SALEM (AP) — Model airplane enthusiasts from around Oregon — some with their planes in tow— showed up at a legislative hearing Wednesday to ask that any legislation passed to regulate drones not force them to give up their hobby.
In its original form, Senate Bill 71 could have had this effect, but lawmakers have proposed an amendment that would exclude model airplanes from many of the bill's provisions. Still, hobbyists were worried.
"This bill as written seeks to make criminals out of hobbyists and remove a very pleasant pastime from our reach,'' Salem Radio Controlled Pilots Association member Janice Williamson told lawmakers.
Oregon is among more than 30 states whose legislatures are considering bills that seek to regulate the use of drones in the United States. Use of the unmanned vehicles has been hotly debated because of their use by the U.S. military abroad.
The Oregon bill is primarily intended to protect citizens' privacy as the use of drones by law enforcement agencies and others becomes more widespread.
The measure would require law enforcement agencies to obtain a criminal warrant before using drones for surveillance of private property, in all but emergency circumstances. State or local government bodies would be required to register with the state Department of Aviation to fly an unmanned aircraft in Oregon's skies.
The legislation also has provisions that apply to private citizens' use of unmanned aircraft. For example, citizens who use model aircraft to stalk or spy would be charged with crimes under current privacy laws, and could face tougher penalties than now exist for violating someone's privacy.
Under an amendment introduced earlier this week, model airplanes would be exempt from many of the measure's provisions.
Also Wednesday, several speakers took issue with the legislation's language, saying it should use the term "unmanned aerial vehicle'' instead of "drone.''
"The word drone, I'd respectfully ask that the committee consider using the word unmanned aircraft,'' said Anthony Johnson-Laird, a representative from the Professional Association of Radio Controlled Aircraft Pilots.
"It has a relatively negative connotation, and because this industry is just getting started, I think the matter of the choice of words is important,'' he said.
As the country tries to figure out how to regulate drones, some at the hearing said they already are using unmanned aircraft in various ways.
Barbara Frederiksen-Cross, an aviation enthusiast from Hubbard, said her disabled husband flies a tiny drone around their country home when the dogs bark to see if someone is coming to the door.
"I would hate to think that he's violating the law doing that,'' she told lawmakers.
Another person who testified, Andrey Kim, showed up with an unmanned, hand-built aircraft he uses for aerial photography.
Sen. Floyd Prozanski, the committee's chairman, said the bill is a work in progress and the panel will take citizens' concerns into account as it is being worked on.

Man charged with felonies in church vandalism
A Baptist church reverend said nearly $100,000 in damage was done to his church in Hartford last weekend.
"It had the grid work in the windows, you know, and the grid work was all smashed out. The screens were laying in the front yard. He had smashed them out so badly," First Baptist Church Rev. Michael Gordon said.
Police said Joshua Wendt, 21, caused the damage and has targeted a church before.
Gordon said the way the stained-glass windows were smashed has the makings of a hate crime.
"This man just broke them with a vengeance. I mean, he didn't just break them, he smashed them. And so you had to say this man has something else going. There's something wrong here," he said.
Gordon said the vandal used a fire extinguisher as a battering ram on the church.
"And it was like a tornado had gone through here with all the fire extinguisher dust and the shards of glass," he said.
Wendt's home is across the street from a church he was found guilty of targeting a few years ago.
The criminal complaint said Wendt spray painted gang symbols on windows in April 2008 on the lower level of Redeemer Lutheran Church.
Wendt faces two felony counts of criminal damage to religious property because of his convictions in the prior church attack.
"I think he needs to be held accountable, no doubt. The scriptures are very clear: there is a wages to sin. Man needs to be faced with what he does as being wrong. That does not keep us from forgiving him," Gordon said.
Wendt told police he had been drinking with friends the night before the attack. He said when he woke up, he remembered a fire extinguisher, pews and a playroom.

Not here, unfortunately. There's definitely something wrong with font rendering. Some applications just look bad. See the attached images. The up4.jpg image is from my old setup with Update Pack 4 and up5.jpg is from a clone of that setup on another partition, upgraded to Update Pack 5. The positioning of the characters is off on UP5.squeezy wrote:First re: font rendering, my eyes might have been tired yesterday when I reported a degradation. Today the fonts look just fine, as good as they did with the Ubuntu font files under UP4.
Other than that, it feels like the whole font rendering is 'faint' somehow. On close inspection of the screen there doesn't seem to be any real difference, but that's the overall impression I get when I look at the screen.
More madness: my old preferences for screen shots are ignored. Actually, I can't even set them. Press Alt+PrintScreen and the screen shot is dumped somewhere, without any message and with an English name instead of a localized one. I eventually found it in my pictures directory, which is NOT where I want a screen shot I need to work with!
With regard to what I wrote earlier about the illegible white on grey text in the logon dialogue window: this morning when I booted the UP5 partition, I was greeted with an entirely different dialogue box, with white on black text. It had a Gnome Shell look and feel. No idea where that came from, but the useless dialogue box is gone, so no more complaints there.
Edit: well, that didn't last long. The useless dialogue box is back. Time to get rid of some more linuxmint overrides...
Which reminds me, the overrides system should be changed to check whether the files it wants to overwrite have been modified by the user. Bluntly destroying peoples' own settings is not done.

Rockets 97, Hornets 90
Carlos Delfino scored 20 points to lead the Houston Rockets to a 97-90 preseason victory over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
Houston (4-2) trailed 45-43 at halftime, but hit six of its first eight shots from the field in the third quarter to take control with a 17-4 run.
Chandler Parsons added 18 points, and Kevin Martin and rookie Terrence Jones had 15 each for the Rockets. Jeremy Lin had two points on 1-of-8 shooting and added five assists.
Delfino and Chandler Parsons each made four 3-pointers.
Ryan Anderson led New Orleans (3-4) with 23 points, hitting 5 of 7 3-pointers. No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Davis had 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots, and Greivis Vasquez scored 11 points.
Jones started in place of an injured Patrick Patterson for Houston. The Hornets played without Eric Gordon, Austin Rivers and Jason Smith.
Both teams close out the preseason Friday night. New Orleans will be at Miami, and Houston at Orlando.

As part of its interest in working towards changing the higher education sector in India, the Centre for the Study of Culture and Society (CSCS), established in 1998, set up a Higher Education Cell in 2007 in collaboration with the Sir Ratan Tata Trust. The ground for this had been prepared when CSCS faculty members Tejaswini Niranjana and Mrinalini Sebastian had researched the history and present situation of Indian higher education to write up a Strategy Paper for the Trust.
The Paper listed the possible directions in which independent funding could help address the different kinds of crises in the sector – to do with inflexible institutional structures, outdated and non-relevant curricula, poorly trained teachers, and lack of new resources for students.

