Sony Xperia Z1 (Honami) benchmark
0. phoneArena 19 Sep 2013, 07:51 posted on
Well, well, well, look who's here! The Sony Xperia Z1 itself has arrived, and if it had the faintest idea what we were going to do with it, it'd have probably stayed at home... But, being the self-confident smartphone that it is (and we can't blame it - the phone is a powerhouse!), it has fallen right into our geeky hands, so we've seized the opportunity and put Sony's new Android flagship through its paces...

Yes your right,, i had the Xperia Z on TMOB,, just recently got rid of and got the G2,, the phone is a beast,, i really wanted to wait on the Z1 Honami,, but Sonys bad marketing issues with phones always coming late in the US,, bothered me. G2 is out and on every carrier quickly and swiftly the Z1 may only be on TMOB again if your lucky ATT as well, but you may not see it on a US carrier until next year... SMH.. just like the Xperia Z on TMOB,, the phone came out in JAN....

Any idea if they'll have a 'mini' version of the Z1?

I'm lacking the knowledge of all the "mini" models of phones. Can someone briefly explain the difference and why these are around?
10. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
Cause not everybody wants to have a 5" screen phone... specially if it has big bezels... which in turn makes the phone almost phablet size...
I already got used to my "smallish" 4.3" Xperia Acro S... so for me I would love to have a BEAST like the Z1 in a smaller package similar to my current phone...
Minis are a small option for big flagships, usually with tradeoff like a less resolution screen, less processing power and inferior camera... but rumors has it that the Z1 Mini (if it exist) it will probably have the same features of its bigger brother (except for screen and battery)
12. Vireak (unregistered)
I just want everything to be exactly the same but smaller. I'm looking to buy a new phone with similar size and design quality to the iphone 5s. I'm hoping someone here could suggest something.
16. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
HTC One. If design quality and iphone like size is what ur after.
19. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
If you can wait for what Sony has to show... then I would say that you should wait for Z1 Mini...
If not, then I would say the HTC One Mini is pretty good... (downside is RAM)
Asus is also going to make a PadFone Mini, and if its similar to the Infinity it should be real close to the iPhone 5s design
23. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
That's the thing, that is usually what the mini versions are. People just refuse to accept this because the big 1080 p beasts with S800, 3000 mah, and 3 gbs of ram exist.
The 5s is dual core, 2gb of ram, 1570 mah, with a less than 720p screen.
The current minis ARE dual cores, 1.5 - 2gb of ram, and 1900mah to 2100 mah, and 720 screens.
The minis are already 5s level yet you smart people won't accept them because the 1080 p beasts exists.
The only way the morons will accept a mini phone is if it wasn't a mini and a stand alone phone without a bigger version with better specs.
31. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
You are both correct and not correct in my opinion
Correct that the Mini versions are already up to the iPhone 5S standard... (spec wise)
But incorrect into assuming that people will not get the mini version because it has bigger one next to it... The Sony Xperia ZR was basically a Xperia Z Mini but marketed without that term... and it might not have had the same impact it would if it was called a "Mini"
the "Mini" term is a Marketing strategy that leads people into thinking they got the Flagship phone only in a smaller package.... (and today this is slowly becoming true) but in reality when the Galaxy S3 Mini came out, many people got for this reason, and actually the Galaxy S2 was still more powerful....
So I actually agree with Vireak, in that newer "Mini" versions should resemblance more the flagship phones... except for the obvious components that wouldn't matter (screen 720p, and a relatively smaller battery).... everything else INCLUDING RAM, internal memory, processor, camera... I would love to be the same as bigger version
32. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Problem is that if you use a processor built for 3000 may battery, it would rape that 21000 or lower battery in an instance. Everything should scale down, not just screen and battery. That is just simple math.
33. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
Not really.... the S800 with a 720p screen should be very power efficient... the screen is the battery hog most of the time... Also having more RAM should help the constant closure and reopening of apps which in turns drain battery....
And by scale down, I would trade a bit of thinness for battery of course.... 9mm instead of 7mm would be enough to keep a 2300~2500 mhA battery...
Go and see battery test for Xperia ZR vs Xperia Z or ZL... same processor
39. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Yes really, even you were right about a smaller battery being able to handle a beast processor, which you are not, you still can't have your mini version beating your flagship in benchmarks. That is suicide unlike you are stupid like HTC who actually did release a One S that outperformed the One X because they had the same internals.
40. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
not everyone cares about benchmark scores... actually almost no one if you see the whole global smartphone users, we "geeks" are a really small percentage...
42. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
True but they do care about real world performance and when the minis outperform the flagships but have way worse battery life, they are committing suicide basically.
43. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
ok dude... clearly we are posting our opinions here and nothing else... you have yours and I have mine...
We'll see soon... It was already rumored that Sony's Z1 Mini version will be a true flagship in a smaller package...
We will see later what the big players do then...
3. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Beasty benchmarks. But I want mini just like ZR with Z1 specs.
5. zachattack (Posts: 621; Member since: 31 Jul 2013)

17. Piotrek007 (Posts: 112; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
Guys you are useless !! Your video is totally wrong !! Everything about Z1 is OK, yet results of G2 are small as F**K !! Where the hell you took those numbers from ??!! G2 is equally powerfull, sometimes more than Z1 !! Why do you lie in video ? =\ I don't like this video !!
18. nnjerzy (Posts: 121; Member since: 19 Jun 2013)
i agree i have the g2 and it is a monster and has great features and a screen that i have never seen before, plus a amazing battery
20. Piotrek007 (Posts: 112; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
Jealous much about your phone :P I have SGS3 from the time it came out and now I'm thinking about changing it. I love Lmost everything in G2, but Im waiting for full review of Z1 battery test and camera. If the battery will be as good as in G2 i think i might get Sony instead of LG :o
27. anleoflippy (Posts: 595; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
On GSMarena, the Talk Time is on the top. The video playback and web browsing isn't as impressive as the G2 but definitely better than the Z Ultra.
25. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
You can see benchmark results here:http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_x
Z1 has a close competition with G2 and ZU.
21. flynfree (Posts: 374; Member since: 09 Jun 2013)
O_o, where did you get that score? I think gsmarena is more accurate when it comes to benchmarking, just wait a little bit.
22. flynfree (Posts: 374; Member since: 09 Jun 2013)
O_o, where did you get that score? I think gsmarena is more accurate when it comes to benchmarking, just wait a little bit.
For those who want to know the battery endurance rating of your highly anticipated xperia Z1, go to gsm arena. Web surf, video playback are so so, only talk time is impressive.
26. anleoflippy (Posts: 595; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
Yeah, I've seen it.
I was actually expecting 45-50 hours 53 hours is better. The important thing for me is the Talk Time which is surprisingly on the top. Though I'm sure some sort of firmware update will improve the battery life. I have a powerbank anyways. Overall, not disappointed.
29. flynfree (Posts: 374; Member since: 09 Jun 2013)
That's good, but the G2's battery and benchmark are pretty impressive, you don't need to bring portable battery for whole day use.
35. nnjerzy (Posts: 121; Member since: 19 Jun 2013)
I havent had to charge my G2 at all thoughout the whole day,, on my Xperia Z i had lol,, not even worth talking about
24. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
Both the G2 pushes the same amount if pixels, both have S800 clocked the same, both have 2gb of ram etc. Why even look at benchmarks, the hardware is the same.
The discrepancies come from cooking the benchmarks, which everyone does yet only Samsung gets called out for it for some reason in regards to the Exynos Octa. Or it comes from the different software skins and then you would be just getting into the same reasons iPhone's bench so high despite having some weak hardware.
Basically out the same software on both the Z1 and G2 they would be EXACTLY THE SAME in benchmarks so stop whining if one S800 device somehow scores lower on benchmarks than another. For all intents and purposes they are the same.

