ckryan - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkThis is some of the best news I've heard in a while.
My perfect lappy would be something with a 14.1" IPS display at 16:10, somewhere in the neighborhood of 1440x900.
I don't think that is all that much to ask, and even eIPS is cool with me. Anything better than the awful TN panels out there.
I don't mind lower resolution as much in a laptop, at least to a certain extent. Windows 7 is ill-equipped to really make the most of high resolution displays in smaller screen sizes anyway. Reply

Why do people keep saying this? I've used Windows 7 with high DPI mode and it works flawlessly in my experience. Reply
freedom4556 - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkYou must be nearly blind. It works terribly in my experience across many different displays, VGAs, and DPI settings. It's not Windows' fault, the apps just don't play nice with a DPI change. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkI'd say it's probably about 50-50 for apps playing well with the DPI setting. Most MS apps are fine, obviously, and the web works well for me. But there are definitely major applications where playing with the DPI setting causes issues. I have a 30" LCD and for a while I used the 125% DPI setting, but eventually I got sick of the glitches here and there and went back to the default scaling. Reply
Samus - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkWindows 7 with big desktop icons and high dpi is no comparison to Windows xp's "stretch only supported GDI objects disproportionally to others". Reply
hemmy - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkI think Windows 7 is great with high-res displays. Everything looks so crisp and small with tons of open screen space. Reply
Machelios - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkIf only there was a hybrid hdd on this. Though, I think it is a bad decision to do only 1x4GB sticks. The performance will degrade in some applications. 2x2GB is better. I also wish there was an option without a CD Drive. The hinge problem is sad. It could have reached perfection.
oh... and FIRST!
I know you guys will hate. I cannot wait. Reply
kyuu - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkConsidering you're not actually first, I fully expect some hate as well. ;)
But I agree, I wish manufacturers would start including an option for a hybrid HDD. The thing I hate most about buying a laptop is having to pay for the crappy HDD they stick in which I'm going to want to swap out first thing. Reply

Being stupid is your fate. Now run along home and don't be late. Reply
peterfares - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - link1 4GB stick of RAM costs $20 or less. Just order it without any RAM stick and put the 4GB module in, leaving you with 2x4GB=8GB. 2GB soldered on would have been horrible. I'm already sick of 8GB and want 16GB in my laptop. I will when I get a sandy or ivy bridge laptop. My arrandale only supports 8GB. Reply
piroroadkill - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkA perfectly serviceable specification and a great display, for a reasonable enough price.
Everyone else needs to pay attention.. Reply
bunnyfubbles - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkthe screen, relative light weight (you'd be hard pressed to find any other 15+" lappy @ 5.4lbs let alone 4.4), and price really were what sold it for me
I was going to go with the 13.3" S series for its portability, and while the 13.3" S series 1600x900 screen was definitely a cut above all other PC laptops that are stuck with 1366x768, the 1080p IPS of the SE really was that much more gorgeous when comparing them side by side in store.
The HDD is a disappointment, however I just upgraded my desktop from a 128GB Crucial M4 to a pair of Samsung 830s, so I was able to plug that M4 into the laptop, as well as replace the 2GB module with a 4GB (was less than $20) for 8GB total. Those two simply hardware upgrades along with a reformat with only the essential software and drivers (all of which can be found pretty easily and conveniently from Sony's support site) lead to a very awesome overall computing experience.
The last upgrade I did was grabbed an external USB DAC. The Speakers on this laptop are extremely anemic, and the onboard sound leaves much to be desired. I have a Creative X-Fi GO! (was less than $30) for when gaming and chatting (has both plugs for headset and mic, laptop itself has only one jack so you can't have both headset and mic, and thus would have to rely on the built in mic on the laptop which is passable but not ideal) and my trusty FiiO E7 when just watching movies or listening to music
The 128GB SSD might not seem like much, but its certainly enough for the OS and apps, and no laptop will be able to satiate my gaming like my desktop, so very few games get installed to it anyway. Anything else (mostly large media files such as music and movies) can be handled via portable USB HDDs and flash thumbdrives, of which I converted the 640GB HDD to a portable drive with a portable 2.5" USB3.0 enclosure.

jigglywiggly - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkI'd take the tn panel 95% ntsc color gamut (The clevo one you were talking about) I have one in my np8130 and it is absolutely amazing. Contrast and brightness is most important thing imo, then viewing angles. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkI disagree. You're not going to be using a laptop for serious colour sensitive work, but you might have a laptop out to watch a video with a few friends sat around it. Reply
charleski - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkOn TN panels the gamma changes (usually dramatically) with even a slight movement off-axis. They're completely unsuitable for colour-sensitive work unless you're going to lock your head at the optimum position.
There certainly are people who need a decent portable screen for reviewing images, but the available options are very limited. Reply
Stacey Melissa - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkI'm not quite as worried about the hinge, but after three months with my base SE, I agree with the rest of the review, for the most part. I immediately swapped the HDD for a 128GB Crucial M4, and did a clean Win7 install, so performance is pretty good. I only get about 4 to 4.5 hours runtime, but I'm running the screen at fairly high brightness (82%) and turned off a couple obscure power-saving tricks. I'm very picky about noise. Luckily, fan noise is very low for my typical use, which involves browsing, Visual Studio, and video playback. I usually use a Targus wedge laptop cooler, which I don't plug in. Clicks are noisy. The trackpad is placed too far to the right, and I really miss two-finger scrolling. The keyboard is excellent, except for the spacebar, which often doesn't register left-side presses. It could use dedicated volume buttons. I like the manual graphics switching, except that it takes several seconds.
Bugs: Scrolling usually quits working after waking from hibernation. To fix, open the mouse control panel, and click OK. The BT hardware sometimes quits working upon resume, even after the driver update that supposedly fixes it. When running on battery, the DVD drive switches on and off regularly and often, which causes the standard hardware attachment/detachment sound notification.
The screen is easily the best I've used on a laptop. It also bests my old Dell 2405 desktop S-IPS in brightness, contrast, and of course sharpness, but not quite in gamut or accuracy. Reply