Quick Trips
What's cooking in Houston? A hot foodie scene
Houston isn't exactly what you'd call a "looker." This is apparent as I enjoy my last lunch in the city seated on the patio at Revival Market, a cafe and gourmet grocer in the Heights, a residential neighborhood north of downtown.
Across the street, Victorian houses and quaint Craftsman bungalows line a leafy boulevard with pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and grassy medians. Trees with thick trunks and broad branches shield joggers and walkers with baby strollers from the midday Texas sun. And then, there on the corner, looking like a drunk frat boy at the opera, sits a fast-food joint, its garish reds and yellows rubbing elbows with the mint-green house next door.
As the fourth-largest city in the United States (pop. 2.2 million), and one without modern zoning laws, Houston boasts a landscape that's an endless labyrinth of strip malls, commercial warehouses, loft-style condominiums, freeways and access roads, public parks and parking lots. Urban planning in Houston looks a lot like someone dumped the makings of a city into a burlap sack and gave it a good shake.
But I'm not here to admire Houston's skyline; I'm here to eat in its restaurants. With some of the largest Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian and Nigerian communities in the country calling this sprawling metropolis home, Houston and its cuisine (think Silk Road meets Texas Bravado) has serious eaters talking.
The buzz building around Houston's food first caught my ear a few years back, when an old high school friend relocated to the city and started tending bar at a few spots around town. Fast-forward to the present day and a phone call with news of his engagement to a man I'd yet to meet. A trip to Houston to size up the food and the fiance suddenly became a priority. For company and a second opinion on both the food and the dude, I brought along my sister, Ashley.
By noon on the first day we're seated on the patio of El Real Tex-Mex Cafe in the Montrose neighborhood, sipping tart margaritas and squinting into the sun, the wintry Washington weather I'd awakened to in the morning now a distant memory. Housed in the old Tower Theater space, El Real is chef Bryan Caswell's homage to traditional Tex-Mex. You won't find innovation or trendy takes on classics on this menu; "old school" is exactly the point here. The queso arrives molten and impossibly smooth, thanks (I suspect) to a certain processed cheese, but its balance of salt and hint of heat partner well with warm tortilla chips and that frosty margarita. The picadillo puffy taco stuffed with shredded beef and the tamale smothered in deep red chile are standouts, but the posole — with its piquant green chili broth, tender cubes of pork and flecks of cilantro — wins the table handily.
That evening, Ashley and I join my friend and his fiance for dinner at Underbelly, directly across the street from El Real. Chef Chris Shepherd's cooking embodies that aforementioned Houston marriage of international spice and Texas tradition. Snappy pole beans swim in a pool of caramelized fish sauce, and crisp dumplings pick up a red sheen from the fiery Korean braised goat that accompanies them. For the main event — the whole Gulf by-catch — a Texas-sized cast iron skillet holds court at the center of our table, heaped high with lightly fried whole red snapper and scorpionfish on a bed of eggplant and cauliflower masala. As I pluck the last bits of flesh from a pile of scorpionfish bones in the skillet, I decide that Houston has never looked so good.
The next night, Ashley and I head for dinner to the Pass & Provisions, a new dual-concept restaurant on Taft Street that boasts a seasonal menu where the familiar (pasta, pizza, seafood and meat) gives a nod to the flavors of Asia and Africa. At the time of my visit, only the casual side, Provisions, is open, with the more formal Pass expected to debut in a few weeks. My entree of harissa bucatini tossed with Gulf shrimp, guanciale and broccoli is devoid of spice and sans the promised broccoli, and has me longing for the uni-topped pizza on my neighbor's table. But the meal's beginning — kimchi pan au lait accompanied by a warm egg yolk afloat in kimchi spices and a wedge of perfectly runny cremant cheese — and its end — Thai iced tea soft-serve sprinkled with chocolate feuilletine (crisps), candied peanuts and dehydrated strawberries — prove most noteworthy. Provisions' unisex bathroom, however, where Julia Child follows you into the stall thanks to piped-in audio recordings from The French Chef, may alone be worth the trip.
Post-dinner, we belly up to the bar for a cocktail at Anvil Bar & Refuge, back in the Montrose neighborhood. My soon-to-be-wed buddy is working the bar there these days, but Anvil also happens to be slinging some of the most creative cocktails in town. The menu, a list of 100 cocktails ranging from light to bitter to fruity to boozy, can be overwhelming. Skip the heavy reading and consult with the able bartenders for guidance, or throw caution to the wind and ask for "bartender's choice."
On the morning of our last day, Ashley and I decide to check out an offbeat tourist attraction, the Beer Can House. Completely covered in beer cans by its owner in the late 1960s, the house is an artistic oddity worth a few gawks and giggles and a decent way to fill a few hours. Then we head to Revival Market for our final bites in town. I devour Revival's take on a banh mi, a classic Vietnamese sandwich of porchetta, pat and pickled carrot doused with fish sauce and green goddess dressing, all spilling out of a perfectly crusty-chewy baguette.

As I'm polishing off my side of pearl couscous with roasted cauliflower and sipping at my last dregs of hibiscus iced tea, I begin to plot how many jars of Revival's house-made mustard, barbecue sauce, sorghum and vinegars, which are for sale inside, we can cram into our suitcases. And by the time I climb back into my rental car with a bag full of tasty Texas souvenirs and a homemade Oreo cookie for the road, I couldn't care less about that fast-food eyesore in the distance.

Game Of Thrones Season Six Poster Has People Freaking Out
The sixth season of Game of Thrones doesn't start till April 2016, but the fan hysteria has already begun. HBO has released a promotional poster which (might) answer one of the biggest upsets from the season five finale-is Jon Snow alive or dead?
In case you've been living under a rock: during the final 10 minutes of Game of Thrones season five finale Jon Snow, Stark bastard and Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, was lured by the Night's Watch and stabbed because of he helped the Wildlings.
Since the finale Snow's status has been up in the air with fans freaking out and speculating whether he's dead or not. This poster seems to be the biggest indication yet that Snow will return, whether or not he's all Snow is a totally different question.
Twitter's response to the news:

