© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Rory email@example.com Football experts throughout the Southern Crescent know all about Riverdale senior wide receiver Hakeem Smith. Now, the whispers about his skills have spread beyond the region and even state lines. Recently, the stud receiver was selected to the Atlanta Falcons' All-Tournament team, where he showcased his talents in the Falcons' 7-on-7 Passing Tournament in the Crescent City of New Orleans at the Saints practice facility. This was a follow up to his performance with Atlanta's passing clinic in Flowery Branch, where only the elite players at the camp were invited to New Orleans to participate in the national tournament, which featured some of the country's best high school athletes. "We enjoyed ourselves," said Smith. "It was great competing against some of the best to get to see where we were at. We learned about off-the-field activities and how to present ourselves with positive character." While in New Orleans, Smith in his teammates gave a valiant effort, however, they fell short to the eventual champions, the Seattle Seahawks, to finish in fourth place at 6-4 in this national competition. Although this experience was extremely beneficial from an athletic point, football wasn't the only thing occupying his mind in New Orleans. Smith and his players had a chance to really visit the city to view the post-Katrina New Orleans, where he saw first-hand the tragic landscape of this once proud area, which now looks like an abandoned war site. "It was sad," said Smith. "They gave us a tour around the ninth ward. They showed us where the levees broke, all the damage and where things were destroyed. We were standing on land where people's houses used to be and there was nothing there but grass." However, now that he's back in town, it's all about the business of winning football games at Riverdale High School. The Raiders open camp this summer under a new coach in Nick Davis, who comes to the school after coaching at Shiloh. Last season, Riverdale went 5-5 and 2-4 in 4A-AAAA. However, with realignment, Smith and the Raiders are looking to improve their position in Region 4B-AAAA with teams like Creekside, Newnan and Chapel Hill and Clayton County rival Lovejoy. "I'm trying to make All-Region and do big things this year. We're learning new plays and everything is going well," he said. Riverdale opens the 2008 season Aug. 30 versus North Clayton at Tara Stadium.

WIll be finishing up my first full 5-day week of bike commuting - 18 miles (flat) out and 18 miles back.
Takes me an hour each way, and that's hammering most of the way at 22-24mph whenever I'm moving. The inevitable lights and stop signs pretty much kill your average speed.
I'm doing it with a BanjoBros standard size backpack, which holds as much as a large grocery bag. I thought it would be too bulky but it's great. I loaded more and more into it until yesterday I had a pretty hefty bag and it still was no problem. I actually think it gives less wind resistance than dual panniers on a rack, just from my experience.
Fatigue definitely wasn't ever a problem, but I come from a triathlon and marathon background so 2 hrs a day of bike commuting, even at speed, is not difficult compared to running every day for about that much.
Keys to being happy at work - shower BEFORE getting on the bike, use clean cycling clothes, and have some cool-off time before changing into work clothes. I'm drenched in sweat by time I arrive at work, but I'm good to go with minimal fuss after I'm cooled off.
I still haven't had to deal with darkness yet, but I'll be getting a MS for that soon. Already running a Mars3.0 on back, which seems plenty bright.

Note: I just wanted to say that I fall behind on responding to messages really easily. It may take up to a couple weeks for me to reply.
Yes, I have face pics, but I'm selective about sending them.
I am non-monogamous and do have relationships of various types and intensities already in my life. Monogamy is 95% off the table for me; if it's 100% necessary for you, then we're not compatible for dating. Compromise is possible, but if we have to start in a place where I have to do all the compromising, that creates a whole other set of issues. Feel free to message me for potential friendship.
I am looking for new people in my life, but it's not my life's focus. I have a great deal of love, commitment and affection in my chosen family; I'm not filling a void, and I'm not in a hurry. I don't do the online chat thing much if at all, so if I'm interested, I'm much more likely to try to find a time to meet you for coffee or a drink.
OkCupid keeps matching me with people I already know, so I do feel like it's system must work.
Note: I am interested in casual sex, but I took it off my list of "looking for" because too many people are clearly just writing to everyone who has that listed.
Just because I am interested in casual sex does not mean I am indiscriminate. I still want to know something about you. Being interested in casual sex is not enough of a common interest to get me interested in you. I have to actually like you enough to have sex with you, so say something interesting.
Being interested in casual sex also does not mean I am *not* interested in anything else.

