A lot has been made about the Bruins' clear push to embrace a youth movement this season. They actually lead the league in games played by rookies. But, apart from Charlie McAvoy, who has more than lived up to the hype, the B's 3 other primary rookies (Matt Grzelcyk has been good, but has not played enough to qualify here), Jake DeBrusk, Anders Bjork, and Danton Heinen, really lack the name recognition of the more high profile rookie leaders this year. This is your Matt Barzals, Nico Hischiers, Will Butchers, etcetera. Because of how important young talent has become in this league, and because these three haven't generated as much hype thus far, I thought I'd look into what kind of value they actually bring to the B's.

To begin with, I took the data collected through Manny Elk's Corsica.hockey database. Using NHL.com's stats page (the only time I will EVER use that abhorrent piece of garbage) to determine the top scoring rookies, I pared my sample frame to the top 25 scoring rookies in the NHL this season as of the winter holiday roster freeze. They are:
Adrian Kempe (LAK)
Alex DeBrincat (CHI)
Alex Kerfoot (COL)
Alex Tuch (VGK)
Anders Bjork (BOS)
Brock Boeser (VAN)
Charles Hudon (MTL)
Charlie McAvoy (BOS)
Christian Fischer (ARZ)
Clayton Keller (ARZ)
Danton Heinen (BOS)
JT Compher (COL)
Jake DeBrusk (BOS)
Jakub Vrana (WSH)
Jesper Bratt (NJD)
Joshua Ho-Sang (NYI)
Kyle Connor (WPG)
Mark Jankowski (CGY)
Martin Frk (DET)
Mathew Barzal (NYI)
Mikhail Sergachev (TBL)
Nico Hischier (NJD)
Pierre-Luc Dubois (CBJ)
Will Butcher (NJD)
Yanni Gourde (TBL)
This includes all 4 rookies of note for the Bruins, as well as a large enough sample size to properly analyze their relative impact across the league. Corsica's database offers 5 different datasets for individual players: Summary, Relative, Individual, On-Ice, and Context. I took all 5 datasets and combined them into one large dataset to analyze the largest number of statistics possible. Then, using some of my own magic, I cooked up a few graphics to help demonstrate why the quartet of DeBrusk, Bjork, McAvoy, and Heinen deserve much more respect than they are currently getting.
This first graphic displays the individual point distribution per 60 minutes of play. The idea behind a "per 60 minutes" statistic is to account for the effect of playing time on production. A top line player is likely to score more than a 4th liner solely based upon them spending more time on the ice than the 4th liner. Points per 60 and similar statistics show how productive a player is the ice time they are being given. The graphic shows each player's goals per 60 (red), primary assists per 60 (orange), and secondary assists per 60 (green) stats. Obviously, Brock Boeser is a goal scoring machine. Adrian Kempe appears to be shredding opponents in slightly less ice time than his peers.

As for the Bruins' 4, Bjork (5th from the top) seems to be relatively well balanced. He looks less productive simply because he is listed directly above the absurdly productive Boeser. However, he is above the median regarding points per 60 production.
McAvoy (8th from the top) appears at first glance to have a really low level of production. This is, however, more of an inditement of his ice time, which will be touched on later. In short, McAvoy is playing significantly more minutes per game than anyone else on this list. So, let's discount him on this graphic.
Heinen (11th from the top) is, based on this metric, an incredibly productive player. What's important to note about him on this graphic is how much of his production are primary points. This means he is directly responsible for a majority of the offense he is producing or contributing to, something that is much more likely to be a repeatable action than a gluttony of secondary assists.
DeBrusk (13th from the top) is 3rd (yes, THIRD) in goals per 60 in this group, behind only Boeser and Kempe. He is also 5th in overall points production, behind only Kempe, Boeser, Barzal, and the much, much older Yanni Gourde. For anyone who didn't think he was worth that 1st Round pick in 2015, consider that he has been a healthy scratch twice already this year. Gourde hasn't, Kempe was a recall a few games into the season, Boeser has missed only a single game, and Barzal hasn't missed one for the Islanders. DeBrusk hasn't had the minutes that Kempe, Boeser, or Barzal has. This is incredibly impressive.
Next, I chose to look at how each player's zone starts were distributed. The percentage of their shifts starting in the offensive zone are shown in red, neutral zone starts in orange, and defensive zone starts in blue. Coaches will often shelter younger or less defensively responsible players by starting more of their shifts in the offensive zone. Bjork is a prime example of this. He is not on the penalty kill in Boston, and no rookie in this group starts a higher percentage of their shifts in the offensive zone. The only one who starts a lower percentage of their shifts in the defensive zone is (curiously enough) Tampa's Mikhail Sergachev, one of only 3 defensemen on this list.

(Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)
Similarly, DeBrusk sees a majority of his shifts start in the offensive zone, and starts the fewest number of his shifts in the defensive zone. Where this gets interesting is Heinen. Heinen is arguably the most balanced individual on this list. There is still a slight advantage to the offensive zone, but his zone starts are almost entirely equally distributed. There is tangible evidence for this, as he is the only one of the B's 3 big rookie forwards who consistently sees time on the penalty kill. It appears he has Bruce Cassidy's trust in his own end. McAvoy also sees a large number of his shifts start in the offensive zone, and has the same offensive, neutral, defensive progression as Bjork and DeBrusk, but it is much less pronounced than those two, and he starts more of a percentage of his shifts in his own end than the other two defensemen on this list, Will Butcher, and Mikhail Sergachev.
This is quite possibly one of my favorite graphics I made. This is a model of a player's shot efficiency. It compares their shooting percentage to the shots generated for per 60 minutes of play. Players to the upper right of the graph are producing lots of shots, and finishing at a consumer rate. The bottom right quadrant is full of players who are shooting at a higher than normal shooting percentage and will, in all likelihood, see their percentages regress towards the mean. The opposite is true in the top left quadrant. These players are generating a ton of shots, but just aren't finishing at the rate at which one would expect them to. The dotted vertical line is the average NHL shooting percentage, 9%. You might be asking, "Why are they all different sized dots?" Excellent question. The dots are all scaled based on the percentage of overall ice time skated by the team that the individual player skated, or TOI%. Players with a large dot are relied on to play more minutes for their team, whereas the tiny dots represent players who regularly see time on the 3rd or 4th line for their respective team. Each of the B's 4 rookies has been labeled.

Now, what do each of their relative positions on this graph tell us? Well, only DeBrusk is shooting above the league average, at 10.64%. Bjork and Heinen are relatively close to the average of 9%, at 8.7% and 8.81% respectively. McAvoy is a defenseman, so his shooting percentage is likely to be lower than the average. He is still hanging around the group average though, at 7.85%, a very impressive rate for a rookie blueliner. All three forwards are at or above the average shooting percentage for the group. Heinen and Bjork are almost at the exact center of the graph, while DeBrusk is actually producing slightly fewer shots per 60 minutes, but appears to be a slightly better finisher at this juncture. Also, McAvoy has the biggest dot. Just thought I'd throw that out there again.
So, we already looked at shooting efficiency, why not how efficient they are offensively in general? This graphic uses the same size scale (TOI%) and compares a player's goals for percentage (the goals they factor into for and against their team divided by all goals scored for and against the said team) to their EXPECTED goals for percentage. Players in the bottom right are underproducing according to this graph (i.e., their expected goals for percentage is higher than their current one by a considerable amount), and those in the top left are overproducing their expected rate.
All four Bruins fall to the right of the 50% mark regarding actual goals for percentage. This means all 4 of them help produce more goals for their team than they allow while they are on the ice. I feel like that might be relatively important. McAvoy and Heinen are both well into the "good" quadrant, and Heinen has the highest expected goals for the percentage of any rookie on this list. DeBrusk and Bjork both fall into the "underproducing" category, which tells me they are probably going to start to score more.

Of note, Heinen's expected goals for percentage is nearly 60%, meaning, based on how he has played, his team should expect to accumulate 60% of the goals scored while he is on the ice. That's ridiculous. What's funnier is McAvoy's actual goals for percentage is OVER 60% (although his expected rate is closer to 55%, still quite good).
Final graphic with this group of rookies. This once again uses the TOI% size scale and compares a player's Corsi For per 60 to their Corsi Against per 60. In short, how are the shot attempts being distributed while they are on the ice? I will let this one speak for itself a bit because Corsi is relatively self-explanatory. A higher number equates to a higher percentage of the shot rates they control per 60 minutes of ice time. "For" is for their own team, and "against" is against their team. Therefore, the Y-axis on this graph is offensive shot attempts, and the X-axis is defensive shot attempts they allow. The dotted axes are the expected average of 50%. I'd say that DeBrusk falls into the "FUN" category (lots of shot attempts for AND against), whereas the other three are relatively defensively responsible. Bjork has the highest Corsi For per 60 rate of the four at 61.81. Interesting…
Now you should have a pretty good idea of how McAvoy, Bjork, Heinen, and DeBrusk all stack up against the league's best young guns. But what about in the Black and Gold?
Remember that Offensive Efficiency graphic earlier? Here's the Bruins' distribution. I have labeled each of the four we have been discussing, as well as the B's top line of Marchand, Bergeron, and Pastrnak, all of whom fall into the "ludicrous" category, and Adam McQuaid, just because he is so clearly the worst of the group despite getting a sizeable chunk of the ice time. This time, I compared shots for the percentage to goals for percentage. As you can see, all four rookies fall into the "Good" quadrant and are better than more than half of the B's roster. Of note is Matt Grzelcyk, who is unlabeled, but represented by the bright pink dot in the far top right. While he's on the ice, the team is producing 65% of the shots, and around 77% of the total goals. If he had played more, he would also be a part of this analysis. It also demonstrates clearly that he should not come out of this lineup in favor of Adam McQuaid, who is absolutely abysmal and has not been on the ice for a goal for this year. Also, Brad Marchand is producing almost 91% of the total goals scored while he is on the ice. I'm sorry, what????

