Audie Award Finalist, Humor, 2014
From the unique perspective of David Sedaris comes a new collection of essays taking his listeners on a bizarre and stimulating world tour. From the perils of French dentistry to the eating habits of the Australian kookaburra, from the squat-style toilets of Beijing to the particular wilderness of a North Carolina Costco, we learn about the absurdity and delight of a curious traveler's experiences. Whether railing against the habits of litterers in the English countryside or marveling over a disembodied human arm in a taxidermist's shop, Sedaris takes us on side-splitting adventures that are not to be forgotten.
©2013 David Sedaris (P)2013 Hachette Audio
"Sedaris is the preeminent humorist of his generation." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Devout Fan Disappointed"
When I discovered David Sedaris I was elated, devouring everything he'd written, preferably in audio format so I could enjoy his delivery. He is a witty genius exploring life experiences for humorous, thought provoking, and snarky effect.
This book however produced fewer laugh-out-loud moments instead turning out the occasional chuckle and a few smiles. Listening is like visiting an old friend who doesn't have much new to share; maybe the well is dry for now. A full length book should have been replaced with an article or two in the New Yorker.
The transition music was long and eerie, not in keeping with the tone for the content. Also, his delivery wasn't as fervent and immediate as in earlier performances.
Still love David, and am not frustrated I used my credit. My advice to those who enter is this...don't expect the same initial high from his earlier work and enjoy the nostalgia. His body of work is phenomenal and am hopeful for future writings.
Audible brings the printed word to vibrant life. It's such fun to listen while driving or doing the chores.
"Prescription for The Blues"
I read this book after a day of thwarted effort, and it was a perfect escape, a pleasurable dive into David Sedaris's quirky, sharply observed, and often hilarious world.
Audiobooks offer a more intimate, warmer reading experience than the printed page, and Mr. Sedaris's work is a perfect fit for Audible. He performs well, and possesses the gift of mimicry, and hearing him read his own writing heightens the reading experience for the listener, makes it more immediate and alive.
I also like the musical stings that set up each essay reading in the audiobook, but the sound capture on some of the live performance segments wasn't very good. Not a show-stopper but I don't need to hear a audience clapping or laughing to find a given segment funny.
The audio may enhance the work, but the content is what really draws you in and holds you. Mr. Sedaris takes the humdrum and turns it into an opportunity to learn, to observe an unfolding cultural narrative. The simple act of standing in line to board a plane becomes a broad comedy of social manners; his interaction with a telemarketer from a far-away place launches him into an unexpected and poignant story about white privilege in the American south.
Mr. Sedaris writes about personal stuff, but never self-indulgently. Coming of age, his troubles with addiction, his personal obsessions, all are inputs into his essays. But his writing makes them so much more than personal family anecdotes: they have the ring of familiarity, of a universal cultural experience, especially for baby boomers.
Many of us recognize The Father who can only criticize and challenge and sometimes beat the son, and, more broadly, the struggle to communicate that exists in families. He also explores the enormous power that families have to define us, to give meaning to our lives.
Mr. Sedaris comments about his lifelong daily diarizing habit as recording life rather than living it. But his voice is that of someone watching in puzzlement and appreciation, not judgment or a sense of aggrievement.
My favourite essays in the book involve his everyday experience as an American abroad, where ordinary errands become adventures in cultural and social exploration.
At times, the humour is laced with empathy. At other times, the author employs more edgy satire. This is especially apparent in the essays at the end, where he skewers the politics of hatred and bigotry, taking the idea to absurd extremes. I found these stories less interesting because I think they are pure imagination, rather than grounded in observation and experience. Similarly, his dog poems, like the title itself, seemed contrived to me, and this is why I gave this wonderful book a rating of 4 instead of 5.
Since I buy David Sedaris's books not for their titles, but for his unique voice, his wonderful storytelling, comic timing, and brilliant turns of phrase--and I'm still laughing about his description of Australia as "Canada in a thong"--I'd highly recommend "Let's Explore Diabetes With Owls".
"He Not Talk So Pretty"
The first time I heard Sedaris, I thought I was listening to the funniest, most clever and original humorist since the early years of George Carlin and Steve Martin, whose live performances had you leaning on complete strangers to help support your racked-with-laughter body to keep you off the floor. Forget polite sophisticated chuckles--these were open-mouthed, tears down your cheeks, ugly-faced guffaws. You never finished a drink before the carbonation went flat...you knew there'd not be even one safe second to swallow before an explosive laugh might send that sparkly beverage spraying out your nose. Sedaris even had the added unique ability to get you laughing at those never before funny, tough memories we all share--those growing up rights of passage moments that elicit laughter through tears. He was (and is) that good at observing life and the ridiculous humor in the everyday.
Maybe I've lost my funny bone, but it seemed like something was missing with this latest collection. I never felt the urge to rewind and listen again, and at times found myself giving an obligatory chuckle out of respect for a comedic genius that has shared better comedy. He is still observant and witty; several of the pieces were great, but there was not much that seemed new and crisp, nothing to catch you off guard and slap you silly. There's a dusty air of reflection, even melancholy, in a few of the pieces that set a tone that stayed with me, in spite of some sunnier funnier bits. But then, maybe unfairly, I always compare his latest to his greatest, the one that had me afraid to drink a Coke even alone at home--Me Talk Pretty One Day; several guffaws better that hooting it up here with the owls.
Fans of Sedaris will still enjoy this, and will probably get plenty of laughs that make it worth the price of admission. Anything that can lift our spirits, give us a little enjoyment, and make us smile is worthwhile, afterall. *Worth mentioning: not a great or consistent production. As usual, there are live bits which you expect to be a little tougher to listen to, but even the studio recorded pieces are tinny and inferior.
"Started out great....but fizzled"
This book starts out funny and witty in wonderful Sedaris style, but then gets very political. I turn off the TV to get away from all the different view points. I barely made it to the end.
Join me on GoodReads too!
"Perfect Medicine"
This was the perfect book for my mood. After plodding though "Crime and Punishment", I needed a light pick me up and this collection of comical essays did the trick!
Regarding the performance, just like in "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" the laughs in the live-stand-up-speeches are BEYOND irritating.

