Which wing? How to choose?
Wing reviews rave about this wing and that wing. The paragliding forum is full of punters raving about their recent purchase. Your local dealer raves about his favourite brand. Pilots in your area tend to fly a certain brand and on it goes. How do you read between the lines? How do you make an informed choice? And when the information is either overwhelmingly positive, or worse, conflicting, which wing do you choose? And just what is it that you should be considering when it comes to choosing your ideal wing anyway?
In this article we'll touch on all the factors you should consider. We'll look behind the fluff, and get to what's really important. Just how important is wing category? Where should you be on the weight range? We'll explore the idea of "useable performance" versus quoted performance? We'll also have a detailed look at the subject of "handling", the different wing "flavours" on offer and the questions you should be asking before buying.
Whether EN or LTF, wings are tested mainly for passive recovery characteristics – that is how they behave or recover from very specifically defined collapses in benign still air conditions with no pilot input. Although this is arguably the only quantitative way a wing can be tested, the limits of these testing procedures cannot be overstated. THEY DO NOT quantify a wing's propensity to collapse in the first place; nor do hint at how much active piloting a wing will require to avoid the collapse in the first place; nor do they tell you much about how a wing will recover in turbulent air; nor do they tell you how a wing will recover from more severe collapses (asymetrics are of a limited size during testing for example); nor do they tell you how likely or otherwise a wing is to cravat and so on and so on. A wing's rating is therefore only half the story. Later on in this article we'll look at some other factors you should consider. For now, let's look at another common misconception.
Although some lower-end wings are very solid and collapse resistant (and you might even liken some models to flying a truck(!?)), it's still a piece of material that if put in the right (or wrong(!) place) can lead to unrecoverable scenarios. Every now and then, having briefed clients for a particular site and the danger areas to avoid, someone will pipe up, "Oh, I'll be ok: I'm only flying a "1" and it doesn't collapse, or even if it does it pops out again immediately". Whilst that might be true in most situations including mild turbulence, put any wing in the wrong place – strong turbulence such as rotor and it can crumple into little ball never to re-inflate. Remember that keeping safe is more about where you put your wing than which wing you choose to hang underneath. No wing is bullet proof.
This (very false statement), or something similar, is something I hear disturbingly often. Pilots are often tempted into a higher wing category by this thinking more than any other factor save perhaps peer pressure. Please remember that the vast majority of higher end wings have very few higher end ratings. For example, to be a 1-2, a wing only has to respond as a 1-2 in one testing configuration. It is then classified according to its highest rating, i.e. in this case 1-2. Likewise, most 2 s score only a few 2s and often only one. YOUR WING IS NOT a 1-2 if it scores a 2 in just one test. It's a 2!! For example, the Gin GTO, Gin's highest certified wing scores only 2 Ds, but ask anyone who flies one. It's a proper full on D / 2-3. The passive recovery testing categories, although limited, give us the best "on-paper" idea of how a wing behaves. A 2 is a 2 is a 2. Kid yourself at your peril!
So how do you choose the right wing rating for you?
In my opinion about half the pilots flying ENC (LTF2/LTFC) wings shouldn't be. They move up for supposed higher performance, but with the reduced passive safety they leave themselves far more vulnerable than they'll hopefully(!) ever realise. To move up from the 1-2 category, pilots should be flying regularly, should be flying at least 70hours per year and should have excellent wing handling and wing control skills. Then and only then, (ie with excellent wing control skills), a 2 might even be considered safer than a 1-2: its increased sensitivity, manoeuvrability, speed and glide could be considered safety features – IN THE RIGHT HANDS.
1. Have a look at the manufacturers (not the dealers!) website. Who are they aiming their wing at? They have a reputation to look after and that involves not selling wings to pilots that aren't yet ready. Plenty of pilots have flown 100km or more on a 1 for example. Upgrading a wing rarely by itself results in bigger xc distances. Experience does.
2. Consider the aspect ratio. In the last 3 years the aspect ratio of some wings have been increasing in certain categories. Increased aspect ratios help a wing's performance, but a high aspect ratio requires more "management" from the pilot. Compare aspect ratio for a hint as to how it handles! The Gradient XC2 for example, scored an ENC and thus attracted a lot of pilots onto a very high aspect wing (6.4!)The XC2 is a "safe" wing, but it's aspect ratio is still 6.4 and despite it's EN-C rating it was clearly aiming it at EN-D and LTF2/3 pilots.
3. Talk to an experienced pilot who can give you an honest opinion – remember this is probably not your flying "peers" and might not even be your local dealer. Consider the performance points in the rest of this article. Performance starts with where you are on the weight range.
Wings are sold in different sizes depending on the all up weight (pilot plus wing harness and everything else) of the assemblage. Since the recommended flying weights (to which the wings are subject to passive safety tests) usually overlap this can often leave pilots with a choice of where to be on the "weight-range". Being near the top of the weight range will mean that a wing is more highly "loaded".
The more highly loaded a given wing, the faster it will fly, and the more collapse resistant it will be. A higher loaded wing will also behave more dynamically, that is it will respond to inputs more directly. Collapse recovery will tend to be faster. The glide angle is little affected (assuming low porosity ie a wing in good condition) by a wing's loading. A more highly loaded wing will also generally be easier to launch in strong conditions or higher winds, easier for YOU to collapse (ie big-ears and B-line, stalls in air or on the ground) and most importantly, the handling will feel more direct and responsive making highly loaded wings much more fun to fly.
So what of the disadvantages of flying "heavy"? First of all, collapses. Although less likely in the first place, if a highly loaded wing does collapse it will potentially turn more and dive more on recovery for example. That is, everything is more dynamic. In my experience whilst it's important to be aware of the potentially more dynamic nature of the collapse, the increased turn is only slightly more than a lightly loaded wing because the collapse opening is usually faster. Add to that, the fact that a highly loaded wing is less likely to collapse in the first place and flying heavy really isn't any more dangerous than flying light. Indeed in many ways it's safer. The difference in speed between top of the weight range and bottom of the weight range is about 5km/h! This is a huge difference and a factor that highly favours being heavy on your wing.
The second perceived disadvantage to being heavy on a wing is to performance. The increased speed as a result of higher loading will lead to a slightly increased sink rate. However, since glide is not affected, when it comes to xc flying the slight increase in sink rate is of little consequence except in very light scratchy conditions. In normal or even light XC conditions (ie thermals of +1m/s or more) the increased speed and loading will improve your "speed to fly" making it easier to fly further particularly if there is likely to be any into wind gliding or sink to fly through.
Being light on your wing is old-school thinking from 20 years ago when wings could barely soar let-along fly XC. All in all, it's worth being as close to the top of the weight range as possible. Given the choice between being light on your wing or heavy, I'd choose heavy every-time. Welcome to easier more dynamic flying, increased performance, less dragging on launch and more fun in the air.
No discussion on choosing a wing would be complete without discussing performance. What do we mean by performance? There are two important aspects to a wing's performance that need to be discussed. These are speed and glide (angle). The sink rate of a wing is by definition a function of the other two (or vice-a versa if you like). Speed is useful to get places quickly and glide lets you arrive there higher (or just get there as opposed to not quite making it).
So given that published performance data is hardly worth bothering with, what do we mean by "useable performance"? Increased speed or increased glide is not worth having if a wing can't turn or if a wing collapses all the time. There are three factors to consider when it comes to useable performance.
1) Thermalling: Given that, when it comes to xc flying, a significant amount of time is spent thermalling, one question you should ask yourself is how easy it is to thermal with a wing? How does it turn? How does it bite into thermals? How easy is it to manage in thermals of different types?
2) On bar: If a wing cannot be flown on full bar in anything but the smoothest of conditions because of its propensity to collapse for example, then what use is the so called top-speed? How well does it deal with turbulence on bar?
3) Thermic air: Similarly, when it comes to normal flying conditions, can you let the wing fly hand's up or does it always need reining in? Again the manufacturers claims are made even less significant if the wing needs so much managing that its claimed performance can only be reached in still air. Turbulence no matter how light will always reduce a wing's glide, because none of them are (even close to) 100% efficient. How a wing performance changes with turbulence is even harder to measure!
Wing weight: lightness vs. heavy?
Some wings are heavier than others. This is not just a result of the type of cloth with which they are made but also how much internal construction there is and of course the amount of line used, risers and so on. Recently there has been a move to heavier construction in the leading edge, but thankfully the heavier Gelvnor cloths are now rarely used. A light wing will tend to be easier to launch and have a crisper more dynamic less "sluggish" feel to it than some of the weightier wings. So what about the very light weight wings. Wings less than 5kg tend to fall into two categories: the "travel" wings (4- 5 kg) and the "mountain" wings (less than 4kg). Be careful about going too light – these wings tend to be made from material that is so light that the life expectancy and durability is very noticeably compromised.
Some pilots like brake pressure that is light and others heavy. Heavy brake pressure can make a wing feel more reassuring, but can also be tiring if you spend a long time in the air. Heavy brake pressure is a particular feature that can be found more often in lower end wings, but is often also found in higher end wings. Some manufactures have heavier handling than others. Some have a direct feel where you feel very much "in touch" with your wing and others a more damped feel.
The higher end wings generally have shorter brake travel. Indeed there is a strong correlation between brake travel and rating which is also inherent in the rating systems. The shorter brake travel common in higher end wings means that corrections and piloting requires only small inputs which can be less tiring. It also means that is a wing is easier to stall either inadvertently (!) or on landing when you need to collapse a wing. The long brake travel common to EN-A and LTF1 wings can make them cumbersome and difficult to "kill" in stronger winds.
As well as length of travel some wings have very progressive "pressure" and others feel more on or off. Most pilots prefer a more progressive feel.
A very stable wing is very difficult to manoeuvre. A completely unstable wing would be a nightmare to try and keep in the air. The question then is how stable should your wing be? Stability in pitch usually means its more efficient and smoother to fly, but some instability will allow for more manoeuvrability and playfulness.
Most lower end wings are quite pitch stable, but suffer from more roll instability. Roll is more difficult to pilot, but it can render a wing more playful and "wangy".
How a wing launches is also a factor to consider when making a purchase. Whereas most low end wings do not have a tendency to overshoot, some of the less pitch stable wings will require a more polished launch technique.
How a wing turns is surprisingly complicated. It is a function of its pitch, roll, yaw, and responsiveness to brake inputs. Although some wings tend to dive more on turning than others, none of them turn totally flat. If a wing tends to dive on turn, how it recovers (and climbs) on exiting a turn is the real question to ask. In the end, this is a complicated area of dynamics. There are different ways to turn different wings. Experiment safely. Enjoy and never stop learning.
In conclusion, if you want the best wing, pick one that's not going to scare you. Be honest about your current level. Maybe the wing you currently own is just fine and your money would be better spent on some decent training? Don't be tempted to think too much about performance. Instead focus on where you'll be on the weight range and how the wing handles. By all means test fly 3 or 4 wings (not more or you'll probably confuse yourself) or if you lack the experience and time consider the opinions of trusted pilots (more than those reviews!) All that's left, is to choose a snazzy colour, make sure you've got swivel brakes (or whatever other little features you need!?) and enjoy! Best of luck and happy landings.

