Grizzlies Everywhere in Downtown Memphis

I was rooting hard against the Grizzlies last Saturday. But to no avail. Packed in a club-level suite with the White Station Middle School softball team (their shortstop and leadoff batter is my favorite player), I watched Fresno erase a five-run Redbirds lead with six runs in the sixth inning, spurred by a pair of RBIs from Fresno Grizzlies first baseman Brett Pill. (Looking for an early season baseball stat to share with friends? Through Saturday’s game, Pill had driven in 47 runs in 32 games for Fresno. Can’t be long before he’s wearing a San Francisco Giants jersey.) Oddly enough, by game’s end, there seemed to be as many fans at AutoZone Park with “Grizzlies” on their shirt as “Redbirds.”

That Fresno rally happened merely minutes after another bunch of Grizzlies won a game you may have heard about, four blocks away from the ballpark at Third and Union.Here's a complete list of carparkmanagement for the beginning oil painter. In Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series with Oklahoma City, the Grizzlies (Memphis variety) held Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant to merely 25 points to take a two-games-to-one lead. The few adults in that suite at AutoZone Park were staring at the TV dangling from the ceiling as Marc Gasol buried a pair of clutch, tie-breaking free throws in the game’s final minute to send more than 18,000 fans at FedExForum home happy. Or send them to AutoZone Park happy.

Saturday was one of those nights that remind Memphians just how far the sports scene has come since the turn of the century. As recently as 1997, the best a local sports fan could do in this town come May would be a Double-A baseball game at Tim McCarver Stadium,Laser engravers and porcelaintiles systems and supplies to start your own lasering cutting engraving marking etching business. unless some upstart circus league like the XFL was opening gates at the Liberty Bowl. Now? You can start a Saturday outing watching one of four NBA playoff series unfold at a world-class arena on Beale Street, then stroll 10 minutes north to catch a few at-bats from the top hitting prospect in baseball. (Redbirds outfielder Oscar Taveras may have had his mind on hoops Saturday, as he had one hit in five at bats with three strikeouts.) The literal overflow of an NBA audience at a baseball stadium was as inspiring as the David Freese highlights shown on AutoZone Park’s video board as part of the club’s “Two Outs-Two Strikes-No Problem” promotion.

All the color and explosive volume of the display seemed especially fitting for a spring night in downtown Memphis. I found myself wondering if these kids — all born after the Redbirds arrived in 1998 — had any idea how brilliant the show actually was.

Sony’s experiences as a handset manufacturer have been full of ups and downs. There were times when I wondered if the company would ever get it right again. But on the rollercoaster that seems to be its smartphone life, Sony is on the up. The Xperia Z, with its 5in screen and grunge/water resistant credentials was a real winner for me. And Sony appears to have done it again with the Xperia SP. A smaller handset with a 4.6in screen, the Xperia SP is less expensive than the Xperia Z by ￡100 and might just be the more popular of the two in the longer term because of that.

The design and build are fantastic. The Xperia SP takes some cues from the Xperia Z most notably the round on/off button that sits half way down the right edge and the long, thin volume rocker that’s just above it. But here there’s no water- and dust-resistant design, so the top-mounted headset slot and the micro-USB slot on the upper left edge are not covered.

It is now a characteristic of Sony Xperia handsets that the touch buttons for Home, Recent Apps and Back functions are part of the screen. This does mean they consume a few pixels of display area, but they rotate when you swivel the phone in your hands so orient appropriately, and they aren’t visible when the phone is turned off. They’re also used pretty intelligently, so that, for example, if you’re watching video in widescreen mode they disappear so that the video fills the entire 1,280 x 720-pixel screen area.

The build is generally solid, with a thick frame of aluminium all around the edges that gives the phone a rigidity that easily resisted my attempts to bend or bow the chassis with my hands. If you are looking for perfection then the Xperia SP is a bit fat at 9.98mm and a bit heavy at 155g, but neither of these are outside the realms of what is acceptable. The backplate is rather flimsy, and that does often seem to be the way these days. Your micro SIM and microSD cards sit under the backplate, and both can be hotswapped. There’s also a second microphone here, which is used to assist with noise cancellation during calls.

There’s a side button for using the cameras. The main camera shoots at up to 8-megapixels and although you can press the side button half-way for focusing, there’s also touch focus. Sony’s 'Superior auto' settings mode has a go at making scene settings for you, but if you have it switched on the maximum shot resolution available is 7-megapixels. You have to switch to normal mode to get the full 8-megapixels at your disposal.An handsfreeaccess is a network of devices used to wirelessly locate objects or people inside a building.