"Not For The Easily Offended"
Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedarius is a collection of irreverent, but drily humorous essays and stand up comedic performances. Some of the content was creative, clever, and fresh. Some was not. This listen is not for the easily offended.
"I love David Sedaris!"
Hysterical, sharp, witty
He has some of the best timing!
I always find David Sedaris to have a unique perspective on life. Even when he is cruel he is funny.
Entertainment business executive, love to listen to audio books as I traverse the LA freeway system.
"Good book, however I think David needs help"
Enjoyed that each chapter was its own story or essay. David gives a well timed 'performance' or reading that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Less negative stories about his father. I get it, I get it, he was a jerk that could care less about David - however the 5th time I have to hear about some related story that his father was so terrible honestly got annoying. It became a cheap running joke and I found myself fast forwarding past any story involving the relationship with this father.
No - not meant for that format.
"Told in the style of a 6.5 hour NPR broadcast"
Not overtly funny, subtle and relaxing like an NPR broadcast (I love NPR by the way). Not quite enough meat to merit a $ book.
No real standout moment, an average life told with subtle humor. The standard suburban kid story. Not funnier or more eventful than your average life. I expected more from a published autobiography. He takes average experiences and retells them without adding much additional humor. Its mildly amusing.
The narration, like the story, was uneventful. Not bad, not great. Told in the stereotypical even cadence and tone of a Saturday Night Live NPR skit.
I didn't know much about Mr Sedaris, I bought the book because of the best seller status (mistake I know) and its classification as humor/bio a genre I like. I feel I got a full taste but found nothing worthy of a book.
Its not bad, not great. He seems like a nice man and there is some humor there. Its not a terribly emotional story or narration. The story is better in snippets versus a marathon listen. Its decent enough to listen to in the car if you are driving at a time when NPR isn't broadcasting talk. If you drive during mornings and afternoons, save your money and listen to NPR, you will get the same experience for free.
"Non-stop laughter"
There aren't a lot of books I'd go back and listen to multiple times, but there are a few. There are definitely some stories in this one I would revisit and share with a friend or two.
I find it very difficult to choose just one, but the two stories that I liked the best were the one about Obama being elected and the Europeans thinking it would never happen because Americans are too racist and the one where he talks about traveling abroad and learning German from the language recordings. Oh... and the young father with the special t-shirt in the airport. Can't forget that.
Not only is he a wonderful writer, but he is a very entertaining narrator. He tells the stories in an almost acerbic manner, but so humorously. The thoughts he describes going through his head are so much like what I think, and I'm sure anyone else who enjoys him. This is a man that I would absolutely love to encounter in an airport or coffee shop and spend some time bitching about other people.
I enjoy listening to books while I do my grocery shopping. I go alone, so I like to disappear into my head. I use a set of bluetooth headphones and you can't see them under my long hair. I was listening to one of his stories while shopping the other day and noticed that a lot of people kept smiling at me. Then I realized that they thought I was smiling at them because I just couldn't stop laughing at David. They either thought I was extremely friendly or completely mental. Either way, I enjoyed that shopping trip very much.
I'm very glad my friend suggested David Sedaris to me. I'd never heard of him, but I will be enjoying him from now on.

