Completing a 5k, exploring a new trail, jogging before work in the morning. You take your running workouts seriously, right? So you should take your eye health seriously, too.
The right pair of sports-style running sunglasses will protect your eyes against UV rays, debris, and worst of all, sweaty foreheads. That way, you can keep your eyes on the finish line and run strong, no matter what.
Key Components of Running Sunglasses:
- Lightweight sunglasses will give you a barely-there feeling, so you can focus on the scenery — not your shades.
- Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection will allow you to go further by protecting your eyes from harmful rays, every step of the way.
- Prevent your sunglasses from slipping and bouncing by picking a pair that fits snugly on your face — look for rubber ear pieces and wraparound styles.
- Some running sunglasses have polarized lenses, which helps reduce glare from reflected surfaces and clarify your vision. Learn more about polarization here.
Lenses to Look For:
Before we dive into lens tints, it's important to note that the lenses themselves provide benefit to all runners by blocking irritating gusts of wind and debris, and the perks of tinted lenses are an added benefit!
Amber Lenses
- Increase contrast
- Improve clarity on overcast days
- Improve performance in nearly all environments
Smoke Lenses
- Reduce overall brightness on clear days
- Maintain color clarity
- Decrease glare
Yellow Lenses
- Improve focus by filtering out blue light
- Increase contrast on cloudy days
- Improve depth perception in conditions with dull lighting (like snowy days)
Polarized Lenses
- Reduce glare from all reflective surfaces
- Sharpen clarity of vision

The wireless communication industry is doing its part to help get the message out.
The Amber Alert, Levi's Call; no matter where you live or what it's called, when you see one of the alerts you know somewhere a family is in anguish, waiting and hoping for the return of their kidnapped child.
Agent Tom Berlinger, FDLE spokesperson, says, "Ideally, you want to get a kid back in an hour or two. From a statistical standpoint, if a child has been gone in excess of 24 hours, the outcome is usually never good."
FDLE says the message about a missing child needs to get out to the public fast to better the chances of getting them back safely, but speed is just one issue; the more people who know and are looking, the better.
Tom Berlinger says, "When they first started off, the alerts would go over TV or radio."
Now the wireless communication industry is going to help get that lifesaving message out via text messaging.
Marcia Laws with Graylink Wireless says, "Everybody these days has a cell phone. If you're not near a TV or radio, that's the easiest way to get the message across."
Tom Berlinger adds, "We also can sent them to alpha numeric pagers as well or blackberries."
Now the power is in your hands to put a quick end to what can sometimes be a terrifying experience for all involved.

Quick Q: anyone know of any sites that compare the mechanics of the newer suspension designs? I'm curious about how they work and why they make a difference.
Quick Q: anyone know of any sites that compare the mechanics of the newer suspension designs? I'm curious about how they work and why they make a difference.
That's a lie.
FC, this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it's not an adversitement, either -- follow the link below. It'll take you to a post by a guy who goes by 'Derby' who is into suspension and who's goal in life seems to be test riding every suspension design someone can come up with, and he manages some pretty decent analysis of them, too.Originally Posted by Funkychicken
If you go to their search engine, and search for suspension designs you're curious about, use his name in the Search by User Name box, you'll be off to a good start.
There is a guy that does a bunch of path analysis on his site, but I'm drawing a big blank -- I'll post it later if I can find it. The designs he reviews stop at VPP, though, and I consider some of his statements to be suspect, but it's worth looking at.
thanks guys. i was hearing a lot about maestro in the past couple of days and wondered how it was different to dw link, horst link and vpp, never really truly understood the effects of each design, but there's so many sites out there that tell you what they *claim* to achieve.
That's a lie.
Actually, he does:Originally Posted by Raiyn
The Tracer (since replaced by the Spyder) is an exact replica of the old Stumpjumper (pre 2004) design. Intense licensed the specs from Specialized and basically just copied their design in every conceivable way (my "primary" riding buddy rides an '02 Tracer so I'm VERY familiar with it.)The Intense Tracer is the best balances all around trail bike I've ever ridden. It bobs very little when seated or standing and pedaling hard and is superb handling and braking, and can be adjusted to be climbing oriented, a bit slacker angled for technical oriented, or sport race oriented, all in one bike.
Without mentioning the FSR design specifically, he does say that it's one of the best on the market through his review of the Tracer.