MrMaestro - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkI bet Dustin wouldn't have minded getting his hands on this laptop to review, how did AnandTech decide who had dibs? Coin toss? Rock-paper-scissors? Fight to the death? Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkDustin got the Z2, I got the SE... wasn't sure which would be better, but ultimately the Z2 is too costly for what you get and the keyboard doesn't appeal as much. Reply
slashbinslashbash - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkWhen I look at the MBP review, I see Windows laptops on some of the graphs and charts. Especially the ones about color gamut, etc. I would like to see a straight-up comparison. Put OSX *or* Windows on the MBP, MBA, etc. and include those numbers in the tests for battery life, display quality, heat, etc. I understand that some benchmarks only run on Windows, and even if they are available for OSX then it might not be fair to compare between the two because of the OS differences. I get it. So put Windows on an MBA or MBP using Boot Camp and include them in your comparisons. Some things, like h.264 playback battery life, might make sense to test under OSX and include as a direct comparison with Windows machines. Do that if you feel like it. If not, the same test with the MBP running Windows is good too.
Every laptop that is reviewed on AT, I eventually end up comparing to the MBP. Please make this easier for me to do so I'm not switching back and forth all the time. There are plenty of people out there who use a MBP as a Windows-only machine. (I'm not one of them, but I do run Windows 7 in Parallels.) The MBP has a reputation as setting a standard. Please start including it as such. No need for a full article on it, just start including the numbers in your charts. Thanks. Reply
ananduser - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkLet me make it easier. The mbp 13" with a 1280x TN screen, integrated graphics and 4 GB RAM costs 1200$(In Europe it costs about 1500$). Now compare it with this SE and every other suggestion at the end of this review. And if you're thinking about bootcamp, "add" at least a 30% battery penalty. Reply
kenyee - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkBesides crap displays, that's my other beef w/ laptops nowadays. I still want to shove 16GB in one for VMs, photoshop, premiere pro... Reply
zaccun - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkThen you should be buying a workstation machine with 4 slots for ram like a Lenovo W520!
(For real, that's what workstations are there for. And they even have good screen options, too.) Reply
Pirks - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkHence I immediately ordered it at store.sony.com, came out $1190 total with base + 6630 GPU + windows 7 pro + taxes + express delivery, plus FREE Sony dock station (promotion until April 14, hurry up folks!)
Hehe, this is something to pwn a few MacBook 15 toting friends of mine, I gonna have a few nasty surprises for them hehehee like much better IPS screen with better resolution and viewing angles, lighter weight and ability to extend battery life to 12 hours, I gonna enjoy their smug little faces when I'll be demoing this new baby to them hehee :))) Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, April 03, 2012 - linkOnly thing is that MBP15 is still built better than the VAIO SE, particularly on the cover/display/hinge. But in terms of bang for the buck, it's definitely a good laptop. Reply
ananduser - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkThe MBP15 is more expensive; pricewise, his acquisition should be compared with the entry level mbp13. I mean come on that entry level is a tough buy until a potential refresh later this year. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkWhich is what I imply when I say, "in terms of bang for the buck, it's definitely a good laptop." No one (sane) buys MBP because of value. You buy for the build quality and overall quality, and you buy to run OS X.
Personally, I hate using OS X -- I don't feel any urge to learn how to use it. I'd rather use Linux than OS X, but I don't even want to do that. I'm comfortable and happy with Windows, MacBooks lose battery life and other optimizations under Windows, so unless you want OS X with the option to run Windows on occasion, I'd find something non-Apple rather than going the Bootcamp route.

