the standard back LCD screen, the camera's handy front screen is activated by simply pressing the 'Front LCD' button on the top of the camera.
If you are trying to capture some nice baby photos, then you'll love the preset animations on the front, which brilliantly grabs their attention when you need them to look right into the camera lens. Being a parent to two very young children, I have to admit that I absolutely love this feature!
The built in countdown self-timer is another great feature. It displays large numbers counting down from 10, making it perfect for group shots so they can all see when it's the right time to smile!
The Picture in Picture feature allows you to show two images at the same time and also add video footage. Plus, you can then upload it straight to YouTube or your favourite social network to share with your friends and family.
The SMART function is excellent at detecting the setting in which the picture is being taken. The scene detection facility identifies up to 16 different shooting conditions, instantly analyses key elements of your composition and then automatically adjusts to optimise settings for every individual situation.
The built wi-fi function lets you connect to a network and upload your photos even at the maximum resolution of 16 megapixels. You can connect wirelessly to any other device on the network, so it's just as easy to share photos with your home PC. The ability to upload to a cloud, or automatically back-up photos is an added bonus.
For the younger audience, there's some fun added features such as photo framing and on the spot special effects such as sepia, charcoal drawing and old movie effect.
More functional options include panoramic mode, creating wide-angle photos, which is easy to use and also provided very good results.
Navigating through the menu was very user friendly and even though it doesn't have a touch screen, the buttons effortlessly guide you through the several options and features without any confusion.
Smart Auto, chooses the most appropriate shooting settings for each condition. Using the Program mode allows you to take more control on setting up your shot and includes ISO settings from 80 to 3,200, compensation (+/-2.0EV in 1/3EV steps), and white balance settings. You can also manually control sharpness, contrast and saturation on three sliding scales.
Overall image quality was generally quite impressive, with colours being well reproduced and lots of details being picked up within the frame.
It's macro performance was also excellent. It very clearly picked out fine details in some flowers and textured fabric I photographed as well as creating a nice depth of field.
- Shot in Macro mode – click for larger image
I need to add here that I noticed having to wait frustratingly longer than I would like for Samsung's flash to sufficiently charge between shots, even when the camera was warmed up.
The DV300F shoots HD movies at 1,280×720 pixels at 30 frames per second, with options for 640×480 pixels at 15fps, for web use for example. As with the stills test, the results are impressive, with excellent picture quality and sound quality with only a small amount of wind noise evident during playback.

The DV300F is a good looking, feature packed compact digital camera. It's targeted mainly at a younger audience, thanks to the creative shooting modes, low price tag and the added front-facing screen with preset animations.
This pocket sized fun-filled gadget is the perfect companion for a general-purpose photographer with impressively decent quality images for your money.
I was impressed not only with the handling and responsiveness of this camera but also the WiFi features, which enable you to easily share your fantastically creative shots on the move. I found it very hard to find fault with this camera and would highly recommend it without hesitation.

What is Youth Ministry?
Youth Ministry is the response of the Christian Community to the needs of the young people and the sharing of the unique gifts of youth with the larger community. (Renewing the Vision; A framework for Catholic Youth Ministry 1997 by the USCCB)
The Goals of Youth Ministry are:
- EMPOWERMENT - To help young people live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today
- PARTICIPATION - To invite youth to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community
- GROWTH - To encourage the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person
At St. Benedict Parish we seek to achieve these goals in a variety of ways including service, community building and prayer
Service~ St. Benedict Youth ministry offers regular service opportunities for the young people of our parish. We serve because it is our positive response to our call to be disciples of Jesus. We serve in a variety of ways with the hope to create a more just world. Whether we serve in our community or throughout our world, through action or advocacy, we serve because we are followers of Christ.
Community Building~ As we build community we build confidence and empower young people to turn their faith into action. Community building aides in confidence when we find like -minded people who we can grow in faith with.
Prayer~ through experiences of prayer with our community of faith and individually, we grow in our spiritual relationship with God. "God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer." ~ Mother Teresa
Ms. Kim McMillan is the Director of Youth Ministry at St. Benedict Parish. She can be reached via email or 773-588-6484

I was sent the short sleeve lap t-shirt with the ikookie logo on it for review. The top is well made and super soft. It has a very small tag on it that is sewn in on both sides. It isn't one of those annoying large handing ones that drive kids crazy. It has a nice thickness to it, just perfect for summer months or under clothes in the winter.
If you are looking for baby items that are organic, ikookie is a great place to purchase some basic items. They have fun colors and designs with reasonable pricing. You can purchase bodysuits (onesies), t-shirts, yoga pants, shorts, diaper covers, sleepsuits (so precious!), hats, bath towels, blankets and even gift sets.