Gene Editing in Human Embryos
We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.

We, both in the church and in broader society, need to think carefully together about how new technology should be used, even as we give thanks for the fruitfulness of modern science, medicine, and technology.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The scientific theory of evolution does not claim that currently existing species have evolved from each other. Rather, the claim is that species today evolved from common ancestors.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.

Experimenting with That Paleo (Caveman) Diet -- with Diabetes
For the month of January, I gave up eating all grains, dairy, artificial sweeteners, natural sweeteners (except fruit), and legumes. Did I discover that I have some kind of crazy gluten/lactose/stevia intolerance? Nope.
I went Paleo.
Many in the Diabetes Community have been talking about the Paleo diet lately, and it seems the trend is growing among those fellow PWDs interested in investigating new ways of eating. You know, it's what is dubbed the "Caveman…

Wilson Tour Ikon Women's Shoe Review
Wilson Tour Ikon Women's Shoe Scores | |
Comfort | 4.7 |
Ventilation | 3.7 |
Arch Support | 3.9 |
Foot Support/Stability | 2.9 |
Overall Sole Durability | 4.0 |
Toe Durability | 4.4 |
Traction | 4.0 |
Weight | 3.5 |
Overall | 3.7 |
- No break-in comfort
- Plush cushioning
- Durability
- Mediocre stability
The Wilson Tour Ikon provides comfort and support from the first step. Our playtesters loved the cushioning and found the out-of-the-box comfort lasted the length of playtest. Issues, though, arose with the high-riding feel of the shoes. The height of the shoes off the ground made our playtesters feel unstable and unsure of their movement, and the testers didn't get to test out the traction as well as they would have liked because of some hesitation. The Tour Ikon was impressive in the durability department and is backed by a six-month durability guarantee. Our playtesters didn't mind the weight and could move without feeling weighed down, though they thought the weight was slightly more noticeable due to the overall bulky feel of the shoe. In the end, the Wilson Tour Ikon found its niche as a comfortable shoe that provides plush cushioning and lasting durability.
Comfort - Score: 4.7
With ReactiveGel and DST Foam, the Tour Ikon soothed our testers' feet. For Siobhan, the cushioning was the most enjoyable characteristic of this shoe. She said, "This shoe felt great right out of the box with good cushioning and padding, both within the shoe and around the ankle collar. It was comfortable to move in, even after long training periods, and with no break-in period, who could ask for more?!"
Karly agreed, saying, "My favorite thing about these shoes was the cushioning. Right out of the box the Tour Ikons were extremely comfortable shoes. I found myself wearing them around a lot longer than I normally would after hitting. They were extremely soft, well padded and had lots of cushioning - now I'd say that's a good recipe for a very comfortable shoe."
Ventilation - Score: 3.7
Featuring a combination of synthetic leather and mesh, the Tour Ikon's ventilation features were sufficient to keep our playtesters' feet feeling fresh during play. Karly found the ventilation adequate on the Tour Ikons, saying, "After looking at the shoe I wasn't expecting much ventilation (if any at all) because of all the padding and the fairly dense upper. But I think they did an OK job keeping my feet ventilated. There were times when my feet felt a little heated, though it wasn't enough to bother me or make me want to change socks."
Siobhan liked how her feet felt in these shoes. She said, "Ventilation was fine. To be honest, I didn't really notice it that much, which is always a good thing. Breathability was definitely adequate, and while my feet weren't necessarily cool, they never overheated."
Arch Support - Score: 3.9
Though the arch support sits lower than medium in the Tour Ikon, our testers had no issues. Finding the arch support average but supportive was Karly. She said, "They definitely weren't the highest of arches, but they also didn't cause any issues for me. My feet never ached while playing in them, and that's really all I could ask for from an insole."
Siobhan liked the comfort provided over the period of a match, saying, "Again, I have nothing to complain about. The support wasn't the best I've ever felt (it's always nice to feel the arch there a little bit more), but if I'm judging it by comfort over the period of a match, this shoe was more than adequate."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 2.9
