On Friday, April 28, 1911 a pilot named Hugh Robinson took off from the Exhibition Grounds in his Curtiss biplane to make the first heavier than air flight in Edmonton. Flights by hot air balloons and other lighter than air conveyances had been fairly common attractions at fairs and exhibitions in the city and other parts of Alberta for some years but this marked something quite different. The Curtiss, advertised in the Edmonton newspapers as, "the fastest in the world," was similar to the one that Glenn Curtis had used to win the world's first air race at Reims, France, two years earlier at the blazing speed of 75 km per hour. The event at Reims drew half a million spectators and Edmontonians were just as excited by the idea that a flying machine could go in the direction you pointed it regardless of which way the wind was blowing.
When the First World War began a few years later, even though we did not have our own air force, Canadians flocked to join Britain's Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service, making up almost 40% of the pilots in Britain's nascent air force. The first Canadian to die in the air war, Stanley Winther Caws, came from Edmonton. Wilfrid "Wop" May and Roy Brown, two former students at Victoria High School combined to shoot down the most famous airman of the war, Manfred von Richtofen, the "Red Baron." The war dramatically improved the performance of aircraft and a remarkable pilot named Katherine Stinson took advantage of the greater range, speed and reliability available to fly the first airmail in western Canada from Calgary to Edmonton in 1918.
When the war ended, hundreds of pilots returned to Canada determined to try to make a living by flying. Almost all of them started with war surplus aircraft like the ubiquitous Curtiss JN 4D "Jenny," that had been mass produced in Toronto. Wop May was typical of these enterprising young men. He formed a company called May Airplanes Limited and for a few years managed to scrape out a living with his Jenny named the "City of Edmonton" by barnstorming, aerial photography and publicity stunts. This kind of enterprise became steadily more difficult as the novelty of flying wore thin and the war surplus planes wore out.
Up to this point the history of aviation in Edmonton differed in no way from that of other Canadian cities. For the name of Wop May in Edmonton you could substitute William Barker in Winnipeg, Billy Bishop in Toronto or Freddie McCall in Calgary and get a closely similar wartime and post-war experience. Starting in the 1920s, however, aviation began to have an impact on Edmonton that was not paralleled in any other Canadian city. Other Canadian urban centres owed their existence to their location on water routes (Halifax, Montreal, Toronto,Vancouver) or they were products of the railway age (Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary). Edmonton had been a very latecomer to the great railway boom, not getting its main line connections for twenty years after Winnipeg and Calgary. Before the First World War, attempts to connect Edmonton by rail with Ft. McMurray and the Peace River Country were expensive failures.
The northern railways were attempts to build on Edmonton's historic fur trade routes into northern British Columbia, the Yukon and the Mackenzie valley. Shortly after the war's end a number of people realized that the new technology of aircraft based on Edmonton could use these routes without the massive infrastructure expenses of railways. In the summer of 1920 a group of United States Army Air Force DH-4 aircraft led by General Billy Mitchell made their way from Edmonton through the Yukon to Alaska and back. Just about the same time the Imperial Oil Company purchased two Junkers F. 13s, the most advanced transport aircraft of the day, and hired Wop May and George Gorman to fly them from New York to Edmonton. The plan was to put the airplanes, named 'Rene' and 'Vic,' on skis and use them in the winter to fly people and supplies to their drilling operations at Norman Wells on the Mackenzie. They made their way north of 60, proving that there was a commercial future for northern aviation, although the difficulties they encountered showed that there was much to be learned about flying in the extreme conditions of an arctic winter.
There was enough promise by the mid-1920s that city council took notice. Pilots had been using parts of a farm on the northern outskirts of the city known as the Hagmann Estate for several years. In 1924 Wop May and Harry Adair petitioned Mayor Kenny Blatchford to set aside part of the land, which now belonged to the city because of non-payment of taxes, for a permanent airfield. The proposal worked its way through the administration and in 1926 council voted $400.00 to make necessary improvements and applied to Ottawa for a license. (The improvements consisted mainly of cutting trees, levelling the ground and seeding grass. The horse-drawn plough used for the purpose is still in possession of the Alberta Aviation Museum.) Almost by return mail the document arrived, granting Edmonton the first license in Canada for a municipally owned "Public Air Harbour."
Edmonton's Air Harbour, named Blatchford Field after the mayor, was almost too successful at first. By 1928 so many aircraft were using it that upgrades were desperately needed if the planned air mail route to Winnipeg and scheduled service to northern points were to be accommodated. Late in 1928 a money bylaw to spend $23,860 on the airport narrowly missed the two thirds majority vote necessary to pass. A year later, in part due to the publicity generated by May and Horner's heroic mid-winter flight to deliver diphtheria antitoxin to Ft. Vermilion, the citizenry reversed themselves and voted $35,000. The landing area was enlarged, lighting installed and a hangar large enough to hold a dozen planes built. With the addition of Cooking Lake as a seaplane base a few years later, the city was now in a position to take advantage the conjuncture of geography and technology.
As the prairies and the rest of Canada sank into the economic morass of the Great Depression in the 1930s, Edmonton did relatively well. One indicator was that the University of Alberta was the only one in Canada that did not suffer a decline in enrolment over the decade. The faculties of Law and Engineering were thriving and their strength was due largely to demand created by uranium and gold mining in the North West Territories. That activity would not have been possible without air travel.
The 1930s was a time of very rapid development in aircraft technology in which multi-engined, metal planes replaced single-engined, fabric covered biplanes. The companies flying into the north eagerly adopted every improvement. The central place of Edmonton in these developments is well illustrated by the fact that James Richardson's Western Canada Airways (later Canadian Airways), headquartered in Winnipeg, conducted most of its flying operations into the north from Edmonton. Canadian Airways was the first aviation company in Canada to have adequate financial backing which allowed it to operate the latest and best equipment. Even though Canadian Airways absorbed numerous smaller operations, May and Gorman's included, it did not completely dominate northern flying. Leigh Brintnell's Mackenzie Air Service and later Grant McConachie's Yukon Southern Air Transport provided lots of competition.
The mining industry needed large and heavy pieces of equipment sent in to the north and the companies operating out of Edmonton were the first anywhere to figure out how to do it by air. By the late 1930s more air freight was being carried in Canada than all the rest of the world together and most of that was flown out of Edmonton. Today's enormous world-wide air freight business was essentially invented here.
The increasing numbers of large and complex aircraft flying out of Edmonton led to another important development. The early barnstormers and bush flyers either did their own maintenance and repairs or took their mechanics along with them to work in the open air or in improvised shelters. To keep the planes flying on scheduled routes in all seasons required a better organization. In 1936, Leigh Brintnell solved the problem by banding together with several other operators to establish a company called Aircraft Repair Limited. This was the first venture of its kind in Canada and it was crucial to the expansion of the aviation industry in Edmonton and throughout northern Canada. When war came three years later, Aircraft Repair was renamed North West Industries and its original two dozen employees grew to 1750 by 1943.