Being December, the garden was closed but still lovely to look at from the walkout sliding doors. The garden apartment was cozy, spacious and perfect for our needs. We wanted a safe, clean place to stay, while visiting Toronto without paying downtown prices. For 2 people, I…

To those more knowledgeable than I,
I currently have a Racing Beat 465CFM Carburator and Intake on my streetported 12A Mazda RX2 (RX7 motor with Electronic Ignition). I am having an extreme studder right off of idle, at about 1500 - 2500 RPM. Obviously, in any gear, this is at the RPM range where any type of normal cruising speed makes life pretty miserable. I noticed that there is no power valve in this carburator, and that there is a power valve cap. Could this be the culprit to my problem, or does anyone think it may be something else? If those of you that have knowledge about this type of subject could supply me some advice, I would truly appreciate it. In doing research on the subject, most responses lead to the power valve cap being applied for racing conditions, and I am simply wanting a street cruiser that still has the ability to take down a few of those arrogants that know nothing about these nostalgic Mazda sleepers!!!!
If any think that it is a power valve issue, can you advise me what a typical streetported 12A needs for a power valve, as there are many different sizes available.
Thanks so much for the help!

Virginia Huggins
March 1, 1919 - July 22, 2011
Virginia Lucille Huggins, 92, passed away on July 22, 2011, at the Washington
Odd Fellows West Care Center in Walla Walla, where she had resided for the last
three years. Her smile, her many trips up and down the hallways in her wheelchair, and her constant
desire for neatness will be remembered by those who lovingly cared for her.
Virginia was born March 1, 1919, in Salineville, Ohio, to Tom and Celia Todd McPherson. She grew up
on a farm, attended a country grade school and graduated from David Anderson High School in Lisbon,
Ohio. On June 15, 1940, she married Leland Huggins in
Lisbon, Ohio. In the summer of 1953, the family traveled
to Walla Walla to visit friends. They liked the Northwest so well that in 1954 the family moved from
Ohio to Walla Walla. Virginia will be most remembered by her wonderful smile, being a loving and caring
wife to her husband, Lee, of 58 years, a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
Virginia enjoyed traveling, especially to Hawaii, the Oregon coast and to Ohio to visit family and friends.
She was a member of the Amazing Grace Church of the Nazarene, where she had been active in the
missionary society, taught Sunday School and numerous other jobs.
Survivors include a son, Lowell Huggins of Walla Walla; a daughter, Sherill (George) Beail of Santee,
Calif.; two grandchildren, Linda (Eric) of San Diego and Kevin (Robyn) of Roanoke, Va.; two great-grandchildren,
Caroline and Joshua, of San Diego; sister-in-law, Janice (Dick) Schrader of Ashville, Ohio.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Leland; and two brothers, Howard McPherson and Kyle
Viewing will be from 2-8 p.m., Wednesday, July 27, 2011, at Herring Groseclose Funeral Home, 315 W.
Alder. The funeral will be at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 28, 2011, at the Herring Groseclose Funeral Home
with the Rev. Bob Sporleder officiating. Burial will follow in the Garden of the Last Supper at Blue Mountain
Memorial Gardens on Myra Road. Memorial contributions may be made to the Walla Walla Community
Hospice through the funeral home.