The plush cushioning helped contribute to a higher ride in the Tour Ikon, and our playtesters felt a little unstable and unwilling to move as aggressively as they would have liked. Karly didn't find the stability to be up to standard. She said, "Stable would probably be one of the last words to come to mind when describing these shoes. I felt too high off the ground to feel any kind of stability. These shoes didn't give me much confidence to move aggressively, and I became very hesitant when changing directions. Unfortunately, most of the time I was focusing on trying not to roll an ankle rather than making my shots."
Agreeing with Karly, Siobhan said, "I didn't like the feeling of being higher off the ground than I'm used to. I associate a low ride with speed-friendly shoes that encourage aggressive movements. I felt OK moving in them, but I wouldn't take the same movement risks that I normally would. With normal movement, doubles or rallying, everything was great, but I just didn't feel like these shoes were conducive to really aggressive footwork or direction changes."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 4.0
The Tour Ikon's durability was impressive. Siobhan thought the shoes had minimal wear and smoothing after the playtest. She said, "They have good durability. I put in a lot of hours on these shoes, and at the end of the playtest they were still in good condition. A tiny bit of wear on the edge of the toe, which is where I usually see it, but nothing more than minimal."
Karly liked the durability but noticed a little bit of balding. She said, "I noticed a little bit of wear after a few hours of play, but I definitely thought they offered better than average durability. Most of the damage was toward the toe, and from the balls of my feet down to the heel the shoes still look new. It was probably the drastic slant of the upper part of the sole that kept me on my toes while playing and caused that wear."
Toe Durability - Score: 4.4
The toes also held up well during the playtest. Karly thought that the shoes provided excellent coverage around the toes. She said, "I was really impressed with how the toe bumper still looks brand new. I don't think I have to worry about causing any wear to the toe box because of the very protective material on the upper."
Traction - Score: 4.0
Traction on this shoe got the short straw, as the playtesters were too nervous to really test it out. Siobhan enjoyed the traction of the Tour Ikon when she was rallying. She said, "The traction was actually good, although I think that because of the issue I had with stability I wasn't able to push it as much as I would have liked, and I wasn't really able to see how good the traction was. But on that note, the moving I did do was without slippage or sliding."
Karly was also hesitant. She offered, "I'd say the shoe had decent traction. I was able to get a nice grip on the court and never came close to sliding. However, because of the lack of foot support I was too afraid of rolling an ankle to really put the traction to the full test."
Weight - Score: 3.5
The Tour Ikon's weight was acceptable, but our testers felt it could have benefited from being a couple of grams lighter. Karly thought the shoe played slightly heavier than its actual weight, saying, "The high-off-the-ground feel might've contributed to it, but I thought these shoes slowed me down a little more than other shoes that are in the same weight category. I also thought that the extra padding made the shoe feel bulky and clunky, two words that I generally try to avoid when picking out a speedy shoe."
Siobhan also found the shoe to be a little heavier than she liked. She said, "It was a little heavier, but it wasn't too heavy. I've definitely played in heavier, but it wasn't as light as I personally like. It's not that I was necessarily slower, I just felt like the design and the weight didn't translate to really fast movements."
Overall - Score: 3.7
Karly - "The cushioning made it hard for me to take these shoes off! With all its padding, I wasn't sure if I was wearing shoes or pillows on my feet."
Siobhan - "They were comfortable and offered good durability."
Karly -"The stability needed improvement. I was afraid to make any quick lateral movements due to the high-off-the-ground feel and the low support around my ankles."
Siobhan - "I didn't feel comfortable moving aggressively and changing directions due to the elevation off the ground, and the shoes felt a little bulky and heavy, which added to the problem."
Comparing the Tour Ikon to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Karly - "The cushioning reminded me of the Barricade 7s. Both shoes provided a great amount of padding, making them very comfortable shoes to wear on the court."
Siobhan - "The weight and bulkiness reminded me of the Babolat Propulse 3, although they are definitely more comfort oriented and a little less streamlined."
Playtester Foot Types:
Karly - Medium width / Medium-low arch
Siobhan - Medium width / High arch