10 Projects | 15 Years | 22 Albums
No project has been forgotten, and if I had my way none would be left behind.
[H]ello. I'm so glad you stopped by. Behold, I have rendered memorable website paragraphs.
[H]ello. I'm so glad you stopped by. Behold, I have rendered memorable website paragraphs.
Over the past decade, I have stirred many frys. I have cut the lemongrass on the bias. Also, I have collaborated in different musical projects, and perfected a few studio recordings. No project has been forgotten, and if I had my way none would be left behind. My first solo album, Searchlights in Mexico (2008) was good fun. My second solo album, Light Up The Sky (2014), turned out slightly more complex, both musically and politically. Life has been good, though, mostly because I have found stability in adaptability. Read on for a fantastical history.
I was born in October 1981. My family is entirely supportive and mostly cool. In normal everyday life, I hear pop melodies and sectional transitions in my head. I sit, I drive, I chef, I imagine. Then I pick up my guitar, record a demo and show it to the musicians around me.
A cross college and beyond, I jumped at the chance to work with amazing random talent, both in terms of bandmates and producers. This website is being born in the year 2014.
By summer 2014, my second solo album was released, and I took a moment to reflect. The Tummybuckles were able to release our 3rd EP; A Crab's Life was able to release a debut album and an official music video; Huge Sally is still improbably reuniting on average once a year; new collaborations are springing up with Portland phenoms Dors Ward (The Baron Ward!), and also Joel Tomfohr, and also Jesse Tomaino; K8nPdx is on a video-making rampage; and I find myself content. I am found in Portland, Oregon, maintaining a weekly rotation of live performances in my favorite venues, with my favorite musical comrades.
And the items below are still of note.
Kris Farm
I remember working with Maryspeak in early 2004, a brilliant young alternative pop band with classic songs, timeless guitar and vocal hooks, and absolutely no group-desire to do anything with it. It was an improbable learning experience. We finished our still-unreleased album and individually went on to other things. Through this, I met music producer and current Webmaster Kris Farm. That is Mr. Farm to you. He is first and foremost an Old Soul Friend. And he is quite notable for another particular reason: he donated a computer to me in 2007 and encouraged me to make quick recordings of the songs I was writing... which turned into hundreds and hundreds of hours of demo material that cultured into the music of full albums. This same computer also had a Word Processing function, and it is with this that I am typing this very About.
Ryan Ferris
Cheers to Ryan Ferris in my many darkest hours of glory. Since acquaintancizing in 2001, Ryan and I have completed six full albums with three different bands. From 2009-2012, until his son George was born, once per week (sometimes more) we would meet at his studio in N Portland and work on various projects in progress. Because of Ryan Ferris and Kris Farm, I have grown obsessed with Recording, and Records, and Sound Capture. Ryan gave me opportunities to really explore the studio space, and I ended up playing drums, bass, synth, and various percussions for several songs on "Light Up The Sky" thanks to his quiet and encouraging support of the unknown and the sparks that guide a creative vision. The "Light Up The Sky" audio was eventually mastered by him, and the album is as much his as it is mine.
Evelate & Searchlights
Evelate was wild, unpredictable "rum rock", and marked my embrace of being a Front Man…a thing of reluctance for many years. Evelate recorded our first album live in the studio (fourteen songs, 2005), and recorded and mixed in the vocals the next day. Simple as that. Our second, more polished, self-titled album took three months, and turned out to lay the ground-work for what would become Searchlights. Searchlights featured Joe Bass and Dusty Beats. I introduced Joe and Dusty in 2009 for a studio project, and we got along so splendidly that we formed a new original project. Searchlights was a special band, not only for the Music and stage presence, but the personality blends and behind-the-scenes friendships. We took on the entire Evelate catalogue for our live show, and also recorded seventeen new songs overall from 2009-2012; engineered and co-produced by Ryan Ferris, and painstakingly mixed and remixed by Ryan, Dusty Beats and I over that three-year period. As things turned out, Searchlights was never able to package an album of our own. But, seven of the songs from the Ryan Ferris Sessions were placed onto Light Up The Sky, and thus the arc of my efforts continues to tie us all together. The remaining "official/unmastered" Searchlights tracks can be found in my Library on this website. I would not be the man I am today without these two.
Rob Lewis & Will Downing
In the fall of 2005, after an Evelate gig in Beaverton, I was approached by Rob Lewis for the first time. He introduced me to Will Downing, whose songs and personality blew me away, and we recorded three albums of Will's music together over the next seven years. Rob encouraged Me to write and record a solo album. He said that he would produce and promote it. I quit my job in the insurance industry in early 2007 and moved to Los Angeles to live with Kris Farm for 7 months. I wrote "Searchlights In Mexico", returned to Portland by that fall, and Rob stayed true to his word and co-produced the record with me. We also ended up co-producing Huge Sally's Cold-hearted Bastard (2008). Will and I continued to grow closer, but sadly, he passed away tragically in May 2012, just after completing his third studio album but before he had a chance to release it. Before he died, I was lucky enough to spend plenty of time with him down on Johnny's Farm in south Texas, in the dusty town of Mercedes, and he encouraged me tremendously to fight to get my music out there. He even funded a couple of tours out of his pocket, traveling with me in his car as sound man and promoter. Without Rob and Will, I would not have been able to accomplish what I have. Rob BELIEVED in the music, and its power and longevity, and so did Will. Both were brilliant, both were unafraid to take risks and stick their necks out, and I pay tribute to Will at almost every gig by covering a song of his and telling a quick story. Rob Lewis lives in northern Washington State, and although he is not involved in producing new music as much as he was, we will always be in touch.
Bad Austin
My trusted friend Russ Rochambeau, whom I have known well since 1994, started recording my live sets and archiving them with a project called BadAustin in 2009. Russ recorded Huge Sally, Searchlights, The Baron Ward, Disorderly Conduct, Idiot Science, and The Tummybuckles as part of a diabolical program we called "Bad Austin Sessions." Eventually, he co-produced three official albums with me: Huge Sally (self-titled, 2011; The Tummybuckles EP I (2011); and Live @ White Eagle (2014). Russ is an extremely valued friend, not to mention my go-to for live sound, live recordings, and graphic design. When you see this gentleman at a show, say hi to him and offer your finest beef jerky. Although BadAustin is currently inactive, Recordings live Forever…Russ was the first person to REALLY make me realize this.
From Raging Ocean To Glassy Seas
Evelate and my wildly aggressive foray into innovative song arrangements and chop-styles in 2005 set me on a nice course for a ROCKING future. Searchlights carried on this tradition until 2012. Idiot Science fed this weather with ferocious vocal training to accompany the upheaval in my personal life from 2009-2013. But in parallel, a softer and more emotional storytelling style was brewing under the surface. This side of me strengthened through the Huge Sally years and eventually led me to my alternative folk group The Tummybuckles. The Tummybuckles, who were aptly named, won hi-fives through Portland's iconic DoverLaff and Artichoke Music families. I might call the style some kind of exploration of classical music theory versus club-style rock & roll. My sentimental roots will always remain in raw and gutsy alternative bang-rock. However, the experience of an enthusiastic energy through the art of the delicate composition has found a welcome home with me. Majestic waves and weathers and moods turn with the seasons, if not with the hours. And I've found stability in adaptability.
"Huge Sally"
I can't say I've been in a huger band than Huge Sally, a collaborative funky folk duo with my great friend Jake Riggs from Austin TX. This man writes southern-roots-blues songs, and we achieved a collaborative style that I was excited to promote with all my might. The western US tours we went on (destination was usually SXSW in Austin) from 2007-2011 changed my life for the better forever, that is a true fact. Our first album, Cold-hearted Bastard (2006), was recorded by Ryan Ferris and featured a rock quartet, including Joel Tomfohr (of Idiot Science). Our second album, self-titled in 2012, was stripped down to two voices, two guitars, and was produced by Ryan, Russ Rochambeau, and myself. The second one captures most honestly what we sounded like across all those hundreds of shows. Check out Jake Riggs Music if you are ever in Austin!
"I always knew that I would tell the story of another, in as many ways as one"
When you are busking, you are on the side of the road, and you get sold. But the people strolling by, they don't know a thing about you. You get sold, and sell You to the sea on the patio…and you don't know a thing about them. You suffer them. Less time than you wanted to, but you are only there for a moment. You never knew them…you never had the time to know them. Only there for a moment; When you are busking, the people strolling by are experiencing a version of you that is both Instant and Timeless. Instant because they only "know" you for those few seconds or minutes that they care to notice something. Maybe it is your shirt, maybe it is your handmade sign, maybe it is a piece of your musical performance. Timeless because once they move on, you are a memory, and that can last as long as a lifetime. If I ever busk again, I need to remember this: On the side of the road, you get sold, but they don't know a thing about you.