Man Accused of Offering Company Secrets to Foreign Government
An Akamai Technologies Inc. AKAM 0.38 % employee was arrested and charged Wednesday with allegedly providing confidential business information over an 18-month period to a person he believed to be an agent of a foreign government.
Elliot Doxer, 42 years old, was charged in a complaint with one count of wire fraud, according to the Justice Department. The complaint alleges that on June 22, 2006, Mr. Doxer, of Brookline, Mass., sent an email to a foreign country's consulate in Boston stating that he was willing to provide any information that he had access to that might help the country.
It is alleged that in later communications, Mr. Doxer said his chief desire "was to help our homeland and our war against our enemies." He also allegedly asked for $3,000 in light of the risks he was taking.
The unnamed foreign government cooperated with the U.S. in the investigation. A Justice Department spokeswoman wasn't immediately available to comment.
The complaint alleges that in September 2007, a U.S. federal agent posing undercover as an agent of the foreign country spoke to Mr. Doxer and established a "dead drop" where the agent and Mr. Doxer could exchange written communications. The complaint further alleges that from September 2007 through March 2009, Mr. Doxer visited the "dead drop" at least 62 times to leave confidential business information, retrieve communications or check for new communications.
The complaint alleges that among the confidential business items Mr. Doxer provided the undercover agent were an extensive list of Akamai's customers; some contracts between Akamai and various customers revealing contact, services, pricing, and termination date information; and a comprehensive list of Akamai's employees that revealed their positions and full contact information.
According to the complaint, Mr. Doxer also broadly described Akamai's physical and computer security systems and stated that he could travel to the foreign country and could support special and sensitive operations in his local area if needed.
The complaint doesn't allege that any representative of any foreign government sought or obtained sensitive information in this case.
According to a LinkedIn profile in Mr. Doxer's name, he serves as a senior collections analyst at Akamai, an Internet-infrastructure company.
Akamai spokesman Jeff Young confirmed Mr. Doxer's employment at Akamai and arrest. Mr. Young added the company has been fully cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigations "over a time" regarding the matter and plans to continue cooperating with the bureau going forward.
"There is no evidence that he disclosed any of the information referenced in the complaint to anyone outside law enforcement," said Mr. Young.
If convicted, Mr. Doxer faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a three-year term of supervised release, a $250,000 fine or twice the gain or loss, whichever is highest, and restitution.

Pamfiloff brings us into a world of studly supernatural beings and one spitfire of a heroine at its center. Smart, snarky storytelling and an inventive plot will keep readers turning the pages. Throw in a host of amusing, distinctive characters, and Pamfiloff's latest is hilarious, sexy and just plain fun.
All vampire Niccolo DiConti wants is to be free of his crazy shrew of a vampire queen so he appeals to the goddess Cimil to help him. The solution: His true mate needs to find him, agree to become a vampire and then bond with him. Cimil then puts him in a deep sleep. Three hundred years later, in a Mexican jungle, biologist Helena Strauss hears Niccolo's voice call to her. Following it, she ends up at his trapped slumbering body. Upon freeing him, the sparks fly, yet the challenge begins as Niccolo tries to seduce his human mate into becoming his forever. (FOREVER, Nov., 384 pp., $6.00)

In 1897, 83 acres of land, including the Mansion House were purchased for the sum of £29,000 and the Lord Provost, Sir David Richmond, performed the opening ceremony on the occasion of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.
- The lands of Tollcross Park are recorded as far back as 1290 when Roger Corbett, a local baron, lived in the area. In 1580 a 'Gabriel Corbart' was granted land in Towcorse.
- Towcorse was originally an area of countryside separating the village of Tollcross from Shettleston.
- In 1843, James Dunlop commissioned by the Architect, David Bryce, to design a new mansion house in the Jacobean style for the estate. The new 'A' listed Scottish baronial house with crow stepped gables, corbelled turrets and pointed roofs was set on the summit of the estate and approached by a drive off Tollcross Road.
- James Dunlop was actively involved in landscaping the surroundings to the Mansion House, particularly in the design of the sweeping Lime Tree Avenue leading to the house and the introduction of exotic tree species into the Glen.
- In 1900 a further acre of land was purchased to save a group of trees on the Western boundary. Later still, waiting rooms were added to the West Lodge for the convenience of the hundreds of daily visitors to the park.
- Over the years, the Mansion House Kitchen Garden (now known as the Courtyard and Children's Farm) was adapted to provide replacement plant material for the park.
- In 1905, a Children's Museum was opened in the Mansion House as a branch of the Kelvingrove Museum and unfortunately closed due to the dereliction of the building in 1973.
- At the beginning of the century the glasshouses were presented to the Corporation. The timber and steel 'cruciform' structure, now known as the Winter Gardens were used to house the local floral displays grown in the associated greenhouses.
- The Bandstand was erected in 1906 and was originally located just to the West of the Winter Gardens, several years later it was replaced by a new brick building on Shettleston Hill. In 1971 this building was burnt down. It cost sixpence to get in to see the many excellent amateur acts and military bands which performed there.
Friends of Tollcross Park
The Friends of Tollcross Park was established 1996 so that local people could influence and contribute to the future development of the park and have since been working closely with Glasgow City Council, the local community and partnership agencies, to protect, conserve the parks history and heritage and assist the Council in developing the future vision for the park. The group's aims are to promote a greater awareness of the historic parkland by organising and supporting events, applying for project funding, carrying out and supporting park surveys and have established links with the local Housing, Community groups, Colleges, Schools and Local Businesses.