About Thousand Oaks
Thousand Oaks is among the largest cities in Ventura County and is home to many of the most luxurious and sought-after neighborhoods in all of Southern California. As the core of the Conejo Valley, Thousand Oaks is an epicenter of culture, fine dining, and entertainment, providing residents with a lot to see and do! The weather in Thousand Oaks is comfortable throughout much of the year, due in large part to the fact that the area receives cool air from the ocean via a large number of hill and mountain passes, providing residents with summer highs of 70-80 degrees and winter highs of 65-70 degrees. From the Conejo Players Theatre to the Conejo Valley Art Museum, Thousand Oaks exists as the go-to cultural destination for many who live in and around Southern California.
When you are considering purchasing a home in this city, you will also be pleased to know that the city plays host to dozens of parks and recreational areas, from the Conejo Recreation and Park District to the Wildwood Park, providing you with great destinations to hike, bike, or enjoy the pleasant scenery. Thousand Oaks is largely an upscale city, which is displayed through the real estate options available to you, as most of the homes in this area range from stylish single-family residences to vast estate houses, many of which include spacious grounds. Most of these homes are built in the Mediterranean Revival architectural style that's identified by beautiful stucco walls and red tiled roofs, although some of the larger estate properties have been custom built by a previous owner, allowing you to select a home that matches your preferences.
History of Thousand Oaks
The history of Thousand Oaks began with the settlement of the Chumash Indians over 10,000 years ago, as the area played home to two major Chumash villages known as Satwiwa and Sap'wi. Much of the Thousand Oaks land was claimed by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo of Spain in 1542, but it wasn't until the early 19th century that this land began to see some development and eventually became a part of the United States once California gained statehood in 1850. The majority of Thousand Oaks was then owned by a man named John Edwards of Wales until it changed hands in 1874 to Egbert Starr Newbury. Just three years later, he helped to establish the Conejo Valley School District for the 126 residents of the Conejo Valley and Thousand Oaks.
Up until the 1950's, the movie industry was the primary industry in Thousand Oaks along with agriculture, although this started to change with a population boom that occurred between the years of 1950-1970, wherein the overall population of the Conejo Valley increased from around 3,000 to well over 30,000, many of which lived in the area known as Thousand Oaks. The city of Thousand Oaks was officially incorporated in late 1964, becoming the first city to be incorporated in the Conejo Valley. Since then, this area has continued to be popular among new residents, which is displayed by the fact that continued competition among prospective home buyers caused property values to appreciate by more than 250% between the mid 1990's and early 2000's.
Thousand Oaks Schools & Education
The city of Thousand Oaks is served by the Conejo Valley Unified School District, which is one of the most celebrated school districts in Southern California due to the presence of several schools that continue to rank in the top ten percent among California schools in test scores. The primary schools available to residents of Thousand Oaks include Westlake Elementary, Westlake Hills Elementary, Acacia Elementary, Glenwood Elementary, Ladera Elementary, Lang Ranch Elementary, Colina Middle, Los Cerritos Middle, Redwood Middle, Thousand Oaks High, and Westlake High, although the specific schools available to your child depends largely on which neighborhood you live in.
Each of these schools have received a long list of awards and recognitions that highlight specific areas of educational excellence that the schools and the district itself have exhibited over the years. For instance, Westlake Hills Elementary is a California Distinguished School, a National Blue Ribbon School, and a California Business Council Honor School, while Westlake High received the National Blue Ribbon School award as recently as 2016, being one of only 326 schools in the country to have done so that year. Once your children start to attend high school, they will have numerous advanced educational programs that they can enroll into, which can be helpful when applying to a prestigious university or attempting to prepare for a major in a STEM subject. For example, Thousand Oaks High offers a range of advanced courses to your children, including three art courses, four foreign language courses that include French and Japanese, five social science courses, ten STEM courses that includes advanced chemistry, and two English courses, one on the language and one on English literature.
Thousand Oaks Shopping & Entertainment
Thousand Oaks is an exciting hub for dining, shopping, and entertainment, as the city plays host to many of the most-visited destinations in Southern California. When you're first exploring the city, knowing where to go should help you get acquainted with all that the city has to offer.
Mouthful Eatery is a cozy and energetic bistro in Thousand Oaks that focuses on Peruvian-inspired sandwiches and salads with a creative twist. The inclusion of sidewalk eating at shaded tables allows you to get some fresh air while enjoying a meal.