It's all about relationships and service!
In recent years, mega companies have bought up most of the regional and local medical supply companies. With a goal of becoming more profitable, they've consolidated their sales and service functions into large call centers staffed with mostly inexperienced representatives.
We started Guardian EMS Products because we believe that emergency medical personnel deserve a better buying experience. We believe every customer, no matter how large or small, deserves to work with a salesperson who knows the industry, vendors and products like the back of his or her hand! We've also made a commitment to stock our state of the art warehouse and distribution facilities with enough inventory to assure great prices and rapid delivery.
We look forward to getting to know you and your unique needs and to earning your business.

House Training
Make your home a safe environment for your new puppy. Here are some of our helpful tips and products:
Poochie bells: hang this bell at the main entrance that your puppy will use for potty training. Show your puppy how to ring the bell each time that you make a trip to their regulated bathroom space. This is a great way for your puppy to let you know that they need to go out! (amzn.to/2KoBtQl)
Stain and odour remover: when accidents happen, make sure you clean and de-odourize to discourage your puppy from using the same spot again. (amzn.to/2MixfM6)
Backyard containment: please make sure your pet has a safe and enclosed area to play off leash. Off leash play is essential for the proper development of a growing dog's muscles and joints. Add and rotate toys in your dog's play area or yard to keep them happy and stimulated.
Pet gates: a great idea for sectioning off the puppy-proofed areas of your home. This helps the potty and house training of your pet by allowing for consistent supervision so that good puppy behaviour can be reinforced.
Exercise Pen; our favourite exercise pen (and gates) are made by Richell (amzn.to/2LSyllx). They are heavier than most exercise pen and will keep your puppy safe, while still keeping your home stylish!
Waist Leash: for open concept homes, you may want to try using a waist leash to keep your puppy with you or to tether them in a chosen location to build independence. We love our multi-functional Smoochy Poochy waist leashes!

Local tech company modernizing the way football teams practice
It may come as a surprise that one of the most promising innovations to come out of Rochester in recent years has nothing to do with health care.
The company's called GoRout, and it produces wearable devices that allow football coaches to communicate with players in real-time. While the technology has not yet been approved for use in actual games, nearly 30 high school and college teams — including several in our area — have started using the gear during practice this season.
Best way to spend a September afternoon? Football practice. Great to check out GoRout tech @ Century this afternoon pic.twitter.com/abuZ7K4duO— Tim Walz (@RepTimWalz) September 21, 2015
One one of those schools is Century High School in Rochester. On Monday, U.S. Rep. Tim Walz, a former football coach at Mankato West, joined GoRout CEO and founder Mike Rohil at a Panthers practice to see the technology in action.
"Watching this technology created in Rochester and being used in our local communities is inspiring," said Walz. "Entrepreneurs who are working to create middle class jobs in the tech industry will help Rochester grow in the years to come and we need to ensure that the work we do in Washington encourages that kind of innovation."
GoRout started out a year ago in the Mayo Clinic Business Accelerator. The company was recently approved for a $74,950 loan from Rochester Area Economic Development, Inc.

My success is team oriented!
Years ago before I started my business I read A LOT of books on personal development and how to BE an entreprenuer....but one book that stands out in my mind and had the most significant impact was Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. A classic everyone should read. It was published back in the early 40's and is STILL in print in over 50 languages.
Running a business can be lonely. Our vision IS sometimes well, 'our' vision and like a conductor I try to orchestrate a vision so others will follow! But there are times that you 'just don't know'. So I have collected the finest minds that are sharper than mine on matters that just vex the hell out of me at times! The book I mentioned earlier, said a large part of success is surrounding yourself with people who know more than you or are better at some things your're not. Ford did it. Carnegie did it. Edison did it and Rockefeller did it and it worked out pretty well for them! I can say that my 'cabinet' has taught me well! And business has never been better and these special people deserve mentioning (the OZ's behind the curtain, so to speak!)..
- Don Prior,President/Owner NSF COMPUTER, Ann Arbor
- John Auschman, Director of Food/Beverage ,POLO FIELDS, Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti [Voted one of [the best brunches in Michigan. Extraordinary.]