Does my LO really have a dairy sensitivity?
Comments (6)
Both of mine are dairy and soy intolerant. There is a huge overlap between the two (66% of babies intolerant to dairy are also intolerant to soy). My LO reacts more to soy than dairy actually! If your doctor wasn't aware of this I would really consider switching pediatricians. Our pedi doesn't know much about allergies but at least knew this! That would be hard to cut (soy and dairy) if you are a vegetarian b/c you won't have many protein sources left. :(
I agree with pp... at least half of all dairy intolerant babies also have trouble with soy because their proteins are very similar. My LO would break out into an all-over body rash whenever I ate anything with soy in it... even if it was baked in (like muffins made with vegetable oil).
I would try eliminating soy if you can. You'll have to be creative with your diet if you do not eat meat. Maybe see a nutritionist? Can you eat nuts and seeds? Try adding olive oil to foods. Do you like quinoa?

Food for thought: if you aren't dead by 2050, you and your entire family will be within a few years from starvation. Now that is a cruel gift to leave for your offspring. ;)
That was some funny stuff right there.

Do you think Star Trek needed a reboot?

Re: Do you think Star Trek needed a reboot?
I'm gonna say no for extremely selfish reasons. I like Star Trek perfectly the way it was. My whole life has been all about Star Trek and now I could give a shit about the "NuTrek" that has been coming out. I am not at all looking forward to the new movie and it pisses me off to no end that JJ Abrams is doing Star Trek now even though he was never a fan before. I know that in order to get more fans a reboot was necessary, but to be honest, I don't care about new fans. I want my Star Trek to be the way it always was. I don't want or care for this "NuTrek", it means nothing to me.

Istanbul Hagia Sofia Excursion Reviews
Hagia Sofia architecture is breath taking.
Top interesting monument of unique importance to visit
Hagia Sophia is a former Greek Orthodox patriarchal basilica, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul. It was raining when we visited here, but our guide let us wait till the rain slowed, and then we went inside to look at the history in this building, design is something else. Hagia Sophia is famous for the light that reflects everywhere in the interior of the nave, giving the dome the appearance of hovering above this. This effect is achieved by inserting forty windows around the base of the original structure. The Loge of the Empress is located in the centre of the upper enclosure, or gallery, of the Hagia Sophia. From there the empress and the court ladies would watch the proceedings down below. A round, green stone marks the spot where the throne of the empress stood.
The Marble Door is located in the southern upper enclosure, or gallery. It was used by the participants in synods, they entered and left the meeting chamber through this .
Interesting to see how East meets West. Architecture, Fresco's etc.were amazing
The visit of the Church (what was lft of it..) was really great, but sad to see what became of it, but we did like the tour very much.
This is a must-see in Istanbul but not something I would return to.
Beautiful architecture = long walk but worth the hike to see the interior that has rememnants of islam and christianity in 1 room. Be a little careful with bags in main square too many ppl around. excursion was very well organized
This was an amazing place. Our guide did a great job of describing the history and giving us time on our own.
Just FABULOUS!! Our tour guide took us there at the end of day so we were able to really admire and view the beautiful architecture and decor.
Dilek our guide was extremely friendly, knowledgable and organised. She dealt with the blind member of our tour group and his guide dog very patiently.
Disappointing because the interior was covered in scaffolding
Beautiful. Facts were interesting.
Amazing 1500 years old.
Onto Hagia Sophia monastery which was also nice, but not as nice as Blue Mosque.