Interstate 94 southbound has reopened after a rollover crash involving a semi-truck caused part of the highway in Milwaukee to be shut down Thursday night.
Three lanes were closed as crews tried to right the truck after it crashed near the Mitchell Interchange just before 9 p.m.
Officials with the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said the truck carrying cranberries was cut off by another vehicle and flipped over as the driver attempted to avoid a collision.
No one was hurt in the incident, but the semi was leaking fuel onto the highway.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the highway fully reopened around 3 a.m.

In the bathroom, about to do laundry, I have the towels, the underwear and socks, and there are the colors. Piles of winter clothes, piles of outgrown clothes in the boys' room.
In my bedroom there's a pile of books, they make a tight pile in a stack. In the living room a pile of toys. It's a neat bunch in a basket. By my desk too many piles of too many things.
I have piles of children. Piles of friends. Family. Responsibilities. Piles of promises.
I keep them in their category. Sometimes I keep them from me.
On a clear day when the windows are open and I embrace energy with the heart of a lion, everything is easy and the piles are put away where they go. A place for them all and they fit in their place.
Clouds crawl by and my eyes are drowsy and it all spills out, into piles, again.
And it gets easy to make my map around them, to add on top of them, what's another onto the pile? But I find I only have mind to give attention to just one or two. So, the others suffer and grow like an infection.
The moments when they're smoothed from wrinkles, tucked and tidy, are so few. Out of habit, out of pride, out of need I try to satisfy. Every pile, a push and shove and kick-the-door-closed to keep them from spilling out again and again.
But they do.

A man facing a second trial in the shooting death of a Topeka woman and the wounding of her partner has pleaded no contest to some of the charges.
Anceo Stovall, 27, entered the plea Monday as his second trial was set to begin in the July 2011 shooting death of Natalie Gibson, 40, and the wounding of Lori Allison, 43. The women were shot during a robbery when they returned to their Topeka home.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports Stovall pleaded no contest to second-degree murder, criminal threat, conspiracy to commit robbery and attempted aggravated battery. Several other charges were dismissed.
The jury in his first trial could not reach verdicts on the nine of 11 charges against Stovall. He was one of nine people arrested in the case.

COLUMBIA — When Chaz Sutton watched college football games as a child growing up in Savannah, he wasn't envisioning himself playing for the home-state team.
Sutton was a Miami fan. As in, The U. Somewhat unique in Savannah, and certainly strange, the senior South Carolina defensive end stuck out compared to the other kids in his neighborhood.
"Me being from Georgia, there's always a lot of talk about UGA football," Sutton said. "Me as a child, growing up I never really got into watching Georgia football as much. I always was a big fan of UM — University of Miami — because all the great players that had come from there. I was like, 'Man, what if I could be one of those guys.' "
Sutton didn't see the big deal in wearing a giant G on the side of his helmet. His attention was focused outside the hedges, not between them.
In high school, that changed.
As a top 10 weakside defensive end nationally — and top 20 overall prospect in Georgia — it didn't take long for the Bulldogs to recruit Sutton. The questions soon followed. How high was Georgia on his list of schools? Would he be a Bulldog? Always, the answer was assumed.
In Georgia, accepting the privilege to play inside Sanford Stadium is a birthright. That's what everyone told him, so Sutton scheduled a trip to campus.
"Once I visited there, I just had a change of thought. Like, 'That's not a place I want to be,'" Sutton said.
He didn't say what diverted his path, but Sutton represents a trend at USC. The Gamecocks have 25 players from Georgia, more than a quarter of their scholarship roster.
For those from the Peach State, the program's three-game winning streak against Georgia — its longest in program history — carries special meaning.
"It's like a rivalry game for me," sophomore safety T.J. Gurley said. "Most of the Georgia players are from around where I'm from, so I know a lot of them. They're talking a lot of trash, but it's just all fun. It's a rivalry game to me."
Gurley mentioned a few Georgia players he knows from high school, including Bulldogs starting safety Tray Matthews. He recently hosted freshman cornerback Brendan Langley on a recruiting trip to Columbia.
"Me and him are real cool," Gurley said.
Perhaps less cool this week.
With an 0-1 record — something that doesn't mix well with Georgia's preseason dreams of winning a national championship — the Bulldogs need no extra motivation this week. They return to their home stadium 4:30 p.m. Saturday licking wounds after an opening loss to Clemson nobody in Athens saw coming.
Perhaps USC coach Steve Spurrier was thinking the same when he downplayed the Border Bash on Tuesday. Spurrier, flashing his trademark sarcasm, said this matchup really isn't that big of a rivalry. After all, so many other teams dislike the Bulldogs, and the Bulldogs dislike so many other teams. There is Florida and Auburn, heated rivals in both SEC divisions. Georgia even got in a postgame scrum with Vanderbilt two seasons ago.
It's hard for the Bulldogs to keep track of all their enemies, Spurrier quipped.
"I don't get near the hate from the Georgia side that I used to get," he said.
But Saturday, things will get personal inside Sanford Stadium. Spurrier revived the rivalry when he came to Carolina almost a decade ago. After three straight victories, and with USC's suddenly-fertile recruiting ground in the state, it's hit another level in recent years.
Gurley doesn't doubt Georgia will be motivated this weekend. He knows part of that will be USC's attempt to make this crop of seniors the first ever to finish their careers undefeated against the Bulldogs.
"You know they don't want to lose to us, because we've been beating them the past years," Gurley said.
"They want to beat us. So they're going to go out there and play hard. They know South Carolina has got a lot of Georgia players, and they know if we beat them we're going to talk trash to each other."