Even as unfavourable economic conditions constrained demand for many types of task-specific home care products in Saudi Arabia, polishes showed an improved performance in retail volume and current value growth terms in 2018. One of the main reasons for this was sustained demand in furniture and floor polish, with both categories benefiting from the fact that local consumers tend to be quite house-proud.
While shoe polish posted a marginal decline in retail volume sales in 2018, it was not as negatively affected by increased budget-consciousness among consumers as many other home care categories. This was due to the fact that Saudis tend to be very particular about maintaining a well-groomed appearance.
In contrast to most other home care categories, polishes did not witness any notable innovations or new product launches in 2018. This could make it harder for manufacturers to maintain consumer interest over the forecast period, particularly as polishes continues to face growing competition from other categories such as surface care.
Kiwi from Dawliah Holding Group was the leading brand in polishes in value terms in 2018, with Pledge from Basamh Trading Co finishing a close second. Kiwi continued to hold a dominant position in shoe polish, while Pledge remained the clear leader in furniture polish.
Smac from Baazeem Trading Co remained the leading brand in metal polish in 2018. This brand is widely available in Saudi Arabia, and enjoys highly visible shelf positions in most retailing channels.
Panda, which competes in furniture polish, was the only private label present in polishes in Saudi Arabia in 2018. Its value share in furniture polish was up substantially on 2017 thanks to its affordable price positioning, frequent in-store promotions and the expansion of the Panda retail network.

NA's rivalry v EU, Vikings are real contenders and everything else we learned from the Masters 2 Press Conference
The Masters 2 press conference revealed a few things about the teams participating
May 23, 2021 6:37 pm EDT May 23, 2021
Provided by Riot Games Sentinels come into Masters 2 as the favorites to win the tournament
by Upcomer Staff
The first-ever international VALORANT LAN kicks off on May 24. Five players from the participating teams answered questions at a pre-event press conference. From discussions around the meta and different regions' playstyles, to some lighthearted trash talk, these four things we learned from the event.
The rivalry between NA v EU is VERY much alive in VALORANT, even in the Masters 2 press conference
VALORANT viewers from every region will be supporting their home teams throughout Masters but as an European fan, there is nothing more satisfying than knocking out NA teams. Similarly, NA fans will be praying that Sentinels and V1 can be the ones to send Fnatic and Team Liquid packing but as we witnessed from the pre-event press conference, the players themselves are definitely on board with this rivalry too.
There wasn't any hard-hitting trash talk but it's clear that both regions have some opinions about the other.
"Europe and America have a similar game style but I do think Europe is a bit better. Sentinels have amazing players individually but I feel like what they do is very predictable compared to EU," Team Liquid's Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom said when asked about what NA's biggest weakness is in their approach to the game.
mood pic.twitter.com/FKdrCihsRL
— Liquid ScreaM 🇲🇦 (@ScreaM_) May 23, 2021
Sentinels' in-game leader Shahzeb "ShahZaM" Khan wasted no time to defend his team and region, responding directly to Scream
"The team you saw at Masters 1 and from the Regional Finals is a different team than you'll see here." SHahZaM said.
Version1's Anthony "vanity" Malaspina also chimed in on the differences and similarities between the two regions.
"The North American teams and European teams play the same exact style – just default heavy but the Europeans do it slower," he said. "I wouldn't say the utility difference between NA and EU VALORANT is very much."
"In EU they play for kills and to molly the spike and it's the same in North America. I think the notion that the European utility usage is better is just not true."
All four teams from NA and EU will get a chance to prove themselves and settle the debate once and for all and potentially as soon as Day 2 if both Fnatic and V1 are able to overcome their play-in opponents.

V1 Vanity confirms Vikings are the best team at Iceland at the Masters 2 press conference
"I think the best team we have scrimmed is Vikings," vanity said. "They're the best team we have practiced against so far."
The Brazilian powerhouse team is a question mark coming into Iceland since not much is known about the region from the outside. However, with four tournament victories under their belts, Vikings are the team to beat at Iceland. Never mind the fact that vanity also mentioned they hadn't scrimmed against top teams such as Sentinels, FNATIC, or Team Liquid.
Even Team Vikings' Gabriel "sutecas" Dias had confidence in his own team when he spoke about their debut match against X10.
"I think we are going to win, of course. It is not going to be an easy match but we really trust in ourselves. It should be 2-0," he said.
With the confidence level that both sutecas and vanity have in Vikings, they may be taking home the Masters 2 trophy.