Stress and Diabetes (cont.)
"In diabetes, because of either an absolute lack of insulin, such as type 1 diabetes, or a relative lack of insulin, such as type 2, there isn't enough insulin to cope with these hormones, so blood sugar levels rise," says Richard Surwit, PhD, vice chairman of the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Duke University Medical Center and author of The Mind Body Diabetes Revolution.
Anything upsetting like going through a breakup or being laid off is certainly emotionally draining. Being down with the flu or suffering from a urinary tract infection places physical stress on the body. It's generally these longer-term stressors that tax your system and have much more effect on blood sugar levels.
The problem may be compounded because under these pressures, you may lose your appetite and skimp on eating, or reach for not-so healthy quick fixes like candy or chips. Some people actually "stress eat" (overeat during stressful periods). Others skip their daily workout because they're too strained or run down to keep it up, which can create a vicious cycle since exercise is an excellent way to lower blood sugar.
"The most important thing is to learn what it feels like when stress hormones are elevated," Sledge tells WebMD. For some diabetic people, prolonged illness or distress will keep their blood sugar levels up for lengthy periods of time. Often insulin will be needed or adjusted during this period, so recognizing periods of stress is crucial for people with diabetes.
Since stress has virtually become a way of life, you may not even notice you're frazzled. A lot of people will identify stressors such as an illness in the family (something large) but may not recognize the stress of the holidays or a hectic time at work (something smaller or shorter in duration). Being in tune to your stress level and how you feel when the going gets tense is important. One good gauge is writing down your stress level in a journal each time you check your blood sugar. Many glucose meters have the capability to enter personal notes and data when you perform checks, or jot it down in a stress journal. "Once you begin recording stress levels, most people with diabetes figure out pretty quickly what makes their blood sugar go up," says Surwit.
Learn to De-stress
"Stress plays a more direct role in the control of blood sugar than it does in any other disease," Surwit tells WebMD. People with diabetes should stay conscious of eating well and exercising regularly. It's a good idea to check blood glucose levels more frequently when you're ill or under stress and to drink plenty of fluids as so as not to get dehydrated.