EAST LIVERPOOL - Those who use Thompson Park facilities will now be assessed a $35 per day cleaning deposit after action Tuesday by the park board.
President Burl Warrick had suggested the idea of a cleaning fee at the last meeting, and again broached the subject Tuesday, saying those who rent park pavilions already pay the $35 fee in addition to the rental fee.
The two fees are asked to be paid in separate checks, with the cleaning fee check returned if the pavilion is found to be satisfactorily cleaned after usage.
Board members debated whether to charge $35 per day or per event in the case of activities that occur over more than one day, and it was decided that the daily fee will be charged, again to be returned if the facilities are cleaned afterward.
This deposit will be required for all facilities, including ball fields, tennis courts and the amphitheater.
Warrick's suggestion that a specific opening and closing time be set for park gates was tabled until the next meeting, to give members a chance to check a sunrise and sunset chart.
Bill Crawford, representing the Mojo Foundation, asked for permission to use the amphitheater on July 20 for a an event featuring The Vespers, a band from Nashville that plays Americana and folk music.
The free event would be held in conjunction with the foundation's program that offers free music lessons to young people, some of whom would also perform that day.
Particulars about the event are not yet set, but Crawford asked that any fee be waived since it would be a fund-raiser for the foundation, with donations to be accepted.
The board agreed to let the event take place.
Board members also read a letter from Tom Keller of the Tri-State Tennis Association who is organizing the summer league and hopes to use the park tennis courts in the coming year, also saying Jerry Cannon has been approved by the USTA to schedule a tennis tournament, The East Liverpool Open in September.
The board approved of a suggestion by Warrick that $3,400 still remaining in a capital improvement levy fund that has now expired be combined with a $3,000 donation from the Patrick Family Trust for a piece of playground equipment, to be determined by member Samantha Kinemond.
Warrick reported he has registered to attend a Sunshine Law course in April, also inviting other board members to participate.
The board discussed briefly the upcoming superintendent test, agreeing that all those who pass will be interviewed, even though Civil Service regulations require only the top 10 who have a passing grade must be interviewed.
Currently, 12 people have applied to take the test next Wednesday.
The board's next meeting will be at 4 p.m. March 5 in council chambers.

Late last week I posted a blog that gave our readers an in depth look at what former Rockford Boylan and University of Illinois kicker Derek Dimke is going through while trying to win the job as the Tampa Bay Bucs kicker. Two days later, that idea got the boot.
Dimke was told by Bucs' officials that he is not allowed to aid in a blog on a consistent basis, and that from now on, I must go through their offices before contacting Dimke for a story.
Oh well, we tried.
"We got caught," Dimke told me as I answered the phone.
However, I will continue to hound the Bucs media relations staff, and get as many phone conversations in with Dimke as I can during the preseason. So despite everything, keep watching for Dimke updates right here.

17 Barry Law Review 7 (2011)
Arizona Legal Studies Discussion Paper No. 11-05
This short essay was prepared for a lecture on 'Therapeutic and Collaborative Family Law,' sponsored by the law school at Barry University (Orlando), and slated for publication in a special law review issue launching Barry's new family law journal.
Using three cases from practice as examples, the essay proposes an initial framework for thinking about the intersection of criminal law practice with family systems – a type of 'family-friendly' criminal law practice.

All right, fine. LeBron James is, in fact, the true MVP of the NBA. It was written here not long ago that the Miami Heat forward is the best player in the league, but not deserving of the MVP award. The assertion was based on the belief that James simply is not clutch in the biggest moments; or, more specifically, that he's just the opposite. He proved as much in past playoffs time and time again. Well, that appears to have changed. While James didn't hit any game-winning shots at the buzzer during his team's 2012 championship run — the closest thing was a key 3-pointer in the final minutes of Game 4 — that was because he was so dominant he didn't need to. Never did he look frightened of the moment, hesitant to shoot, searching for a teammate to bail him out. He took the ball to the hole with authority when his team needed a bucket. He defended with tenacity. He looked confident. His very demeanor exuded leadership and competence. He was good. Very good. For what it's worth, he silenced at least one critic of his play.
It also was written here that San Francisco Giants broadcasters Mike Krukow and Duane Kuiper need to clean up their grammar. Both have developed bad habits, and they have become more blatant over the years — enough to warrant being called out on it. But as local residents Pete Kristian and Bob Bolton accurately pointed out, both are pretty cool dudes, and they make an outstanding broadcast team. While they may incorrectly use "good" in place of "well" dozens of times over the course of a game, they entertain loyal viewers with their considerable baseball knowledge, humorous quips and complementary personalities. When it comes down to it, they are two of the best in the business, in spite of their grammatical shortcomings. The real issue, as a couple of other readers accurately pointed out, is the fact that sloppy usage of the English language by professional communicators is rampant these days. Those who don't like it, well, all we can do is grumble.

"The question is not - are we better off than we were four years ago? The question is - where will America be four years from now?"
Voters should be asking themselves that question - originally posed by Democrat George McGovern nearly 30 years ago - as they head to the polls to elect the next president.
If they do, it will be clear Mitt Romney deserves their vote on Nov. 6.
Four years ago, Americans voted for Barack Obama's promises of hope and change.
But we didn't get the sunny day envisioned by many. Instead we have been saddled with exploding debt and a struggling economy.
Obama has added $5.4 trillion to our nation's debt, which now stands at $16 trillion. This places an immense burden on future generations. How will they be able to repay this money and still have enough money to support their families?
On the jobs' front, fewer Americans are working today than when Obama took office. Millions have given up looking for work or are underemployed in low-wage or part-time jobs because better positions aren't available.
Those who are working - and thankful to have a job - often have seen their wages stagnate, even as the cost of nearly everything from food to fuel has risen.
While gasoline prices are starting at long last to decline, it's still about double what it was when Obama took office. He claims the low price in 2009 was because the Great Recession cut growth. So how does he explain the rapid rise in prices even though the economy was struggling?
And why should we believe the current drop will be more than temporary? We've seen prices at the pump drop before only to rapidly go back up. Is there any reason for Americans to have confidence that the current administration will adopt policies that can make our nation more energy independent if given another four years?
We don't think so, especially based on the administration's efforts to stomp out the coal industry. What will happen to our electric bills over the long term if more and more coal-generating plants are closed because of new regulations imposed by the administration - rules that were not passed by the people's elected representatives in Congress?
Romney has a sensible plan to get the private sector growing by lowering tax rates, generating jobs and creating opportunities for working Americans.
More important, Romney brings the predictability on government regulation and taxes that businesses need to create jobs - and families need to begin buying again and, thus, growing the economy.
Romney will ensure programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid remain available to the many Americans who rely on them. Real health care reform, not a government takeover that will cost many families more for medical care, will occur under Romney.
Our foreign enemies will face a strong, determined United States - not a nation second-guessing ourselves and our heritage, as has been the case the last four years. The world has become more dangerous thanks to an Obama foreign policy that refuses to recognize the resurgent threat of Islamic terrorism, snubs the leader of Israel and has done little or nothing to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons.
Where will America be - economically, militarily and in world standing - after another four years of the Obama administration? Is that where you want our nation to be? We don't.
Obama was right about one thing in 2008: The United States needs hope and change.
We need hope for a brighter tomorrow, and we need a change of direction in Washington. Mitt Romney is the leader our nation needs, and we encourage our readers to vote for him on Nov. 6.

CHESTER - Just a block from where Tyler Simpson was seriously injured in a car accident Nov. 18, family and friends sold "Team Tyler" T-shirts on Saturday to help cover the boy's medical expenses.
A group of Tyler's cousins, bundled up in coats and hats during Saturday's Chester Hometown Christmas Celebration, started out the day with 50 donated shirts. "Within one or two hours, they were all gone," said Maddison McPherson, 18, of Chester, a cousin.
It's the kind of community support that has been growing for the 14-year-old boy and his family ever since the tragic accident on an early but dark Sunday evening two weeks ago.