jmunjr - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkThe se13fx/b is the original version of the SE series that is basically identical aside from some minor CPU/GPU upgrades on the new Se2. Mine has the i5-2430M, 4GB RAM, 6470M and same display... So yeah you can get this laptop for well under $1000 from a very reputable vendor.
Oh and btw the Lenovo X220 with an IPS has sold for ~$750 on many occasions... Reply
jabber - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - link...seemed to give middling performance.
Still seems to be a toss up between a really good TN panel or a below average IPS as the best options.
Not a good position really. Reply
Snotling - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkMy only beef with sony is the lack of availability of keyboards other than english on many of their models. Why the hell did they send a 5400rpm drive equipped unit for review is a mystery to me. Maybe they just can't avoid being stupid. Reply
effingee - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - link"NVIDIA's Optimus Technology switches on-the-fly between IGP and discrete graphics as needed, you can still get driver updates from NVIDIA and Intel without worrying about compatibility issues"
Will those driver updates have to come through Sony? If so, it could take a while and they might only release a couple of them. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkNo, that's the beauty of Optimus: all the major OEMs participate in NVIDIA's Verde driver program, so basically every laptop with NVIDIA graphics (Optimus or discrete only) can use NVIDIA's reference drivers. The only laptops that aren't part of the Verde program (AFAIK) are laptops with manually switchable graphics--like the old ASUS UL80VT (I think that's the correct model) or the early Sony VAIO Z with GT 330M. Reply
Zoomer - Saturday, April 14, 2012 - linkManually switchable graphics does have an edge in compatibility. No software support is needed; but a reboot might be needed to switch graphics around. Reply
Christopher29 - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkThat was really kind review for this laptop - I mean THIS quality (or lack of it), faulty cooling design, flexible screen and overal issues that this hardware has ... it is Amazing that it got Editors Choice.
Well ... I highly recommend less "influenced" (biased?) reviews on notebookcheck.com. They do some serious tests and if something lacks quality, stablility (Anand do You really think that this laptop will not throttle down with this temps?) then it is always pointed clearly in bold, not "mildly mentioned".
I've also experienced many issues with those laptops, warranty policy is ridiculous, and there are (were) cases in court in my country regarding refuse to service laptops. Sony states that after selling laptops there is no their responsibility but only company that service for them is responsible and also decide whether free repair is granted or not. Also they will not exchange LCD if there are badpixels , less than three as I remember in "central part of screen". Servicing company for SONY is sued because they refuse to repair broken lcd (vaio hinge desing and lack of sturdines brought cracking tension to screens) here is link: http://www.twojeartykuly.info/rozne/laptop-sony-va... (Or english via GTranslate: http://translate.google.pl/translate?sl=pl&tl=... Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkFirst off, while this is AnandTech, Anand doesn't review all the hardware. I wrote the review, and I clearly spelled out the potential concerns. The hardware did not throttle for most use cases. If you want to run Furmark or do heavy 3D rendering or video encoding, then I'd stick with other options -- Dell's XPS 15 comes to mind as a competitive solution that can handle a quad-core CPU.
Claiming bias just because someone likes a laptop that you haven't even used or probably seen is... well, biased. As for Notebookcheck, all they have is links to external reviews of the same laptop, most of which give the SE an 80%+ rating. That's a pretty good score in my book.
Sounds like you just have an ax to grind with Sony, with your complaints about customer service, dead pixels, etc. If you buy a laptop in the US and you don't like it, you can pretty much always return it for a refund -- worst case you pay a 15% restocking fee. For Poland (I assume that's where you're from), maybe they're not as willing to take back hardware. But once again, you're biasing your review off of your own location.
VAIO SE summary:
Good IPS display, a display that's better than any TN laptop IMO, reasonable cost, good performance
Not perfect colors, questionable exhaust location, loose hinge
The editor's choice is almost purely for the virtue of including an IPS display for a laptop that costs less than $1000. There are many users who want exactly that. "OMG bias -- you like good displays!" Yup. Sorry. Reply
Zoomer - Saturday, April 14, 2012 - linkThe temps are likely a design decision, not random. The fan probably is running at the minimum speed while keeping temps below some threshold. Sony's engineers probably decided that 90-ish degrees is acceptable.
Screen wise, some idiot manager/marketer probably forced that through to shave an extra 0.5 mm off the thickness. Reply
Conficio - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkI'm really concerned about the hinge issue that Anand reports especially in combination with blocking the exhaust.
I see my current 2004 laptop die of heat issues and the hinge is really loose. I don't know if I want to go back to the same problems. The laptop before that died of hinge issues as well.
Also, why not offer this with an i3 and make the AMD Graphics optional. I really want to lower the entry price ~ $850 so I can swap the hard disk to external and replace it with an SSD internally. Then we are talking Sony! Reply
Conficio - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkApologies, should read "... that Jarred reports ..." Reply
Guppy - Saturday, April 07, 2012 - linkAnother issue with this particular type of design occurs when the thermal exhaust port is in the back of the notebook, and very close to the screen itself.
With prolonged exposure, the hot exhaust can end up producing a discolored patch on the LCD. I have a Compaq with a rear exhaust port that experienced significant darkening on the adjacent patch of the screen, which became noticeable after perhaps 7-8 years of use -- so it's a slow process, but will eventually happen if you keep the notebook around long enough. Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkFrom the way all of you at Anandtech go on and on and ON AND ON about IPS displays I was expecting WAY WAY more. There are TN panels in your chart that out-score the IPS panel. AND IPS panels have more latency. I am thoroughly confused as to why you STILL insist IPS is the way to go. Viewing angles are better, fine, I get that. But on a laptop I don't even want good viewing angles, I prefer for other people to not be able to, or at least have a hard time, seeing what I'm doing. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, April 04, 2012 - linkTN sucks for so many reasons, that any display that's not TN is almost certainly going to be better. Yes, a good TN panel can can deliver scores in an ideal setup that are better than a decent IPS panel (e.g. the VAIO SE LCD), but viewing angles REALLY matter for me on a laptop. As an example, I used an XPS 15 on a flight and because of the angle of the seat and laptop, I ended up needing to slouch down just to see the display properly. Sure, the display had theoretically better contrast and colors, but only if you're looking straight at the display.
As for latency, IPS is fine and anyone going on and on about latency in a display isn't talking about a laptop. "Oh no, I have 5ms more latency on my IPS display...on a laptop running at 25 FPS and moderate detail settings!" Furthermore, this isn't a gaming laptop, so there's no real concern with a fractional increase in latency. The only displays I've ever really had issues with on latency are S-PVA, but no one is putting those in laptops.
Finally, if you're worried about privacy, IPS has wider viewing angles and that would be "bad", but TN panels have reasonable viewing angles from the left and right as well so you don't even get privacy with them. It's only above and below that get completely whacked out on TN, and with a laptop on your *lap*, you will often end up with the "viewing from above" issue. If you really want privacy, don't sit next to people and use your laptop, tablet, or even a smartphone! Good luck with that....
Incidentally, I've used computers with "privacy screens" before, and while it does make it very difficult for anyone other than the person sitting right in front of the display to see what you're doing, such screens also look like crap. While you might want privacy, I'd rather the person next to me be able to glance over and see what movie I'm watching (or what I'm typing if they've got really good eyes and don't mind being rude) while I can actually enjoy the movie/work from a variety of angles. You'd have to be accessing very sensitive information to think that someone is going to spy on you and read it. It's pretty easy to tell when someone is staring at your laptop unless you're totally oblivious to your surroundings. "Um, excuse me, sir, but you've been staring at my computer for the past five minutes. Please go away." Reply
azntwboy - Thursday, April 05, 2012 - linkI took comparison shots of my own between the SE1, SA2, HTC desire, and HP monitor. there is no red at all on this screen. I can't even see the difference when viewing these photos on the SE. I have to look at them on my HTC. the violets do not show, and there is a yellow tint to everything. to reduce the yellow, I set in Intel graphics properties a hue shift of +8 and blue gamma to 1.2. HP reportedly will fix this problem but haven't said how yet. Sony won't tell me anything about it.
the SE also has a problem with the headphone jack. it will not work with headsets with microphones unless the plug sits inconveniently halfway out or the call answer button on the microphone is depressed. its odd because none of the older vaio I tested today in the Sony shop have this problem. I emailed Sony but they deny this problem exists. my vpcse13fx and the vpcse15gb in the shop both had this issue. someone on notebook review says he has this also on his se1. I wonder if its been fixed on the se2?
also note that se and sa have sata3 disabled on BIOS newer than r1031h4. you'll be stuck with sata2 unless you flash to the old BIOS. Reply
Guppy - Saturday, April 07, 2012 - link>>"the SE also has a problem with the headphone jack. it will not work with headsets with microphones unless the plug sits inconveniently halfway out"
This exact behavior can happen in certain cases where there are certain kinds of damage to your headphone's wiring (or the jack itself), I fixed an identical issue with my friend's laptop just recently (in his case, the defect was in the headphone wiring)
By hanging the plug partway out, you change where the segments of the plug make contact with their contacts -- I would recommend checking out the headphones and jack with a continuity tester for shorts and open pathways. Reply
azntwboy - Thursday, April 05, 2012 - linkOne other issue I have with the SE is the placement of the usb ports. They're too close together and I can't attach multiple usb drives because they're too wide for the too closely spaced ports. They're also inconveniently located on the right side where cables get in the way of my mouse.
I'm also getting a buzzing sound on my right speaker. It's only 2 days old.
I was trying to decide between the sa and se but I decided on the se. The se has much better viewing angles and contrast but had bad color problems and Is a bit big for traveling. The SA is the perfect size but the viewing angles are horrendous and colors are washed out. I think the perfect laptop would be the SA with a screen from the Z2. With both the SA and SE you can install your own drives, expand the RAM, and swap the odd with a hdd caddy.
The red problem is very disconcerting. Reply
thebumblebee - Thursday, April 05, 2012 - linkI got the Lenovo X220 with IPS display and i5 CPU (2.4 GHz) and 4GB Ram under a grand last June and nowadays you can buy it for even cheaper. Reply
yaxattax - Saturday, April 07, 2012 - linkI've got the SE and I installed Linux onto it. The first thing I have to say is that I don't use the switchable graphics, I run from the IGP all the time - as a result, I was led to believe the Stamina/Speed swwitch would be useless. This is not correct, and I discovered that the Speed/Stamina switch does something to change the thermal budget, as throttling will occur while the laptop is in Stamina mode, but it goes away as soon as the switch is moved to the Speed position. I don't know if this switch is changing thermal budget via BIOS (by being some kind of interface to motherboard jumpers), or if Linux has a driver to perform this based on the switch, but I observed the same behaviour in Windows.
Second of all, two finger scrolling. Two finger scolling works just fine in Linux, which means that the drivers for windows are not very good. This is probably a result of the base hardware in the touchpad already having support in Linux.
I did as recommended in this review, and performed memory and SSD upgrades by hand, as it was cheaper. I took a gamble with the memory, hoping to be able to replace two SO-DIMMS, but I found out the hard way that 4GB is soldered in, which is a shame as I wanted to fit 16GB in, but 12GB is reasonable.
I love the display, the viewing angles are fantastic and I'm not finding myself distracted by contrast shifts, which was the main reason for my choosing of this model. Reply
tyrion - Tuesday, June 19, 2012 - linkHow is the noise level on linux? Does the fan come on under load, or is it on constanstly? What's your subjective opinion about the noise? I'd like to buy this thing if I knew, it was relatively quiet. Reply
azntwboy - Saturday, April 07, 2012 - linkIf anyone has done accurate color calibration, could you please share the color profile with us and instructions how to use them? For the reviewer Jarred, did you calibrate during your color tests? Any improvement? Reply
azntwboy - Saturday, April 07, 2012 - linkNotebook check had an icc color profile in their review.
On my vpcse13fx the profile is pretty good, and makes the colors a bit more accurate, although red is still not there. It's still a bit yellow so in intel graphics properties on top of the notebook check ICC color profile I changed this setting:
Blue brightness +4