Both goalies were pulled, and really every odd man rush on both sides was an adventure. This is why sometimes numbers can be thrown out the window with the lock slammed shut.

Tuesday was one of those spectacular mornings to ride, nearly (but not quite) warm enough to go without leg warmers. Did manage to use regular gloves though! Kevin (the kid, not the pilot) didn't make it, having had trouble sleeping (one of those mornings where you wake him up and it's "Dad, no"), but pilot Kevin was there, along with Karen, Eric, Marcus & George. Nothing too fast, just a nice conversational pace. Mildly disappointed about that; kind of interested in how long I can keep my times up Kings improving.
Thursday was not quite such an awesome-looking morning, with heavy "marine layer" making Skyline sopping wet in places. The big surprise was the return of Karl! We didn't know he was out there until getting to the top of Kings (Kevin the kid got there first, after ditching the Pilot and Karen on the way there, while I was chillin' at the back with Eric). Things started getting nicer towards the end of the ride, with a dry descent on 84.
Thankfully, the weekend looks nice. A bit breezy; certainly not a good day for a "normal" Pescadero/Tunitas run (heading north into the headwind would not be fun!). If we were in better shape, we could take advantage of what will likely be a killer tail wind heading to Santa Cruz! That would be pushing things just a bit much right now. Perhaps reverse Pescadero with West Alpine. –Mike–

This game is beyond is great.
Quick question, is there a way you can make the super gameboy colors standard on the next patch? In other words, make it so the colors will work regardless of what emulator is used. I'm on GBC.EMU for iPhone, a port of Gamebatte, which is a great emulator, but fails to have options for the colors. That would mean so much if you were to do that, along with fixing the glitched Pokemon and trainer back sprites.
Thanks for all your hard work, CoolBoyMan!

'Fresh Air' at 20: Anthropologist Robert Murphy
Fresh Air went national in 1987, and we're celebrating that 20th anniversary by revisiting some classic broadcasts. In this segment: Anthropologist Robert Murphy. In 1972, his body began to twinge with muscle spasms that wouldn't go away; doctors discovered a debilitating tumor growing on his spinal cord.
Murphy was a professor of anthropology at Columbia University at the time, and as his condition worsened, his interest in the social and cultural consequences of paralysis deepened. He became the subject of his own field research. The result was his award winning book, The Body Silent: The Different World of the Disabled, published in 1987. Murphy died in October 1990. Rebroadcast from May 13, 1987.