Artisan Diu
In Hanoi, Vietnam, where most people are raised to be farmers, there aren't a lot of vocational opportunities outside of agriculture. One stroke of bad luck can wipe out a year's worth of hard work -- drought or flood can destroy the year's crops, and the year's income. A lot of farmland is being purchased by developers of apartment buildings, leaving many farmers with no land, no vocational skills, and no source of income.
Craftbeauty is a fair trade craft organization that provides skills and a steady source of income to disadvantaged women who wouldn't otherwise have any options, including farming women, and women with disabilities. In Vietnam only about 15% of disabled persons receive training in vocational skills, and many end up unemployed and very poor. Craftbeauty offers these women (between the ages of 18 and 40 years old) a chance to learn about silk weaving, tailoring, embroidery, fashion, and quality control, and pays almost double the Vietnamese national livable wage. In addition to giving them a source of income, a skill set, and a safe workplace, these positions help the women retain their dignity, self worth, and confidence.

Buchholz looks to continue torrid start vs. Jays
First-place Red Sox finished April with best record in Majors
It's only May 1 and there is still plenty of baseball remaining in the season, but this series against the Red Sox matters to the Blue Jays.
It matters a lot.
"I guarantee it matters more for us than it matters for them, that's for sure," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "You have to play good in your division. That's no secret. You play them so often and we haven't gotten off to a good start that way. Our division's tough, and I think we anticipate the division will probably beat itself up over time, you at least have to hold your own."
The Red Sox lead the AL East and boast the best record in baseball, but this team is not satisfied. They are not taking the Blue Jays for granted and it doesn't matter where Toronto is in the standings.
"Regardless of recent play, we have complete respect for this team we are going up against," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Obviously they miss [Jose] Reyes at the top of that order, but this is still an explosive offense. This is a very good team that we feel has a lot of talent on it that we are going up against."
The Blue Jays will have their work cut out for them when Boston starter Clay Buchholz takes the hill Wednesday. The first five-win pitcher in the Majors this season, Buchholz is holding hitters to a .192 average. What's more, the right-hander has struck out more than a batter per inning while allowing just one home run.
And at the plate, David Ortiz has been on a tear. The Boston designated hitter carries a 21-game hit streak into this game, dating back to 2012.
Mark Buehrle's first month with the Blue Jays didn't go as planned. Three of his first five outings lasted 5 1/3 innings or fewer and he gave up at least five earned runs.
"I wouldn't worry about him," Gibbons said. "If you look at it, really what's happened, we've struggled in all different areas. Defensively is probably the most glaring, especially early on. There have been times we haven't hit, times when we've had real good pitching and there have been times when we've struggled. We're where we should be right now to be honest with you."
Buehrle allowed five runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Yankees in his previous start.
"Look at Mark's track record from the last 10 years, he's up there with the Halladays, Sabathias, the guys that won the most games, pitched the most innings," Gibbons said. "He's been as reliable as anybody in baseball."
Red Sox: Napoli a key cog to offense
• Mike Napoli, who went 0-for-4 Tuesday, set new club records for the month of April with 18 extra-base hits and 13 doubles.