"Hi Marlene,
Hope this finds you well. I'm sending you some Passover tablescapes from years past. Haha, no pun intended
Many Jewish families already have many of the kinds of items I used for this "Exodus from Egypt" themed table- various clay and brass pots and vases, and even wooden camels! The palm leaves are from the plants in my front yard. Blue and black paired with gold and silver is reminiscent of ancient Egypt. Metal bangle bracelets from the local flea market make awesome napkin rings. Finally a gold chain around the table with place cards tied to them remind us how we were chained together in bondage, and how we are bound together in our heritage.Here are a few more ideas!Covered Hagadot and flowers make an elegant spring theme for any Passover table!Another favorite of mine, our Nile theme, with my version of Miriam and Yochevet looking on among the reeds (Ross finds!) Baby Moshe name card holders (below) add a whimsical touch for the young and young at heart!If you like what you see please LIKE our page BSG TABLESCAPES on facebook for many good ideas.Wishing you a happy and healthy Pesach!Kineret Spector

A new online system helps track stakeholders in the Arkansas horse racing industry, and distributes race winnings.
As many states experience a decline in horse racing culture — with some even closing tracks — the sport continues to be a significant industry in Arkansas. The state holds races with the purpose of promoting the registered Arkansas-bred thoroughbred program. With so many different owners, breeders and stallion owners, keeping track of the information was becoming an onerous task. Additionally, ensuring that the various stakeholders were paid accordingly was a time consuming responsibility.
To automate this process, the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) launched an online service for the Arkansas Racing Commission and the Arkansas Thoroughbred Breeders' & Horsemen's Association (ATBHA) that tracks and reports winners during the state's thoroughbred racing seasons.
The ATBHA works with the Arkansas Racing Commission to maintain the rules and regulations of the Association and the Arkansas-bred program. This includes distribution of the Purse and Awards Funds to owners, stallion owners and breeders of properly registered Arkansas-bred thoroughbreds.
"Before, it was a management nightmare and very cumbersome," said Cathy Heath, director of project management for Arkansas.gov, the state's e-government partner, responsible for creating the new system. "The new service streamlines the whole process for the owner, breeders and stallion owners. It tracks the race winnings and it calculates what the award should be."
Under the old system, award recipients could wait from one race season to the next to receive a paycheck, given the various rules and the complexity of the process. Award amounts are calculated based on a formula from the Racing Commission. Depending on the recipient's role — owner, breeder and/or stallion owner — the payout is different. Additionally, if there are multiple owners, the formula changes. Previously, the ATBHA would have to verify -- via various spreadsheets and databases — that the races and horses match. There were multiple data entry points, making consistency a challenge and leaving many opportunities for human error.
"Part of the reason that the DFA approached us was because they wanted to make sure that the state was in compliance," Heath said. "A lot of the calculation was done manually, so it was harder to track. This new system sets up checks and balances, and we're able to see the work being done. The ATBHA has an audit that they have to go through, and in the past that audit process might take up to a year. Now the audit process takes up to a couple of hours."
The new system, for which no tax dollars were appropriated, stores information on about 525 people and 750 horses. The ATBHA will be able to re-use and edit data for horses, breeders, owners and stallion owners, who participate in four in-state races sponsored by the ATBHA: the Rainbow Stakes, Rainbow Miss Stakes, Nodouble Breeders Stakes and Natural State Breeders Stakes.
According to the ATBHA website, the Association pays $25,000 of the $50,000 guaranteed purse for each race. The funds come from nomination fees paid by the nominating horse owners, entry and starting fees, and the Arkansas Racing Commission Purse and Awards Fund, established to promote and develop thoroughbred horse breeding in the state.
With funding coming from multiple places and checks being distributed at varying amounts to different stakeholders, the new system is multi-faceted. In the 1,200 hours that were dedicated to this project, Arkansas.gov created a system that:
• uses role-based user authentication, which allows for real time, secure, data access;
• calculates monetary awards for horse owners, breeders and stallion owners;
• generates award payments;
• creates 1099 forms; and
• allows for award verification prior to generating payments.
"This system just went into production this year," Heath said, adding that stakeholders are pleased with the new system. "We've got the checks ready to go, which is several months ahead of schedule."

These are possibly my new all-time favorite skate shoes. Extremely durable, comfortable, and good looking. The only complaint is the heel area does wear very quickly when doing a lot of heelflip tricks in my particular use.