The establishment of Aircraft Repair was just one example of how the flying activities of the 1930s laid the groundwork for the massive expansion of wartime. When war broke out in 1939 the immediate need was to train thousands of pilots, navigators and other aircrew. The result was the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan under which Canada trained 130,000 aircrew from Canada, other Commonwealth countries and many escapees from the countries of Nazi-occupied Europe – Poles, Norwegians, French and others. Edmonton was fully involved in the BCATP as the home of No. 4 Initial Training School, No. 16 Elementary Flying Training School and No. 2 Air Observer School. Blatchford Field was barely adjusting to the dozens of Tiger Moths and Ansons with all the people needed to keep them flying and the construction of buildings to house them when the American entry into the war at the end of 1941 changed the game once again.
As early as two decades before, with Billy Mitchell's Army Air Force flight to Alaska, the United States had recognized that in the event of a war with Japan an inland air route through Edmonton would be essential to the defense of that territory. American interest was confirmed in 1934 when Lt. Col. H.H. Arnold (later to command the USAAF during the war) took a flight of Martin B-10 bombers through to Alaska. Their return down the west coast through Vancouver and Seattle demonstrated that the flying weather on this route was too consistently bad to make it practical for regular use. Well before Pearl Harbor agreements were in place with the Canadian government for the construction of a highway to Alaska and an accompanying air route. Fuel for the war effort in Alaska would be supplied from Imperial Oil's field at Norman Wells in the North West Territories via a pipeline though the Mackenzie Mountains.
Companies flying into the north were now pushed to the limit and beyond. The Canadian Pacific Railway bought up Grant McConachie's Yukon Southern and several others and hired him as the western manager of the new Canadian Pacific Airlines, based in Edmonton. The Canadian and American governments quickly agreed to upgrade the facilities on the route to Fairbanks through Whitehorse, now to be called the North West Staging Route, with emergency fields, navigational aids and radio communications. In 1942 the Americans began building their own hangars at Blatchford Field to accommodate the transport squadrons based there. The final touch was the decision to use the route to ferry planes to the hard-pressed Russians through Alaska. Not only did 8000 aircraft pass through Edmonton en route, the city was the headquarters for an intercontinental operation that began the factories of New York and California and ended in Siberia.
As the flow of warplanes began, the Russians asked for modifications to the most numerous types, P-39s and P-63s. These were done in North West Industries rapidly expanding facilities. By 1943 when all the wartime operations were at their peak, Blatchford Field was the busiest airport in the world, setting a record of more than 850 aircraft movements in a single day. No airport anywhere had faced this kind of traffic on a sustained basis. To cope with it, North West Staging Route headquarters established what was effectively the prototype for the modern air traffic control system now in use worldwide. Aircraft movements from Great Falls, Montana, to Whitehorse were directed centrally from Edmonton, the first time airplanes had been routinely controlled out of the direct line of vision of a control tower. Not surprisingly the cramped conditions at Blatchford, and its increasing use by very large aircraft like B-29s, led the Americans to start construction on a new field at Namao north of the city in 1943. When it opened the following year Namao had the longest runways in Canada.
The end of the war in 1945 brought little, if any, decline in aviation activity in Edmonton. The RCAF continued operations with, among other things, the Weather Experimental Establishment, which tested new aircraft types for their ability to function in cold weather. Both major airlines that came out of the war period, Trans-Canada Airlines and Canadian Pacific Airlines, used Edmonton as part of their national and international networks. Northern flying with new companies like Associated Airways and Max Ward's fledgling company was busier than ever. Large four-engined passenger planes such as Lockheed Super Constellations, Boeing Stratocruisers and Douglas DC-7s were coming into service that had sufficient range to make possible flights from Europe to the west coast of North America or from Japan and China to Chicago and New York. Those routes passed directly over Edmonton and required fueling stops just about here. The popular slogan changed from 'Gateway to the North' to 'Crossroads of the World.'
The city took back control of the airport in 1946 from the Department of National Defence. Continued growth of civil aviation and the inability to expand because of the CN rail yards to the north and housing to the south made necessary difficult decisions about the future of Blatchford Field by the 1950s. In many ways the obvious thing to do was to move to Namao which already had runways that would accommodate the largest aircraft (long enough, in fact, that it was designated as an alternate landing site for the space shuttle in the 1970s). The US turned over control of the base to the RCAF in 1955 but with the cold war at its frostiest and Strategic Air Command B-52s shuttling through on their fail-safe missions to the edge of Russian air space, neither air force wanted their runways cluttered with civilian airplanes.
In 1958 the Department of Transport, with input from a local committee, chose a site for a new international airport near Leduc, almost twice as far from the city centre as Namao. Ironically this was the same year that the Boeing 707 went into service, an airplane that would fundamentally change the structure of world air travel and undermine most of the assumptions behind the choice of the new airport. The airport opened for business in 1960 but for several decades business was notable largely for its absence. The new big jets had sufficient range that they no longer needed a fueling stop on flights from Europe and Asia and the dream of a 'crossroads of the world' quickly faded. By the end of the 1960s City Centre Airport was busier than ever. Northern business was booming and Pacific Western Airlines started its hugely successful airbus service to Calgary in 1963. Starting out with DC-4s, Pacific Western's airbus became even more popular in 1968 when Boeing 737s came into service, an airplane designed specifically to get in and out of City Centre's relatively short runways.
There were other success stories from that period. Max Ward's northern operations were branching out into a national charter passenger operation. North West Industries, after a failed effort to build Bellanca bush planes in the late 1940s, went back to its original business of repair and maintenance with a series of major contracts for work on CF-104s for the air force and on Hercules aircraft for Canada and several other national air forces. Nobody in the aviation industry showed much interest in shutting down City Centre Airport and moving down the road to Leduc. By the mid-1980s the International Airport was a disappointment on its way to becoming a disaster with passenger traffic at just 2 million a year and dropping. At that time PWA alone was flying 3 million.
In 1989 Transport Canada turned over all airport operations to a new body called the Edmonton Regional Airports Authority. The Authority rather quickly decided that City Centre Airport was the root of the International's problems. The theory was that City Centre funneled traffic to Calgary and discouraged airlines from offering direct flights to major destinations from the International. A campaign based on this idea was mounted that culminated in a 1995 referendum in which 77% of voters in the municipal election cast their ballots in favor of consolidating all scheduled jet passenger traffic at the International. Scheduled operations with more than nineteen passengers per flight were prohibited at City Centre.
At the end of the twentieth century it was apparent that many people expected and hoped that City Centre Airport without scheduled air service would shrivel and die. Instead, general aviation operations there continued to thrive. Not all stories have a happy ending. The International airport by 2010 was doing much better than the dismal days of the 1980s but the recent 'Break the Calgary Habit' advertising campaign reveals that eliminating scheduled service at City Centre has not solved all problems. City Council's decision to shut down the historic airport completely turned into a bitter and divisive political fight. The 1950s vision of Edmonton as an aerial 'crossroads of the world' has long since vanished and an unbiased observer would undoubtedly say that Calgary is now the aviation crossroads of western Canada. Whether or not closing City Centre Airport will bring a definitive end to Edmonton's status as 'Gateway to the North' is an open question.