Astra just isn't that good… sorry North America
North America has hotly debated the use of Astra since she was released into competition. Many professional coaches and players from NA talked about how important she was to the meta. The two teams from NA who made it to Iceland whilst using Astra in their composition echoed the same sentiment. But… is she really that good? Well, according to Jake "Boaster" Howlett and Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom, the answer is no.
"Astra…yeah she's pretty good," Boaster said while speaking on why FNATIC had been using Brimstone over the star-focused agent. "I mean, you got the cross-map and you got all her… stars and whatnot, but I don't think she's needed. I think her ultimate is useless."
Boaster even went on to say that Astra's "sucks" aren't even that great utility-wise and can be outmaneuvered easily.
ScreaM added fuel to the fire by saying that Astra was just straight up overrated.
"I think Astra is definitely overrated. I think she's good, but she's not as good as people say. We are really good with Brimstone and know how to use him. We don't need Astra for now and no one on our team felt like playing her." ScreaM said.
– Appleford
Team Liquid are going to destroy everyone
This one isn't even much of a takeaway because it came right out of Scream's mouth. That's right, you can't argue with one of the best VALORANT players on the planet. So yes, we're just going to let him do the talking.
"I don't even know who we're playing but we're going to destroy everybody." he said.
– Collins
And there we have it, the four takeaways from the pre-event press conference. Upcomer will be bringing more VCT Masters coverage throughout the week so make sure to keep an eye out on twitter.com/Upcomer and our website.

The obvious benefit of stair lifts is to get a traveling up and down stairs. Beyond this purely physical benefit is normally their ability to offer their particular users freedom and choice, the freedom to move around their existing home and make a move away unnecessary, and the choice in which to stay their home or one of all their choosing. People who develop transportability issues have often had to move away from their existing home as the stairs became too difficult to climb or perhaps had their choice of different home severely limited to a single stories buildings. A well customized stair lift solution may give this choice back. You are no longer faced with a carry away from familiarity, friends and family or maybe a reduced list of housing alternatives. Stair lifts also offer one advantage to the relatives of the user - peace of mind. They are wonderful health and safety devices, safely transporting a passenger along the stair without incident.

THE latest house price boom is putting the heat on Wilmslow firemen.
Officers at the Altrincham Road station say they are being squeezed out of the area because of the buoyant property market and pay rates which have priced them out.
Some live as far away as Preston and Chorley in Lancashire instead of in homes near to the job, a spokesman said.
"There are only two firemen (from 28) here who can actually afford to live in Wilmslow," said firefighter Alan Williams, 48.
"We have to seek family homes in other areas, meaning they are travelling a long way and adding to the congestion.
"It must have a knock on effect and when you live here you get to understand the area better, which of course is important in an emergency.
"It's also a problem among teachers and the police, we are serving the Wilmslow community yet we can't afford to live here."
According to the Fire Brigade Union, a qualified firefighter earns £21,531 a year while the average UK salary is £25,400.
The union is calling for qualified firefighters' annual earnings to be increased by nearly 40 per cent, to £30,000.
"Our pay is linked with skilled labourers following the 1977 strikes.
"The earnings of qualified firefighters are compared with the basic pay of the highest earning 25 per cent of male manual workers.
"But this formula is outdated. Because of the decline of other industries such as the steel industry, there's nobody suitable to compare with. So over the years our pay has dropped somewhat to put it mildly."
Mr Williams believes better pay would be one way of attracting more people into the job.
He says after deductions, including pension contributions, a firefighter's wage is 'certainly not a high salary' for someone paying a mortgage and supporting a family.
In the past 25 years the fire service has had to cope with 'a substantial increase in calls' such as water rescues, chemical and terrorist incidents.
Mr Williams added: "We clearly don't want any form of industrial action but it may come to it."


Retired lawyer Stanlee Culbreath was one of the first witnesses to the tragic crash but maintained a dignified silence out of respect for the then-young Princes William and Harry.
As they made their way back to the hotel in a taxi at around 12.20am, they entered the Pont de l'Alma tunnel and were confronted with the smouldering wreckage of the Princess's car.
"When the car eventually came out of the tunnel on a lorry it was as big as a pancake, but when I saw it, one side wasn't. It was the side the Princess was on. I later learned the 'jaws of life' were used. Why didn't they just open the door?


This is Maura Thomas from RegainYourTime.com. This is part one of my interview with Charles Palmer, the Executive Director of the Center for Advanced Entertainment & Learning Technologies, of Harrisburg University of Science & Technology. Please click the link at the top for an introduction to this interview.
MT: So I was just reading up on the Center for Advanced Entertainment and Learning Technologies. It sounds like a really forward-thinking sort of center at the University.
CP: Yeah, we're trying to really blur the line between education and entertainment. If you can keep the student engaged, you can teach them things. Prior to being here at Harrisburg I was at Carnegie Mellon and worked at a center where that's pretty much what the focus was on.
MT: That's great! I guess, before I get into the questions I sent you, I'm interested to know, now that I've read a little bit more about this, what you thought about the ban. Were you involved in the decision?
CP: I was not involved in the original decision but I was brought up to speed well before it went out into the public and just to get ideas and what we could do with it and I have to say, when it first came about, all I could think of was students with pitchforks and faculty saying that they were going to leave the university as soon as they could, but I was pleasantly surprised at how many people actually embraced it or it didn't really affect them, in some ways.
CP: I think so because if you think of students in general, anytime they get a chance to bash something and voice their opinion, they will, and not in a bad way, but you know, they're at that age group where they want to be heard and they want their opinion to be known. So yeah, I really did expect more students to have a problem with it.
CP: Well, yeah, there are two reasons that made it palatable to them…it was the fact that yes, it was only for a week, for five days, so hey I can do anything for five days.
CP: And the fact that banning it, we were banning it from our academic center, but that doesn't stop our students from going home, or walking to the local coffee shop and getting online there.
MT: So the academic center, did that include the dorms?
CP: We actually don't have dorms.
MT: You don't have dorms, ok, so you're a commuter school.
CP: As opposed to how the media made it sound like it was…seven days of no access. But even then it was really bizarre…how many students could not be six hours away from some of these outlets.
MT: How did you see evidence of that? What kind of things did you see?
MT: Do you think that FaceBook is the primary internet resource that the students use, or at least the one that they miss the most?
Please come back tomorrow for part 2 of my interview with Charles Palmer of Harrisburg University. Thanks for reading!