Taking her order are (from left) family friend Miranda Six, 18, cousin Maddison McPherson, 18, cousin Karraghan Taylor, 16, and cousin Logan Taylor, 13, all of Chester. The table was set up in front of Janette's Barber Shop, 428 Carolina Ave., during the annual Chester Hometown Christmas Celebration. (Photo by Stephen Huba)
Tyler, an eighth-grader at Oak Glen Middle School, suffered head and brain injuries after being run over by a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck driven by Jason R. Juszczak, 37, of New Cumberland, Chester police said.
Tyler remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit of Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Taylor said.
Family members are still puzzling over the accident, even as they struggle to cope with the seriousness of the injuries to Tyler.
"We believe it was a total accident," said Tyler's aunt Rachael Taylor, 40, of Chester, who said she's like a mother to the boy. "From what the police have said, he hit the tail end of the trailer."
Taylor said Tyler was crossing Carolina Avenue in front of Hancock County Savings Bank and may have been hampered by a recent ankle sprain. "We don't know if maybe his shoes were not tied. Maybe he tripped. Maybe he lost his balance," she said.
Compounding the tragedy is the fact that Tyler's mother, grandmother, sister, brother and several friends witnessed the accident, Taylor said.
"He was never alone. My sister was right there," Taylor said, speaking of Tyler's mother, Allison Scarry.
That night, Tyler was at his aunt's house and decided to meet up with some friends - a cadre of Chester boys who like to hang out and play basketball and football after school. Taylor lives just a block away from where the accident happened.
At Taylor's suggestion, Tyler's mother drove him to the bank in a car loaded up with his grandmother, brother, 10, and sister, 6. Across the street, sitting on the steps of First Presbyterian Church, were Tyler's friends, waiting for him.
Some of the friends had just come over from Chester City Park, said Lacey Bramhall, whose son, Mitchell, witnessed the accident. "It was horrible," Bramhall said.
"They sat there and watched him go across the street," Taylor said. "I couldn't even imagine seeing this happen. ... It's scary."
Paramedics from Chester-Newell Ambulance found Tyler's unresponsive body in the roadway and took him to a staging area at Chester City Park. From there, he was flown by Air Evac Lifeteam to Pittsburgh.
Tyler has been paralyzed and in an induced coma since then, Taylor said. "He's in bad shape," she said. "It's been a rough road."
Doctors operated on Tyler soon after his arrival at Children's Hospital, taking out a piece of his skull and implanting a titanium plate, Taylor said. They now want to take him off his coma medication and see how he does.
"He's still fighting," said Taylor, who's barely left his hospital bedside in two weeks.
Taylor said Tyler is an average student who likes to play video games and ride scooters. He especially enjoys hanging out with his friends after school. "They're nice kids. They never get into trouble," she said.
On Saturday, some of those friends set up a table at the Chester Hometown Christmas Celebration to sell "Team Tyler" T-shirts and take donations, which will go to defray the family's medical expenses.
Bramhall showed up at the table on Saturday with a roll of plastic tablecloth that she is asking people to sign as a sort-of giant "get well" card. "When I heard they were doing this, I decided it might be better to do it here so the community can sign it and not just students," she said.
Bramhall said she didn't want to limit the card to just Tyler's classmates because of what happened at a recent "meet the team" night at the middle school. During a moment of silence for Tyler, she said, some "ignorant" students made inappropriate comments.
Bramhall hopes to get a lot of signatures because "there are so many people in the community praying for him as well."

We had the opportunity to take a side trip to Williamsburg and try out a salt spa. Salt therapy finds its origins in a theory developed by by Doctor Felix Boczkowski in 1843 that the air in the salt mines of Wieliczka, Poland provided beneficial effects to those suffering from pulmonary and respiratory issues. Some claim that salt therapy sessions are effective in helping those with allergies, asthma, bronchitis, even a weakened immune system, among other issues.
The Wieliczka Salt Mine, near Krakow, has the largest Underground Rehabilitation and Treatment Center, providing innovative rehabilitation and treatment by combining the natural microclimate of the underground salt excavations with contemporary medicine 135 meters below the surface. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nine centuries of mining rock salt have produced over 200 kilometers of passages and over 2000 caverns with chapels, museum, a lake and other attractions. But what does that have to do with Williamsburg?
The Williamsburg Salt Spa uses the Wieliczka model and has almost identically reproduced the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the mine. The appearance mimics the mine's appearance and the ventilation system has been tuned to maintain the temperature, humidity, and unique microclimate of the original mine. The Williamsburg Salt Spa has imported over 15 tons of therapeutic salt from Poland and Pakistan to create the microclimate rich in minerals (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, bromine and iodine.
Each session at the Williamsburg Salt spa lasts 45 minutes, during which you relax in a very comfortable recliner, listen to the soothing sounds of music, and breathe in the air saturated with all those beneficial minerals. The air temperature hovers around 75 degrees and the humidity ranges between 40 -50%. Reservations are recommended as space is limited. A 45-minute Swedish massage is also available in the salt room by prior arrangements. Reservations/Contact.
Our session was comfortable, relaxing, and deep breathing of the mineral-laden air was actually energizing. Several of our party, took the opportunity to take a little catnap during the session. So, if you're planning a trip to Richmond, we encourage you to add a day to your stay at the historic Fan District's premier bed and breakfast inn, and take a little side trip to Williamsburg just east on I-64, and arrange a therapy session at the Williamsburg Salt Spa, where a Polish tradition comes to the United States.

COLUMBIANA - The city's past discussions about moving away from self-funded insurance have generated interest from other providers.
Last week Stan McCamon of McCamon-Hunt Insurance in Youngstown said the agency has worked with other groups that were previously self-funded, and is currently the provider for the city of Youngstown.
"What I've read in the paper it sounds like you have some issues with your current health plan," he said to council members.
Council members tossed about the idea of leaving the self-funded plan over the last year, with a recent bout of expensive claims possibly being the last straw.
The plan is administered by MCA Administrators and the city pays 100 percent of the maximum possible cost for its full-time employees.
During the last two months of 2012, the city spent an additional $194,000 in claims resulting in the city's combined cost for claims and insurance to climb a few dollars over $1 million.
The city had originally budgeted $902,900 for insurance claims in 2012.
Acting City Manager and Finance Director Mike Harold said the city actually spent less than he expected on the serious claims that required the additional money in November and December.
He had first requested $150,000 be appropriated to the insurance fund and later requested an additional $60,000 in the fund to cover the claims that came in suddenly.
Last week he said the city didn't use $16,000 of the $60,000 he had requested.
"We didn't need all of it ... I just requested that to hope that we had enough there to meet the claims. That is the highest amount it has been the last couple of years," he said.
Council members and Mayor David Spatholt told McCamon they would look over the agency's proposal.
Harold said he has fielded phone calls from other agencies expressing an interest in being the city's provider.
On another matter, Harrold told council the city's 2012 income tax revenue increased slightly over 2011. Revenue was at $2.1 million for last year, and he said it's the first time since 2007 the tax revenue has exceeded $2 million.
Business income tax also experienced a "jump," while individual income tax revenue went down about 4.8 percent from 2011, he added.