Kangaroo leads Florida police on 12-hour chase
Florida deputy police officer Gene Smith thought the calls about a kangaroo on the loosewere part of a prank.
But WTSP reports that the story was true, a five-foot-tall, 200-pound kangaroo was hopping around U.S. highway 301 in Pasco County.
"Sure enough, there was a kangaroo in the middle of the road," Smith told the station, noting that it was the strangest call he'd received during 17 years on the force. "It was a pretty big and extremely strong animal," Smith says. "It wasn't until I grabbed those legs that I realized just how strong they were. It doesn't look like that on TV."
In fact, the kangaroo was so strong that police weren't having any luck catching it. They, along with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Pasco County Sheriff's Office Agricultural Unit, tried a number of approaches to wrangle in the marsupial without seriously injuring it. Even tranquilizers were not slowing the creature down.
"We attempted to Taser the kangaroo," Smith said. "That had no effect."
Eventually, local resident Kevin Wehling, who said he has experience wrangling animals, assisted them.
"I bounced it off of a chain link fence and it went to the ground and I decided it wasn't going to get up," Wehling told the station. "I was mainly worried about its back legs, and then another deputy jumped on it from there, and it was just a big dog pile after that."
Kangaroos typically do not attack humans unless provoked. Although an Australian politician was recently knocked down and scratched during a confrontation with a kangaroo while the politician was out for a morning jog.
However, they can become more aggressive when hungry or thirsty. Or, in this case, when they find themselves in a strange environment with a team of police officers hunting them down.
"I believe [the kangaroo] was pretty drugged up. I don't think I would have dove on it if it would have been un-drugged," Wehling said about why he took the risk of jumping on the kangaroo. "Once you get on top of one of them, on the belly and all that, if you can control the legs, you'll be all right."
Police still have no idea who owns the kangaroo and have temporarily placed it in the care of a veterinarian who has experience handling them. Technically, you can own a kangaroo in the Sunshine State if you have the right permits. So, in theory, wildlife officials should be able to narrow the field and pinpoint where the stray kangaroo came from.

Schools Can No Longer Ticket Students for Disciplinary Violations
A vestige of the discredited school 'zero tolerance' policies of the last decade is now history in Texas. 1200 WOAI news reprots that a measure approved by lawmakers and which took effect on Sunday strips ISD police officers from writing tickets to students for disciplinary offenses, like running in the hallways or engaging in pushing and shoving in the locker room.
Jennifer Calderon of the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, who fought for the new law, says it dates back to the years after the 1999 Columbine Massacre, when school administrators thought the best way to protect students was to crack down hard on all types of behaviors.
"Policies such as 'zero tolerance'," Calderon said.
In addition to embarrassing episodes like the Straight-A honor student being suspended because she had two Midol in her backpack because, hey, it's 'zero tolerance,' and there's nothing we can do about it, ISD police forces were beefed up and were given the responsibility of doing what twenty years ago would have been done by the principal and maybe a paddle.
But Calderon says this led to a disturbing 'school to prison pipeline' which was unfairly singling out minority students. A survey done several years ago showed that 80% of African American high school students in Texas had been ticketed for at least one disciplinary offense.
"We are very happy to see that the Texas Legislature is supportive of progressive sanctions, instead of criminalizing adolescent behavior," she said.
ISD police officers will still be able to write traffic tickets, and will be able to ticket students for offenses which would be a crime outside the school, like any type of sexual assault.
But Calderon and other experts say the result of 'zero tolerance' is that when the student went to the Magistrate or JP court to pay the $150, he or she often didn't realize that they were pleading guilty to an adult court Class C misdemeanor.
That meant that in this day of more and more jobs requiring criminal background checks, students decades later could fail a criminal background check and not get a job due to an infraction in high school which should have been handled by the administration.
Calderon says the new law will empower school administrators by allowing them to adopt 'progressive sanction' against students who misbehave, without saddling them with a lifelong criminal record.
"Student contracts to review of objectionable behavior to bringing in parents, to community service," she said.