Thunder-Clippers: How OKC was done in by CP333333333
The Thunder had climbed back within 15 points, which on this scary Monday night constituted a tight game, considering the Clippers had led by as many as 24 in the first half.
The Clippers' little general, Chris Paul, had the ball in the corner, and for once in this defensive-deficient game, was somewhat covered. CP3 shot it anyway. With Russell Westbrook providing some of the little resistance seen all night, Paul fired away, falling backwards. Swish. The verdict was sealed barely two minutes into the second half.
The Clippers routed the Thunder 122-105 in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, a game not nearly as close as the final score indicated.
This was the Clippers' night. More to the point, this was Paul's night. The quarterback scored touchdowns. The chef ate big. The guy who is known for passing the ball passed it, sure, but he also tossed it into the hoop with amazing accuracy. Paul made his first eight 3-point shots, setting an NBA playoff record, and finished 8-of-9 from deep, to score 32 points and send the Thunder home in a daze.
"That is a lot," Paul said. "One of those nights, I promise you … this will definitely go down in the history of books for me. Don't count on it in Game 2."
Better not have a repeat in Game 2, or this Thunder season is headed for a quick end. Paul is deadly enough when he's not making like Seth Curry. The Clips are unbeatable when Paul not only distributes the ball (10 assists Monday night) but scores 32 points on 14 shots without so much as a single foul shot.
"I thought he really set the tone for us to start the game," said Clipper coach Doc Rivers. "I thought he went downhill a lot (with his drives). That's what we've been telling him to do. Quick decisions, move the ball. His being aggressive really set the tone from the start of the game. We needed it."
Paul often gets a ton of points on drives and fouls. But Monday night, his penetration led to kickouts that led to quick passes that led to Paul getting back the ball wide open for a trey.
Big buddy Blake Griffin detected Paul's magic night and refrained from his patented rolls to the hoop. Instead, Griffin went looking for screens to free CP3.
"When somebody's got it going like that, you just want to try to stay out of the way as much as possible, as well as keep that fire going," Griffin said. "The first quarter was crazy. We were just trying to spring him, get him open."
The Thunder was hot early. Led 16-10 less than five minutes into the game. Paul had zero shots and zero assists. Then Rivers called timeout, and everything changed.
Paul hit J.J. Redick for an open 3-pointer. Then Paul drilled a 3-pointer to tie the game. A minute later, he hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give LA a 24-20 lead. Two more 3-pointers came in the final two minutes of the quarter. That's five 3-pointers in the first period. The Clippers had a 39-25 lead, and this game effectively was over.
"We started the game off, they were hitting jump shots," Kevin Durant said. "We didn't come out nonchalant. They hit some shots, kind of loosened our defense up … we had good intentions. But they got hot."
Paul is some kind of player. Heck, he was a great offensive player back in his Oklahoma City days, when he couldn't shoot. Remember what we figured out a month into that maiden Hornet season in OKC. The kid rookie needs to shoot more.
Now that Paul is an old man (he turned 29 Tuesday), a perennial all-star, it's still solid advice. The Clippers rode his shooting to an easy victory and now lead the series.
"He hit some tough shots," said Westbrook. "We can live with that."
Live with that. Or die by that. We shall see.

This will be his 2nd loan from Tujijenge Tanzania. He used the previous loan to increase the business stock, started selling juice, water and sodas and has paid back his loan successfully. He wants a loan to buy a sack of Irish potatoes, one sack of charcoal and a small bucket of cooking oil. His dream is to one day be able to own a restaurant in a building.
He will share this loan with his loan group "Kilimanjaro" which has a total of 16 members who will hold each other accountable in paying back their loans.
Additional Information
About Tujijenge TanzaniaThis loan is administered by Tujijenge Tanzania, which was founded in 2006. It has operations in Dar es Salaam, the coastal region, and the Lake Victoria region. The organization aims to reach out to micro entrepreneurs and provide them with financial and social intermediation services because capital is one of the major barriers to development and success for micro-enterprise initiatives in Tanzania.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Investigators might not know for days what caused the death of a man who was discovered inside a car, but they say the death was not a homicide.
The body of Dustin Kimbrell, 29, Muncie, was discovered about 9 p.m. Tuesday inside a car in a parking lot at 125 Airport Parkway in Greenwood.
Investigators did not have a cause of death as of Wednesday night and were waiting on the results of toxicology tests, but the death no longer was being investigated as a homicide, Johnson County Coroner Craig Lutz said.
Greenwood police and the Johnson County coroner initially investigated the death as a homicide, Greenwood Police Department Assistant Chief Matthew Fillenwarth said.
An autopsy was conducted Wednesday afternoon to determine the cause of death. Police are investigating what happened and have found no signs of foul play, Fillenwarth said.
A friend of the man found him in a car parked at an office building on Airport Parkway, which is just off of Main Street, Fillenwarth said.
Detectives got a warrant so they could search the car and were tracking down the man's last activities as well as who he was with. They also were trying to find out if the man had any medical conditions, Fillenwarth said.
"There's tons of background stuff to do," he said.