Just because it's Independence Day doesn't mean you should be independent.
Think of the Fourth of July as one of the summer's greatest free festivals: Wherever you are in Western New York, you merely have to step outside to catch an awesome fireworks show and join the celebration of our country's 237rd birthday. But would our nation's founders be proud to see you commemorating the occasion in your backyard, with a few hot dogs on a grill and some beers in a cooler? Probably not. This is the United States, after all, and on the USA's b-day, it's our duty to unite with our fellow Americans for fireworks.
There are dozens of Independence Day celebrations around Western New York, each capturing the spirit of the Fourth in their own way. Here's our picks for five great places to see tonight's dazzling displays of fireworks.
Do you have other plans for the evening? Find this article at buffalonews.com and let us know your favorite way to spend the Fourth, or tweet us @TheBuffaloNews.
1. Amherst: Baird Point, University at Buffalo North Campus
None of the evening's fireworks spectacles are quite as spectacular as the explosive extravaganza at UB's North Campus. That's why this celebration draws one of the biggest Independence Day crowds in Western New York. Since UB's North Campus is a central location for city and suburban dwellers, for settled-down families and roaming college students, tens of thousands of people make this their first choice for every Fourth.
"It's a great tradition," said John DellaContrada, assistant vice president of UB's media relations. "These are fireworks that have a reputation for delivering excitement."
Just be sure to arrive early for this one – the perilous fight for parking might test your patriotism.
The evening begins with a performance by Bill McEwen at 7 p.m., followed by a concert by the Erie County Wind Ensemble, starting at 8:45 and continuing until the fireworks at dusk. Friday is the rain date for both performances, to be held again at the North Campus.
2. Chautauqua: Chautauqua Institution
Why wait until dusk to have fun on the Fourth? The Chautauqua Institution (1 Ames Ave., Chautauqua), as usual, has a packed schedule today, and you can show up well before the fireworks and fill your whole day with patriotic processions. The day starts with a children's parade at 10 a.m., which Vanessa Weinert, the Chautauqua Institution's marketing manager, called "the most adorable thing you'll ever see," with children ages 3 to 5 decked out in red, white and blue. Chris Hayes, the host of MSNBC's "Up with Chris Hayes," will speak in the amphitheater at 10:45 a.m.; Chris Stedman, a humanist chaplain at Harvard University, lectures in the Hall of Philosophy at 2 p.m.; and a production of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" kicks off at 4. This is to say nothing of the other seminars, concerts and presentations scheduled through the day.
The Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra plays its annual pops concert at 8 p.m., leading up to the fireworks around 10, which will coincide with a bells concert at the Miller Bell Tower – a rare chance to, literally, hear freedom ring.
Chautauqua Institution events require a gate pass, which ranges from $13 to $73, depending on age groups and the length of your stay. Go to ciweb.org to purchase gate passes and see the day's full schedule.
3. Buffalo: Canalside
You would think Canalside (44 Prime St.) would have been a prime location to see fireworks for many years – a place that could rival the dominance of UB's display. But only in the past few years, with unprecendented and much-needed development finally coming to the waterfront, has the harbor become a hot spot for the holiday.
"This year's Fourth of July festivities at Canalside celebrate not only America's independence, but the incredible momentum we're seeing on Buffalo's waterfront," said Robert Gioia, chairman of the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp.
To celebrate both the American Revolution and the Canalside resurgence, there will be an evening of free events, including a flag folding ceremony at 7 p.m., a concert by the George Scott Big Band of the Colored Musicians Club at 7:30 and children's' games and activities from 6 to 9. The Buffalo Niagara Concert Band plays at 9, leading up to the fireworks display over the Buffalo River. In other words: This isn't your average Thursday at Canalside.
The events will be held rain or shine. Visit canalsidebuffalo.com for more information.
4. Grand Island: Martin's Fantasy Island
Maybe you have plans for your family early in the day, and then different plans somewhere else for fireworks. Maybe that's a great way to spend your holiday in one long traffic jam.
But Martin's Fantasy Island (2400 Grand Island Blvd.) has your whole day covered on its annual Red, White and Blue Day. Admission for the whole day is specially priced at $17.76, the park will be covered in America's colors and kids get free rides on the antique Princess Carriage. You can go crazy at the theme park's games and rides all day, and then keep going crazy until dusk – the park stays open late for the fireworks. Most people see the rocket's red glare in a park by the water; how about seeing it in a theme park by a lit-up Ferris wheel?
When racing to catch fireworks, "some people spend more time in traffic than they spend at the show," said Len Synor, Martin's marketing director. "We take care of both here. You get a full day of fun, and then your fireworks at night."
5. Lewiston: Lewiston Plateau
Are you looking to join a crowd for Independence Day, but not a crowd of, say, 20,000? Then heading down to the Village of Lewiston is a wise and welcoming alternative. You'll still get a great view of the fireworks against a scenic backdrop, at the Lewiston Plateau (close to Artpark, at 450 S. Fourth St., which will not hold any events for the occasion). But you'll also get to relax and enjoy the quaint charms of a small town that is steeped in its own fascinating history, from the first European settlers in Western New York to many pivotal battles of the War of 1812. It's a nice break from the hordes of beer-drinking, music-blasting patriots at some of the more obvious fireworks forays.
"I think Lewiston is just a nice place to be," said Anne Welch, the village's clerk/treasurer. "The village is very secure, very safe, and lots of families know that they can go there and not have to worry about anything."
Welch estimated that only about 1,000 people head to the Lewiston Plateau every year, meaning that, at this celebration, you can join a sea of red, white and blue and still feel like you've got the place to yourself.

Among 165 verified tumors of the spinal cord for which operation was performed at the Neurological Institute, between 1910 and 1926 inclusive, 8 were found in children 12 years of age or under. Two of the eight children were operated on before 1922, and the remaining six after that date. It is probable that the greater number of cases found in later years is due to the progress made in the recognition of tumors of the spinal cord by the neurologic signs and the information gained by such special tests

Not unlike the religious group by a similar name this word came into general use as more and more people searched for a term to describe their inner most trusted friends. This was done outside their circle or mere acquaintances. A trustafarian has gained your love and more importantly your trust over the years and through many different situations. These are the people you can count on the most, who will never let you down.
Sonia is my friend who is also my trustafarian. We share ideals, our thoughts, hopes and dreams. She would never betray my confidence. I trust her implicitly.