So, in short, you really ought to take Heinen, Bjork, and DeBrusk seriously. McAvoy has gotten a bit of Calder attention based on the sheer amount of minutes he is being asked to play, and the competition he is being asked to play against, but the other 3 really haven't been mentioned at all. DeBrusk and Heinen should absolutely be getting legitimate Calder consideration, and Bjork isn't very far behind. And Don Sweeney hit it out of the park by committing to this youth movement this year. All of these kids appear to indeed be alright. *Insert really ham-fisted Capri-Sun Pun here*

In 2015, 11 year-old Fami arrived in Addis Ababa hoping for treatment for her ameloblastoma (a type of facial tumour). Sadly, the surgeons could not find a way to operate that year, and she was sent home.
In 2016 Fami tried again, travelling hundreds of miles on her own to Addis Ababa to ask for surgery. Thankfully, the surgeons had found a way to operate, but we needed her mum's permission! Project Harar's team travelled across Ethiopia to her remote village to find Fami's mum and get permission for the surgery. Luckily, her mum gave permission, and Fami got her operation.

Languages one of the main cognitive functions that allows us to produce, communicate, and understand ideas through sounds, symbols and/or gestures. In other owrds, language is 'the result of a complex nervous activity that allows individuals to communicate mental states by the production of multi-modal signs that symbolise these states in accordance with a linguistic community´s own convention' (Lecours et al., 1979).
Thus, language disorders appear when language development does not follow typical expected patterns or significant deficits occur in some of its aspects. A total or partial loss of language function is usually called aphasia. We have already discussed aphasias in an earlier post. See here.
Can you imagine not being able to express your thoughts, understand anything of what others say, or not being able to read a sign because you are mixing the letters?
Language problems result in limitations in the daily life of individuals with these disorders. At NeuronUP, we have several exercises for improving language.
'Hangman' is an entertaining game to work on vocabulary that consists of guessing an unknown word, one letter at a time. This activity targets vocabulary and working memory.
An ideal task for treating naming deficits is to name objects with the help of phonological cues.
This exercise for improving language consists of determining whether a series of sentences are either true or false in relation to the situation shown on the screen. At NeuronUP, there are two versions of this task: one, in which sentences are presented auditorily; and another one, in which they are presented in writing, since not all patients have the same type of deficit.
In the following example, clients must listen to sentences presented in auditory form and determine whether they are true or false. This activity targets comprehension in particular.

Q: SQL Server Stored Procedure parameters affect speed of query - Why? I am running a stored procedure on SQL Server 2005 and calling it from a VB.net application.
This stored procedure was taking over 3 minutes to run and I started working on way to speed it up. Quite by accident I stumbled on a solution that reduced the run time from 3 minutes to 3 seconds (no joke, I'm dead serious).
But I don't understand why.
The only 2 parameters that I pass are a start date and an end date (used in the WHERE clause) as so:
ALTER PROCEDURE get_OrderLinessByRegion
     @DateFrom DATETIME,
     @DateTo DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;
 blah, blah, blah

Though some testing I found that when I hard coded the dates in the stored procedure the run times were cut from 3 minutes to 3 seconds.
I ended up with this:
ALTER PROCEDURE get_OrderLinessByRegion
  @DateFrom DATETIME,
  @DateTo DATETIME
AS
BEGIN
    -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
    -- interfering with SELECT statements.
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

       DECLARE @StartDate AS DATETIME
       DECLARE @EndDate AS DATETIME

       SET @StartDate = @DateFrom
       SET @EndDate = @DateTo
       blah, blah, blah

Can anyone tell me why the second version runs so much faster ?
Thanks so much !!