Apr 1 2011Not April Fools :( Bagged Keychain Turtles
Hang in there, Michelangelo!
As reported back in June 2008, Chinese street vendors have been selling bagged keychain fish for awhile now, but have since also moved to keychain turtles. WTF!?!? Zombie Jonathan is probably crying his lil' turtle-liking heart out right now!
Filled with colored water, each 7-centimeter long key ring encapsulated either one Brazil turtle or two small kingfish, and is filled with "nutrient rich" water, by which vendors claim allow the animals to live for several months.
Several months?! Those poor bastards won't last a week! Sooooooooo -- hypothetically speaking, how long do you think a street vendor could last in a car trunk? Also, what's the rule about carry-ons filled with zip-ties and duct tape on international flights? I'm asking for a friend. Okay, five friends (f*** yeah Master Splinter's coming!)
A couple more pics of the sadness after the jump.

Hey, if your not vegan or at least vegetarian, STFU.
And yeah, this is an easily resolved situation... just buy all the turtles, cut open the bags, set them free. Oh, but you don't want to leave the vendors with cash in exchange for the turtles? Just draw a few $$'s on a piece of paper in green crayon, along with a few smiley faces with curly wigs. As if an elderly Chinese woman would know the difference, she's probably blind already!
This turtle-bagging is really sad and screwed up. Also, some of the above comments are pretty pathetic. Nothing like feeling superior by being racist!
Man all these people worried about a turtle in a bag, but likely don't even think about the abused immigrant that picks their vegetable. In a stew or in a bag the only good turtle is Leonardo.

I've read some of the people that had that happen to them, weren't even wearing real fur coats. I say just leave the people alone, if they're rich enough they'll go buy another fur coat, and then PETA just caused the death of another animal. Same with the turtles in the keychains. The vendors will just get more if they are messed with.
And I'm not saying that putting fish and turtles in keychains is right, but there should be some peaceful way of dealing with it rather than the crazier members of PETA going apeshit and destroying the stand, only for them to just go make another stand.
I'm sure that the people who buy them will just cut the bags open and keep them as pets. At least some of them, I hope.
I'm not a huge animal activist, but this is downright aweful. It hurts my heart to see those turtles in conditions like that :(
Ah. I bet they haven't experienced a walk-by punch in the face.
China: Loves pandas. Hates all other animals. Doesn't care too much for humans either.
@35: And we are the worst invasive species.
This reminds me of the pig at this place i volunteer at. He's stuck in a small pen for life now because YOU (meateaters) paid someone to feed him liquid waste (spoiled liquid food) For months of his life until it destroyed his intestines. He's not allowed outside becouse if he eats anything besides a special mush, it clogs his intestines.
Btw, feeding pigs liquid waste is common.
I'm pretty sure nothing is illegal in China after seeing this.
Screw cultural sensitivity, the Chinese are effing evil!!!! They have NO respect for biodiversity (think of all the crazy medicinal treatments - rhino/tiger penis viagra, etc.) and the ecosystem (rampant pollution-yes I know it also as symptom of their industrial revolution). They seriously need a reality check.
How is it possible for anyone to find that appealing?
FIRST........... suckers!
they probably know that wed buy them to set them free
This is so cute and so horrible at the same time!
I've eaten turtle before, I have no issue with thing going the natural way. That being said, this is just sick. They're freaking babies. A turtle can live 50-100 years and this keeps them alive for weeks? What's the points besides being cruel.
I would buy a turtle keychain, take it home, release it from the bag, put it in an aquarium and raise it to be big and strong.
Not surprised that this shit is going on in China, cruel people without respect for living things.
We better watch out because it's only a matter of time before China takes over the world and then it is likely we will be sold as noveltys
i am going to buy a bunch, raise them up in an aquarium, train them to be soldiers, use them to mount a resistance against the vendors, attach missile launchers to their backs, and then finally rally the army of turtles to take out the leader of the vendors! VICTORY!!!
or not
Hope, the next Tsunami hits China. Trash of mankind!
woke up to reading silly Chinese mannerisms. Bravo, good sir.
That's ****in terrible! I hope those people that do this get trapped in a bag of water them self's and get swung around and die!
This just goes to show how far a person will go to make money..Money to be made in a Nation with no morality ..Hell next year you may see bagged up old Chinese women for sale or little kids too .. Most of urban china is a moral waste land ..Let me re state that ..MOST OF URBAN ASIA is a moral waste land ...Been there lived all over south east asia
Live animals in a tiny "enclosed ecosystem" are a novelty and therefore a quick sell. It is a sadly common practice to fit live animals in small portable containers and it isn't only sold in the markets of China. There have been goldfish and betta fish put in to baseball size compartments built in to purses and shoes, wall hangings and boxes that only hold 1 cup of water.
People who buy these things should instead buy artificial- there are plenty of platic and sometimes mechanised keychain/desk devices that mimic a living animal in a tiny tank.
Asians have no souls.
WTF turtles breathe air....how would they last even a day in such a small bag????
I would buy that poor, little turtle, cut the bag open, and keep him as a pet. In PROPER conditions :)
thats so cruel! hw would they life to be squashed into a little bag?!
@Rancid Dook: saying "mow mow" every now and then doesn't make you any cuter...
On the topic: It's not only in China. It's sick, but posting comments here won't help too much I'm afraid.