MAYFLOWER, Ark. (AP) — An Exxon Mobil Corp. spokeswoman says crews have recovered about 19,000 barrels of oil and water since a pipeline ruptured in central Arkansas last week.
That number from spokeswoman Kim Jordan is up from an estimated 12,000 barrels of water and oil that the company had previously cited.
ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline ruptured Friday, spilling thousands of barrels of oil in the small city of Mayflower, about 25 miles northwest of Little Rock.
No one was injured, but authorities evacuated more than 20 homes in the area.
A news release from ExxonMobil and local authorities also says the oil spill has not affected Mayflower's drinking water supply. Jordan says the company is not aware of any other drinking water supplies affected by the oil spill.

Tempurpedic Mattresses are one of the best quality mattresses available on the market. They are not cheap but in my view, worth every cent. Most people looking to buy tempurpedic mattress do not have an idea of what to look for when buying. This article will attempt to address that problem.
There are two things you should be aware of before buying a tempurpedic mattress. They are foam density and ILD (Indention Load Deflection).
Memory Foam Density
Memory foam density is simply how much one cubic foot of memory foam weigh. Most tempurpedic mattress has a memory foam density of 5 lb. The problem with that is some people feel 5 lb foam density is too tough and firm, so other mattresses are introduced offering 4lb and even 3 lb density.
This is an important indication as to the tempurpedic mattress you are buying is genuine or fake. So make sure you ask the seller before buying a tempurpedic mattresses.
It is important you understand these 2 terms before you buy a tempurpedic mattress especially online where there are many sellers selling fake tempurpedic mattress.
Beds, Beds And Beds! The Many Choices We Have
Do you know - beds made out of memory foam were developed originally for astronauts? They provided them support and relived pressure from their bodies during take-off and landing. After that, these mattresses were introduced in the world of medicines, to help patients with severe burns or bed sores.Today, you can see beds made out of memory foam in almost all hospitals across UK and the world. The wonderful quality of this foam is that it can mould itself as per the body shape and render complete support. It is this feature that has made it tremendously popular. It has managed to penetrate even the bedrooms of common people.To reap the benefits of this, you need to purchase them from a branded company. E-commerce has made it easy to choose a suitable mattress from a vast collection.So, if you are happy, yet cannot sleep at night or wake up with an aching neck or back, there might be something wrong with your bed. High comfort level and high quality sleep are the two greatest benefits of beds made out of memory foam.

FULL MOON! OH NO! This is the lament of many fly fishers who feel that the moon light spoils their fishing.
Well this Fly can and has on numerous occasions proved to be a good fish fetcher for me.
My reasoning is that if the moon turns the night to day. Then fish as though it is daylight.
Give it a try and the beauty of this fly is that it is just as effective in real daylight.