Supreme Court Dismisses Union-Backed Petition to Overturn Organizing Case
Right to Work Foundation-won Eleventh Circuit ruling stands, putting at risk backroom deals between companies and aggressive union organizers
Washington, DC (December 10, 2013) – Today, the United States Supreme Court announced that it "dismissed as improvidently granted" a union appeal of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling in Mulhall v. UNITE HERE.
The order leaves intact a significant victory for National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys and a Florida Mardi Gras Gaming employee in which the appeals court ruled that the company's organizing assistance to union officials could be unlawful "thing[s] of value." Consequently, as Jack Goldsmith, the Henry L. Shattuck Professor at Harvard Law School, today said about the Mulhall dismissal in a blog, "as long as CA11's decision stands, the specter of expensive and difficult litigation will hover over neutrality/bargaining agreements in many circuits, and will indeed chill the making of those agreements."

UNIVERSITY PARK - A year ago, Kyle Carter was all the rage as he was considered Penn State's best tight end following a stellar freshman season that included 36 catches.
Things are different this year, though, as Jesse James has received all the preseason hype as PSU's most promising tight end, while Carter will be trying to rebound from a sophomore slump.
Carter suffered an elbow injury in the opener against Syracuse last season, and he was never fully the all-around caliber of player most expected to see. He finished with only 18 catches, half the total from his freshman year.
"I felt like I was healthy throughout the whole year," Carter said. "I played every single game."
He was on the field playing, true, but he clearly wasn't 100 percent.
"Playing football, you're never 100 percent," Carter said. "Ever since I started playing football, my body never felt 100 percent."
He showed flashes of being an excellent receiving tight end two years ago, catching everything in sight, but Carter wasn't as reliable last season and dropped his share of passes.
"I can't use (injuries) as an excuse or anything like that," Carter said. "I was on the field. Plays were there to be made - you make some, you don't make some. It's nothing that I can blame on an injury."
While Carter struggled, James emerged as a big weapon from the tight end spot and wound up third on the team with 25 catches. James' freakish combination of size (6-foot 7, 272 pounds) and athletic ability have been a major focal point during the preseason, and he's expected to enjoy a big year.
Carter hasn't exactly been overlooked - he's still a big part of one of the country's best tight end groups - but expectations for him are more tempered than they were one year ago. The 6-3, 241-pound junior admitted he is motivated to live up to his freshman numbers.
"As a player, that's definitely something you want to do," he said. "You hear a lot of chit chat from a lot of different people. I just know I can go out there, do what I have to do."
Carter is happy for the recognition James is receiving and said, "Jesse, that's my guy." All of the tight ends push and motivate each other, which is how things must be on a team.
But there's only one ball. And all of the tight ends want to catch it as much as possible.
To do so, the tight ends have to compete day in and day out with one another, simply because there are so many good players on the team at that spot, including Adam Breneman, Brent Wilkerson and Mike Gesicki.
"You've got to earn the right to catch the ball, you've got to earn the right to be on the field for as many plays as you can get," James said. "There's only so many plays in the game, so you've got to work for each rep and give your all on every rep."
"At the end of the day we're all friends," Carter added, "but there's only one ball, and there's definitely some friendly competition."
The tight ends don't do a lot of talking, James said, and instead let their play do the talking for them. They are positive with one another and enjoy watching film and helping each other get better, which in turn will help the team.
And helping the team is the most important thing, by far, because the Nittany Lions will have to rely heavily on the tight ends this season.
The wide receiving corps is young and inexperienced, and coach James Franklin said earlier this week that the tight ends will be counted on to pick up a bulk of the production now that Allen Robinson and his school-record 97 catches are in the NFL.
"That will be cool," Carter said of the extra opportunities. "We definitely have to prove we deserve those catches this training camp."

Although the Hatters have two home games remaining this season, seniors Jordan Cleghorn and Chelsea Whalley were honored prior to Saturday's doubleheader with ETSU. While Senior Day normally sparks a wide range of emotions, it was especially bittersweet for Whalley, who has been unable to compete due to an injury since mid-March.
"It was a very special day for me," Whalley said. "Obviously I couldn't play, so that was hard, but more importantly, my teammates were so supportive and took the energy I wanted to take to the field. That meant so much to me."
After a long video tribute on the message board, the two seniors were presented with flowers and gifts from their teammates. Whalley, an Alberta native, was also treated to the Canadian national anthem, which was sung via recording by her sister, Marissa.
"(Marissa) just had jaw surgery and she can barely open her mouth," Whalley said. "She's not allowed to fly down here and be with me, and she is my best friend. For her to do that for me was the best feeling in the world."
Whalley and Cleghorn's former temmate Jill Semento carried the Canadian flag onto the field for the national anthem.
"Jill's a close friend of both Jordan and myself, so that was great," Whalley said. "My teammates, my coaches, my parents, everyone went above and beyond every aspect of the day."
"It was so emotional," Cleghorn said. "These group of girls have been so awesome and it's going to be so hard to leave them, but they really made my senior year awesome."

So Prez Obama is visiting Burma, right now. He's going to meet Thein Sein, the president.
He might also meet this guy, one of the two VPs, whom I shot earlier in January in a remote area:
Let me tell you a quick story about that one. This was shot in Nagaland, near the indian border, which is a "brown zone" which few people do visit.
Access is granted by authorities to groups, not individuals. Only company that's allowed to take you there is government-owned (which I didn't know).
So I joined a group that was going there for 5 days for the new year celebrations. The program was extremely vague, the organisation was real flaky, and I didn't know what to expect before I ended up in Leshi.
Once there, I learned that some fo the Government's big cheeses would come to attend the celebration. Cool beans, I thought – I came to photograph the local people, not anything else.
So the VP, some ministers and other apparatchiks flew in in army helicopters, people from the local tribes were more or less lined up to sing and dance.
There was a lot of military personnel, police, and TV crews to cover all that.
And they were really interested in us, those TV crews.
Most of us foreigners got interviewed and were given seats in the VIP tribune and were greeted by the authorities, VP included.
It became obvious that it was all a big PR show, so I stopped covering the event and went back to shoot the local tribe people inst
ead, it was way more interesting and that's why I went there anyway.
The whole thing was big news on burmese TV, we discovered that later on as we saw ourselves on TV when we got back to "civilization" (as in: stranded in a place that has a bar with a TV set). The takeaway message from TV news was "look at that, we're opening up and making good progress on reform.. even in really remote areas, the tourists are free to come here, etc".
Well… free, my arse. We were essentially locked up in a village.
A friend and I tried to go visit another village than the one we were parked into. No way. The whole area was blocked by the army, from which we wouldn't get clearance.
We tried to arrange two motorcycles and drivers to sneak through the net and go visit nearby villages, but it became clear that it was not really worth taking the risk of getting in trouble with the authorities in this part of the world.
So much for the evening news' PR message.
Still with me?
The point is this: It's great that Obama is visiting the country. The lady is now free, and it's true that Burma is opening up. Great news, especially for business people.
But please, whenever Burmese authorities say they are taking big steps toward more freedom, take it with a pinch of salt. I hate to be a party pooper, but…
Things are improving, of course, but an awful lot remains to be done, especially when it comes to the people themselves.
How about the borders? How about the Brown and Black zones, the ones that are under control of the army to various degrees?
How about all those political prisoners?
How about the Rohingya and other minorities?
What's going on in Kachin, Karen, and Rakhine states? In the golden triangle?
How is "reform" affecting the lives of ordinary people?
I'm sure president O will not only go there for Realpolitik and drop a few business cards, and will ask those questions too. Or not.