Perfect fit, hrear shoes that will last a long time
Super comfortable, while not loosing any stability. I used to skate these all the time, but switched to other brands for a while. This is the first Marana with the Michelin rubber on it that I have skated, and I could not be happier with my purchase!
This is an awesome shoe
It's been a month and the shoes are holding up amazingly, only noticeable wear, the rubber outsole on the front of the shoe is a little worn down and started wearing down about 1 week in, but that is normal because that is from my kickflips, I have probably done about 1,000 kickflips and the shoes still have plenty of life left in them
Love it very they are very comfortable they exceeded my expectations
Great shoes !!!
The best brand and shoes I have ever skate in my life
Very comfy and easy/quick to break in. I ride mostly bmx dirt and street style/flatland on a 20" Eastern Pay Dirt. The shoes perform exquisitely by NOT sticking to my Demolition platform pedals overmuch. There is very much a free feeling of lucidity instead of a feeling of being welded or strapped to the pedals due to undersole holiness. The Marana series are my favorite style, fit, and cut of Etnies-proper shoe lines. They're not too wide and puffy like classic site shoes, but they also not TOO narrow so they don't repivot my footing. The charcoal cavasuede and gum sole go really well with various guess nd free of blue denim jeans.
I've only worn these for a few days now, but I can already tell I'm going to love these. Extremely well made, they hug the foot with an extreme sense of comfort. The insoles are comfortable, the outer soles grip extremely well, and they seem to breathe a reasonable amount. Very happy.
Great shoes that are very comfortable and true to size. I can't complain at all about them!
These shoes are pretty good I love the golden etnie symbol on the back, i still haven't skated in them yet but im definitely going to soon
They are great i love them! Good impact protection+good board feel. The hidden lace loops came undone but I dont mind 100% recommend. WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR BUY THEM NOW. I promise you will not be disappointed
Looks slick, comfy and durable
Best Marana ever created!
best shoes 🤘
This is my third pair of these. These are my classic go-to shoe.
Good skate shoe for the price. Mesh upper gets shredded faster than the rest of the shoe, especially if doing heel flips.
Order half a size larger, sized too small. Flips where good good boardfeel and super durable.
Love these shoes. Definitely getting again
Comfy as hell, decent board feel, great fit for wider feet. This is my go-to shoe for the foreseeable future
One of the best vegan skate shoes on the market right now! Can't wait see more colorways. They do run slightly snug, but after you break them, they're golden.
They're very durable suede is nice and they're vegan 🌱 great price as well! One think I really hope they improve with this shoe is the lacing system it does have the one under but my laces rip really quick at the top hole and there's not another way to keep they out of they way and a final thing is they should put a little more rubber where the ollies happen as it's not covered by the toe cap. Overall so far they're very durable not a single hole in the suede apart from where my laces are worth the price imo would like a remodeled version a ton
Love the design and Style Cool Shoes
The laces are the first things to go. Wish they included a second pair on an otherwise great shoe
These shoes look good and feel good for the most part. I bought them because I wanted durability as I am learning my ollies. These have lasted about a month so far of 45+ min skate sessions about 6 days a week.
Solid. Michelin sole is durable but still flexible. Great grip. Nice breathable cup doe that looks light but cups heel like a glove. A couple skate sessions to break in. Great impact protection. A little time getting used to the flick. But overall a great mix of skate shoe. Sheckler summed it up best... it's a skaters skate shoe. I just wish it came with some Etnies stickers lol
He love them
The best
Comfy, grippy, stylish. Awesome.
I've been loving these shoes. They are sturdy, comfortable, stick to the board, and stylish. I use them for skateboarding and freestyle BMX. I was going to order skate shoes from Vans or Nike, but I'm glad I chose Etnies for both style and fit. I'm a petite adult FEMALE who is 4'10" and I typically wear a women's 7, so the size conversion for this shoe was a Men's 5.5. I will continue ordering from Etnies.
These are the most comfortable shoes with plenty of cushion!
Super comfortable shoe. Everything I've always loved about Etnies. Ordered a half size larger than what my normal shoes would be per a number of other reviews and they for perfectly. I didn't buy then for a skate shoe, so I can't attest to the durability there but, in the short time I've had them I hardly wear anything else.
I'm just trying to return shoes to get a bigger size and etnies won't respond over phone or email. I've tried several times over phone and email. If you order anything you will not be able to return it. They Claim they are too busy to answer calls but not too busy to sell and ship everything out!!!
These shoes are great! I would have given 5 stars, but they don't offer wide sizes. I has to spend the first 2 weeks stretching them. Now that they fit, these shoes seem like they will last forever. I've been skating them pretty hard and they show no wear.
Such a solid shoe! Comfortable with solid protection. I love it
These are super dope. I just use em for special occasions. The tip of the shoe was kinda a bit too snug, but it doesn't hurt my feet. I think because I have wide feet that's the reason. If you're thinking about getting these you're sure to enjoy wearing them
D best marana ive skated love then i bought 2 1 for skatin 1 for everday casual wear 💯🙌🙌
Best vegan skate shoes I've had in years! Would buy again.
Best skate shoes of all time, hands down!!!!!
These shoes not only look good but are extremely durable. Love the Michelin rubber. No holes in the toes!
Bitchin shoes. Best pair I've ever had for bmx
Killer shoes, hold up very well as I abuse them daily. I would recommend to any serious skater.
Awesome shoes. super comfortable and durable
I'm so grateful Etnies brought back the vegan Marana! Finally a cup sole faux suede skate shoe. Thank you! I'll definitely be getting more.
This product is just what I was searching , durability, style and comfort. I would surely buy another pair! But in black. Thank you Etnies
Love it i have 2 of this 1 for skatin and 1 for everyday use
Very comfortable and good looking. Love the feel of them on my feet and very stylish. You
Fit good. Durable and lightweight. The broken in period was minimal and now they're very comfortable. The grip is excellent and they look great. Definitely gonna get another pair.
Wearing Michelin Maranas for years, they last longer than any other shoe for skating. Blackout Michelin Maranas look the best.
The Etnies Marana Michelin have a true to size snug/tight fit, straight out of the box. I'm not gonna lie my upper foot area (not toes) felt like they were getting strangled at first because of how snug they fit out of the box and how thick the tongue is (probably why), but they wore in very nicely after the first session! They seem durable and I have high hopes for them. Wish the material on the toe box was thicker as the impact of the board landing on that part hurts a lot, still better than most shoes though
Been skating for about 18 years now - brand-wise, you name it I've skated it. Obviously a lot that has changed in that time and not knocking on other companies but this is by far the best skate shoe I've ever put to use. I was instantly impressed in a way I've never been before - super comfy, super durable & great style .. do I even need to say more? I just hope this shoe sticks around for a while.
So far my experience with my first pair of Etnies Maran's are truly amazing. I am surprised how comfortable they are, while staying true to your feet because they are a light shoe with awesome durability for flip tricks such as kick flips and 360 clips! Amazing shoe stoked to skate them even more!! :)
Fits great, wide enough for my wide feet. Very durable and stylish. I'll buy another pair if I ever wear these out.
great looking shoes with a comfortable fit
Not for wide feet. Excellent grip, Michelin souls lol! Light weight and very durable. I just wish skate shoes had a 2E and 4E wide selection. Breaking these in for a wide foot caused a lot of discomfort and buying a size up creates too much floppyness if you will in the toe. Otherwise this is a great shoe! Etnies are a great shoe.
Love the shoes, can't wait to skate in them once I completely destroy my old ones.
Got the Etnies Marana Michelin collab, NAVY/WHITE/RED. Looks great, and after 3 months of skating, the sole seems to be lasting longer than any other shoe I've had.
Love my kicks, 2nd pair not because the others were toast I just like them that much!
I love these shoes. I've had 3 pairs each lasting around 5-6 months and they are super comfortable. Definitely would buy again.
I absoutley love these shoes they are so comfortable
My etnies marana I got were so awesome! They look so good 🔥🤘🏻 Just keep representing the way you do!!
Great shoe, excellent price and speedy delivery. Couldn't ask for much more!
who ever said let's put michelin tire soles on a skate shoe deserves a cookie,a beer, and all the greatness you could give them... this shoe is the perfect shoe... more color ways !!!!!!
Dope shoes. Comfortable and sturdy. I'm wearing them right now
most durable skate shoe that keeps you foot comfortable and safe from your deck.
Love the shoes they are comfortable they look sick and I will buy again
I love these shoes but wish Etnies would open up shop in Canada, or at least make their app available in Canada. I've loved Etnies for over 25years, but only lately discovered the Marana, which is by far the best shoe I've ever had.
Came in fast, and the shoes were perfect.
These are the definition of a good skate shoe.
Ordered a pair to have matching shoes with my son. These shoes are on another level compared to other skate shoes. Extremely comfortable and tough. Have gotten many compliments on them. Looking forward to getting more shoes from Etnies.
Best ever
Loves the shoes
The marana is a forever classic in my wardrobe. Weather I'm skating or just being casual. They last a good while as long as you're not spamming kickflips all day.
awesome grip
Tge shoes hold up better than most shoes I've used for skating. I skate almost every day and these don't seem to wear down
My favorite etnies shoe to date! I've wore etnies my whole adult life except I got on a jordan kick for about 2 years and now I'm skating again after 13 years of not skating. So I got these, boy was I missing out on comfort for 2 years. The Marana is my go to, used to be faders.
Best shoes I've had in skating since the golden years of the Mike Vs and the faders. I've always wore etnies or Es accels. I've had a few others but always came back home, always. I got 2 pair of these I loved them so much.
Easily my favorite pair of sneakers. Super comfortable. Goes with everything. Would recommend to anyone.
Look great. Good fit. Shipping was fast
Way too narrow
My dad got me these shoes for my 12th birthday and I absolutely love them. They are like pillows for my feet. I love you dad. Maddux
Good ball around shoe I have 8 different color of maran's
Love the shoes so far.. Hope they last as long as their reputation says. Fit pretty true to size. Etnies shipping is slow as molasses.
Durable! And nice design.
Great shoe. Really comfortable and grippy on the peddles
Super comfortable
It looks good and feels good.
These shoes are the bomb. I felt like a kid in a candy shop when they finally arrived. The biggest hassle was getting the shoes over the border. After a short phone call my package was on its way. It was awesome to have such a wide selection of colour with this style of shoe but like any internet order it is hard for me to get the right size. Because I was so excited to see the shoes I decided to keep my size 9 shoes and order 8 1/2 next time. Live and learn I guess
I purchased the Etnies Marana because after hours of searching online I was led to believe they were the widest skate shoe on the market. This is false. Barely wider than Chucks. If you have fat feet, do not purchase. I only gave two stars instead of one because they seem durable and I'm hoping they stretch out, in time. If I had paid full price they would have went straight back..
They feel amazing comfortable just enough board feel long lasting just a all around great skateboarding shoe
Amazing product but came in couple days late.
really nice fit and super sticky grip.
Great colorway and lots of support
Great sale with some great Maranas
The new Marana and Joslin series are the ELITE skate shoes. I love them!
Dare I say it, currently the best skate shoe on the market?
I received these and they were EXACTLY what I ordered. The fit was true to size and once I wore them for a day or so they felt even better., but they did stretch a little bit after wearing them. One of my top 5 shoes. Definitely ordering another pair.
Super good shoes
I've been skating the marana since it came out,now that they have the Michelin sole they last even longer! Good board feel while still protecting my feet!
First pair were small, put them in the same box with the sent label, ordered the next size up and all was fast and easy. I will be buying more shoes from you.
I love these for longboarding and also roofing, excellent grip and sturdy construction