I made a big batch of this soup for my lunches and froze about half of it. I disagree with the reviewer who said it was bland - I thought the flavor was great! Not overly salty, which is usually my problem with chicken soups. The homemade stock really added to the flavor, and the okra was a fun and delicious addition. Definitely going to become a staple in my freezer!
May 23, 2012
This was VERY healthy, but Very bland. It didn't have a lot of flavor. I was actually embarrassed to serve it to my family. :(
Feb 9, 2012
This is a wonderful recipe, brimming with flavor from the "home-made broth" and the variety of veggies. I served it to a bunch of northerners who aren't familiar with okra and they loved it... the okra flavor/texture doesn't stick out but works really great with everything else. I am making it again this weekend and doubling it!

We are targeting people who would read self-help books and be inspired by people like Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and Mike Dooley.
We would like the abbreviation for our company name "CPL" to be incorporated into the logo.
We'd like the logo to use blue and green colors.
A tie-in to the ocean or sunrise or some other image that invokes the feeling of being on the coast would also be cool, but feel free to be creative here if you have other ideas. Think Key West. (Yellow or even orange can be used in addition to blue and green if using a sunrise image.)
It may be helpful to take a quick look at my author website, http://www.WakeUpToPowerfulLiving.com, to see my book cover and get an idea of the inspirational feeling we want to invoke with the logo.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
We are looking for a logo we can use on the website we are creating, as well as for use on business cards and letterhead, so we'll need a print file format and a web file format.

We know that Clearwire can ditch WiMAX pretty soon, but the company appears to be intent on keeping the technology in its current plans as it announces 4G LTE trials which include tests of "coexistence scenarios between LTE and WiMAX".
Clearwire Announces New 4G LTE Technology Trials Expected to Yield Unmatched Wireless Speeds in the U.S.
KIRKLAND, Wash., Aug 04, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ:CLWR), a leading provider of wireless broadband services and operator of the largest 4G network in the country, today announced plans to conduct 4G LTE technology trials expected to yield unmatched wireless speeds in the U.S., and to test multiple coexistence scenarios between LTE and WiMAX radio technologies. The new tests are designed to showcase the unique capability of Clearwire's unmatched spectrum holdings and examine a variety of potential future technology combinations that could yield additional benefits to consumers and shareholders.
"Clearwire's unmatched spectrum and all-IP network make us the only service provider in the U.S. able to conduct tests of this nature and on this scale," said Dr. John Saw, Clearwire's chief technology officer. "As we have consistently stated, we remain technology agnostic, but WiMAX provides us with unique advantages to meet the needs of our customers today. Ultimately, consumers don't care about technical acronyms, but they do care about quality and affordable Internet services that work where and when they want, and that's what we're focused on delivering. Part of our technical due diligence at Clearwire is to be prepared to leverage a number of possible opportunities as we future-proof our network, and that's the goal of these tests."
The company expects the technical trials to demonstrate that Clearwire's 4G network can deliver significantly higher performance using LTE technologies than any other operator. Clearwire plans to conduct the tests in collaboration with Huawei Technologies, the same infrastructure provider which deployed the world's first commercial LTE network in Europe, using the same spectrum band and flexible base station platform that Clearwire utilizes in the United States. In the same vein, Clearwire will also be testing LTE on Samsung Electronics' common base station platform which it currently uses for its mobile WiMAX deployments. During the trials, Clearwire will collaborate with Beceem, and other partners, to determine the best methods for enabling end-user devices to take advantage of a potential multi-mode WiMAX/LTE network. Other participating vendors for Clearwire's technical trials are expected to be named at a later date. In addition, due to the global dominance of the 2.5 GHz - 2.6 GHz spectrum band, a number of large wireless operators are expected to participate with Clearwire on these tests. Additional details about those companies are also expected to be disclosed at a later date. The tests will be conducted in the fall and throughout early 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Dr. Saw continued, "The 2.5 GHz spectrum band is universally allocated for global 4G deployments, so it has the potential to create one of the world's most robust ecosystem across billions of devices. We believe this commonality will result in a massive diversity of mobile devices and applications, at comparably low costs, due to unmatched economies-of-scale. In a 4G world, wireless coverage is important, but capacity is king. This capacity is a unique and sustainable advantage for Clearwire, thanks to our all-IP network and unmatched spectrum holdings."
Test Scenarios
Clearwire expects to conduct tests across three key areas:
- FDD LTE: Clearwire intends to conduct FDD LTE (Frequency Division Duplex) tests using 40 MHz of spectrum, paired in 20 MHz contiguous channels, of its 2.5 GHz spectrum. Clearwire expects to confirm the capability to produce real-world download speeds that range from 20-70 Mbps. This is expected to be significantly faster than the 5-12 Mbps speeds currently envisioned by other LTE deployments in the U.S., which will rely on smaller pairs of 10 Mhz channels or less.
- TDD LTE: Clearwire will concurrently test TDD LTE (Time Division Duplex), in a 20 MHz configuration, which is twice the channel size currently used in its 4G WiMAX deployments.
- WiMAX and LTE: Clearwire will also test WiMAX co-existence with both FDD LTE and TDD LTE to confirm the flexibility of its network and spectrum strength to simultaneously support a wide-range of devices across its all-IP network.
The company also restated its commitment to use WiMAX technology for its current 4G build plan. Since the company expects that a significant number of LTE devices will be available in coming years, Clearwire is conducting technical trials to determine how it could potentially add LTE technology to coexist with WiMAX.
Additional details about the new technology tests were not disclosed.