You are viewing Norwich VT Land / Acres between $0 and $30000000 dollars.
Don't miss out on this chance to own nearly 5 acres of land just outside of Norwich! A brook runs throughout on both sides of the road with this property offering a couple of options for new home sites for you to build your dream home!
Private, yet very accessible, and wooded parcel of land along a dead end road in Norwich. This sub-divided lot has a nice slightly sloping building site approved by the town, but other sites on the lot may be more desirable for a house location for the buyer. Final septic test pits and VT State approved septic design by Buyer. There is a very nice and gradual driveway location off of Meetinghouse Road to the approved house site. Stonewalls and walking trails highlight this beautiful lot. Possible nice views to the west at the rear of the lot with tree cutting.
Wooded lot with great view potential to the east with clearing. Wonderful privacy. Surveyed, perc tested and ready for your house to be built! 30+- acres.
Beautiful open meadow lot, with some wooded portions. VERY Convenient, 3.1 miles from Hanover Inn corner. Lot has existing 2-story garage, with capability of living quarters on 2nd floor; heat, electric, state-approved septic leach field and drilled well already exist. Would be perfect for horses. Seasonal small stream runs across pasture--possible pond site? Could be purchased with adjacent 20.5 acres lot, MLS #4504481, $115,000. The property would seem to have further subdivision potential, especially when combined with MLS #4504481, and recent septic suitability research indicates probable potential for multiple units on the site.
Hitting that "oh so hard to find" sweet spot: Just enough acreage, just enough privacy, just enough neighborhood feel, just close enough to town and just close enough to trails. If you have had the notion to build but the process seemed overwhelming then this is your answer. Flat, cleared with on-site power, roughed-in driveway and a septic design in-place. You get to make the fun choices like "where will the garden go?" and "which direction gets the best sun exposure?" A worthwhile pursuit at a very fair price. Come put your shovel in the ground!
See MLS Property & Listing Details & 11 images.
The land comprises of 27.285 acres which could be subdivided to two lots of 25 acres and 2.285 acres which would allow the owner to keep 25 acres in current use and to use the remaining 2.285 acres as a buildable lot. Great westernly views- located close to town but still offers privacy.
A kingdom awaits. Not more than fifteen minutes from the Dartmouth Green sits an amazing opportunity. Encompassing 172 acres in Norwich and Sharon, laced with streams and trails and bounded by large conserved parcels, you'll find several excellent building sites. Access is from a town maintained road and a logging road is in place to get you the rest of the way. The parcel could be kept as one or divided into three or more lots.
Talk about the opportunity of a lifetime! Over 63 acres of undeveloped land in Norwich to call your own! Tucked away at the end of a country road, this property consists of varying terrain and has plenty to offer. The brook, as well as a variety of trees and berry bushes support abundant wildlife. Numerous hiking trails can be found on the property and in the surrounding area, including The Appalachian Trail. Several century-old foundations and thousands of feet of beautiful stone walls will take you back in time to a place where families farmed sheep on this very hillside. Abutting conservation land only adds to the privacy of this location. What are you waiting for? Come build your dream home just minutes from downtown Hanover. Approximately 5 miles to Dartmouth College and 8 miles to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

Mirthala Salinas Interview In LA Magazine
Click here for Shawn Hubler's story.
ERSNews writes:
Mirthala Salinas, the former TV reporter and Telemundo TV/KVEA anchorwoman in Los Angeles has finally broken her long silence. In a feature interview in Los Angeles Magazine, the once rising star sat down with Shawn Huber, a former Los Angeles Times Reporter. This is her first interview since her affair with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa became front page news last summer.
At the time the affair was revealed publically, Salinas and three KVEA executives were suspended and reprimanded for violating ethical and conflict of interest provisions while working for the station in relation to Salinas' affair with the Mayor. Mirthala left the station in October, 2007 under cloudy terms both Salinas and the station still refuse to disclose.
Although Salinas claims otherwise in the just published Los Angeles Magazine interview, ERS News reported exclusively in 2007 that her penchant for dating high powered Latino politicians was nothing new. In an exclusive report on July 3, the day the scandal and affair with the Mayor picked up widespread mainstream media attention, ERS reported that Salinas had a previous romantic relationship with Fabian Nunez, California's Assembly Speaker. That relationship, prompted complaints from inside Telemundo about conflicts of interest at the time. Salina's claims in the new Los Angeles Magazine interview that "it was never a big deal."
On July 3rd, 2007 Mayor Villaraigosa publicly confirmed the affair reports for the first time. Before this time the Mayor had denied the reports of the demise of his marriage, even doing so in an interview with the LA Times.
In the interview published yesterday, Salinas claims her relationship didn't get past the "friends" stage with the Mayor until after November 2006, but the LA Times reported that a neighbor in November, 2005 had spotted the Mayor going to see her at her condo and used the instance to imply the relationship between the Mayor and Salinas was far more than "just friends." Salinas says at the time of this sighting at the condo the Mayor was just one of many invited friends to a "potluck dinner" she was throwing at her place. The Mayor left later that evening on a charter flight to Detroit to attend the funeral of Rosa Parks the next morning (11/2/2005).
In the LA Magazine story, Salinas goes to great pains to try and distance herself from the claim that her "personal relationship" with the Mayor, either intimate or just friends, was not getting her any special access or special treatment. The facts say otherwise as ERSNews reported back in 2007. Salinas told Los Angeles Magazine that the "romance" stage with the Mayor began in April of 2006. Before that they were just "friends." The Mayor announced his separation from his wife Corina on June 8th 2007 and confirmed his relationship with Salinas on July 3rd 2007. The affair, according to Salinas, continued on until October of 2007, when the media spotlight and relentless press coverage proved too much for the couple and they "broke-up."
The interview which is scant of new reporting about the scandal makes some errors on the reporting of the story as it unfolded. It shows a penchant for blaming the ills of the media on those dreaded "bloggers." Most of the reporting on the scandal and the things claimed to have been reported only by "bloggers" where in fact reported by mainstream media outlets like the LA Times, Daily News and others.
The most serious error in the LA Magazine story is the claim that ERS News.com posted a picture (seen above) of the Lexus SUV Mirthala Salinas was driving at the time outside the Mayor's Getty House mansion in August of 2007. Not so, the picture was not posted or reported on until two months later in October 2007, when ERS broke the story that Salinas had used the oldest trick in the book; she fled Los Angeles under the media spotlight only to return in a new car purchased in Arizona during her time hiding out there with her family. with Arizona plates, we knew what she was doing but we didn't publish the information until we felt it was confirmed that she was driving this new car to help avoid the media who were trying to catch up with her. We published our story (including the picture of her "new" car for the first time) on October 5th, 2007.
Whether or not Salinas can rekindle her career is anybody's guess, but we think she should try learning before she attempts a comeback in journalism — "that the facts always get in the way of a good story." It was reported today by the website CurbedLA that Salinas is engaged and headed off to get married in Mexico in May to Yanni Raz, who she dated before and after the affair with the Mayor of LA.