Best Skate shoes I've used so far, incredible durability on the common wear spots, the Michelin tire sole lasts very long and provides excellent grip. These are the only shoes that don't wear out after skating 4-6 hours a day for a week or two.
First pair of shoes I have ever bought online and for skate shoes that's a big risk in my opinion. Great fit right from the start but I went with a 12 to be safe because I have wide feet but normally wear 11.5. I feel like the 11.5 would be true to size and fit perfect. As far as comfort and how they preform, best shoe I've ever had. I can remember a pair of Globe shoes from about 10 years ago that felt similar but nothing since. The grip is insane and the tread pattern looks amazing and has a purpose. It took a minute to get used to how grippy it was but only a minute and it really is impressive. I can't say much else except that I won't hesitate to buy the same shoe again as soon as these start to wear down but honestly I am abusing these shoes and you can hardly tell.
Amazing comfort along with phenomenal grip
Super comfortable right out of the box. Love the shoe. They look and feel great.
Great shoe. One of the lightest, most comfortable shoes that I've ever worn. I love the Marana line and am glad I was able to get these on sale.
COMFORTABLE! Insoles are SO good! Any after-market insoles are CHEAP, by comparison! I work on my feet all day, these are probably the TOUGHEST shoes on the market! AWESOME!!!!
Love everything about the marana! Keep making this colorway please!
Hands down the most comfortable skate shoe I have ever put on! Great board feel easy to break in, can't beat the Michelin soles! Awesome shoe!!
Great shoe. No complaints. Thank you.
Beautiful, confortable and resistant shoes. The crew perfect. Five stars.
Exceptional grip, good shoe much better than the Joslin version in which the heel grip has started to wear out only after a week of wear.
The plastic and cloth material inside on the back of the heal breaks up and wears out fast. The rest of the shoe seems to be really well made. I've owned many different pairs of etnies over the years. This is the first pair to do this.
Incredible. Back for my second pair of michelins, which is my fifth pair of etnies. You'll wear the heel out before you burn the treads off these things and that's still gonna take like 6 months of daily abuse.
Too small...i need a return slip please
Exellent product I recommend it
Amazing. Excellent quality materials and fits perfectly. Very comfortable
Son enormemente boas, recomendoas. Única pega o prezo, que son carisimas
Great shoes ! Been skating them for a few weeks and hold up wel for a 43 year old reliving his youth 😀
My second pair of Marana michelin. The perfect shoes for me! You can't hardly ruin the sole, they got good support and they are very confortable!
Literally the most comfortable shoes that I've ever had. Super grippy. Almost like having your feet encased in pillows.
Very comfortable, I will be buying another pair
Great shoe for skating and walking. Nice understated look!
Awesome shoes!
Seriously comfortable and very nicely made. Will definitely be getting another pair and would recommend without hesitation.
These shoes are so comfy, just got my second pair and am loving them
I'd had a pair of Marana XTs previously and was starting to think I didn't want to skate in anything else - they're ridiculously hard-wearing, comfy from the off, and have possibly the best standard (i.e. non-custom) footbed I think I've seen in any skate shoe. The new Michelin cupsoles are clearly the icing on the very supportive cake =) If you're fed up of the current trend for protection-less plimsolls and the heel bruises they promote, give some of these a demo.
Great pair of sneakers.
I love this shoes I buy a lot of this etnies
Great shoe, these where my second pair. They're super durable even more so than my last pair. Great at taking impact and super grippy. The break in time on these is abit longer than Id normaly expect maybe the white sole ones are made diffriently? Would be 5 stars but I skated the Joslin Gray colour way and they where better for me.
f**king amazing
He absolutely loves the shoes I purchased, but they seem to run a little small
Best shoes ever! So much comfort!
Bought these on a whim. Couldn't be more impressed. This is the standard that skate/bmx shoes should be held to. After years of utter disappointment with (insert automobile named shoe company here), Etnies has won a new customer. Bravo. Take my money.
very comfortable and very supportive. nice shape of toe for kickflips. nice colour.
I got them last week. They are everything you need ! Perfect for skateboarding/longboarding, durable, extra comfy and i'd like to mention that this is already my 3rd pair and i have nothing bad to say about them. They are the best, i love them !
These are amazing! By far the most durable skate shoe I have ever owned. The insoles are cushy and do a great job of protecting your feet, although you do sacrifice a little in the way of board feel. I am over 100 kickflips on these and still haven't worn through the toe cap. Love 'em.
By far the best and most sturdy skate shoe I've ever bought, cannot see switching to any other shoe
Love the shoe! Favorite colors. Shecks is great homie. Only thing is I only wear my right shoe, anyone need a left shoe size 11. Is there a half off deal. In a wheelchair so can't enjoy them skateboarding anymore.
Great shoes, a bit expensive but worth it.
Amazing shoes. Honestly really good value
Great skate shoe!!
Best and most comfortable shoes i have worn for skating and Bmx. I had my first marana etnies x plan B when joslin wasn't pro yet, had the OG all black. Now i have this collab with Michellin. Best shoes ever
Un poco duras los primeros dias. Luego perfectas
looking good , confortable shoees ,gripi sole for riding BMX
Beautiful pair of shoes, very stylish and you get exactly what you see. Not that comfy though, especially when wearing them for hours. Apart from that, highly recommended.
Very nice shoes! Like them a lot!
Best skate shoe out there. You won't be disappointed.
On my third pair of Marana's. They look great, are comfortable and hold up to the abuse.
Excellent shoe, I would prefer a bit higher ankle collar and more heel lock. It is very durable shoe except ankle collar that gets frayed very quickly due to way I do ollies and heelflips. Insole is amazing and it would be great to have it in more Sole Tech shoes across all brands.
This in my Opinion is the best performing/looking skate shoe in the biz. I have 4 other pairs of the older Marana and loved them all. This one is just a little bit better the outsole is SO GRIPPY it's insane. ALSO thought This was kinda funny but after unboxing these I noticed I smelt new tires, I gave the outsole a sniff and sure enough it smelt just like new tires... just figured I'd add that In too. Great shoe. Don't ever stop production if these.
Slightly more snug than my last pair of Etnies bit better all around. I'm sure they'll stretch. Lower ankle support, great color. Very grippy!
This is a perfect shoe! Everything about it is amazing! The fit, the cushioning, durability, it's all good! Looking down at your feet while on your board they just feel right for skateboarding. Please don't ever stop making this shoe!
Super comfy. Very stylish.
Lit shoes with good grip, perfect for beautiful summerweather.
I love this shoe, but you need to incorporate some similar shoes sizes for those with WIDE feet. I bought a pair a size up but it still hurts my foot.
I received exactly what I ordered, as requested. I ordered the wrong size shoe, my own bad, and I am currently waiting for an exchange. They the process, so far, they gave done whatever they can to keep my informed on the progress with my exchange. Emails have also been returned within a couple days. Quality wise, no complaints.
These shoes are bad ass! I Love skating in them!
Although they're a bit heavy, and therefore not perfect for summer like now, those are really nice shoes, and they have indeed a really long lifespan.
shoes are great quality, shame the sizing was a bit off - according to chart we got a size 8 and it fits but super tight and they don't ship to NZ so I had them delivered to a hotel in USA (whilst on holiday) and that was fantastic. Son will wear them but trying to stretch them a bit.
I commute to work by bike and use platform pedals. These shoes provide all the grip, support and comfort I need and are great on the bike. They also look great such that I can wear them with a good pair of jeans at work. Love these shoes.
Most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Can be used for casual or skate. 👍🏼👌🏼🤘🏼
Exactly what i wanted, I skate hard and these are made with a leather or whatever the tip of the shoe is so its good quality
The best
Shoes are perfect and i love them
Nice comfortable solid shoes. The colour is really nice and the grip is to be tested on the long term, seems promising though ! Nothing bad to say about them, 2nd pair of Marana's so far, i do recommend them.
Love these shoes! My old pair were the sheckler maranas
The best skate shoes ever! More durable than all skate shoes in the market that I tried. Nice grip outsole, nice impact protection, all around skate shoe ( I can do any trick without the problem that is going to slip out the board). They break in 1 week of skating or less. I love this red/white color. (I would love that etnies give me a free pair of this shoes in this red color for have 2 :D). I`m skating the 2nd pair of this Marana Michelin and recomend it 100%!
Thes best shoes
Most comfortable, most durable shoes ive ever skated. I will be purchasing these again
Amazing shoes. I have been using them for the last weeks and they steel seem to BE new.
amazing shoe! are sold out in Santiago, Chile :'(
A really good quality. I destroy all my shoes but not this pair ! I'm really impressed and satisfy. Etnies win one fidel client
Thank u ..
Best shoes I've ever bought! Also the best colorway!
Very comfy, price are good for these kicks. Colour is awesome and they are made well
Rlly good quality and best option to go on longoboard
He loves them their Dope.
These shoes are the best. They fit true to size, they may feel a little snug at first because of the extra padding. They have superior boardfeel for a cupsole, and awesome impact protection. I started skating in the early 2000's, so its awesome to see a company who still caters to skaters with hidden lace loops and a thick upper. I honestly have nothing bad to say about these shoes, and i am a very tough critic of today's skate shoes. I hope etnies keeps this model for a long time because i don't plan on purchasing anything but the marana ever again.
Awesome shoes! I am so happy with the way they look and they are so comfy too. Also, really fast delivery which was great
The shoe size is way small!!!! The shoe narrows at the front. I wear a size 10 men's in other skate or regular shoes. This shoe you must get one size bigger or expect to return them.
Love the shoes. They last long and feel great. They have good support and great style. The loop inside to lace the shoe with is amazing. I don't skate anything else!
This shoes are the best! Great grip, comfort, impact protection and durability. The best way to get better the best skate shoe The Etnies Marana OG with Michelin. Thanks for create this shoe!
- Super happy with these. - Been skating Nike SB Janowski for a year and I don't think I'll go back. - Two sessions in and the SB would have started to show serious signs of wear. The Marana's still look practically brand new. - They feel quite stiff at first but they break in after about an hour of solid skating and then feel very comfortable. - It might just be me but I feel like the rubber toe cap gives you a slight extra bit of board control for flip tricks (and I'm pretty bad at those).
Great shoes, they are really comfortable. And two pairs for 90 euro's during black friday was just fantastic!
is the best shoes that I have I love bmx and dirt and this are the best shoes for this sports. I Love this shoes¡
I love the shoes they fit great and look awesome. The only downside is you need to make your shoes more accessible to Canadians since you don't ship to Canada.
Nice shoe comfortable stylish The shoes have become narrow around the toe area making it slightly tighter How ever been wearing them with big socks for two weeks to stretch slightly Hey Presto it's worked . The reason I gave it 4 stars is that reason alone .
Best shoes in the market
Best skateshoes ever
i have had these now for over a month. i skate almost daily and still not a scratch. i f*cking love these.
A solid, well fitting and comfortable shoe. Skates well too, and has good board feel despite not being a vulc. The low cut ankle makes dragging your feet on the deck easier I find, as you get more ankle flex. They're holding up really well too, hardly look worn at all. Impressed.
The best skate shoes that i have ever had!
These were bought for my son as a present and he loved them. He said they fitted perfect and are comfortable. Would recommend.
Really nice looking shoes, and long lasting. I like to do a lot of technical flatground tricks, like double flips etc so I needed something durable. Will definitely buy again
I can't be more happy with my shoes, really comfortable, the size is perfect. I'am going to walk with them for a time before I skate them :D
Sharp looking creps stay looking good even with heavy use well pleased
This shoes are confortable. I love etnies shoes for there durability and original style but these seems to be more durable. I play drum and it gives good grip on the pedals. Perfect product ;)