Monday, October 7, 2013
The Bishop England football team won its fourth consecutive game this past Friday night against Battery Creek, 17-0, behind a strong defensive effort.
The Battling Bishops held their region foe to 133 yards of offense, while putting up 349 of their own. Younger brother Lawton Fosberry caught a 30-yard touchdown pass from older brother Reed Fosberry in the first quarter to break the draw.
Bishop England (4-2 overall, 3-0 region) maintained that 7-0 advantage through halftime. Senior running back Nick Shiver scored on a 3-yard run in the third quarter to make the lead more comfortable. Kicker Matthew Mellin booted a 37-yard field goal in the fourth quarter for insurance.
Shiver finished with 96 rushing yards on 12 carries. Reed Fosberry threw for 113 yards and added 69 on the ground. Lawton Fosberry was the main beneficiary of the passing game, hauling in three of Reed's five completed passes for 95 yards.
Defensively, linemen Chandler Sambets and Hudson Little combined for 15 tackles, including three for losses. Four other players – Nick Vecchiolla, Chris Kraft, Richard Mahon and Jack Wilson – had at least five tackles.
Battery Creek dropped to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in region play. The Dolphins return to Beaufort for a home game against Woodland (6-0, 3-0) on Friday. Bishop England travels to Burke (0-6, 0-3) on Friday.

Breasts are made for use by mindless infants and are so powerful that they manage to reduce most adults to the same mental level. And while I'd like to promise that we'll get through this entire article without that mandatory CrackedBoobs shot from Kates Playground--
Editor: In your face, McKinney! And readers! And ourselves! (motorboat sounds)
Staring at breasts can reduce your IQ to something you can't even spell, let alone use, as proven by seven inventions that do for cleavage what cleavage does for intelligence tests.
#7. Breast-Boosting Waffle IronBreast Sculpting Apparatus, Patent Application #2007/0049473 A1 (2007)
Three Californians decided that the natural human breast wasn't good enough (a common thought in those parts), but instead of installing silicone, they built what looks like a power-armored brassiere.
You'll need a giant screwdriver to get to second base.
But this system doesn't sculpt chests by encasing them in iron and forcing them to comply. It unfolds into exercise apparatus that claims to build the bosom by exercising your arms.
We're fairly sure this is a vital part of the Iron Woman armor (for people who like good comics: Rescue Armor).
The patent admits that breasts can't be exercised, a ballsy admission for any breast-exercising patent. It goes on to explain that it's designed to work your pectoral muscles, and those will make your boobs look good enough. This is a dubious claim for a few reasons. Developed pecs give female bodybuilders boobs like male bodybuilders'. And we're pretty sure pectorals can't be trained with a double-barreled sandwich-maker, forcing us to conclude that this is an attempt to build the world's most sexist device by saying "You need bigger tits and should make me toasted sandwiches."
By their logic, all Subway employees should be double Ds. Especially the men.
They claim the invention achieves the exact same result as bench presses with dangerously heavy weights. When they can't see any effective difference between breasts and firm, rugged pecs, there's something the two male inventors should really know about themselves.
Which may explain why they fantasize about robot dicks ejaculating numbers.
#6. Patenting Second BaseMethod for the Enhancement of Breasts, Patent Application #US 2005/0215174 A1 (2005)
Modern breast enlargement techniques leave a lot to be desired, a double-entendre that Joseph Gagliano would almost certainly deliver with both of his thumbs pointed toward his "FBI: Federal Booby Inspector" T-shirt. Gagliano is the inventor behind a method that "is all-natural and involves no drugs, topical or oral compositions, hormones or surgery" because it consists entirely of pawing at breasts until they get bigger. He describes how women can do it for themselves in such loving detail that I think this "patent" was actually erotic fan fiction sent to the wrong address because he was typing with one hand.
Getty Editorial
If getting yourself groped made breasts bigger, Tila Tequila wouldn't have needed surgery.
The "detailed description" reads like a letter to Penthouse, telling women to find a room where they won't be disturbed and play some relaxing music, and suggesting that rubbing oil on their own naked breasts is absolutely fine with him. His descriptions are so tenderly detailed that you can actually hear the Barry White as you read. After a full page of breast massage, he suggests that it works even better with a partner. He stops just short of reminding female readers that his address is on the first page. Ladies. He's not so much applying to the patent office as attempting to seduce them. They should have charged sex chat rates for processing this.
He also thinks women might accidentally puncture themselves.
This is nothing less than an attempt to patent second base and masturbation. I can see intellectual property lawyers jumping out at teenagers in cars to serve an injunction, but only if the RIAA didn't get there first because they were both listening to the same MP3. Joseph points out that previous techniques have "left much to be desired or too much to be handled," proving that this patent has rolled way past free-association and into admitting his motives. The patent didn't include any images, for which the patent office should probably be grateful.
#5. Pillow With BreastsPillow With Breasts, Patent #US 7,386,902 B2 (2008)
This isn't so much an application for a patent as an appeal for emergency psychotherapy. The Pillow With Breasts a) looks like an erotic Doctor Who villain and b) claims that slightly rounded stuffing will work as a substitute for real human contact, and I don't know which is a more disturbing concept.
I'm not sure what the record is for minimum contact between a mother and a child, but I suspect that the inventor's mother gave birth to her through a steel funnel. Any human child left on this thing will wail like it's been abandoned, and it still won't be as desperate a cry for help as this document.
Of course the invisible baby above (Reed Richards is trying to remember where he left it) is just a cover story. When you're building fake tits for use in bed, pretending you're doing it for the children isn't helping, and you're probably risking arrest if you persist with that cover story. To find a precedent for that sort of creepiness, you have to go to the Japanese import market, and the box art for stuffed tit-cushions like the Nekomi Miu body pillow.
I have seen the face of loneliness, and it has GIANT EYES.
But even that can't match our cyclop-tit pillow, which also has the ability to dribble breast milk from its built-in nipple reservoir. Although we have to admit that this is probably the single greatest way to make sure no one sits next you on public transportation while sneaking a beverage on board in the only thing even TSA agents won't dare to grope.
#4. Breast-Molding Armor
Device for Molding the Breasts in the Contours and Forms Desired, Patent #2,061,268 (1936)
Nicolas Becker is determined to solve droopy breasts the way he solves all female problems: leashes and imprisonment. His invention contends that females who dare to exist without a perfect bosom shall be encased until they learn to behave. The patent continually refers to the "woman" in such a creepy, dehumanized way that you get the distinct impression it replaced the word "victim" from an earlier draft.
He demonstrates his interest in the comfort of women by having his areolal armor end with an abrupt edge pushed into the undercurve of the breast, although he can't be sure he'd ever talked to one before filing the patent. He goes into detail about how the rubberized shell should match the wearer's skin tone and texture, but since this was 1936, he might as well have imagined flying robotic concubines with RadioMatic Orgasmo-Rays. In 1936, they'd only just invented Scotch tape. An attempt at creating convincing fake flesh was coming more disturbingly ahead of its time than if Marty McFly had gone through with banging his own mom.
Universal Pictures
This invention was designed only to tell women, "Your breasts are abominations, now wear this undercurve-chafing harness for my amusement." Wonder Woman should be grateful DC didn't see this or she'd have an even worse costume.