Paul is 35 years old. Jessi is 32. They've been together 17 years and married for 13.
How old were you when you got married?
Jessi: I was only 19.
Jessi: Yeah ... [laughs]
Who proposed, and did you talk about it at all beforehand?
Jessi: This is good, this is good. Can I tell the story?
Paul: Yeah, go for it.
Jessi: He was in the military and he'd been gone six weeks and I flew to Texas with his parents and I was like, "OK, so this is not gonna work. I have to come with you. So we have to get married." And he was like, "OK!," and I was like, "Really?" and he was like, "Yep."
Tell me a little about your wedding.
Paul: It was 200–250 people thereabouts.
Jessi: We got married in the church I attended growing up. We were so young I really didn't care about the details. If we were to do it now it would be so different. I mean, I didn't care about traditions, going to register for things. I was 19! Now I think about weddings all the time because of Pinterest, but then I really didn't.
Any drama surrounding you getting hitched? Was anyone not into it?
Paul: Her mom wasn't into it there for a little bit.
Jessi: Her biggest threat was, "If you drop out of school, I'm coming to get you and you're coming home." But with always wanting to be a teacher, that wasn't an option for me.
Wait, so nobody was like, "You're only 19. What are you doing?!"
Paul: Her mom was, and her stepdad. They took her out to dinner to talk about it.
Jessi: My stepdad said to me, "Jessi, it doesn't matter how much we've spent, it doesn't matter how many people are there, " and this is like weeks before the wedding, "if you change your mind, that's fine. Don't do it." [Laughs.]
What did your parents think, Paul?
Paul: They were excited. I mean, with me being 22, I was kinda older. My siblings, they were 16, 18, and 19 when they got married, so I had kind of held off a bit. But that was kind of the mentality back then where we're from; that's just what you did: got a good job, got married, had babies.
What's been the most surprising thing about marriage?
Paul: I spent about three years total deployed. So that's something that was against us at the start. But also, every time you come back you have a honeymoon period, so that made it great too. We missed each other.
Jessi: I always joke with people and say every good marriage needs a deployment. [Laughs.]
How has your sex life changed since you got married? Wait. You guys were so young — were you even having sex before you got married?
[Long pause while they look at each other.]
Jessi: Yes. [Laughs.]
Paul: Yeah.
Did marriage change that?
Jessi: Oh absolutely, yeah. It's changed since we've been married, different ups and downs. And we've also had a lot of infertility issues. We've been trying to get pregnant for … nine years now? For a long time sex has revolved around trying to get pregnant.
Do you, as a guy, feel like you're not allowed to have sex unless you're putting a baby in her?
Paul: You have to time it so much it's almost like work. And it wasn't that passionate, it's just like, "OK, it's time!"
Was it that specific? Down to the minute?
Jessi: To the day, especially when we tried different medicines.
Did that make you less fun to be around, Jessi? We joke among my friends going through that that of course this fertility treatment won't work because now I'm on all these hormones that give me a headache and make me a bitch so no one will want to have sex with me.
Paul: Right!
Jessi: Exactly, yes. Yep! We did actually get pregnant one time with one of the IUIs we did, but it ended up being a molar pregnancy. We just gave up for a while and that was actually a really awesome time for us. We bought a motorcycle, and I remember for seven nights straight we had s'mores for dinner because that's all I wanted, and we drank a lot of wine and it was actually really fun. Like, "Who cares?"
Where are you guys at with it now?
Jessi: Well, we're not doing any medicine now. I've kind of let it go. We do monitor the days, so we have a three- or four-day window and we make sure to have sex at least on those days, but we also try to make sure we're having sex when it's NOT those three or four days.
What is the thing that you fight about most?
Paul: OK, I'm just gonna say it: Every time we go home, trying to divide our time up with our families, that's really hard. When we go home for the holidays it seems like that's our biggest fight because we're trying to pick and choose who to be with what day. There were a couple years where I went with my family and she went with hers.
Jessi: Which was nice because we could both see our families, but then we weren't seeing each other at the holidays.
What are you gonna do this year?
Paul: Stay here.
Jessi: Every year we say that, Jane. [Laughs.] We've had a crisis or two with fighting and the stress of our families and stuff; it got to a point where we were like, "What are we gonna do about this?"
About your marriage? Over the holiday stuff!?
Jessi: Yeah.
Paul: Really. But not only that, we had the stress of trying to have a kid. And the fights weren't necessarily about that, but it made a bigger impact on things.
What is the best thing you've done for your marriage?
Jessi: Going to church together and both agreeing we're not giving up, ever. We've done a few studies with our small group at church that I think has really saved us. For me, since I got better with my relationship with Jesus and my reading the bible and my doing what it says, that's changed me as a wife. I feel like I'm much better at it now. Like I have these guidelines and principles to follow that I didn't follow when I was 19.
Specifically what? Do you have any principles that come to mind?
Jessi: Absolutely. So one example is my job as the wife is to be his help mate. That is my job. My goal every day is, "OK, how can I help him?" I put Paul first before my own needs as much as I can. There are some days where I don't, obviously, but I always try to make sure that, "OK, what does he need?" because that's my job.
Does he do the same for you?
Paul: Yeah!
Jessi: Yeah, and then the husband's job is to make sure I'm loved. As long as I'm loved, I'm taken care of. So I think keeping those two principles in mind has made a world of difference to us. I think if I didn't have that, I don't know that we'd still be married.
Jessi: Especially the family fights and all that.
Why, because it helps you have compassion for him?
Jessi: Absolutely. And when I do it, it's a form of worship for God. I don't have to do it because Paul's awesome, you know? I can hear wives right now, "Well he didn't do this, and he didn't do this and this." But it's not about what Paul does for me, it's about, "How can I do what God wants me to do?" And when that's my focus, that's when we get along the best.
Any advice for married people?
Jessi: I know I joke that a marriage needs a deployment here and there, but you do need a break. You need your own time. You need separate time, so you can miss each other. And my mom always says you should always make sure to take your husband breakfast in bed.
How often?
Jessi: At least coffee every day.
Paul: Every time we go to her mom's, she makes sure it's every day.
Jessi: I mean, I don't do it here at home, though!