What do you all think about using a bit of the donations towards a chiropractor visit for Kenzie? I'd have to okay it with BO and its not something I could normally pay for...or that she WOULD pay for (she believes chiros are for people, and money shouldn't be wasted like that on animals. In her words, if she can live with a crick in her back, a horse can live with a crick in its 'whatever' too. XD) and I'm having a sneaking suspicion that Miss Kenzie's hips are bothering her. She isn't lame by any means, but she does walk very 'short' in the back and always feels really tight back there to me. My guess it that having bad feet for so long probably threw her off.
Its completely fine if y'all just want me to use the money on feed or vet bills, but I figured I'd mention it. I already paid for her teeth to be floated, so that's a nonissue now, thankfully. I believe it costs $75 for the initial treatment from a non-vet, but I'd be more comfortable hiring a vet to do it, and the closest one to us costs $90 if we bring her to him, or $100 + mileage to come here. I'd hopefully be able to trailer her up there though, so I don't think we'd have to pay the mileage fee.

Kentucky Congressman Denies Allegations of Ethical Misconduct
It is no surprise that The Big Lick crowd would not be pulling any punches in their push to stop the Prevent All Soring Tactics Act. The timing of these allegations against Rep. Whitfield (who introduced the PAST Act) – right before the summer break – is designed to muddy the waters and stop a vote from being brought in the House to pass the PAST Act. ~ HfH
From: Kentucky.com
By: Janet Patton
U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield, R-Hopkinsville, said Monday that an ethics investigation underway in Washington was prompted by efforts to derail his legislation to fight soring of Tennessee walking horses.
Whitfield told reporters that the complaint alleges that his wife, Connie, lobbied him for the Humane Society of the United States to file the Prevent All Soring Tactics Act, which seeks to ban the pads and chains used by some walking horse trainers.
"She did not lobby me on it," Whitfield said. "I was involved in this in 2004, wrote a letter about it in 2010. I'd already made a decision to introduce this bill. Connie was a part of the coalition, along with (American Horse Council president) Jay Hickey and others. She did not convince me to do this bill. I've been involved in animal issues since I was first elected in 1994."
Connie Whitfield is an attorney who has worked as a consultant for the Humane Society since 2011 and has lobbied on behalf of the PAST Act.
Ed Whitfield said that "ironically, my score with Humane Society has gone down" in recent years because he doesn't support other parts of the group's agenda pertaining to animal agriculture.

Paolo Virzi's 'The Human Capital' Takes Center Stage During Italy Award Season
Edoardo Winspeare's low-budget drama "Thanks to God" also earned best film nominations for both the Nastri d'Argento awards and Italy's Golden Globes.
ROME – Paolo Virzi's The Human Capital (Il capitale umano) continued its romp through the first phase of Italian film award season, garnering multiple nominations for both the Nastri d'Argento (Silver Ribbons) awards and Italy's version of the Golden Globes.
The film already totaled 19 nominations for the David di Donatello honors, one more than Paolo Sorrentino's Oscar winner The Great Beauty (La grande bellezza). The title is a delecate drama about two families whose fates become intertwined through a cyclist hit on a road before Christmas.
Now, added to its award nomination totals are eight nominations -- more than any other film -- for the Nastri d'Argento honors, Europe's oldest film awards, including Best Film. The film also earned three Golden Globe nominations (it was eligible in five categories), for Best Film, Best Actor (protagonist Fabrizio Bentivoglio) and Best Screenplay (for Virzi and co-writers Francesco Bruni and Francesco Piccolo).
Sorrentino's Oscar winner was not included in this year's version of the Nastri d'Argento or Golden Globes since it was released in time to be honored in 2013.
Joining The Human Capital among the Best Film nominees for the Nastri d'Argentos are Alice Rohrwacher's The Wonders (Le meraviglie), Jury Prize winner at the just-completed Cannes Film Festival; Daniele Luchetti's Happy Years (Anni Felici); Buckle Your Seatbelts (Allacciate le cincture), from Ferzan Ozpetek; and Edoardo Winspeare's low-budget relationship drama In Thanks to God (In grazie di dio).
Thanks to God joined The Human Capital among the Best Film nominees for the Golden Globes, along with Matteo Oleotto's cult comedy Zoran My Idiot Nephew (Zoran il mio nipote sceme), The Mafia Only Kills in the Summer (La mafia uccide solo d'estate) from Pif; and Sydney Sibilia's I Can Quit Whenever I Want (Smetto quando voglio).
The Nastri d'Argento prize ceremony, which began in 1946, will take place June 28 in Taormina, in Sicily, while the 54th edition of Italy's Golden Globes will take place June 12 in Rome. As previously reported, the Donatello awards will be handed out June 10.