 Not shapeways fault, it was just poor design on my part.
 BUT, that's the purpose of prototyping right?

 It looks good though, and i'm impressed with the WSF material in general.
 for what feels like it's no heavier than if it were made out of paper, it's quite strong.

 Probably the most obvious of which was the smallest gear. The tooth size was approximately the same size as the clearance So, it would never engage.
 The clearance on all the other parts was too much for how thin the links were. They just kinda flopped and wobbled around instead of having smooth linear motion. I plan to re-vamp the design it with wider links to prevent the slop. But, I'm not sure how to tackle the little gear yet.
 AND... I got slammed with a project at work so I haven't had much time since I received the printed model. But, i haven't given up!

The Passion of the Jewish-ish cartoon
Cartoonists like Matt Groening have made it big through cartoons like "The Simpsons." Mark I. Pinsky has found fame not be creating a cartoon, but by writing about them. Pinsky is an investigative journalist who has spent a large chunk of his writing career delving deeply into the connection between religion and animated entertainment. More specifically, Pinsky has been made famous for his publication of two books: One that focuses on religious depiction in the television series, "The Simpsons." The other is an analysis of religious themes in Disney animated movies.
Coming to Seattle for the first time since he was youngster in United Synagogue Youth back in the '60s, Pinsky will discuss his book "The Gospel According to The Simpsons" at the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Sunday, May 4. As part of the SJCC's Jewish Touch series, Pinsky will talk primarily about how Jews and Judaism are represented in one part of popular culture: Television sitcoms.
Back in 2001, Pinsky released the first edition of "The Gospel According to The Simpsons," which was so popular that he rereleased the book in 2006 with additional analysis based on new animated series that had modeled their episodic layout after the Simpsons.
"Primetime sitcoms in American television history stayed away from religion in its earlier years," says Pinsky. "Advertisers were afraid if you put religion in it would alienate and marginalize viewers; there was no real upside for the ratings. They also felt that if they put religion in the shows [religion] would be watered down and would not appeal to religious viewers."
When "The Simpsons" first aired in December 1989, Pinsky's children, then 8 and 11, expressed interest in watching the "adult" cartoon that had a prime time slot on FOX. Skeptical, he allowed them to watch with him and told them he would turn off the TV if he deemed anything inappropriate. Instead, the level of sophistication in the writing surprised him, and he noticed something unique and groundbreaking: The writers incorporated religion in an intelligent, socially comical way that he had never before seen done.
"The writers began incorporating religion into the show more and more," says Pinsky. "It simply is an element, not focused on religion all the time. But there are a couple of episodes that focus specifically on religion."
The writers would introduce non-majority faiths into the show and then incorporate them into the series' fabric.
"It's a part of their cosmos," he says.
In the case of "The Simpsons," Pinsky explored the introduction of the character of Krusty the Clown, his religious struggle and affiliation with Judaism that was the focus of one episode, and from there became a part of the show's landscape.
The second Jewish episode, which Pinsky describes as not only intelligent, but also revolutionary, was show's annual Halloween episode, which one year dedicated a segment to the lore of the golem.
"The episode was really well written and clever," Pinsky says. "It really knocked my socks off that they were able to do this. They really kicked in the door for making it okay to talk about religion in a funny way in an animated television show. "
Pinsky revisits some of his previous assertions in his 2006 re-release, this time focusing on newer animated sitcoms such as "Family Guy," "King of the Hill," "American Dad," and "South Park."
"By the time you get to 'South Park,' you're getting into some more heavy considerations of what Judaism in America is about," Pinsky says. "The episode 'South Park' did about Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' was very critical and really analyzed the issues involved in a sophisticated way."
At Pinsky's May 4 presentation, he plans to discuss some of the ways in which both "The Simpsons" paved the way for positively weaving religion into mainstream television and how other shows have sometimes missed the mark. He will also discuss some of the observations he makes in his second book, "The Gospel According to Disney: Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust." In this book, Pinsky explores many popular Disney films, as well as some of the more political aspects of the conglomerate, such as the 1990s boycott of Disney by the Southern Baptist Convention and the role that figureheads like Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg played in the resurgence of the company since the mid-1980s.