Greenpeace scored supermarkets on their fish purchasing policies, checking to see if any endangered "red list" fish— like orange roughy, swordfish and Chilean sea bass — were still being sold, and whether or not sustainable seafood policies or initiatives were implemented. No supermarkets got a "Good" score, but seven stores — with Wegman's, Ahold USA and Whole Foods topping the list — earned a "Pass" score. The remaining 13 — including Trader Joe's — were labeled "Fail."
This means that if you do your seafood shopping at a major supermarket or grocery store, you'd be well advised to carry along a Monterey Bay Aquarium Sustainable Seafood Guide to avoid buying any enviro-questionable seafood.
If you're lucky enough to have co-ops or other health food markets near you, check to see if Greenpeace has given it a score — because some smaller and indie stores actually get passing grades! At those places, your seafood shopping will be less stressful, since you won't have to constantly consult your Seafood Watch guide.
Of course, if you're concerned about your mercury consumption as well as species preservation, you'll still need a separate guide. Thanks to reader Mel, I've found a new seafood guide that combines all this info! Neil Banas made an eco-nerdy seafood guide (PDF) merging together eco and toxins info. Print it out and enjoy sustainable, healthy seafood.

Earlier this year, I seriously asked myself whether 2011 would be the year I came out and admitted to myself that I am, actually, a Buddhist. My religious/spiritual beliefs are somewhat confusing, even to me. I've always felt somewhat religious, even though I know that it's all a crock, and I'm pretty much a hardcore rationalist. However, no religion I've ever found actually seems to suit me.
I'm a bit pagan, in that I do tend to observe the Celtic seasonal festivals, but that's more to do with marking the passage of time than anything mystical. I've messed around with various occult systems, and have found them to be, on occasion, a good way to deal with psychological issues and personal development. (I don't, for example, believe that casting spells can have any effect; on the other hand, making talismans in a ritual fashion can concentrate the mind wonderfully and help you to focus on the problem you're trying to address.) I'm definitely not a believer in "big church" religion, and I'm totally opposed to following religious laws that can't be justified in a modern context, no matter how sensible they were when first conceived.
Since I was about 13, though, I've had a fascination with Buddhism, particularly Zen. What I liked most about it was that it was much more about understanding your own mind and learning to live in the world than anything I normally think of as a religion. The Dalai Lama couldn't be much more different to the Pope – he's always talking about compassion, kindness, and understanding, not calling down damnation on those who doesn't follow some archaic teachings, or who follow them in a slightly different way.
Two months later, I've decided it's not for me after all. Of all the religions I've flirted with, Buddhism's still the one I feel most comfortable with, but I wouldn't be honest with myself if I said it was something I can actually accept. Here's why.
- Belief in authority: many Buddhist teachings rely on the words of past masters. It feels like some old-time school where all you're required to do is to learn selected quotes from Aristotle or Aquinas and parrot them back unquestioningly. That's not enough for me. Just because Lama so-and-so said something doesn't, to my mind, make it true. However, that's often all you get.
- Too many myths: traditional Buddhism is full of mythology. There's a firm belief in ghosts and other supernatural elements. While I love myths and stories, I can't make myself believe in them. (Strangely, I have very little problem accepting the idea of karma, but deities as literal beings? Not for me.)
- Belief in parables: a typical Buddhist teaching method is the parable. Someone does something bad and misfortune befalls him; someone else does something good and he is rewarded. Those kind of stories are fine as kids' fairy tales, but that's not something I can accept as part of a serious belief system. It's one thing when they're presented as allegory (which Christian parables generally are), but not when they're presented as literal truth.
- Reliance on lists: the final straw for me was the extensive lists enumerating all sorts of things. I can't quite put my finger on why, but those annoyed me. For example, one book I had listed the 80 characteristics of a Bodhisattva. They just seemed to me like lists of adjectives, especially when they started repeating themselves (e.g. neat hair, tidy hair, clean hair, well-trimmed hair). That seems to me like one thing: Bodhisattvas look after their hair. What's the point in making me learn four ways to say the same thing? It just felt, well, childish. And then they started listing clean nails, well-trimmed nails, clean face, clean skin, clean feet, and so on. Okay, okay, I get it! Bodhisattvas have personal hygiene!
It was the same with various other lists; they didn't seem to tell me anything, just weird metaphysical categorization of things for no apparent reason. Like lists of postures you can adopt while meditating (sitting, lying, standing, kneeling, walking, etc) or times of day you can meditate (before dawn, at dawn, after dawn, mid-morning, etc), which basically boil down to "you can do this any way you like, any time you like". It feels like false wisdom – lots of words, signifying nothing.
I'll still have my smiling Buddhas by my desk and by my bed, though. Right next to the Ganesha, the mandalas, the Tree of Life, and the Celtic talismans. There's something in all religions. Just not the religious bit. Not for me, anyway.