Taylor logs eight one-hit innings07/13/2013 12:24 AM ET
By Jake Seiner / MiLB.com
How good is Matt Taylor's sinker when he has the pitch working?
Over his last nine starts, he's allowed only two home runs. Those long balls came from Hickory teammates Joey Gallo and Ryan Rua, who have been battling each other for the Minor League lead most of the season.
So when Taylor took some of his best stuff into his Friday night start at Lexington, the Legends were faced with a difficult task. For a career-high eight innings, the Orioles prospect got the better of the battle, retiring 16 straight at one point while allowing just one hit.
Lexington got the last laugh, however, posting a 2-1, 14-inning victory over Delmarva.
It was the strongest performance of an encouraging season for Taylor, who lowered his ERA to 3.38.
"I think that from the beginning of the game, me and Wynston Sawyer, my catcher, had a game plan," he . "Our game plan really was to throw a lot of sinkers and then the changeup behind it. We stuck with that pretty much all game."
The 2011 fifth-round pick struck out five batters, walked three and has not allowed an earned run over 13 innings in his last two starts.
Taylor allowed a single to Royals No. 6 prospect Raul Mondesi in the first but induced a ground-ball double play a batter later as he faced the minimum over the first six innings.
The 22-year-old left-hander retired the next 16 batters before walking Mondesi, who stole second but was stranded as Mark Threlkeld struck out, Royals top prospect Bubba Starling walked and Cameron Gallagher flied to right field.
In the eighth, Taylor issued a two-out walk to Kenny Diekroeger, then retired Yowill Espinal on a groundout on his final pitch of the night.
Taylor recorded 12 outs on the ground and five in the air. While he did not allow any earned runs in his previous outing against Hagerstown, he did walk six batters while allowing four unearned runs on five hits over five innings.
Between starts, Taylor worked with pitching coach Justin Lord to correct some mechanical flaws he felt had shaken his fastball command.
"We went into the bullpen in between starts and hammered some things out," Taylor said. "I was working on getting my foot down earlier and letting everything happen out front. That's a big reason why I think things went well tonight."
The adjustment was one Taylor has occasionally had to make. When the 6-foot-1 southpaw has his timing in sync, his sinker command can be as good as it was Friday and the pitch also gets its maximum drop.
That extra polish has been especially key for Taylor this season as he's continued to adjust from relieving to starting. After signing with the Orioles in 2011, the Middle Georgia College product worked exclusively in relief in the Gulf Coast and New York-Penn leagues.
From there, he jumped to Delmarva, where he began last year in the bullpen. After posting a 3.73 ERA in 11 relief appearances, Taylor made the conversion to starting in late May. He allowed an earned run on five hits over six innings in his debut and compiled a 4.59 ERA in 12 starts to finish the season.
He's made 15 starts this year, logging 65 strikeouts and 41 walks while surrendering only three homers. As he made the conversion, Taylor based his between-start habits off what he saw last season from fellow Orioles farmhands Dylan Bundy and Tyler Wilson.
"I watched their work habits and the way they went from start to start," Taylor said. "I learned from them and I've carried that over to this year so I can try to be ready to take the ball every fifth day.
Friday's game remained scoreless into the 14th inning. The Shorebirds broke the tie in the top half, with Lucas Herbst driving in Sawyer with a single to left.
Lexington answered in the bottom of the inning. After Mondesi reached on a two-base error, Threlkeld doubled him home with the tying run. Threlkeld scored the winning run on Gallagher's single to center.
Lexington starter Crawford Simmons struck out 11 over six innings, holding Delmarva to three hits. The 22-year-old lefty had fanned only 16 in five South Atlantic League starts.

Then came the next day, it started out very, very nice. A few clouds in the sky to block the direct sun light, and no wind. But at about 10am after 3 pitches on the North Arete, the wind started to pick up a lot. Then sitting at a belay, i hear a yell from one of my party members, Dan. "i think we are going to start back down." When i got up to them, i look to the west and the sky had turned from a beautiful day to black clouds. So down we started, and after about 10 mins of setting up, it stated to snow, and got colder, and much winder. So we got down. The peak won the battle, but ill be back to win the war.

The Rirasu alphabet was created by Samantha Phillips to write her invented language, Vijyal. In Vijyal, "rirasu" translates to "that which is written". At first, old rirasu, or "kla umi" was a CV syllabary, however the number of glyphs required as well as the use of ending consonants caused this syllabary to be abandoned. Rirasu was created as a way to represent the sounds of Vijyal with as few glyphs as possible.
Each glyph is assigned to one or a set of sounds. For example, "t" has only one sound, [t], while "h" has three sounds [ɸ], [h], and [x], and "a" changes from [a] to [ɔ]. This occurs because of sound change within the language itself.

Licensed Pastoral Psychotherapist
133 Grove Street, Peterborough, New Hampshire 03458
One way to define psychotherapy is from its roots. Psycho comes from the word psyche, meaning soul. Therapy comes from the word to heal or to cure. Thus you might say that psychotherapy is "the cure of souls." This was a phrase the church used for pastoral care back in the days before there was the word, psychotherapy. We are not islands. All of us need to share and consult and reach out to others to understand ourselves and to work through problems and conflicts. Usually this takes place among friends or family. But sometimes it is more helpful to talk to a trained person who is unbiased and confidential and probably more objective than many of our friends and family. As psychotherapists, w

NZ Paper Refers to New US Ambassador as 'Former Nude Model'
After losing his Massachusetts Senate seat to Elizabeth Warren in 2012—and then failing to nab the New Hampshire seat in 2014—Scott Brown appears to have again found a political post.
President Trump on Thursday announced his intention to nominate Brown, an early Trump supporter, as ambassador to New Zealand, reports CBS Boston.
How is New Zealand taking the news? Its largest paper used the following headline earlier this week as Brown's name started to bubble up: "Man tipped for US ambassador role in NZ a former nude model who supports waterboarding." The nude modeling bit is a reference to this Cosmopolitan spread.