• Shane Victorino, who has been out since Thursday with lower back stiffness, swung in the cage and hit off a tee Tuesday. The club will wait to see how he responds before deciding on whether to put him on the disabled list.
• Left-handed reliever Craig Breslow, who is on the disabled list with left shoulder tendinitis, will continue his rehab assignment with Triple-A Pawtucket on Thursday against Durham.
Blue Jays: Encarnacion swinging hot stick
• Edwin Encarnacion went 2-for-4 with a pair of two-run home runs Tuesday and is riding a season-high eight-game hitting streak. He is batting .357 with six home runs and 12 RBIs during that stretch.
• Jose Bautista went 1-for-2 with an RBI double Tuesday and has hit a home run in four of his last six games against the Red Sox dating back to last season. He's also homered eight times in his last 24 games against Boston.
• Josh Johnson and R.A. Dickey have been pushed back a day in the rotation because of lingering ailments.
Worth noting
• The Red Sox are 12-0 when scoring first this season.
• Bautista needs three more games to reach 1,000 games played in his career.
• The Red Sox finished the month of April with the best record in baseball for the 11th time in team history. The team went on to win the World Series the last time it finished with the best record in baseball in April.

Although it might sound more like a joke than an actual event, one such zebra-donkey hybrid (known as a zedonk) was born last week at a wildlife preserve in Northern Georgia. Born to a donkey mother and a zebra father, the zedonk filly displays characteristics of both parents. "Her conforma

Lens scratched after only a few rides
About 3-5 rides in and only after cleaning the glasses with the provided cloth, and a few times with my jersey, the lenses are scratched. For glasses as expensive as these they should be built from sturdier stuff.

Great Eye Protection at Top Speeds!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
A number of the guys and gals in my cycling group have the Oakley Racing Jackets, formerly known as the Jawbone. I was torn between these and the Radar Path glasses, I decided on the Racing Jackets, and here's why:
The Racing Jackets have a lower lip that extends below the bottom frame and provides a little more eye protection. I've taken a small rock to the face on more than one ride and know how easily a rock can fly up under a lens. The Radars don't have a lower lip and leaves some room for a rock to potentially sneak through and hit your eye.
It was a tough decision too because the Radar Path glasses give you a little more visibility by not having the lower lip.
Oakley uses a patented lens material they call Plutonite which is extremely durable and still blocks the UV Rays. After looking at the Oakley website, I learned that their Plutonite also provides exceptional visibility, which is important when going downhill at speeds over 50mph!
I sweat a lot and it's nice to quickly change my lenses at the group rendezvous point without hassle. The Racing Jackets make changing my lenses easy enough to swap in less than 2 minutes.
I wanted a good pair of glasses that I could count on for eye protection, great visibility, and general good looks and the Racing Jackets fit the bill.
+ Awesome Oakley Styling and Design
+ Swapping lenses is a snap and takes less than 2 minutes
+ Lower Lip on frame provides solid eye protection
+ Dropped numerous times without breaking the frame
+ Fits perfectly into Giro and other branded helmets
+ Easy to customize w/ Different colored Ear Socks, Thru Bolt, and Icons
- Sweat can get in your eyes if you look down too often
+ Water can clean lenses quickly
+ Bring a small cut piece of Microfiber w/ you to clean lenses
+ Bring replacement lenses to swap out on long rides
+ Wash with water regularly to prevent salt build up from sweat