Paycheck deduction ban pitched in San Diego
Supporters of Proposition 32 gathered here Thursday to press support for the initiative on next week's ballot that would ban payroll-deducted money for political activities.
Former Democratic state Sen. Gloria Romero said it would not solve all of the state's problems, but characterized it as a critical step forward.
"I believe that Proposition 32 is our best bet to try to try to take back our government from the special interests," Romero said.
The measure would ban payroll deductions from being used for political purposes — a practice more common among unions than private-sector companies that largely raise their political contributions through executives and corporate treasuries.
It also would prohibit unions and corporations from giving directly to political candidates, bar them from donating to candidate-controlled committees and prevent government contractors from donating to elected officials responsible for awarding the contract.
Critics characterize it as deceptive. They point to loopholes that allow certain corporations to fund political causes and argue it would shift more power toward super PACs.
Romero compared it favorably with creation of an independent redistricting committee and the top-two primary system. The measures share financiers, but some high-profile backers broke away to oppose Proposition 32.
Lilian Simmons, a registered nurse from Oceanside, said she supports the measure because she wants a say on how her union dues are spent for political purposes. "I would like to have my voice and this is a proposition that would help that," said Simmons, a member of the California Nurses Association.
Unions contend they are democratic organizations with leadership elected by the rank and file.
"As nurses we are very concerned about Proposition 32 eliminating our ability to advocate for our patients," said Jeri Jenkins, a retired nurse from University of California San Diego and a former president of CNA. "We are the only state in the country that has staffing ratios where if you have X amount of patients you're going to have X amount of nurses. You can be sure if something like this passes and stifles our voice the big hospitals will be throwing that stuff out the window immediately."
She added: "We should be able to have the same voice that a super PAC has or that David Koch has or that Charles Munger Jr. has. None of that is going to be regulated by this."
This is the third attempt aimed at what proponents have referred to as "paycheck protection" after the defeat of Proposition 226 in 1998 and Proposition 95 in 2005.

"With Xperia Z, we are bringing over half a century of innovation in TV, imaging, music, film and gaming to create a superphone experience that truly stands out," said Kuni Suzuki, President and CEO, at Sony Mobile Communications. "With great specifications, Sony's media applications One-touch functions and outstanding battery life, Xperia Z is well positioned for leadership in the smartphone market. By putting smartphones at the heart of our strategy, Sony is enabling people to create, enjoy and share content and experiences like never before."
Intelligent Sony Technology
Xperia Z's razor sharp Reality Display, powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2, brings Sony's long-standing TV expertise to the smartphone and delivers an immersive viewing experience with super brightness and clarity. The smartphone shares capabilities with Sony digital cameras and features Exmor RS for mobile, the world's first image sensor with HDR (High Dynamic Range) video for smartphones. HDR technology gives clear images against strong backlight, so users can capture razor sharp pictures and videos whatever the conditions.
Xperia Z also includes Battery STAMINA Mode that can improve the standby time by four times or more*by automatically shutting down battery-draining apps whenever the screen is off and starting them up again when the screen is back on.
Discover, enjoy and share entertainment with Sony's media applications and One-touch functions
Sony media applications offer a consistent entertainment experience across a range of Sony devices. Pre-loaded on Xperia Z, the "WALKMAN", Album and Movies apps, enable discovery of on-line and off-line content through a single access point with new ways to enjoy and share that content. The "WALKMAN" application provides access to all your downloaded music, a library of 18 million songs to explore from Music Unlimited and Facebook social integration. The Movies application gives consumers access to over 100,000 movies and TV series from Video Unlimited while the Album application enables easy access to Facebook friends' photos as well as browsing photos by location.**
One-touch functions enable consumers to easily share music, photos and videos from their smartphone to an array of NFC-enabled Sony devices, including speakers, headphones and now TVs. With the new BRAVIA TV, also announced today, simply touch Xperia Z to the remote control of the TV to instantly enjoy your photos and videos on the big screen.
Two additions to Sony's range of NFC-enabled headsets were also introduced today, the Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset SBH20 and the Wireless Headset DR-BTN200M. Touch Xperia Z to either headset and begin listening to tracks instantly.
Stand-out design and durability
Precision engineered with premium materials, Xperia Z introduces a unique OmniBalance design with subtly rounded edges and smooth reflective surfaces on all sides. Despite its slim 7.9mm body, Xperia Z is highly durable with tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back, as well as the highest levels of dust and water resistance*** (IP55 and IP57) found in a premium smartphone.
In selected markets, a design variant of Xperia Z - Xperia ZL - will also be released in Q1 2013. Xperia ZL delivers the same immersive entertainment experiences as Xperia Z but in a smaller form factor.
Xperia Z and Xperia ZL will launch on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and will be upgraded to 4.2 shortly after launch for the latest Android user experience.