Social media is all about building relationships, a key component in NAEDA's mission to forge a partnership between dealers, farmers and consumers. It is based upon something NAEDA has been doing for generations; having conversations. Social media is nothing more than the conversations we are having online and the tools used to enhance them. This includes Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as starters.
NAEDA entered the world of social media on behalf of North American equipment dealers with a goal to share the news and views of the honest and hard-working individuals who help feed the world and to give the average consumer another way to communicate with equipment dealers. You can find us (NAEDA) at: www.naeda.com.
While NAEDA can speak on behalf of its members, there is no message that rings truer than that which comes from members themselves to their customers.
NAEDA wishes to thank the Ohio Farm Bureau for making their initial Discover your Social Web: An Ohio Farm Bureau Guide to Social Media publicly available. They were hoping to make it a valuable tool to Ohio Farm Bureau members, but little did they know the guide would become so quickly shared and distributed through not only Ohio, but the entire nation.
In the spirit of the social media habit of sharing, Ohio Farm Bureau has authorized NAEDA to copy, distribute and share this guide under some conditions. So, some graphics used in this copy of the guide are theirs and some have been inserted by NAEDA specifically for equipment dealer members.
Please enjoy the guide and share it with family, friends and strangers alike. But first, use it to join the online conversation and provide your unique point of view to the collective conscience. NAEDA again thanks the Ohio Farm Bureau for their permission to utilize their initial guide as a resource for dealers to learn more about using social media.

As of today (Thursday 5 March), 7 of the 28 ARV sites in the Free State are still not initiating new patients onto treatment.
Critical shortages in essential healthcare services and equipment continue. At Pelonomi Hospital in Bloemfontein, doctors have been using stationary stickers to close drips because they have not had access to vital medical equipment.
On Friday 27 February, TAC activists, led by Sello Mokhalipi, picketed outside the city hall in Bloemfontein. They held placards stating: 'Budget + antiretroviral treatment prolongs HIV-positive people's lives'; 'Please don't forget people living with HIV/AIDS', 'We want, we need and we demand treatment', and 'Stop the shortage of ARVs'.
COSATU and other civil society organisations supported the picket. No government officials responded to the demonstration, which was widely covered by the press.
Today in the Free State, an important meeting was held with civil society and government officials. In attendance were Minister of Health, Barbara Hogan, Free State MEC for Health, Sakhiwo Belot, Free State Head of the Health Department, Pax Ramela, and local representatives from NGOs (including TAC) in large numbers.
At the meeting, Hogan promised that the remaining 7 clinics would all be given access to ART by 1 April 2009.
A civil society meeting is planned for 11 March in the Free State. There, the reaction of civil society organisations to the ongoing crisis in the province will be co-ordinated and formalised.
TAC activists must continue to monitor the availability of ART in the Free State and in their districts.
TAC will continue the struggle for comprehensive healthcare for all, and will not allow the crisis in the Free State to be sidelined or forgotten.

By Rikki King Herald Writer
STANWOOD — Late last year, a Stanwood man bought a shiny midnight-blue 1933 Ford Coupe.
The car had been sold a few times, and the new owner wanted to learn more about its history.
The man parked the Coupe in his garage next to his other classic cars. He and some local car buffs got to talking. The Coupe came up.
At some point, someone said: Wait a minute. That sounds like Wayne Caldwell's car.
They got ahold of Caldwell at his home in Clallam County on the Olympic Peninsula. The Coupe he had owned for more than 40 years had been stolen in Seattle in 1999.
During the call, Caldwell sat down in disbelief.
"After all, it was 13 years," he said. "I kind of figured I wasn't going to see it again."
Then, he called police.
— — —
The Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force took the case. The unit combines investigators from the county sheriff's office and the Washington State Patrol. They specialize in recovering stolen cars and arresting car thieves.
The detectives believed the Coupe could be Caldwell's former race car, but they needed proof.
The Coupe rolled off the assembly line during the Great Depression. Caldwell bought the car in 1954, without an engine. He was the third owner. He still has the car's title from the second owner, dated 1947.
Caldwell drove the car for a couple of years. Then he took it racing at the Arlington drag strip.
After it was stolen, Caldwell posted "wanted" fliers around Seattle.
— — —
In October 1957, the now-defunct Northwest Rods Magazine wrote a story about Caldwell and his Coupe. Another article later that year included additional pictures.
After the man in Stanwood bought the car last year, he found the articles.
He talked to people he knew. Word got around.
A lot of the men who used to drag-race back in the day, they keep in touch, Caldwell said.
He knew it was his car. He had to prove it, though. It didn't take long.
He'd saved all his documents and photographs. He'd installed tinted blue windows. He'd moved the radiator cap inside, out of view. He'd installed a custom striped racing seat.
In January, Caldwell, who's now in his 70s, drove from his home in Sequim to meet with the task force in Everett.
He brought photographs, including 35mm slides taken in Arlington. He spread his files all over the briefing table. They needed another table to hold it all, task force detective Eric Fagan said.
They compared Caldwell's old photos to new ones. Even the stickers matched, including a residual outline on the car where one sticker had been.
"The matching 1957 and 2013 photographs of the Valvoline and Hilborn injector stickers on the left side of the firewall helped cinch the identification," Caldwell said.