Toxic chemicals are harming Arctic animals including polar bears, beluga whales, seals and seabirds, the environmental group WWF said on Thursday.
GENEVA Toxic chemicals are harming Arctic animals including polar bears, beluga whales, seals and seabirds, the environmental group WWF said on Thursday.
It said pollutants such as flame retardants, pesticides and fluorinated chemicals made Arctic wildlife vulnerable to health problems including immune suppression and hormone disturbances.
"We can no longer ignore the proof that chemicals are damaging the health of wild animals," said Samantha Smith, director of the Swiss-based group's international arctic programme.
The WWF, formerly known as the World Wildlife Fund, said the chemical contamination of the Arctic threatened the survival of many of the region's animal species, who also faced possible habitat and food supply loss due to climate change.
It appealed for "urgent and significant strengthening" of European Union legislation designed to protect people and the environment from the adverse effects of chemicals found in products like paint, detergents, cars and computers.
The bill, known by the acronym REACH, has drawn criticism from the United States and other countries who say its provisions could hurt trade and be hard to implement.
Among health effects, the WWF said the immune systems of polar bears had been disrupted and there were signs of weaker bone growth. Bears in the Barents Sea with high levels of toxic PCBs suffered disruptions to thyroid hormones.
"The bodies of some belugas from the St. Lawrence estuary in Canada are so contaminated that their carcasses are treated as toxic waste," it said, adding that chemicals such as flame retardants were compounding problems caused by older pollutants.
The WWF said its report focused on documented health problems in Arctic creatures, building on a report in February highlighting the high levels of pollutants in the Arctic.
The Arctic is far from industrial centres but many long-lasting chemicals get swept north by winds and ocean currents and build to damaging levels in fatty tissues of creatures in the region.