Elsie is a 6 year old Maltese that I rescued 5 years ago. Since then I have been able to walk her most days but now, due to arthritis I am finding it harder and harder to get about.
Elsie deserves more time out and about and I would like someone caring with doggy experience to help her out.
Thankyou for listening, hope to hear from people soon.

Halifax Marathon runner raises over £1,000 for Tommy's
The manager of Leeds Building Society's Halifax branch completed Sunday's London Marathon within four hours and raised more than £1,000 for a cause very close to his heart.
Damien Briscoe finished the 26.2 mile event in a time of 3 hours and 44 minutes and raised £1,100 for Tommy's, the charity which funds research into pregnancy problems and provides information to parents.
Damien also took part in the North London Half Marathon in March as part of his training. He began his fundraising for Tommy's by taking part in the 2015 Great North Run.
He said: "After experiencing personal loss and knowing friends and family suffering from the impact of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth I decided to fundraise for a great cause that means so much to my family and those close to me.
"As I started to run out of fuel after about 18 miles the reward of raising money for a fantastic cause like Tommy's made it all worthwhile and gave it a purpose other than personal achievement."
Damien Briscoe's fundraising address is http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/DamienBriscoe

Community Flying Clubs Club Connector Newsletter Club Spotlight: Making a Switch – Changing the Type of Aircraft Your Club Operates
Club Spotlight: Making a Switch – Changing the Type of Aircraft Your Club Operates Club Spotlight: Making a Switch – Changing the Type of Aircraft Your Club Operates
July 21, 2019 By Steve Schapiro
A flying club is an ever-evolving organization that will change over time. Membership will turn over. Engines will need to be overhauled. Avionics will improve and need to be upgraded. Even the mission of the club may get updated and refreshed. Change is the natural order of things.
So how does that affect the type of airplane your club operates? For some clubs, it may mean replacing the current club aircraft with something completely different. Other clubs might be looking to add an aircraft to their fleet to diversify. Either way, the process and questions to consider are the same.
One club that went through the process of replacing its aircraft with a completely different type is the Flying Educators, based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (KFXE) in Florida.
The club was founded in 1962 by 10 Fort Lauderdale public school teachers. From 1962 to 1995 the club only operated Citabrias. In 1995, the members decided to switch from the two-seat, high-wing aerobatic taildragger to a four-seat, low-wing Grumman Tiger [See this month's Aircraft Spotlight].
"Over the years, the club's mission and approach to flying haven't changed much," former Club Secretary and Treasurer Greg Utley said. "The idea was that it is a participatory organization. Everybody was expected to pitch in with things like the annual inspection or cleaning the hangar. That's still the philosophy today."
Even if the mission hasn't changed, why would the members choose to switch to a completely different type of aircraft? For the Flying Educators, the conversation began because the Citabria was nearing a major engine overhaul and was within a few years of needing new fabric. It was natural for the members to discuss whether they wanted to invest money in the current aircraft or sell it and buy another aircraft.
The club spent about three months having both formal club meetings and informal discussions among members on what to do. Conversations centered around how members were using the aircraft and what they wanted to do going forward.
Determining the Right Aircraft
When assessing a club's current aircraft, or the possibility of adding to the fleet, it's best to first evaluate the club's mission and review the type of flying members do. Some clubs are focused on access and affordability, while others want the most advanced aircraft with state of the art equipment. AOPA's Flying Club Resource Library is a great source of material on how to choose an aircraft.
Do your members want an aircraft built for longer cross-countries with a high useful load or do most club members fly locally? Knowing how your members fly and what they want in a club aircraft is the first step.
Putting a group together that seeks input from the membership is critical. There will be differing opinions, so it's important the process provides all members with the opportunity to participate and have their voice heard.
For a small club like the Flying Educators, the entire membership was involved in the discussion. A larger club may want to select a committee to do the research and survey the members on their wants and needs.
See this month's Question of the Month for a checklist approach to expanding your fleet.
About three or four of the Flying Educators were using the Citabria to fly aerobatics regularly, another three or four generally flew local cross countries traveling 150 to 200 miles or less, and the remaining members generally only flew enough to stay current.
"We went into a series of meetings with our members, that lasted three months," Greg said. "We listed the pros and cons. We concluded that we really needed a four-place airplane and something that was a little bit faster so we could do cross-country work."
The decision to change airplanes was the easy part. "Deciding what airplane to buy took more time than the decision to switch," Greg said.
"There were two or three of us, including me, who wanted something fairly big, fairly comfortable," Greg said. "What I really wanted was a 182 – it's got a lot room, it has a high wing so you can see down, and it keeps the sun and the rain off of you when getting in and out."
Others in the club argued for a low-wing aircraft because they felt low-wing aircraft tend to be a little more responsive. Several members felt that they could get better performance with a low-wing aircraft, and that they could also retain some of the sportiness that they had when they owned the Citabria,
Discussions went back and forth and the Tiger came into the mix early on. A Cherokee Six also was considered because a lot of members wanted to carry either a lot of people or four people and snow skis or scuba gear. But looking at club data over the prior eight to 10 years showed 90 percent of flights were either single pilot, or two club members. Only a small portion of flights included family or friends. "A Cherokee Six just didn't make sense," Greg said.
How was the Grumman Tiger Chosen?
There were three key points that led the Flying Educators to the Grumman Tiger. To begin with, several members had time in a Tiger, so they were familiar with the type. More importantly, it was a good fit with the club's mission of affordable flying, and matched well with the type of flying members do, while adding a little extra room to bring family or friends.
It's sporty and responsive. Coming from an aerobatic aircraft, members wanted something that retained sporty characteristics. "In terms of responsiveness, being light on the controls, it beats a 172 or a 182 hands down," Greg said. "The roll rate is about double that of a 172 or 182." It also has a sliding canopy, which makes it a little sportier than a Cherokee, and it's got tons of visibility through the canopy, Greg added.
It's simple to maintain. The club does almost all of its maintenance in-house using a club mechanic and other members who pitch in. "Our maintenance guy wanted nothing to do with retractable gear or a constant speed prop. In his opinion, it would add a lot of expense and labor," Greg said.
It's fast and economical to operate. "The biggest selling point at the end of the day is the max speed is 135 knots. Even at economy cruise, you're only burning about 10 gallons per hour," Greg said.
The Tiger is faster than a 182, but has less power so it burns less gas. It's simpler because it has a fixed-pitch prop as opposed to constant speed, so it's going to be a little cheaper to maintain.
The club voted to change aircraft. At the end of the day, one or two members left the club when the Citabria was replaced by the Tiger.
The club has been operating a Tiger for almost 25 years. The flying is similar to what it was when the club had the Citabria.
"After having a Tiger for all those years, all those arguments were valid," Greg said."If you're just going up to have a good time, it's a good, inexpensive airplane to fly."