Citizen journalists? Who saw THAT coming?
March 9, 2019 Editorials 0
It goes without saying that when The St Augustine Record was owned by Florida Publishing Company, they never got the concept of citizen journalism. But neither did their successor, Morris Communications — well, at least not until October 2, 2017, when they were forced to sell the newspaper. By then, Historic City News, St Augustine and St Johns County's free press, was already seventeen years old.
Print is dead.
It's fair to say that the "old guard" at The St Augustine Record was as confused about Internet technology as they were about the importance of including their readers in the newsgathering process. Its also fair to say that, at least before Morris filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January of 2010, they were continuing to invest other people's money in obsolete ink-and-newsprint communications. They amassed $482.4 million in debt and had only $175.5 million in assets.
To this day, the latest owner of The St Augustine Record and 145 other daily newspapers operated through its GateHouse division, New Media Investment Group Inc. is growing revenue — but not because of its newspaper business, according to CEO Michael Reed speaking in the company's quarterly conference call last week.
Reed reported that New Media Investment Group reached $1.526 billion in revenue for 2018, a 13.7 percent increase, but "traditional print advertising" made up only 41 percent of it's total revenue compared to 48 percent just two years ago in 2016.
Consumers break the old habit of buying a newspaper.
With the Sunday paper costing $3.00, Reed admitted that declining circulation has negatively impacted the print newspaper business. Sunday circulation at The St. Augustine Record was down to 9,908 copies in 2018. The Florida Times-Union fared no better, taking a 21 percent drop, down to 46,988 copies in just one year.
Perhaps readers and advertisers recognized that they are paying more for less at the newspaper. Job sharing and consolidation appear to be one strategy, at least for GateHouse Media newspapers in Florida, according to an announcement September 7, 2018.
The St. Augustine Record publisher, Tony Bernados, was moved to Augusta and wasn't replaced. The Florida Times-Union in Jacksonville publisher retired, and The Daytona Beach News-Journal publisher has been re-named "group publisher". Locally, we now have one-third of a newspaper publisher, Bill Offill. Does the lack of management show?
Consumers did not go to the newspaper website.
According to the 2018 New Media Investment Group Inc. and GateHouse annual reports, the local newspaper websites showed a decline in traffic during the same period. The 2018 report showed that The St Augustine Record website, staugustine.com, lost one-third of its monthly page views last year; dropping from 1.5 million to 1.0 million. The Florida Times-Union lost a whopping 44% of its monthly page views; dropping from 10.4 million to about 5.8 million monthly page views in the same one-year period.
Wonder where they went? *chuckles*

Dana Morcus is too young to recall a certain '60s mantra: If you love something, set it free. But she has practiced it thousands of times —almost 10,000 times in the last three years by her calculations.
But Morcus, 36, is no flower child. The houses in her Brunswick neighborhood are strictly suburban. Her work includes home-schooling her teenage son and looking after a gregarious kindergartner. She also works hard to spread the written word, one book at a time.
As part of the nearly 600,000-member international community at bookcrossing.com, which promotes literacy, Morcus leaves books in public places such as coffee shops, fast-food restaurants and doctors' offices. She and her fellow members call it "releasing books into the wild," and they do it anywhere someone might happen upon them.
"I release every single day," Morcus says. During the last week of September alone she gave away 88 books. Morcus joined the online community in January 2005. So far, 1,082 of her books have been "caught" by readers who've reported their whereabouts on the Web site. She's also brought 76 new members to bookcrossing.com and made new friends along the way. Occasionally, she'll get a tiny gift in the mail, maybe a scented candle or bag of chocolates, from one of them.
Morcus frequents used bookstores and library and yard sales to buy up titles. She tapes a "free book" label on the spine of each one. Then, she releases. And we're not talking about dropping a spare tome here or there. She releases by the armload, the box load.
She'll also mail them to fellow bookcrossing.com friends, like a Nebraska member who distributes books to single parents and poor youngsters, and a second-grade class in West Jordan, Utah, who have sent her thank-you notes, photos and a handmade birthday card.
She's doing it simply because she wants everyone to read more. Her one-time goal had been to release a book for each person living in Ohio. But the state has about 11.5 million residents — way too many books for even a pro like Morcus to think about unloading.
"I could see how bookcrossing could be obsessive," she says. But she won't let it take over her life. Besides, she has other things to do: garden, can and freeze the vegetables she grows, and, of course, read.