There aren't a lot of leads, Fagan said last week. Someone out there knows something.
Whoever swiped the Coupe likely isn't the same kind of crook who boosts beaters in north Everett for joy rides. They knew what they were doing, said Washington State Patrol Sgt. Jason Longoria, who leads the task force. They might have known Caldwell.
"He truly loved that car," Longoria said. "He was just heartbroken."
— — —
After it disappeared, the car was sold to someone in Bremerton. Then it sat in a barn for awhile. Later, it was owned by someone in Everett for about 12 years, then someone in Arlington, and ended up in Stanwood.
The car was reported as stolen, but over the years, something happened. The car's identification numbers no longer matched the information in police records.
Buyers had no way of knowing the classic car was stolen, Fagan said. The Stanwood man, who paid $7,500 for the Coupe, had no idea. He couldn't be reached for this story.
One of Caldwell's old photos showed him "standing by the passenger side, standing all proud, back in his heyday," Fagan said.
This year, the detectives took another photo of the pair, in the same pose.
Caldwell thanked the detectives in story he wrote for the Sequim Valley Car Club newsletter.
"They really did a fine job," he said.
The task force was formed about five years ago. In 2012, the detectives recovered 109 stolen vehicles and arrested 36 suspected car thieves.
Caldwell took the Coupe home on Jan. 15. The Coupe was the oldest car the team has recovered so far.
"He had a nice little car hauler, and we pushed that thing up there, strapped it in and off he went," Fagan said.

Anyone who might have information about the 1999 disappearance of Wayne Caldwell's 1933 Ford Coupe can contact investigators at 425-388-3845.

I have ordered the 33gig tables on 9 dvds how do i use it to crack captured wpa files.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH! Thanks in advance.
You can use those files to run a checksum to check the integrity of the files, just google "how to check md5sum"
And you'll find alot more info than i can provide
I have ordered the 33gig tables on 9 dvds how do i use it to crack captured wpa files.
I DON'T KNOW MUCH! Thanks in advance.
I always download anything thats over 10 gigs that sound ub3rl33t like wpa rainbows tables even if I have no clue what its for or how to use it
Guess what pureh8te? me too :P
I agree that if you see something that seems cool on the street and you don't know what it is but you think it's cool anyway.. why not pick it up it? What'd be worse than walking past it and later on going..'damn - I should have picked that up! - that was a time transportation device!!!'
..total nightmare!
you are so nasty and dastard
THX 4 the tutorial even when did not try it yet.
Just for the record, if you are having troubles with 7zip SDK in Windows, make sure you specify the output file as "wpa_psk-h1kari_renderman.tar".
So the last input in the command should look like:
C:\LZMA457>lzma d c:\"file containing tar.lzma"\wpa_tables.tar.lzma c:\"file containing tar.lzma\wpa_psk-h1kari_renderman.tar

There are 1000 of the the top ESSID'S from Wigle hashed with a MILLION of the most common passwords and dictionary words.
I setup 5 Wireless AP'S at my house with WPA, and WPA2 configurations. I set 3 of them with some passwords I would have thought to be common, and the other 2 with tougher passwords.
The first three AP'S took me less than 4 seconds (each) to penetrate. The last 2 took the same amount of time, but one of the harder passwords didnt make it through.
The passwords that are in the Million password list, are all mixed between the minimum and maximun WPA length.
So, if you have a 2WIRE broadcast, you should be in luck.
Once the files were decompressed with 7zip SDK (in windows), I formatted an external drive with Partition Magic. The reason I used Partition Magic was because windows wouldnt let me format a 120GB HD to FAT32.
After formatting the HD to FAT32, I unzipped the .tar onto that drive, and because each file is under the max FAT32 file size, it worked out great.
Then I just copied them into my root folder in BT3, and followed bruckout22's directions.
After all is said and done, the 33GB file unzipped to close to 40GB.
The best place to get it is to download the torrent link from the projects in thechurchofwifi.

Iron Horse is best known for its Sparkling Wines, which have been served at the White House since 1985, beginning with the historic U.S.-Russian Summit Meetings ending the Cold War, at the White House Millennium celebrations ushering in the new century, and at the White House dinner honoring the Pope.
Their Chardonnay is considered a signature wine for the cool, foggy Green Valley region. Pinot Noir is the winery's rising star wine.
Iron Horse has been named an American icon in a reference book published by Random House called "Icons of the American Market Place". Listed in alphabetical order, Iron Horse takes its place between iPod and Jack Daniel's, validating Iron Horse's reputation as a brand backed by pride, passion and quality.
The Iron Horse name came from a train that cut across the property in the 1890s. The logo, the rampant horse on a weather vane, came from a 19th century weathervane found while clearing away the rubble to build the winery. View all Iron Horse Wines
About Russian RiverView a map of Russian River wineries
The Russian River Valley is named as such due to its proximity to the Russian River, the river itself named for the Russian fur traders who came down from Alaska in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The Russian River is agricultural land. While there is a focus on wine, beyond the vineyards are many small, family-owned farms cultivating everything from cattle to Christmas trees.
Notable FactsThe proximity of this cool river and the rolling fogs from the Pacific Ocean make the area amenable to cool-climate grapes like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In fact, the region is quite known for its full-bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir, as well as their ripe, yet lean Chardonnays. Within Russian River Valley lie the smaller appellations of Chalk Hill and Green Valley. Chalk Hill is the warmer of the two and furthest from the ocean, while Green Valley is cooler and closer to the water.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Moth-wing light fixtures? Thunderhead wallpaper? If you're an armchair naturalist, you'll love one of this year's big home decor trends.
Artists and artisans have captured flora, fauna and even meteorology in media such as photography, illustration, metal and clay. The designs, translated into wall decor and furnishings, range from startling to serene.
British designer Abigail Edwards, www.abigailedwards.com, has launched a new wallpaper design called Storm Clouds — ominous thunderheads printed on a gray or blue background, with white or copper metallic lightning bolts. Her Brambleweb paper depicts an Art Nouveau-meets-Gothic swirl of brambles tipped with tiny metallic thorns. And Wilson's Crystals are inspired by the work of Wilson Bentley, who spent half a century photographing snowflakes. The wallpaper features an intricate print of 30 snowflakes.
Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Christine Facella, www.beetleandflor.com, has used her experience as an illustrator and model-maker at New York's Museum of Natural History to inform her collection of porcelain animal skulls. The accuracy and intricacy of her work results from sculpting up to 20 molds for each piece.
Facella portrays many denizens of the North American wilderness, including coyotes, bobcats and beavers. The skulls are a compelling meld of antiquarian curiosity and contemporary objet d'art. The teeth on some gleam with 14-karat-gold luster.
Lighting sculptor David D'Imperio, www.daviddimperio.com, finds his inspiration in nature's structures: The organic geometry of moth wings, honeycombs and crystals gets turned into elegant and unusual lighting in the old post office in Stony Run, Pa., that D'Imperio has turned into a studio.
Pendants and chandeliers, as well as suspended linear fixtures, are crafted out of materials such as stainless steel and aluminum. D'Imperio's Ozone light is a 5-foot length of shimmering circles, like fizzy bubbles lit from within. Silver powder-coated steel and frosted Pyrex glass are transformed into the Neuron fixture for wall or ceiling. Hydra is an otherworldly chandelier done in a metallic blue-green; the designer was inspired by the microscopic denizens of the deep sea.
Parisian designer Gilles Caffier, www.gillescaffier.com, uses ceramics as the medium for pieces like the Turtle Lamp, whose earthen-hued base evokes the plump, ridged profile of a turtle shell. He makes textured stools and vases in matte ivory or graphite that resemble coral reefs, or perhaps barnacle-laden pier posts, or maybe octopi tentacles. That's the wonderful thing about nature: so much scope for imagination.