VCMTUNER - Disable VCM / ECO for Honda Odyssey, Pilot, Accord & More.
HONDA SOLD YOU DEFECTIVE VCM/ECO TECHNOLOGY. SAVE YOUR ENGINE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
In 2013 a class-action lawsuit was filed against Honda, 1.6 million vehicles between 2008-2013 had been identified having potential for high oil consumption and misfires due to VCM Operation on 3.5L V6 Engines. Honda extended the warranty for these vehicles but did not correct the problem. This did not include the millions of vehicles between 2005-2007 that also had the same defective issues and had owners complaining of repeated failure of costly motor mounts to VCM operation, damaged transmission torque converters, fouled spark plugs and excessive oil consumption at the rate of up to 1 qt for every 1000 miles. Honda claimed this was normal.
THE END OF VCM PROBLEMS FOR YOUR HONDA OR ACURA. INTRODUCING VCMTUNER. PLUG AND PLAY.
We provide videos and instructions on installation. Can be removed within minutes when taking into the dealership to avoid warranty concerns. Watch Installation Video.
Unlike single resistor solutions, our dial selector switch allows fine tuning to minimize changes to the temperature gauge while disabling VCM/ECO mode. No resistor plug to swap when the weather heats up. Just turn the selector switch a notch clockwise in summer. Turn it counter-clockwise a notch when winter comes back around.
Save thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your vehicle and make it more reliable. VCM wear symptoms include torque convert failures, prematurely worn piston rings, fouled spark plugs, excessive oil burning, plugged catalytic converter. Stop wearing out Engine mounts every 50-60k miles. Our product is the only standalone VCM product with CARB E.O. Approval for 50 State Legal usage.
Does VCMTUNER work in cold/mild/hot climates?
VCMTUNER works by slightly de-tuning the temperature gauge a notch below normal. With our variable position selector switch, VCMTUNER ensures your temp gauge looks as close as possible to normal. See our before/after pictures of the temperature gauge. Other solutions with pluggable resistors on the market cannot fine tune or compensate for Coolant Temperature Sensor Variances without swapping or modifying components. Other Products on the market may only work part of the year without changing out resistors or ordering additional parts. VCMTUNER is a one-size fits all solution with the equivalent of 10 precise tuning settings.
How will VCMTUNER affect my gas mileage?
VCMTUNER should not have a large difference in gas mileage. On the highway there can be a slight difference in gas mileage, somewhere around 1 MPG. For in town driving, very little MPG change will be noticed. Drivers will notice a much more responsive engine and smoother transmission shifts.
Will VCMTUNER resolve engine vibration or other problems?
In many cases, drivers will notice substantial vibration when ECO mode is enabled on the dash between 35-55mph. This normally means the engine mounts are now somewhat damaged. VCMTUNER will reduce the amount of continual damage to the motor mounts and minimize wear on the torque converter in the transmission. The front and rear engine mounts cost approximately $400 each just parts. Add $400 in labor to install. at the dealership. If you have not had shuddering and vibration when the ECO light comes on the dash of your vehicle, vcmtuner will be a great preventative measure to keep your vehicle out of the dealership with those costly bills. For some users, VCMTUNER will completely alleviate the annoying engine vibration.
Will VCMTUNER reduce my oil consumption?
If the cylinder rings are not completely worn out, disabling VCM should reduce oil consumption on your vehicle. If excessive oil consumption is a new problem for your vehicle, the sooner you apply VCMTUNER the less wear and damage to your engine. On my personal vehicle, I saw oil consumption about 1 qt for every 2500 miles. My engine started burning a noticable amount oil at about 115,000 miles. With VCMTUNER I have minimal oil level changes every 5,000 miles. Reducing Oil Consumption should greatly enhance the lifetime of your engine, With oil change intervals of 5,000 miles, you could be some 2-3 quarts low before your next oil change. Honda should be embarrassed with their decision to continue installing VCM in even new vehicles today. Honda recommends checking the oil every single time you fill up for gas. Operating with low engine oil levels will substantially reduce the useful life of your engine. The two main engine mounts cost approximately $800 in just parts before labor at the dealership. If you have not had shuddering when the ECO light comes on the dash of your vehicle, vcmtuner will be a great preventative measure to keep your vehicle out of the dealership.
Will VCMTUNER stop CEL codes P0301,P0302, P0303, P0304 and Fouled Spark Plugs?
It will definitely help with these problems. The Engine Misfire Settlement with Honda in 2014 describes part of this problem is the engine seals (rings) that keep the oil from blowing out of the cylinders have worn due to a mixture of fuel and gas causing buildup from VCM operation. The Misfire Settlment Lawsuit also states that VCM causes the cylinder rings to spin and this can damage the rings over time. With VCM Disabled, your plugs will no longer get soaked in umcombusted fuel and oil. If you already have problems with recurring fouled plugs, VCMTUNER may very well double the life of your spark plugs or completely alleviate these problems. Depending upon how much damage you have sustained and how much oil you are burning, VCMTUNER will at a minimum stop the mixture of uncombusted fuel and oil mixing together. See the Honda Lawsuit link at the top of the page for more information.
Will VCMTUNER violate my vehicle's warranty?
No. Under the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, the dealership cannot deny warranty coverage unless they can a cite a specific modification caused a specific problem. Since VCMTUNER has completed and passed all necessary EPA emission tests as well as passing federal OBD-II tests, We have spent a substantial amount of time ,money and energy to accomplish this over the last year and a half. Use of this product has been proven to maintain compliance with all federal emission laws and does not change the operating behavior of the A/F ratio. The operating temperature of the vehicle is unchanged and all data is within OBD-II limits as normal operation for the vehicle when properly installed and setup according to the users manual,, Honda does not officially endorse any method to disable VCM at this time. Honda will not acknowledge the substantial problems with the technology, even though they lost a major lawsuit that says otherwise . It should be noted that users who have hacked and spliced wire harnesses and disabled VCM Operation have no known added problems to date in over 3 years of usage.