Samsung Galaxy S7 vs LG G5: More Than Meets The Eye
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 look to be headed on a crash course at MWC 2016 and with that said the question is which Android smartphone will be more deserving of the title of best Android phone of 2016… so far.
Rumors have already taken off on a number of expected features but one that does stand out more than the rest is the IRIS scanner. Now before you think this is unnecessary technology do note that it is more accurate and easier to utilize than a fingerprint scanner – this includes setting it up as well.
At the moment both the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5 are rumored to include the iris scanner and if either one does jump on it we can expect that they will certainly help push this technology into the mainstream. Of course the Samsung Galaxy S7 will do this better given the sales numbers expected and the likelihood for it to trickle down to other variants like the Galaxy Note and Edge series.
The leaked patents suggest that if the Samsung Galaxy S7 gets it then it will likely be a hybrid version – one that looks at the veins in your eyes as well to speed up detection and potential unlock of the device. The technology behind this has been in development for fifteen years so you can expect it to work well when it is finally introduced in a mainstream device like the Galaxy S7.
As for the LG G5, this is expected to be more of your normal iris scanner, not that there is anything wrong with it. At this time it is being worked on to apparently increase unlock speed, so we can expect it to work just as well as the Samsung Galaxy S7 technology.
Will the inclusion of an iris scanner influence your decision when picking between the Samsung Galaxy S7 and LG G5? Sound off in the comments below.

We couldn't have asked for a better day to have a baby shower for our friend and fellow blogger,Tiffany Gaither (Tiffany's blog is Delightfully Chic)! My friends Julie Poole and Sara-Anne Wolgin-Caudle helped host the shower. The three of us were the perfect combination because Julie owns an adorable paper design shop called Juliepatoolies, I am a former caterer, and Sara-Anne is a photographer. The soiree was held at my home and we celebrated Baby Gaither in style. Tiffany and Scott, her husband, decided not to find out the gender of the baby so we choose yellow and white as the colors for the flower arrangement to keep things neutral. The flowers were arranged in a vintage baby carriage that belongs to Sara-Anne. Randy McManus Designs did the flower arrangement with yellow and white roses, hydrangeas and lillies...it was stunning!

Julie printed the invitation in gold, again going with the neutral theme! It's so much easier to know the gender of the baby, but I'll reveal that at the end!
Tiffany with her beautiful Mom!
Champagne on ice for a toast to Baby Gaither!
The breathtaking flowers!
These cookies were made by a local bakery called Sweet Stuff by Meredith. Meredith's cookies are adorable as well as delicious!
Lemon squares went perfectly with the color scheme and they are always a favorite!
My daughter Sarah, adorable as usual!
Tiffany received so many wonderful gifts, everyone agreed that Baby Gaither would be a boy, except for me!
The happy mommy to be!
These beautiful pictures were all taken by photographer Sara-Anne Wolgin Caudle (pictured below). Sara-Anne specializes in family and baby photography.
Tiffany and Scott welcomed beautiful little Fiona Grace into the world on March 25th at 2:10 pm. She was 19 inches long and 7 lbs 11 oz.
I knew she was a girl!
Congratulations Tiffany and Scott!