Nengah Sudarsana Hand-carved wood art
"From an early age I loved natural things – plants, animals, birds or sea life… I particularly want to create wildlife and other animal themes in an exact, realistic and original way…."
"When I was still quite young I knew I had an ability to translate nature into artful things of beauty. Because my life has always centered on animals and other natural themes, I use these as my subjects, usually interpreted in tropical woods. Now I have the opportunity to create art subjects incorporating not only Indonesian wildlife but also others from all corners of the earth.
"Although I have no formal art training and work purely from my own inspiration and intuition, I know what looks good and what doesn't look right in a carving. I particularly want to create wildlife and other animal themes in an exact, realistic and original way. Each piece is carefully created with this realism in mind. I will not allow anything out of my hands that I would not want to own and display in my own house. It's my highest desire that every piece goes to a home and will give great joy for as long as the owner has it."
2008 update from Nengah Sudarsana:
"Novica has created a much better life for me and my family. Before, I could hardly afford to live in a single room home. Now I live in a house with three rooms, and have my own car. Most importantly, I now support many other artisans who work with me. My family and I live a much better life, and five other families now benefit directly from my Novica sales. I am also able to help my relatives, especially the younger children, who now have shoes, clothes, and an education that they couldn't have before. Since joining Novica, I have also grown in my realization of how we as Balinese fit into the whole world picture. Before, I was like a lot of fellow Balinese in that my thinking was centered on Bali only, as if Bali was the world! Now I realize more how we are just a piece of the puzzle. When I read customers' comments about my products, I'm filled with a great sense of well being and pride, to be able to create something that others value. After all, in Bali we are a mere spot in a vast ocean, and I realize this now when I see customer responses from all over the world! Often I look on a map or a globe to see where my customers live. It's amazing that my carvings are now in so many various places, and I am here. It is almost as if part of me has traveled to those other places and is now residing there."

Sanderson earns top honors in short-story competition
The Texas Institute of Letters has honored Jim Sanderson, professor and chair in Lamar University's Department of English and Modern Languages, with the Kay Cattarulla Award for short-story writing.
The institute – considered the most prestigious literary organization in Texas – presented the award Saturday, April 6, at its annual meeting in San Marcos. The award recognizes the best short story written by a Texan or about Texas.
Sanderson's award-winning story, "Bankers," was published in Descant, the literary journal of Texas Christian University.
"When I received the award, I was in San Marcos, Texas, where some people said that I got a 'mis-education.'My parents attended – to see if their money for my 'mis-education' was well spent," said Sanderson, who earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State).
"I received an award sponsored by Kay Cattarulla, who previously pushed my career forward by getting Larry Hagman to read another story of mine in public. I have known my fellow finalists and participated in Texas literary events with them for more than 30 years. And I had a lot of friends in the crowd who helped me. I had a lot of help, so I wanted to share the honor, but, as a writer, I kept the money."
Lamar University virtually swept the short-story competition, Sanderson said, with writers with Lamar connections honored as finalists for the Cattarulla Award.
One of the finalists is Jerry Craven, for "Brenda Without Skin," which appeared in the Concho River Review at Angelo State University. Craven, a 1964 Lamar graduate and resident of Jasper, is editor-in-chief of the Lamar University Press, a literary publisher launched in 2012.
The other finalist is Jan Seale's "Going Forth," which appeared in "Appearances," the first book published by Lamar University Press. Seale, the current Poet Laureate of Texas, appeared at the 2012 Lamar Literary Festival to promote "Appearances." A resident of McAllen, Seale formerly taught English and creative writing at the University of Texas-Pan American.
Sanderson's story appeared in Volume 51 of "Descant," which marked the last produced under the direction of longtime editor Dave Kuhne, another featured writer at the 2012 Lamar Literary Festival.
The award honors Kay Cattarulla, who started Arts and Letters Live with the Dallas Museum of Arts. Cattarulla brought a long New York City literary tradition to Texas, showcasing Texas actors reading Texas writers' stories. Cattarulla previously enlisted Hagman, the late actor of "Dallas" fame, to read another story by Sanderson, "Ladies Man."

(b) The chief executive officer or his designee may submit a consolidated grant application at any time prior to expenditure of the funds proposed for consolidation. The application must specify the amount of funds proposed for consolidation, the titles of the programs that are the sources of funds that are to be consolidated and the titles of the programs under whose statutory authority the funds are to be expended.
(c) The application must contain the assurances, certifications, and other information required by the statutes and regulations applicable to those programs under which funds will be expended. If any of the requirements for these latter programs are substantially the same, they may be met by a single assurance, certification, or narrative, as appropriate.

Funds awarded under a consolidated grant must be used for purposes authorized by the statutes and regulations of the programs included in the consolidated grant. In its application for a consolidated grant the insular area is to indicate the amount of funds that will be allocated to the eligible programs.
(a) An insular area receiving a consolidated grant must comply with the statutes and regulations applicable to the programs under which the funds are to be used, except as otherwise provided in this part.
(b) In regard to programs included in a consolidated grant, an insular area need not comply with any of the statutory or regulatory provisions requiring recipients to match federal funds with their own or other funds.
(c) A single report may be submitted in lieu of any individual reports that may be required under the programs included in a consolidated grant.