If you follow Ken Block on Twitter (www.twitter.com/kblock43) or on Facebook (www.facebook.com/KenBlockRacing), you're already hip to this sweet E-Revo we built for him. Says KB, "I live on a ski resort so I asked Traxxas to set me up with a good RC car that would work in the snow. They really surprised me with this one."
Chevron tires for snow action, Exo-Carbon wing, custom green beadlock rings, custom paint, custom green-ano'd hubs. Stock E-Revo underneath for waterproofness.
Some more pics below, and to answer your next question: sorry, not for sale. Number one in a production run of one!

Its amazing what you can do with money.
Very, very nice! But, will Chevron tires fit in a Geode wheel without any modifications? Don't they have different type of beads?
Also, it would be cool to see a green anodized motor mount, both green bulkheads tie bars, green shocks or springs and green pushrods... Just an idea to make it better for the second batch you're going to sell to us...

Well, answering my question, it looks like the Chevron 5171 will fit the Geode wheels just fine, if I'm not mistaken...
Another thing, can we have white sidewalls for the white Summit? Come on, you made 1 green set of sidewalls for 1 person, you can make a big white batch for all your customers?
He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins.
SWEET!! That looks totally awesome!!
Traxxas should consider selling that!! Everybody would want one!!
Last edited by E-RevoVXL; 03-30-2011 at 07:45 PM.
That body would be a good seller if they were to just offer that with the decals for the wing, the rest would be easy to do your self. They should sell those Geode wheels in just plain black plastic too, they look better that way!
I think traxxas should sell monster decals to put underneath the body before paining, I've seen several monster logos done and some look worse than others. A few monster logos make a simple black paint job look sweet
I like turtles.
well that wont fit in a blender... or will it?

Well, in pieces, yes, gotta break it first though
this small little truck looks very pretty and its contrasting colors are also very nice, and i also want to buy this little truck but i dont know from where so if anyone know that form where i can purchase it online please inform me on this thread or post the link of the website where i can order for it ,,, ....

Honda Motor Co. plans to build a $470 million transmission factory in Mexico at the same site as an auto plant opening in 2014.
The parts facility will open in the second half of 2015 in Celaya, near the central city of Guanajuato, and will be able to make as many as 700,000 continuously variable transmissions a year, Honda said Thursday.
It will employ 1,500 people and be adjacent to a factory scheduled to start making the Fit subcompact next year.
"This will establish an efficient production structure that will maximize our Mexican and North American content," Executive Vice President Tetsuo Iwamura said at a news conference in Mexico City with Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajuardo.
Mexico has drawn billions of dollars in automotive investment in recent years, particularly from Japan's carmakers. Along with its lower production costs, Mexico's favorable trade agreements with the U.S., Latin America and the European Union make it appealing as an export base.
Honda, the first Japanese automaker to build cars in the U.S., announced its $800 million Celaya auto assembly plant in 2011.
Mazda Motor Corp. is building a $650 million factory in the same state, where it will make Mazda2 and Mazda3 cars and also small cars for Toyota Motor Corp.
Nissan Motor Co. expects to complete a $2 billion plant alongside an existing facility in the state of Aguascalientes by the end of this year.
Honda said transmissions made in Celaya will also be exported to its other plants in North America and overseas.

ok, so i have an alligator gar (he's about 21")... i was thinking of getting him a tank mate. at the local fish store (non petsmart or petco) they have large piranha... like the size of your hand... too big to fit in his mouth. i was wondering if getting one would make a nice addition to the tank or would they try to rip each other apart?
also i was wondering if anyone else had any ideas of good tank mates...