Typical writing mistakes all non-native English speakers make
We all make mistakes... it's natural right? Well in the two years of being an English teacher I can say there are some common pitfalls that every student will fall down at some point. If you are curious to learn more, then let's read on together.
ARTICLES AND PREPOSITIONS
One of the most common problems I have encountered would be students mixing up prepositions. It is usually the most telltale sign a non-native has written a text. Some typical mistakes would include using "until" instead of "by" when referring to timeframes. So, for instance, they would say "I should arrive until 6 pm" which happens a lot. It is understandable as many other languages don't use as many prepositions as the English language. For example, the Spanish can use "a" which can translate into many meanings like "to" and "at" to name a few. The main problem with the English language is it has many special cases and exemptions which need to be learned.
The same with articles, there are some basic rules to follow with English articles, but there is a massive range of exceptions. A typical mistake would include "All fashionable people are here" missing out "the" happens often. A great book to help with the use cases and the exceptions would be Practical English Usage.
This is something that occurs often and involves a student using the wrong word because it sounds similar to another. For example, in Spanish, they can confuse "fabrica" which means factory with "fabric" and vice versa. The words often look like a quick and easy translation but mean something completely different.
The English language has some simple rules to follow for constructing a sentence. So, for example, a basic guide is to always use the subject then the verb and lastly the object (S+V+O). For instance "I play football" is correct. In some languages, you can swap the adjectives and object around like in Spanish. So "El veloz coche" means the fast car but they can also say "the car fast" which is also fine in Spanish. It is quite natural for a foreign speaker to construct words in English the way they think in their own language.
REPETITIVE TRANSITION WORDS
Non-native English speakers have a tendency to overuse some transition words or conjunctions. So for example, they will overuse words like "therefore" and "furthermore" where instead they could have combined sentences. So "The pizza was hot. Therefore, he burned his tongue" could have been combined to make "The pizza was hot, burning his tongue."
Lacking in vocabulary can also cause repetitive words which can always be a struggle of a language learner. Check out this useful article to find ways to expand your vocabulary.
WORD HUNTING
This is something that most language learners have been subject to at some point. This is where you are looking for a word in a bilingual dictionary and you have many different meanings for one word with little or no explanation. This, therefore, leads to choosing the wrong word out of haste while trying to finish whatever piece of work quickly. Here is a helpful resource to write an essay fast without making any mistakes.
WRONG TENSES
Even some of the better writers still make grammatical errors with tenses. A typical mistake with the present tense can be mixing up the present simple with the present continuous. For example, in English, the continuous is used for ongoing events or situations like "I am learning English."
The simple is used for facts or regular events like "I work in London," but it is very easy for a non-native to say something like "I learn English now."
This can be tricky as different languages have different rules regarding the past tense. Typically in English, we would use the past simple tense "I did it," but in the same situation Europeans, like Italians or Spanish, might say "I have done it" which is the present perfect tense. A classic mistake would be "I have been to Italy two years ago."
Some languages can get away with just using the present simple to talk about the future so it's no wonder why it can be so difficult to grasp. In English, we typically use four basic constructions involving the present simple and the present continuous which can be interchanged. There is also the future continuous, future perfect and future perfect continuous. Not understanding clauses in sentences are very common for non-natives. For example "I will call you when the dinner will be ready" this should be "I will call you when the dinner is ready," since you can't use will in a when-clause.
FREQUENT MISHAPS
The words "borrow" and "lend" have a clear meaning in English but sometimes I find non-natives using them the wrong way round. For example, "will you borrow me your pen" is totally incorrect, but my students have said it before.
The words "make" and "do" also get confused by non-native English speakers as some languages like Spanish have only one form and tend to use "make" for nearly everything. A typical mistake would be "What are common mistakes people do when they are learning English." If in doubt here is a useful blog on using make vs do.
Another common mistake is mixing up "tell" and "say." This can be due to not including a preposition, but mostly it is confusing the words, for example "say me" is incorrect but "tell me" is right, as it is explained here.
Something else I noticed would be students trying to pluralize the unaccountable. For example, "Can you please give me some advices" would be wrong. This is down to a simple rule in English where if the Noun can be counted, then you pluralize it with "s" at the end, and "advice" is uncountable, so you can get some advice or three pieces of advice, but not any advices..
The English language can be tricky as there are some crazy rules and also specific grammar that is totally irregular and it just has to be learned. I hope this article was helpful for any new teachers or students trying to improve their English language. Good luck with your studies!

Joseph Pilates: The Man Behind The Mat
You know Pilates exercises and how they benefit your body, but do you know about the man who created them? In honor of Joseph Pilates' birthday this month, we'd like to offer a glimpse into Pilates' captivating life, the history and development of his program, and why he hoped we would live like animals.
Joseph Hubertus Pilates was born on Dec. 9, 1883 in Mönchengladbach, Germany. His father Heinrich was a Greek-born metal worker and prize-winning gymnast, and his German mother Helena was a naturopath who believed in the body's natural healing capabilities. Joseph suffered multiple health issues during his childhood including rheumatic fever, rickets, and asthma, which fueled his drive to continuously improve his physical strength and later excel in athletic endeavours such as gymnastics, diving, bodybuilding, and skiing.
After his first wife's death, Pilates moved to England in 1912 to work as a professional boxer, circus performer, and self-defense instructor (you know, as one does). Unfortunately, his eclectic career stalled after Great Britain entered World War I in 1914 and escalating tensions led to the internment of German and Austro-Hungarians. Pilates found himself at the Knockaloe Camp on the Isle of Man, where his exercise program came to life.
Robert Wernick best describes the birth of Contrology in his Feb. 12, 1962 Sports Illustrated article:
"Here, as weeks lengthened into months and years, he watched his fellow-prisoners sink into apathy and despair, with nothing to do but stare at the bare crumbling walls of their prison, nothing to break the daily monotony but the inadequate meals (for the German submarine blockade was slowly starving England) and an occasional walk around the bare courtyard with nothing to look at but an occasional starveling cat streaking after a mouse or a bird.
It was the cats, which did it. For though they were nothing but skin and bones – even the most animal-loving prisoners could hardly spare them anything from their own pitiful rations when their own children were begging to be fed – they were lithe and springy and terribly efficient as they aimed for their prey. Why were the cats in such good shape, so bright-eyed, while the humans were growing every day paler, weaker, apathetic creatures ready to give up if they caught a cold or fell down and sprained an ankle? The answer came to Joe when he began carefully observing the cats and analyzing their motions for hours at a time. He saw them, when they had nothing else to do, stretching their legs out, stretching, stretching, keeping their muscles limber, alive. He began working out an orderly series of exercises to stretch the human muscles, all the human muscles. He began demonstrating these exercises to the dejected figures around him, and since they had nothing else to do, they began to do the exercises too. Awkwardly and timorously at first, but under his firm supervision they became more and more confident, more and more bouncy, like cats. They ended the war in better shape than when it started, and when the great influenza epidemic came sweeping over all the countries that had fought in the war, not one of them came down with it."
In April 1926 Pilates set sail for the United States aboard the Westphalia where he met his third partner Clara (it's unclear if they ever married). Together they created a studio near the New York City Ballet and attracted a following including dancers, actors, authors, and society's elite. Pilates also penned a number of books including "Your Health" in 1934 and "Return to Life Through Contrology" in 1945. Unfortunately, despite his otherwise healthy lifestyle, Pilates' affinity for cigars resulted in his death from emphysema on Oct. 9, 1967. Clara continued teaching the Pilates method (as it became known after Joseph's death) until her passing in 1977.
Joseph Pilates lived a truly fascinating life, and Wernick's article provides a lively glimpse into his character. We hope you enjoyed this deep-dive into Pilates' story and encourage you to use your Pilates practice to live your best cat-like life.