Are you running airodump-ng when deathenticating the Client thats connected to the AP. Once you deathenticated the Client, in Airodump at the top right you should see handshake (numbers)
I am trying to crack my own WPA key. I know my key and I placed my key in the wordlist. I then captured some packets and I am guessing I gained the four way handshake(or have I?). Please see image below.
I then performed different ways in aircrack.
and it says that my password is not in the list. Any thoughts?Code:aircrack-ng -e AP_SID -w dictionary_file capture_file OR aircrack-ng -e AP_SID -b AP_MAC -w dictionary_file capture_file OR aircrack-ng -b AP_MAC -w dictionary_file capture_file
Are you running airodump-ng when deathenticating the Client thats connected to the AP. Once you deathenticated the Client, in Airodump at the top right you should see handshake (numbers)
Your capture appears to contain the 4-way handshake. Are you specifying the WPA attack when using aircrack-ng? I don't use aircrack to recover WPA, so I don't know the option off the top of my head. Just look for it in the output of aircrack-ng --help.
Have you checked your dictionary to make sure it doesn't contain extra characters such as a new line character? Open the dictionary up in vi and see if the extra characters exists. If they are present, you can remove them using dos2unix.
If the dictionary is fine and it still doesn't work, try cowpatty (which is what I usually use) and see if that will recover the password.
Good Luck...
anymore alternatives besides from cowpatty and aircrack-ng. Cowpatty gives me a buffer overflow when I ran it.
I tried googling the error but all posts was unanswered.Code:Collected all necessary data to mount crack against WPA/PSK passphrase. Starting dictionary attack. Please be patient. *** buffer overflow detected ***: ./cowpatty terminated ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(__fortify_fail+0x48)[0xb7dc9558] /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6[0xb7dc7680] ./cowpatty[0x804b307] ./cowpatty[0x804b5dc] ./cowpatty[0x804b708] ./cowpatty[0x8049e56] and so on...
Not very big 6.6 kb o.0
I dont think its with the dictionary. Theres probably something wrong with my compilation or the version of libcap I had or so but still haven't figured out the root of the problem as of yet.
After using cowpatty(finally working) via backtrack live still no results. It told me that my password was not in the dictionary even though I know for a fact it is. Does this mean that I did not actually have the 4 way handshake?
BTW I tried capturing and cracking 2x.
just use this, it works normally for me:
aircrack-ng -w (dictionary file) (cap file)
aircrack-ng -w dictionary.txt wpa-01.cap
unless there's a reason you're specifying the -b and -e options. i believe when you use the cap file it detects the bssid and essid from there.

KNOLLS AWARENESS: Rocktober is Arts Month in Long Beach. Nationally, it's also Clergy Appreciation Month, Filipino American History Month, Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender History Month, National Cyber Security Awareness Month, Auto Battery Safety Month and National Squirrel Awareness Month. We need more months for all these months. Either that or tone down our hyperawareness of things.
Let's stick to arts for our opening item this week: First Fridays in Bixby Knolls is paying particular attention to arts this evening, showcasing local painters, photographers, musicians and writers along the uptown stretch of Atlantic Avenue.
Virtually all the businesses from Carson Street to San Antonio Drive participate in the monthly Bixby Knolls awareness bash. Here are five fun activities we've selected for you tonight:
1. See and hear the fabulous Sea Funk Brass Band at Aura Thai, 4085 Atlantic Ave.
2. Buy a limited-edition zombie T-shirt at Long Beach Clothing Co., 4218 Atlantic Ave.
3. See a live sword-fight show at 6:30 p.m. at the Goad Theater, 4250 Atlantic Ave.
4. Celebrate the 131st birthday of the Knolls Ranger at Oh Very Young, 4378 Atlantic Ave.
5. Groove on about a dozen classic cars from the Sultans Car Club at Melinda McCoy's Flowers (611 E. Carson St.).
BLESS THE ANIMALS: An alpaca, a donkey and a pot-bellied pig walk into a bar. Inside, sitting on stools, there's a Catholic priest, a Lutheran pastor and a Universal Life reverend. The pot-bellied pig hops up on a stool, orders an old-fashioned and then sneezes.
"Bless you," say all the clergypeople. We didn't say it was going to be a joke.
And so it goes for the 11th year as more than 300 animals, including those we just mentioned, will be blessed by various people of the cloth, including those we just mentioned, in Saturday's Interfaith Blessing of the Animals at 6 p.m. on the beach at the foot of Granada Avenue in Belmont Shore.
Bring your pet to the free event to join the procession of some 300 animals down a 100-foot red carpet to be blessed by as many of the clergy members as you want - it's always wise to hedge your bets.
The blessing is hosted by - we hope you're sitting down - Justin Rudd's nonprofit Community Action Team.
St. Pancratius Parish in Lakewood is also having a Blessing of the Animals on Saturday in honor of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals. The blessings begin at 9 a.m. at 3519 St. Pancratius Place, on the sports field behind the school.
Animals need to be on leashes or in carriers. Animals that bite or could cause any danger to those in attendance should not be brought. Get more information at 562-634-6111 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