3) I'm glad I am not a "freezer"
So with this in mind, it's time to add a bit more to the discussion on aerobatics.
For both my RV-10 and my RV-14, my answer is: "All of it."
A while back I had ordered myself a couple of Para-Phernalia Mini Softie parachutes, because that's really what you should do, and while the regs allow you to do aerobatics without a chute while alone, if there is more than one person in the plane then both the pilot and co-pilot (and any other passengers) also need chutes.
16" wide container for myself...Allows for a thinner back layer.
15" Wide container for the 2nd chute...gives a thicker back.
My wife and daughter both need plenty of extra seat tilt than the normal RV-14 allows. They need a full 4" block of foam behind the seat back to elevate it enough, and 3" thick blocks on the rudder pedals to reach. So for them, the thicker chute works great. I did buy 2 of the 240lb versions of chute, despite them being small. This keeps it flexible to be used with other OFB's like myself. For my chute, I need to remove the seat back cushion to fit in the RV-14, and to be quite honest, while the RV-14 fits bigger pilots, I could still use a couple more inches of recline to the seats, when wearing a chute. So the 16" at least helps with that situation a bit.
So far I've been happy and lucky enough that although I've screwed up a couple of maneuvers, none of them kept the airplane from flying, but I wanted to be better prepared for the time when the unexpected happens. This means spin recovery time. So with that in mind, it was time to spin the RV-14. The only other plane I've ever been in a spin in, is a Citabria, a long time ago, with a CFI. For the RV-14, it would be a new experience, but as I found out, it isn't bad at all. The RV-14 spins easily with just pro-spin rudder input, but it also recovers very easily with just opposite rudder. In fact, I found that I had to be careful not to use full opposite rudder because the rudder is just too effective to use full opposite, for most spins.
Here's a video showing some spins in both directions. I entered them with the power pulled way back, waited for the brink of the stall, full rudder with neutral aileron, and then it spun. With the power already pulled back and the aileron already neutral, the recovery was basically just via rudder, and it did not require a bunch of nose down elevator to get it flying again. It does feel like it could wind up quick, with the wrong inputs. Also, for recovery, I found that recovery took between 200 and 500' in general.
This leads me to other other aspect of spins...fear. Many people I know are afraid of spins. Honestly, I was a little too. Not so much afraid of doing them but afraid of not knowing exactly how the RV-14 would behave and recover. But many people are afraid of getting into a spin. I think this is brought on by stall training in primary flight training. It's at that time that it's driven into the student's mind that "Spins are what kill lots of pilots, especially when turning final", and "Keep the ball centered during a stall or you can inadvertently spin". Either way, spins are taught in a way that plants the fear in the student and makes them believe spins lead to nearly certain death. And, since a stall must happen to spin, that same feeling is carried over to stalls.
Stalls, in the RV's, are especially benign. There is LOTS of pre-stall buffeting of the wings, to warn the pilot of an impending stall, and when it does still, there is no huge nose drop like a cessna experiences. In fact, you may be fully stalled, descending at 2000fpm, with your nose high. It may or may not roll off on a wing, but almost always, recovery will happen if the person just lets off any back pressure on the stick. They recover very easily and fly right out of the stall.
Back a few years ago, one of my kids did a science presentation of wing stalls in an airplane so we went out and tufted the wing and demonstrated it. This is the resulting video of that flight. It's pretty neat to see the airflow begin to be disturbed, and you can even see the airflow reverse over the wing in some places.
It's a neat little demonstration.
Here are some pics of the mini-softie chutes, and a couple of a farm field with a corn maze that we happened to see while turning downwind to land.

Like a Pinkberry, except for custom donuts. Seriously.
Donut Friend is a colorful stand in Highland Park that's using the Pinkberry/Chipotle custom-food model on your favorite desserts that aren't birthday cakes or Flintstones Push Up pops, all from a dude who used to produce albums for bands like Blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World.
So what's the process like? Step up to the sneeze guard and get your choice of daily-made 'nut: traditional, vanilla cake, chocolate cake, or "Gluten-Free-ish", which you won't be ordering, so don't worry about the fine print there.
... and then you can put even more in the middle: fresh fruits, ricotta cheese, yogurt, and more.
Then, they'll make it as glazed as your eyes (maple/fudge/etc.) and stick it with toppings ranging from crushed Oreos, to cayenne pepper, to bacon. So, yeah, you'll be getting bacon.
Of course, if that seems like too much work, you can just order one of their pre-tested faves, mostly named after bands, like this Chocolate From The Crypt (chocolate glaze, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and chocolate shavings).
Or this gruyere-&-honey-stuffed, sugar-glazed "GG Almond", which probably is not that hard to OD on.
... loaded up with apple jam, raspberry habanero jam, peanut butter, and banana, and topped w/ maple glaze, coconut, and bacon. And if you're concerned about health, fear not: the ricotta cheese is optional.