This is a quick pic of the Racing Jackets in White. I changed the Ear Socks, Thru Bolt, and Oakley Icon to Gray from the Green that it came in originally. It's great that Oakley allows you to customize these frames with these accent accessories!

Where did you get the replacement Thru Bolt?
Hey Kevin...sorry for the lag in getting back to you. They were available at an Oakley Retail Store. That said, it would be awesome if Backcountry had them available. I would have bought them here.

Sport sunglasses at their best.

Oakley changed these over from the Jawbone, and that is what I am reviewing. It's the same product. I copped my blue pair with grey lenses on steepandcheap for $80 bucks so that was nice. I also ordered another pair of lenses from my local running store to use in lower light. After reading other reviews, I decided on the G30 lens, and I couldn't be happier. The pink tint with the iridium coating enhances contrast everywhere, and they look cool. I use the G30s most often, but I do sometimes use the grey in consistently bright conditions. The switchlock tech is easy to use and quick when you want to switch lenses. I will be getting a pair of radarlock paths for my next pair.

Mixed Feelings
- Gender: Male
I have two pairs of these and use them primarily for cycling. I have mixed feelings about them. I am a mountain biker, but I road ride on my MTB as well, to build my base and as an option when the trails are muddy in winter.
They look great on and provide great protection from wind and debris, even at higher speeds and on the fast descents. They don't leak light, and are pretty comfortable. The lenses are super easy to swap out, probably more so than any of my other shades.
All glasses, however, get compared to my benchmarks, my Radarlocks. The Racing Jackets feel heavier, tend to move around more, and definitely fog more, especially on long, sustained climbs when the weather is cool and damp (typical for the mornings here in coastal Southern California). I also find the lower portion of the frames to be somewhat distracting in my field of view. Sometimes it bothers me, sometimes it doesn't.
All said, I rotate them in and out of my starting lineup as my mood changes. They are solid shades, but the Radarlocks are still my favorite style.

Great Biking Shades
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these shades for mountain biking. The lenses are incredibly durable and offer good eye protection. These shades are not polarized, which I prefer for mountain biking. I find that polarized glasses give me headaches when I go through trees due to the alternating light and dark areas. These lenses allow for eyes to adjust better those transitions of light to dark. I also like how easy it is to change out the lenses, if it is cloudy out you can put in a high contrast lens that really brightens up the trail. If you have any questions about these glasses feel free to give me a call.
always happy to talk about bikes or gear or the weather. Whatever works! I?m here Mon, Tues and Friday 1:30-10pm MST and Saturday 9-5:30 as well as Sunday 10-7. I look forward to speaking with you.
Great point about the Polarized lenses...I'm not a fan of them either. Side note: did you know that Polarized blocks out naturally occurring rainbows?

Great mountain biking sunglasses
I love these shades for riding, they dont fog when you are moving, when you stop and do get some condensation, just start pedaling again and the airflow through the lens will clear out the fog. A great design that keeps you from pulling them off your face and wiping them down.
Debbie C
Also a great help with the sometimes fogging issue is *Oakley's "Nano-Clear Hydrophobic lens cleaner" from Oakley. It really helps, and of course is totally safe to use on all their lenses. I keep it in my pack (good to have on board to clean of mud, too, just rinse with some H2O from hydration pack, then clean...good to go!).
The best.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awesome sunglasses for active-wear. They fit snug, but they're not uncomfortable. They really stay in place and I don't have to constantly shift them like I have to with other sunglasses. The lenses are extremely easy to swap out even on the go. When the trail turns to snow, I can swap out to a darker lens in just a few seconds right on the trail. The vented lenses don't fog up but still block the wind which is nice when you're riding at a steady 20mph pace while cycling. If you're looking for one pair of sunglasses that does it all, this is it.
Great Shades