got to visit there last weekend the day before turkey leg at jcg. that's a first class facility down there, nice pits, nice well stocked hobby shop, helpful and courteous staff in the hobby shop. plus it's easy to get to and has plenty of parking.
about the track...... hmmmm, what can i say? hated the elevation of the track, only two sets of stairs to access the track and half the time you had to push your way through people standing on the stairs driving. due to the elevation you either had to drive from the drivers stand, or take your life in your hands and stand on a six inch wide wall or it was impossible to see all areas of the track. (the entire track is about 4 ft above floor level) none of that matters on race day when you have corner marshalls but for practice it made crashes a serious pain..... any crash is pretty much a guaranteed flame-out because it took so long to get to your car. they won't allow driving from the track, which would go a long way helping all these problems.
aggravating all the above problems was a technical layout with lots of big air. the general consensus among the group i was with was one word- brutal. everybody there with us that day suffered breakage due to the large jumps. with track access so difficult, everybody agreed the the layout should be toned down somewhat. it was understandable the driving from the track is not permitted, with all the big air, violent crashes, somebody would get hurt eventually.
because of all the above, this facility would be a good place to go race, but i'll pass when it comes to somewhere to go practice. corner marshalls are a requirement at this track, otherwise it's one big hassle....
jiffy riggin' okie
Glad I'm not the only one to think that, arbcj! It's a parts-eater for sure!
sorry that you guys don't like the track, but for alot of people it is a great place. me included.
the track should be going thru an overhaul soon.
hey where's Indy at?? i'm new to the game.. where are the main and/or better houston area tracks??
go big or go home.. you gotta pin it to win it
Losi, it's not so much the track...I liked the previous layout much better. My biggest problem now is the back jumps being so close to the wall and ending where that wall narrows. For someone not familiar with the track, that back wall is a front-end buster for sure.
i wouldn't go so far to say i didn't like the track, i'd race there for sure. throw in some corner marshalls and most everything i mentioned as being a problem goes away. it's just a hassle to practice.Originally Posted by losi b
i was thinking about it some last night laying in bed. if they could put a spot in the track area where you could stand and drive that would be a huge improvement. maybe surround the spot with haybales or something. another possibility would be to convert the pit lane to use for drivers while practicing. you really only need the pit lane on race day. block each end with some haybales and you're set.
another idea i had might be a bit cost and labor intensive but some stairs from the driver's stand to the track would be nice as well.
jiffy riggin' okie
never mind i just heard they closed for thanksgiving and are not going to open back up. ah well, another track in the history books.Originally Posted by arbcj
jiffy riggin' okie
Indy's open and going strong, ARBJC. It's Speed R/C that's gone belly-up.
The races Saturday night at Indy were well run and pretty good. Not too many entered the truggy class, but there were several buggies.
yeah speed r/c is what we were talking about....
jiffy riggin' okie
do any of these tracks have websites or can someone gimme directions???
i only know of the woodlands track and the one off of 59N in new caney
i'm comin from cy-fair highschool area right off of 290
go big or go home.. you gotta pin it to win it
the track(s) that you ask about that we were discussing are all in dallas/ ft worth. i see you are in houston so maybe this link will point you towards something in your area.Originally Posted by ksal854

Hi everyone!
I have been in NYC for 80 days doing some research for my next non-fiction book on "Sex and the City".
Now that I'm back in Japan, I will start asking you guys a lot of questions!
What are the difference between ich, yuck and ew? Seems to me there's not much difference except yuch is no longer in use nowadays.
In the sixth season of "SATC", there's a title "The Ick Factor", hence the question.
"Yuck" (sometimes spelled "yech" but still pronounced as "yuck") is not necessarily out of fashion....many people will still involuntarily utter it when faced with something distasteful. "Yuck" is used more as an actual exclamation rather than as an adjective for something disgusting.
"Ick", on the other hand, is not as readily exclaimed but is used as a common adjective to describe something unappealing. For example, if I told you this particular YouTube video showed a human autopsy, you might decline to view it, stating "That's too icky for me." However, if you were to watch the autopsy video with no warning of what you were about to see, you would most likely wince, avert your eyes and make a "yuck!" or "eeew!" sound, not "ick."
Oh my goodness! I speak Javanese!? Is it pidgin Japanese?? No. it's typo.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Malcolm Armstead scored 22 points, Cleanthony Early added 21 and ninth-seeded Wichita State defeated eighth-seeded Pitt 73-55 Thursday in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Freshman Steven Adams led Pitt (24-9) with 13 points and 11 rebounds.
Carl Hall added 11 points for the Shockers (27-8), who face the winner of the No. 1-ranked Gonzaga-Southern game.
The Shockers forced Pitt into 15 turnovers and held the Panthers to 35 percent shooting, including 1 of 17 from 3-point range.
Pitt's leading scorer, Tray Woodall, missed his first four shots and finished with two points. He shot 1 of 12, including 0 of 5 from beyond the arc, with five turnovers.
The Shockers scored 21 points off turnovers and took advantage at the free throw line, making 33 of 41 attempts.
Wichita State led 26-21 at the break but nearly doubled its offensive output in the second half.
Early's layup and two free throws by Armstead pushed Wichita State's lead to 30-21 early in the second half. Durand Johnson's 3-pointer cut it to 30-26, and the Panthers were within 35-31 following a three-point play by James Robinson. Tekele Cotton answered with a 3-pointer to bump the Shockers' lead to 38-31.
Hall's three-point play with under 12 minutes left gave the Shockers a 10-point lead, 41-31. Pitt pulled within six after four free throws but the Shockers went on a 6-0 run, fueled by a pair of steals, a dunk by Cotton and two more free throws by Early for a 47-35 advantage with 10:13 left.
It was another early exit for the Panthers, who failed to make the field last year, and were knocked out by Butler in their second game in 2011.
The teams were supposed to be mirror images of each other, and in many ways they were — going hard at rebounds, concentrating on defense and having difficulty finding the basket.
With 12 minutes elapsed, Wichita State was shooting just 25 percent and the Panthers 29 percent.
The ugly first half saw the teams combine for as many turnovers (15) as field goals.
Woodall didn't make a basket until 6 minutes remained in the half.
The game was expected to be a defensive struggle, with Pitt allowing just 55.4 points and the Shockers known for dominating the glass with 38 rebounds a game.
As expected, it was physical.
When Pitt 7-footer Adams went in strong for a dunk in the first half, he was fouled hard by Early.
Adams made both free throws with 9:19 left in the half for a 13-11 Pitt lead.
Pitt's Lamar Patterson was called for a flagrant foul late in the first half. Ron Baker made one of the two free throws, then Armstead scored after his own miss on the next possession to give the Shockers a 26-21 lead going into the break.

Judging by this clip from last night's episode of Inside the NBA, allegations of Kellen Winslow's alleged public masturbation incident in a Target parking lot did not escape the attention of Chuck and Shaq.
Chuck got things started with a "take him to Target" joke after proclaiming that Warriors guard Klay Thompson can "really stroke it." It took the other guys a few seconds to catch up, but then the floodgates opened. Out came the zingers!