Bajaj Pulsar AS150 to be discontinued - Report
15/02/2017 - 10:39 | Bajaj Pulsar, Bajaj | Neelanjan Chakraborty
The Bajaj Pulsar brand has been offering affordable performance since 2001.
It is a very well known fact that Bajaj axes models from its line-up faster than anyone else. A report in BikeAdvice reveals that Bajaj will be discontinuing the Bajaj Pulsar AS150. The bike, called as an adventure sport by Bajaj, was launched alongside the Pulsar AS200 in 2015.
The Bajaj Pulsar AS150 uses a 149.5 cc mill which produces 17 PS of maximum power and 13 Nm of peak torque.
The Bajaj Pulsar 200NS had also been discontinued in 2015 to give more mileage to the RS200 and AS200. When both these models did not provide it with the desired results, the 200NS was re-introduced.
Also Read: Bajaj sold 3,000 units of Bajaj Dominar 400 in January 2017
The report, without providing specifics, adds that while Bajaj has axed the AS lineup of motorcycles, this will not be the last time we hear about the adventure brand.
The Bajaj Pulsar AS150 is powered by a 149.5 cc air cooled, twin spark, DTS-i mill which is capable of producing 17 PS of maximum power at 9,500 rpm and 13 Nm of peak torque at 7,000 rpm. The bike gets drum brakes in the rear, projector headlamp and perimeter frame.