text: CARSON, Calif. Andrew Luck Jersey . -- The Los Angeles Galaxy say defender Omar Gonzalez will be sidelined a week or two after injuring his left knee. Gonzalez was injured last Saturday during a game against Colorado and left at halftime. Galaxy spokesman Brendan Hannan said Friday that Gonzalez "tweaked" the knee and that Los Angeles coach Bruce Arena believes the defender will report on time to the U.S. national teams pre-World Cup training camp, which starts Wednesday in Stanford, Calif. Gonzalez had surgery in January 2012 to repair a torn ligament in the knee and returned that July 4. The 25-year-old was a Major League Soccer All-Star last year. Jacoby Brissett Jersey . The visitors missed a host of good chances to win the game, and were left to rue substitute Ivo Ilicevics strike against the crossbar in the 86th minute, when he only had the goalkeeper to beat. Denzelle Good Jersey . Louis Cardinals have agreed to a one-year contract. http://www.nflcoltsgearsshop.com/Vontae-Davis.html?cat=887 . Luis Enrique signed the deal with club president Josep Bartomeu two days after it was announced by the club. That was two days after coach Gerardo Martino stepped down when Barcelona finished its first season without a major trophy in six years. SEATTLE -- Needing wins in Seattle to keep their slim playoff hopes alive, the Kansas City Royals offence went into a slump. Hisashi Iwakuma pitched eight scoreless innings in Seattles 6-0 win against Kansas City on Wednesday, eliminating the Royals from the playoff hunt. It was the second straight night the Mariners shut out Kansas City as the teams ahead of the Royals in the wild-card race -- Tampa Bay, Cleveland and Texas -- won. The Royals havent scored since the 12th inning of Mondays 6-5 win. "Back-to-back shutouts, youre not going to win any games scoring zero runs," Alex Gordon said. "Its kind of a tough way to go out." Mariners catcher Mike Zunino homered twice, Michael Saunders also homered and Kyle Seager hit a two-run double for Seattle, which has won three of four. Zunino and Saunders hit back-to-back homers with two outs in the eighth inning, the 14th time this season Mariners have hit consecutive home runs. The Royals entered Wednesday four games behind Cleveland for the second wild-card berth with five games to play and needed a victory. Iwakuma made sure they didnt get one. "We put ourselves in the situation to maybe find a way to sneak in, but we just came up a little short," Gordon said. "Its unfortunate, but weve got four more games and were going to try to finish the season strong." Iwakuma (14-6) finished his season without allowing a run in three straight starts, a streak of 23 scoreless innings. Against the Royals, he gave up four hits and never allowed more than one base runner in an inning. He didnt walk anyone until the eighth. He had nine strikeouts, the 13th time in 33 starts he struck out at least seven. "He handcuffed us, we couldnt do anything," Royals manager Ned Yost said. Iwakumas 2.66 ERA is third-best in the American League, and he finishes the season 4-0 in his final eight starts. "It sort of caps off the year he had," Zunino said. "He just keeps getting stronger. Every start is getting better and better." Ervin Santana (9-10) matched Iwakuma and kept the Mariners scoreless for the first four innings before Seattle broke through. Santana went six innings, allowing four runs and five hits with two strikeouts and four walks. Zunino broke the scoreless tie leading off the fifth inning, taking Santanas first pitch deep to left field. The blast sparked more scoring for the Mariners. With one out, Brad Miller doubled and Nick Franklin walked. Le Raven Clark Jersey. . With Seager at the plate, Santanas pickoff attempt to second ended up in centre field, putting runners on second and third. Seager then laced a double down the right field line to give Seattle a 3-0 lead. The Mariners added a run in the seventh. Dustin Ackley led off the inning with a double, and Yost walked out to the mound to signal Santanas night was done. "I just told him, You know Erv, you had a great year. Real proud of you. That was it," Yost said. Miller pushed a bunt up the first base line and reliever Will Smiths throw to first baseman Eric Hosmer was wide, allowing Ackley to score. The Royals best offensive chance came in the fifth, when Mike Moustakas doubled with one out and took off running when Jarrod Dyson hit a line drive which looked as if it might reach the outfield. Instead, Miller at shortstop timed his jump and snared the ball, then jogged to second to double off Moustakas and end the inning. The Royals, who were six games below .500 at the All-Star break, head to Chicago to finish up the season with a four-game series against the White Sox. Even without a shot at the playoffs, Kansas City (83-75) is assured of its first winning season in a decade, and one more win will give them their best record since they finished 84-78 in 1993. "Weve had a real good second half," Billy Butler said. "We have one more series and we get to build on this for next year. We had a good run, and the guys in here played hard." Yost said hell have a chance to give some young players an opportunity over the final four games, but doesnt expect any letdown despite no longer having a shot at the post-season. "I think weve made a lot of progress as an organization," Yost said. "It was a giant step forward for us, and it was a step we definitely needed to take this year." NOTES: Seattle manager Eric Wedge said before the game he feels like hes "hanging out there" with little clarity regarding his future with the organization. Wedges contract -- originally a three-year deal -- expires after the season and Wedge indicated hes been given no word about whether hell return for a fourth year. ... Seattle has hit 183 home runs this year, tied with Toronto for second-fewest in the major leagues. ... The last time Kansas City was shut out in back-to-back games was May 22-23, 2009, at St. Louis.