Looking ahead: Elmo, puppets, Poppins & Norton Juster
Take out your calendars and mark the dates! Sesame Street Live: Elmo Makes Music is heading to Verizon Theatre along with an all-new Sesame Street Play Zone where kids can play an hour before the show, a new puppet production of Young King Arthur at Dallas Children's Theater, a touring production of Mary Poppins at Bass Hall and Norton Juster at the Dallas Symphony Orchestra for a composition inspired by The Phantom Tollbooth and more. I've got all the details in my Family Fun Looking Ahead column here.

The first rule is making sure your kids always know your rule for playing time. It doesn't matter if you are only going to play the best or if you are going to try to play everyone the same amount. As long as the kids know your rule that is what matters. Make sure they know before they sign up and on the any time you talk about playing time.
This year the approach I'm going to take is varsity team is the best are going to play. We want to win games, I know there will be some games when we are winning or losing by a lot and that is when I will get others playing time. But, the overall varsity team philosophy is to win so; I'm going to play the best in order to make that happen. But, the guys that will play have to be at practice if they want to see they field.
On the other hand JV is about development. I think we are at a stage where if the kids get good enough we need their help on varsity. In the next two years we hope that will be our middle school team. But, for now it is the JV team. We try to get all the boys that practice equal playing time, so they can develop. This helps making them the best they can be.
Is this the best way for your program? I don't know but sit down with your coaching staff and talk about the way you are going to approach this year's playing time. Then you can let the boys know and it will make everything run smoother when the season starts.
Now, I feel that players at the varsity level should be able to substitute on their own. The great teams don't need help they just play. I'm going to set up a way I want my team to substitute and they should be able to do that on their own. An example would be middies; it should go lines 1, then line 2, then line 3, then back to line 1. If they kids can't handle that we have other problems. After we got that under control in practice, with scrimmages then we will add in LSM and offensive and defensive middles. This way I can focus on the game and just coach. And if the game gets out of control we can make the rotation go line 3, 4, then 5 (middie lines). Then sub in the backup attack and defense.
I wanted to tell you about this because last year I spent so much time with the JV on subbing that I didn't get to coach as much as I wanted too. The other way is to have another coach handle the substitutions and you can coach the game. How ever you approach it have a plan. Have a passion about the way you want to deal with substitution and it should run smoothly in future.

The 5 Best One-Word Punchlines in Comedic History
I love comedy in all its shapes and sizes: slapstick, puns, amusing anecdotes, wry criticism, absurdity, satire, parody, and more. Each form of humor carries its own appeal, but I have a special fondness for one-word jokes.
PhotoObjects.net/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
Oh man, that's a good one.
What is a one-word joke? Well, I don't really know. I guess I mean a one-word punchline, ideally. But typically, in order for that one word to work, a lot of preparation has to happen first.
PhotoObjects.net/PhotoObjects.net/Getty Images
Except for shouting "POOP!" That's just gold every time.
I've been trying to write this column for months, but it was hard to pick my top five one-word comedy punchlines. I wanted to keep this a movie-based list, but as I asked various people their opinions, one entry from television kept coming up. Finally, I had to relent. Also, a tip for you, the reader: Don't try to have this discussion with dudes you don't know at public urinals. They don't like it.
#5. "Blucher!" from Young Frankenstein
Young Frankenstein, written by Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks and starring Gene Wilder, Marty Feldman, Cloris Leachman, Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, and Teri Garr, is one of the funniest comedies of all time. Don't believe me? Ask someone who believes me! Convinced? Thought so.
Anyway, Young Frankenstein tells the story of the famous monster maker's grandson -- a respected American medical doctor who has distanced himself from his grandfather's mad scientist roots. Nevertheless, when he lives in his now deceased grandfather's house and inherits his grandfather's staff, he too becomes obsessed with reanimating corpses.
The mansion is headed by Frau Blucher, a very stern and frightening woman that even horses seem afraid of. Every time her name is said, the horses freak out, which is a running gag in the movie. If you've never seen it, just download/rent/buy/whatever it, because this clip I found is really just a best of and it ruins the whole timing for the moment when Marty Feldman (as humble servant "Eye-Gore") just screams her last name deliberately to mess with the horses:
Note: I'll let you in on a little secret. Very often, what I would personally rank as the "best" or #1 entry on a list I'll stick in the last spot. Why? Well, I have what doctors refer to as "a terrible personality." Actually, I do it when that entry is the best at explaining the overall concept of the list so we're all on the same page at the get-go.
#4. "Her?" from Arrested Development
This is the only entry on the list that's not from a movie, and it's the response I got most often when quizzing people for their choices. Like all lovely people with exceptionally nice genitalia, I'm a huge Arrested Development fan. If you're not familiar with the show, read some of my columns about it. That won't really help you, but I always enjoy the page views. Thanks!
Anyway, "Her?" is a running gag on the show. George-Michael (portrayed by Michael Cera) has a girlfriend, Ann, whom no one seems to approve of. And even though George-Michael is seemingly no catch, the whole family is sure he can do better than Ann. Accordingly, everyone has the same one-word reaction when they learn who George-Michael is dating. You can jump to about three minutes in for a montage.
Season 4 might have had the best "Her?" joke of all, as Ann's father is a minister at the church of the Holy Eternal Rapture. The church name is abbreviated above her head on her wedding:

#3. "Groovy" from Evil Dead II
This suggestion came from Cracked's own Brendan McGinley! I know. It didn't really occur to me, because in my mind, Evil Dead II sits in the horror genre, but I have to say, it's a damn fine pick, because as anyone who's seen Evil Dead II knows, it's funny.
Evil Dead II follows the adventures of Ash (Bruce Campbell) as he battles evil forces in a cabin in the woods. Younger readers probably don't appreciate how important this movie is precisely because it was so influential. Just about every comically dark horror film of the last 20 years owes a debt to Evil Dead II. Now, when we see a trailer for the new Machete movie, we understand what kind of film we're in for. We're expecting tongue-in-cheek, ridiculously overdone absurdity and thrills. But when my friends and I watched Evil Dead II as kids, we couldn't fully believe what we were seeing. We watched it almost confused, wondering how the film was "allowed" to get made. Then we wondered why, if such awesomeness was possible, people didn't do it all the time.
The great one-word punchline of Evil Dead II is Ash's oft-quoted "groovy" once he transforms himself into a full-blown zombie killer, complete with sawed-off shotgun and chainsaw hand. But, y'know what, to really appreciate the buildup and release of the one-word gag, you need the horror that precedes it, so watch this first:
Yeah, he cut off his possessed hand. And now he means business:
I realize some of you just saw that for the first time. Feel free to name your firstborn after me. If you know it. It's not Marion, as Adam Tod Brown would have you believe.