The course includes self-testing, as well as certification of completion. This video certification course will guide you through all the most important facts and features behind DISC, taking you from first principles to the point where you can actively interpret DISC results for yourself.
Discus can produce DISC questionnaires for use on screen, online, or in printed form. All of these questionnaires are available in a wide range of language options, shown below.

Discus includes a comprehensive branding and customisation service, enabling you to apply your own logo and colour scheme to all its key features. Apply your corporate livery throughout the candidate experience, including your online profiling portal, questionnaires and even Discus reports.

You can choose from a range of packages with different options, from the basic Core package up to the Ultimate package that includes extra features such as personalised branding and a free Certification Course.
Discus' personality test is based on DISC theory, one of the best established commercial profiling systems in use today. The core personality profile measures four fundamental factors: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance (from the initials of which we get 'DISC'). Extrapolating out from these measurements we can derive specific interpretations covering a whole range of behavioural styles and their reactions to different conditions.
If you'd like to find out more about DISC, you'll find a useful introduction on our What is DISC? page.
A standard Discus DISC assessment contains twenty-four multiple-choice questions. Questions are typically presented to candidates using an interactive questionnaire, which can be used to complete profiles across the Web. Discus also provides the option to print an unlimited supply of paper questionnaires for later entry into the profiler.
Completion time can vary according to the particular type of questionnaire used and according to the individual candidate. In general, however, a questionnaire will take about ten minutes for a candidate to complete.
Discus itself is free to use; you only pay for the profiles you create using the system. As part of your registration, you'll be provided with a set of Discus credits so you can start creating profiles right away. Extra features like Job Matching, Relationship Assessment and Team Building are all available for unlimited use at no extra charge.
You can find full details of the Discus charging scheme on our Pricing page.
At the simplest level, one Discus credit is the price of a Classic profile report; that is, for one credit you can create a comprehensive overview report for any Discus DISC profile. Reports with different content are charged at different credit rates, so the more detailed Enhanced report costs two credits, while the basic Outline report costs just three-quarters of a credit. You can upgrade between report levels at any time.
You can prepurchase credits ahead of time to ensure that you're always set up ready to create profiles, and there are significant discounts available for volume credit purchases.
No. Once you purchase credits, they remain on your Discus account until you use them, with no expiry limit.
A full report on the validity and reliability of the Discus psychometric assessment is available in the Roodt Report. See our Validity and Reliability section for full information.
If you just want to see your own DISC personality assessment, you can do that without signing up for the full Discus package. We can provide a single profile questionnaire directly through this site, but note that this is designed for you to answer about yourself and create your own personal report. We don't recommend this service for profiling other people; in that case, registering for the full Discus service is the best course of action.
Choose which of our great value business packages is best for you, and you'll be up and running with Discus in just a few minutes.