With hundreds of new products and companies jumping into the IoT fray every month, there's no shortage of innovation. Despite this, McKinsey/VisionMobile data shows "less than 10 percent of IoT developers are making enough to support a reasonably sized team....

With all the incredible momentum behind the Internet of Things (IoT) industry, it is easy to forget that not a single CEO wakes up and wonders if "my IoT is broken." What they wonder is if they are making the right decisions to do all they can to increase revenue, decrease costs, and improve customer experience – effectively the same challenges they have always had in growing their business. The exciting thing about the IoT industry is now these decisions can be better, faster, and smarter.

The cloud. Like a comic book superhero, there seems to be no problem it can't fix or cost it can't slash. Yet making the transition is not always easy and production environments are still largely on premise. Taking some practical and sensible steps to reduce risk can also help provide a basis for a successful cloud transition. A plethora of surveys from the likes of IDG and Gartner show that more than 70 percent of enterprises have deployed at least one or more cloud application or workload. Yet a closer inspection at the data reveals less than half of these cloud projects involve production...

Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds. How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" in this scenario: microservice A (releases daily) depends on a couple of additions to backend B (re...

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome" is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken.

What is Beautiful People?
Beautiful People is a photographic book with stories, in which i want to help overcome stereotypical portraiture of the lives of people in Roma communities. To me Roma are beautiful and proud people, whose culture and identity have been almost systematically destroyed by several regimes in the recent history of Central Europe.
The people in my photographs live in the worst possible conditions just outside of the town Kezmarok, in Velka Lomnica, Slovakia. 2.000 people live without water supplies and canalization. But despite the slum-like conditions, their houses are always clean and tidy. And every one has at least one set of nice clothes for special occasions. When I portrayed them, i asked them to show themselves in the way that they want to be seen.
These photographs show men and women who try to live a better life. Men and women who show us that change is possible.
A unique book about overcoming stereotypes
The book Beautiful People will be an important resource of how to approach a broad and foreign audience. It will include photographs with short texts, connected to the portrayed person, as well as texts focused on more complex comprehension of Roma issues. It will become a prestigious, however an open publication for the reader, with the potential to address different social groups, generations and readers from various countries.
With this book i hope to reach those who are in power to make a change: politicians who can influence social changes, the Roma people themselves, with the hope that this project will boost their self confidence. And on a new generation, who's opinion matters.
The publication is being prepared with several different experts. The authors of the texts will be influential personas who will contribute to the value of the content of the book.
Your contributions will be used for text editing and translations (it will be in three languages - English, Roma and Slovak), book design, printing costs (size 24x28cm,130 pages) and distribution. I plan to publish the book in September 2013.
Your contribution will be rewarded by postcards, a signed book or original photographs. And the good feeling that your have helped to overcome prejudices that live in our society. In return I will donate 10% of the sale of the book to "Dive Maky", a Slovak n.g.o. that adopts talented Roma children and helps them with their education and carreer.
Help me to spread a word about my campaign Beautiful People. Thank you!

Uniquely designed for pet hair. Just like that couch you try to keep them from sitting on.
If there's one thing we've noticed about pet hair, it's that it always ends up where you don't want pet hair to be. New suit? Here comes the pet hair. Velvet shoes? Boom, pet hair. Guest bedroom with fresh sheets? You got it. Pet hair.
That's why we're assuming this Neato XV-21 has all those things stuffed inside of it, and more. Because it has some weird ability to attract pet hair, previously only seen in humans who don't like pets. Run this Neato XV-21 in your house and it'll pick up all the hair and dander faster than cats can run into the lap of a person with allergies.