Peralta to DL, David Goforth to Milwaukee
By splitterpfj,
May 25, 2015 in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
splitterpfj
Congratulations, Mr Goforth, welcome to the big leagues!
Peralta is expected to miss 4-6 weeks, with an oblique injury.
trwi7
So 4 man rotation? Kintzler sent down to call up Thornburg who starts?
They haven't said who will start yet, but Counsell alluded to having an off-day Thursday, and also said, "Maybe it's a bullpen day."
So they're saying Blazek is an option and Fiers on short rest is another. How stupid is this team? A reliever as a starter or putting a guy on short rest for no reason.
i would think it blazek then either Thornburgh or Jugmann,they needed a reliever cause of Smith being suspension tomorrow. I also guess it put to rest any trade rumours of Loshe or Gaeza being moved until Perelta comes back.
hoping its blazek, would like to see what he has as a starter. as far as lohse or garza goes, still have thornburg and jungmann in the minors so both should still be able to be dealt.
I don't think either would be dealt in the next 10-15 days anyway.
I thought we might have had a shot by the draft to move one of them but i guess we have to wait a while.
No ideal options. Thornburg is just starting to get on track. The rest of the AAA rotation has been terrible. Otherwise you have to call someone from AA and add them to the 40 man. Blazek did throw 44 pitches on the 22nd, so hopefully, he could give you 4 innings.
I think Jungmann might be the next call up it horrible pitching at Colorado Springs.
This was the case before this injury, so I don't think it's part of the plan, but the Brewers do have an open spot on the 40-man.
So who picked Goforth as the first member of the 2011 draft to make the Brewers?
I wouldn't be shocked if Cotts is released this week. Then bring up Jungmann or Thornburg. This team needs to accept that they are playing for the future. Goforth has potential to be a good reliever. Time to move on from mistakes like Cotts and see what the young guys can do. We're just fooling ourselves if we think we can trade him. Then give Jungmann or Thornburg some starts while Peralta is out. If they don't sink, they move into the rotation when we move Lohse/Garza.
Like I said, it's time to move on and give other guys a chance.
reilly, you are correct.... every AA and AAA guys with some 'stuff' should be given a chance to get his feet wet. We should soon be jettisoning any player who is not the future. Not an evil jettison, just a simple 'what is the best a trade partner will give'... if what we can get is NOTHING, accept it, and move on. If you had to choose to watch Cotts or Goforth, which will you choose. If you have a choice to watch Broxton or, say, Mike Strong (he is on the 40 man with a 1.71 era, 0.81 whip, 24ks v 7bb in 21 relief innings; and that is just a follow on from his 2014 campaign).
It must be the time, very, very soon for management to make a decision... are you in for 2016, or maybe 2017, or maybe later, even. I am sure they are thinking!
JohnBriggs12
Blazek started 17 games last year and just went 3 innings in his last appearance. He's probably their best option at this point. Thornburg just isn't right yet.
yfinn6
This is all due to happen on Wednesday right? Any chance tickets are any cheaper since the team is basically waiving the white flag for a getaway game? /blue
No need for blue as tickets are generally quite a bit cheaper when the team is bad.
Not really. He's allowed 8 earned runs on 16 hits and 8 walks over his last two starts covering 10 2/3 IP. Besides, he too would be on short rest having pitched Saturday.
Cravy's probably in the best form of any of the starters (not saying much) at AAA and he last pitched on Thursday so he could be added. Wagner's an option from AA. He last pitched on Friday, so he'd be available if they decided to go that route. Still think Blazek is most likely on about a pitch count of 65-70.
Understood, and agreed; however, I was thinking of the team cutting back prices even more, given the starter - or lack thereof.
Cue the jokes about Glendon Rusch and any of the other misfits on some of the horrendous Brewer teams of the early 2000s.
From the article on the Brewers' site, if they go with Fiers on short rest, they won't need the 5th starter spot for a while, giving them a chance to jigger the AAA rotation to bring up the guys they want. That seems to me to be the better option, unless they really want Blazek in the rotation over someone like Thornburg or Jungmann, which is a possibility.
Injuries in the rotation are never ideal. I am glad they took Thornburg out of the MLB bullpen and back to the AAA rotation for just this reason. They've been very lucky with starters' health for quite a while, but they were destined to need a "#6 starter" eventually. Better for him to be stretched out at AAA.
"The most successful (people) know that performance over the long haul is what counts. If you can seize the day, great. But never forget that there are days yet to come."
~Bill Walsh

Id like to see Jungmann get an extended trial here. I am definitely not sold on him being anything other than a 4/5 at all. But I don't think keeping him at Colorado will help him develop, and if anything turn him into a nibbler. He just had a nice start (finally), so its time to keep the momentum and move him up.
At 16-30, we arent risking a flame out here, and worst case, we will know to move on. Best case, he shows he belongs.
I think that this injury gets someone to the big leagues earlier, but before too long both Lohse and Garza will be traded, and we'll have plenty of opportunity to try our minor leaguers out at the big league level. Jungmann and Thornburg are as ready as they'll ever get to pitch in a MLB rotation, so they'll finally get their shot to show what they can do.
If Thornburg was pitching well, it would be a no-brainer. But he's not. Neither is Jungmann. Some of that is pitching in Colorado Springs, but not all. They likely feel like Blazek can give them 5 innings and fill in for two starts. With an 8 man bullpen, they can cover the rest of the game. I believe there's some thinking that Blazek could be a starter. After all he made a number of starts at AAA last year. This would be a great opportunity for him to make a statement.
It's far from a sure thing that they'll find buyers for both Lohse and Garza, certainly not Garza with how he's pitched and what's remaining on his contract.
The stache
I would say "when it rains, it pours", but I'm in the Dallas area where it's been raining for two months straight, and people have been losing their lives because of it. So, I'm not going to say that.
But this is just another blow to a terrible season. We finally develop a pitcher, and now this. I hope it's only 4-6 weeks.