I have owened 2 pairs of these shades. I lost my first pair of Jawbones on a ride and did not hesitate to buy a second. They are comfortable and block the wind very well. I mainly use them for cycling and running but I am sure they would be great for any sport or activity. I also have a pair of the photochromatic lenses which are fantastic. They are my go to lens for mountain biking with varying light conditions. I highly recommend these shades for any active person.

The Oakley Racing Jacket = Oakley's New Version of the Jawbones
The new Oakley Racing Jacket Sunglasses are great for everything from Cycling to Running to Golf or even just hanging out. For people looking for the Oakley Jawbones, the Racing Jacket is Oakley's new version Jawbone with some new features such as the retainer holes at the end of each arm. Great sunglasses that will go anywhere and do anything with ease - highly recommended.
Jake Randolph
Some High Speed Eyewear
With spoilers and vented lenses, these shades were meant to do fast things. They are pretty light and have much larger lenses than I had anticipated - probably closer to the size of a pair of Gascan lenses, but without all the bulk in the frame. They feel very comfortable when on my face, and hug tight enough to not come off but not too tight (I wear a medium sized helmet for comparison). If you do happen to be doing some really sketchy stuff, they do have an adjustable elastic strap that can be easily attached to ensure the security of your shades at high speeds. The shades also come with an Oakley zippered case which neatly holds your shades and a few pairs of spare lenses. Swapping lenses is very easy to do by simply lifting the locking nose piece and rotating the "jaw" away. Plus when wearing the lighter, persimmon lenses I certainly feel like I belong on an Olympic rifle team. I have been wearing these everywhere, and I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of interchangeables.
Don't think it twice Just buy it.
They are the same Jawbone style of my other ones but the colors of this ones and the way air gets in, not allowing any breath disturbance is great.
will the Jawbone lenses fit in the Racing...
will the Jawbone lenses fit in the Racing Jacket?
I spoke with Oakley and it turns out the lenses are compatible. This is for the Jawbone and new Racing jacket which looks exactly like the Jawbone except for the strap. Turns out the only difference is the icons are slightly larger on the Racing jacket. The arms are even interchangeable between the two.
Bozman, you are correct - our Oakley rep confirmed that the Jawbone lenses fit just fine in the Racing Jacket. The Jacket isn't a reboot, as it uses the same lens profile and frame geometry (the same molds, essentially) as the Jawbone.

AFP-NH rally decries flaws in Obamacare package
Around 60 people attended Saturday afternoon's rally at the Alpine Grove event center, including area legislators, business owners and residents.
Greg Moore, AFP-NH's state director, said the topic bears much discussion because of the uncertainty surrounding the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare."
"Those broken promises will have some serious consequences," Moore said. "Across the country, we're seeing premiums spiking, and nationwide, we could see our long-term debt rise to an estimated $6.2 trillion."
District 20 Rep. Ralph Boehm, also of Litchfield, concurred.
"If this legislation is so great, then why is everyone trying to get out of it," he asked, motioning to the growing crowd in the room.
"The more I learn, the more I realize there are some good aspects (of the ACA). But that doesn't make up for the unintended consequences," he said, noting part-time workers are excluded from the plan and that many companies, including United Parcel Service, have recently been forced to discontinue spousal coverage due to rising expenses.
"This law just wasn't meant to be done so quickly," he said. "A portion of Obamacare isn't being implemented: for instance, the recent hold-off on the employer mandate and the requirement for income validation.
"This is a 2,700-page document that was done in a purely partisan fashion," he said. email@example.com