ACT ONE A busload of happy new guests arrives at Camp Karefree ("Camp Kare-Free Song"). Nervous and depressed, Teddy Stern comes by car, driven by her stuffy fiancé Herman Fabricant. She is here for a rest cure before her upcoming wedding. Teddy meets her friend Fay Fromkin, who is excited at the prospect of bunking with Teddy and "painting the camp red" together. After Herman has left, Teddy confesses to Fay that she is having second thoughts about him; Fay takes charge of Teddy's engagement ring, promising to give it back when they leave. Fay introduces Teddy as single to everybody. Already things seem to be looking up ("There's Nothing Nicer Than People"). Teddy meets the social director, Itchy Flexner, who sings, dances, does imitations, tells stories, and generally entertains ("Social Director"). Then she meets Pinky Harris, a dashing womanizer who seems to be interested in her. She notices Fay flirting with the athletic director, Harry "Muscles" Green. Fay admits that she flirts with pretty much any man that moves ("Shopping Around"). In the locker room, the waiters are singing about old times ("Bright College Days"). Lou Kandel, the camp director, reminds the waiters that their jobs aren't done unless every girl has a guy – nothing sexual, of course, just good clean socializing. They have to get cleaned up and go dance with the girls in the social hall. At Camp Karefree, we understand, the majority of paying guests are women; in fact, most of them have been saving up all year for just these two weeks. For the waiters, it's either dance or get fired ("Mix and Mingle"). The waiters have arrived at the social hall, and some girls rush inside excitedly from the porch. All the paying male guests are out playing poker. But Teddy isn't in the mood for dancing. She listens to some of the girls wistfully imagining that tonight could be the night they meet the man of their dreams. ("Could Be"). Then they rush off excitedly to dance. Chick Miller, one of the employees, strolls out casually on to the porch, unaware of Teddy. Schmutz, one of Itchy's assistants, comes to tell Chick that he'd better start dancing because word has gotten back to Kandel that he refused to dance with one of the girls. Chick hurriedly convinces the reluctant Teddy to dance with him, just as Kandel enters. Inside the social hall, Itchy organizes everyone in a get-acquainted dance ("Tripping the Light Fantastic"). Chick is still with Teddy at the end and, offering to escort her home, thanks her for getting him out of a tight spot. Pinky meanwhile makes it clear that he has designs on Teddy – in fact, he wants Itchy to help lure Teddy to him. Walking through the woods, Chick sings to Teddy a song the band is playing in the dance hall ("Wish You Were Here"). It's obvious that Chick and Teddy are falling for each other even though they tell each other they can't get involved. Chick is going to law school and has to put all his time and money towards that. Teddy is of course really engaged – though she tells Chick her doctor has told her to avoid emotional entanglements, which give her health problems. It sounds perfect! The two strike a deal: for Chick to keep his job, he needs to look as though he's romancing the female guests, and Teddy is happy to avoid anything long-term. They decide to spend all their "social" time together for the next two weeks. They dance the last dance of the evening ("Where Did the Night Go?"). About a week later, out on the athletic field, it appears that everyone (especially the girls) is exhausted from all the sports activities "Muscles" has been organizing, and all of Itchy's social events are going unattended because people are too tired. Kandel tells Itchy that if the social events don't pick up he might just have "Muscles" do something else. Pinky pulls Teddy aside to tell her that he has sent for a newly designed dress from his firm in New York – it would look beautiful on her. In fact, it's going to be the prize for the Miss Camp Karefree Bathing Beauty contest. (He's one of the judges.) Teddy ignores this obvious pass and goes off with Chick on the handlebars of a bicycle. On their return, Teddy and Chick are confronted by just about the entire camp who are seeing "love in bloom" ("Certain Individuals"). Fay is flirting with every guy around and Itchy is getting more and more jealous by the minute. He decides to have a candlelight evening in the social hall. It will be so romantic that all the girls will forget "Muscles" and his athletics. But Itchy's plan backfires when the social hall catches fire. Kandel is so mad at Itchy that he demotes him to Boat House Boy and puts "Muscles" in charge of the social events. The next day, far out in the lake on Eagle Rock, Chick confesses to Teddy that he loves her – he even proposes marriage ("They Won't Know Me"). Teddy, for her part, loves Chick, too, but she can't call off her wedding to Herman. Silently, they go back to the boathouse, where Itchy is getting organized. Chick confronts Fay: she knew all along, didn't she, that Teddy was engaged. Fay gives Teddy her ring back. All the girls, ready for the Miss Camp Karefree contest, appear in their bathing suits. Chick volunteers to cheer for Gussie; Teddy tells Pinky he can be her sponsor in the contest, and goes off to change into a bathing suit ("Summer Afternoon"). Pinky awards the prize dress to Teddy, and she gives him a kiss. Chick, in a jealous fit, paints a red line down Pinky's body, and Kandel threatens to fire him. Teddy bursts into tears. End of Act One. ACT TWO Everyone at the camp is sitting around a campfire. Fay reports to Pinky that Teddy is too ashamed to meet him. She's been talking to her mother in New York, and might be leaving the camp soon. Pinky thinks that if the group sang a nice loud song, Teddy would probably come out and join them. Itchy leads the group in a rousing number ("Don Jose") that he hopes will also bring Fay back to him. On the contrary, Fay ends up kissing "Muscles" at the end of the song and a fight breaks out. Fay makes peace by passing drinks around to the combatants and telling them just to get along ("Everybody Love Everybody"). Pinky prompts Chick to stand up and sing "Wish You Were Here." Gussie quickly laps up Chick when he finishes. Teddy comes out in response to a call to the telephone. Pinky tries to get Teddy drunk and take her back to his cabin, but before anything else can happen, it starts to rain and everyone runs for cover. Teddy has stopped at Pinky's cabin for an umbrella, though Pinky has other ideas ("Relax"). Itchy comes over to talk with Pinky and a panicked Teddy hides in the bathroom while Pinky attempts to get rid of him. By the time Itchy leaves, Teddy has emerged from the bathroom with an empty glass, wearing the sexy dress she won in the beauty contest. Chick enters the bunk house with Teddy's engagement ring, which he tries to force on her finger. If she's an engaged woman, she better start acting like one! Pinky goes to the bathroom in preparation to seduce her, but Teddy passes out on the bed. Pinky takes the engagement ring from the night table and slips it on the sleeping Teddy's hand. The next morning, Herman Fabricant has appeared outside the social hall to bring his young bride-to-be home, but no one seems to know where she is. Then Itchy and Marvin realize that their girlfriends have been out all night dancing to Be-Bop records in the music library. Fay and some of the other kids enter dancing like cool cats ("Where Did the Night Go?" – Be-Bop Version). "Muscles" takes the kids off to play basketball, and Teddy finds Herman looking for her. Even though nothing has happened between Teddy and Pinky, it seems that Pinky is out accepting congratulations for his conquest. Even though this "loose behavior" is something Herman shouldn't accept, he is ready to forgive and forget. He will take Teddy back to New York, marry her, and treat her like a queen. Herman goes to get the car. Itchy tells everyone that he's not even Boat Boy anymore. It seems that he forgot to tie up the boats last night during the storm and they all floated away. Teddy informs Chick that she's leaving; he's polite, but aloof. Itchy chastises Teddy for not putting up a fight; she should make Pinky tell the truth. Teddy is encouraged and flattered that Itchy cares so much ("Flattery"). Finally, Teddy decides to go to the basketball game, where Pinky is acting as referee, and confront him. The paying guests ("Muscles"'s team) are playing against the waiters (Chick's team). Itchy arrives and disrupts the game so badly that "Muscles" declares the game officially over. Teddy asks Pinky why he's telling everyone she succumbed to him last night; the whole camp thinks she's a "loose woman." Pinky resists telling the truth, since he is known far and wide as "thousand percent Harris." Herman overhears all this and is satisfied that Teddy is not "loose." Teddy drives off with Herman; Chick does nothing to stop her. "Muscles" quits his job and leaves on the spot. Kandel panics! Who's going to run the camp? Itchy, of course! Itchy mobilizes everyone to dance. Suddenly, Herman enters and plops down two suitcases, while Teddy runs to Chick and falls into his arms. Before Herman goes, however, he gives Chick the engagement ring, which Chick slips onto Teddy's finger. ("Wish You Were Here" – reprise)

Set in a summer camp for adults, the story of Wish You Were Here – adapted from Arthur Kober's 1937 play Having Wonderful Time by the author and by director Joshua Logan – had enough romantic entanglements to delight the most jaded theatergoer. With Harold Rome contributing a perfectly suited collection of songs, and a cast that included the cream of Broadway's new talent – Jack Cassidy, Patricia Marand, Sheila Bond, and Paul Valentine, among them – the musical had its premiere at the Imperial Theatre on June 25, 1952, and settled for a long run of 598 performances. First LP release: July 14, 1952