Random Thoughts
It's official – we've moved back into the bus and are on our way again. Here are a few random thoughts until we figure out where we're going:
Our Spanish teacher told us about her husband's love of cockfighting. He raises his own cocks and everything. It's illegal, but apparently not uncommon.
The family atmosphere is something we really love about Mexico. The babies don't cry, the bigger kids take care of the littler kids, and the teenagers walk arm in arm with their grandparents down the street in the evenings. It's supposed to be this way.
When we've been to the local park, a group of kids of all ages welcomes Bode and starts playing with him regardless of the language barrier. It's not something unique to this town, but a general attitude of inclusion among the kids in Mexico. At the end of an hour playing with this particular group, they had given Bode a plastic helicopter toy and a ball. He was thrilled.
Countless restaurants have turned on cartoons or put in movies for Bode when we arrive (during sushi he saw the first half of Avatar…they even changed the settings from Spanish to English for him). Everyone is open-hearted to the kids. It's supposed to be this way.
On weekends (and all through Semanto Santa) mimes and clowns performed for tips to a huge crowd that sat outside in the heat on the steps of the historic Teatro Juarez. Bode was delighted with these performances, as were hundreds of Mexicans.
I think of all the times we brushed pass the 'silver guy' or Bush Man in San Francisco scoffing at the handful of tourists watching the shtick. But here, it's so different. Pure joy. And it isn't just those in the crowd. If the mime tries to make fun of someone passing by, he gets into the act. I've seen bald men chase him in jest for a hair joke, ice cream vendors toot the horns on their carts just as the mime bends over, and women pretend to be in love with him. It's just amazing–daily life- it's theater–and all part of the show.
The apartment worked out to about 15$ USD per day. Camping on the hillside was $12.
Our apartment was a steal – but we found out why. We had to deal with the occasional poo smell wafting through. After much discussion, some finger-pointing and further investigation we figured out that the shower drain was probably installed with no trap – connected directly to the sewer. We made a make-shift drain plug and kept the door closed and that seemed to take care of it.
The next order of business was the poop paper basket. If you're flushing your paper, you're just not in Mexico. This hasn't been (too much) of an issue so far, but now we had our own apartment and were in charge of emptying out the trash ourselves. You have to really love somebody…
Our tiny studio apartment was right above the street vendors – we literally had to push our way out the door between ladies cutting up cactus, bakers selling bread on boxes, the plastic-ware lady, the veggie guys, etc. If we were ever hungry or needed anything, it was just right outside our door.
We ate from just about every cart, but settled in with one of the gordita ladies as our favorite. We could barely walk by one lady cooking up cabeza in a huge pan. She was fortunately positioned towards the end of the block and could be avoided. Our friend Ane is pregnant and we had a quick discussion about how her sense of smell is heightened… Mexico could be a tough place to be pregnant if only for that reason.
There is a complete absence of cooking utensils at all the food carts. Doesn't seem to matter. Need to flip the tortillas, carne, or whatever? Just grab it and flip it. Go ahead and touch the scalding cooktop – doesn't hurt a bit. Need to move those coals around underneath? Just reach in and poke them around with your hand.
Giant fried pork skins. Gotta love 'em.
On the way up to our door we would walk right by the open window of our neighbors kitchen, where we could look right down into her pots to see what was she was cooking for dinner. It's an intimate town.
On our last night in town, we went for a walk to the big Jardin and had dinner and soaked it all in. There were dueling mariachis every few steps and lively activity everywhere. The edificios and gardens are even more beautiful at night. This is just a great place. We usually tire of places quickly, but even after 3 weeks we don't feel like we're finished with Guanajuato. We'll be back some day.
And, no, we're not interested in selling the bus.

Sounds like you are having a blast. Mexico gets such a bad wrap here in the states most of the time. It is nice to see it in a new light from your guys point of view. Best wishes as you continue on your journey!

It's nice to know you are enjoying our country as much as I do.
What are the plans now? go back to the coast? if so, I think the pacific is the best choice, there are nice places in Guerrero and Oaxaca, then you can go through Chiapas and drive the Ruta Maya.
I'm sure you know it: anyway I recomend you to be away from Ciudad de Mexico.
Read you later.

I bet your Vegan friends LOVE your food choice!!! LOL!!!
If you get back to Guanajuato, feel free to stay with us. We have camping space in El Centro, near Plaza Mexiamora with a beautiful view of the city (and it's free!).