With your Play Console, you can set your app as paid or free, select your app's country availability, and opt-in to distribute your app to additional Android devices and programs.
Note: After you publish an app or update, including price changes, adding SKUs, or making changes to your app's distribution settings, it can take a few hours for your changes to be shown on Google Play.
Make your app free or paid
- Go to your Play Console.
- Select an app.
- Select Store presence > Pricing & distribution.
- Next to "This application is," select Free or Paid.
- Note: Users in most countries can download paid apps and make in-app purchases. To verify purchase availability, review our list of price ranges and currencies allowed by country.
Changes to your app's Free or Paid selection
- You can change your app from Paid to Free.
- Once your app has been offered for Free, the app can't be changed to Paid. If you want to charge for the app, you need to create a new app with a new package name and set a price.
Enter a price
When you offer paid apps and in-app products on Google Play, a transaction fee applies.
Note: If you aren't distributing a paid app or in-app item to a country that you enter a price for, users won't have access to it.Paid apps
To set up pricing for a paid app:
- Set up a payments profile. You'll use the Play Console to specify your tax rates.
- Review our list of currencies and price ranges allowed by country.
- On the Pricing & distribution page in your Play Console, enter a price.
- We use the price you enter as the base for calculating market-specific prices. We'll convert your price to the local currency, add tax (in select countries), and apply locally relevant pricing patterns and valid exchange rates for the date on which you set the price for your app. You can manually refresh the price to ensure that the local price reflects the latest exchange rate.
- The price you enter will be used in all countries without local currency support. When a local currency isn't supported, a price in USD or EUR is generated. Prices generated in USD or EUR are based on the price that you enter.
- The currency used in each country is set and can't be changed.
To set up prices for in-app items, learn how to administer in-app billing.
View or update local pricesPaid apps
Use default local prices
- On your Pricing & distribution page, select individual countries or check the box next to "Select all countries."
- In the "Price" column, review the local prices for each country.
- Local prices use today's exchange rate and country-specific pricing patterns.
- If a country doesn't support local currency, the price you entered for your default currency will be used instead.
Update default local prices
To update local prices to use today's exchange rate and country-specific pricing patterns:
- Next to the countries you want to update, check the box(es).
- Select Refresh exchange rates.
To set your own local price:
- Next to the country you want to update, select Edit.
- Type the price you want to offer.
- Select Apply.
For more information, go to offer apps in multiple currencies.
To set up prices for in-app items, learn how to administer in-app billing.
Use the same prices for multiple items
You can use pricing templates to setup or manage the same set of prices for multiple paid apps and in-app products. If you update a pricing template, all items linked to the template will use the template's latest prices.
You can use up to 100 different pricing templates per developer account, and you can link up to 1,000 items to each pricing template.Pricing template permission requirements
- You need the "Edit store listing, pricing & distribution" permission for each app you want to include in a pricing template.
- To see all apps included in a pricing template, you need the "View app information" permission for each app.
- If you can't edit a template that you created, check if someone added an app to the template you don't have permission to access.
- Go to your Play Console.
- Select Settings > Pricing template > New pricing template.
- Name your template.
- Enter a price. We'll use the price you enter as the base for calculating market-specific prices. We'll convert your price to the local currency, add tax (in select countries), and apply locally relevant pricing patterns and valid exchange rates for the date on which you set the price for your app. You can manually refresh the price to ensure that the local price reflects the latest exchange rate.
- The price you enter will be used in all countries without local currency support.
- Choose whether you want to include tax in the price you entered.
- Price includes applicable tax: If your default price is 9.99 EUR and you want all prices in the EU market to be 9.99 EUR (regardless of country-specific tax rates), use this option.
- Add applicable tax on top of price: By default, tax will be added onto your price. This means we'll take your default price of 9.99 EUR and add the applicable tax per country.
- Review local prices.
- Select Create template.
- Go to the Linked items tab.
- In the "Link in-app products" and "Link paid apps" sections, select an app name. If you're linking in-app products, choose from the list of in-app products for that app.
- Select Link. When you've successfully linked an item, it will appear under the "Linked items" section.
After you've created a pricing template, you can update local prices to use today's exchange rate and country-specific pricing patterns.
- Go to your Play Console.
- Select Settings > Pricing template.
- Select a pricing template.
- In the "Country" column, check the box(es) next to the countries you want to refresh.
- At the top of the "Local prices" section, select Refresh exchange rates.
- If the Refresh exchange rates button is greyed out, make sure you've selected at least one country.
- Select Save.
- Go to your Play Console.
- Select Settings > Pricing template.
- Select a template and then the Linked Items tab.
- Next to the item you want to remove, select Unlink.

If you're a developer in the U.S. or Canada and want to distribute paid apps on managed Google Play, you can make your app available for bulk purchase and distribution to devices running managed Google Play.
To opt-in, make sure to carefully review the terms and conditions. You need to accept the terms and conditions before your app can be distributed to managed Google Play.
Note: If you have free apps, there's no need to opt-in. Free apps are automatically available to devices running managed Google Play.
You should declare whether or not your app contains ads (like ads delivered through third party ad networks, display ads, native ads, and/or banner ads) on your app's App content page. Apps that contain ads will have a "Contains ads" label shown on their Store Listing page.
Note: The "Contains ads" label isn't meant to cover whether an app contains other kinds of commercial content, like paid product placement or offers to make in-app purchases or upgrades. If your app includes paid product placements, make sure they comply with local laws.
Here are a few examples of when you should answer "yes" to having ads for purposes of the "Contains ads" label. This isn't a comprehensive list but just a few examples based on the most common types of ads.
- Banner and interstitials: My app integrates with an Ad SDK to show banners and/or interstitials. I use the ad formats to monetize and/or promote my own products or apps.
- Native ads: My app includes ads natively, indistinguishable from other content (e.g. sponsored articles, ads within a feed, etc).
- House ads: My app renders a small ad banner, interstitial ad, ad wall and/or widget to promote my other apps.
You should answer "no" to having ads for purposes of the "Contains ads" label if you only cross-promote your other apps in the following ways:
- The app displays a More Apps* section in the main menu leading a user to your other apps
- The More Apps* option does not interfere with gameplay
- The More Apps* option does not confuse the user by embedding itself within gameplay
*Other acceptable substitutions for More Apps include More Games, More to Explore, Full Version, More, About Us, or your Developer Icon.
Additional monitoring
While you're responsible for accurately declaring ad presence in your apps, Google may verify this at any time and display the "Contains ads" label if appropriate.
If you think your app has been incorrectly labeled by our system, contact our support team for help.
If you misrepresent the presence of ads in your app(s), it's considered a violation of Google Play policies and may result in your app(s) being suspended.
Distribute apps outside Google Play
Distributing your apps through Google Play is non-exclusive; you may choose to distribute your applications through other channels as well. Keep in mind the version published through Google Play must comply with all Google Play policies.

Compare USB Safely Remove with native Windows safe removal tool
A handy menu to stop devices
The main disadvantage of using the built-in Windows safe removal tool is that when using several hot-plug devices it is often quite difficult to recognize which device needs to be stopped. Most devices have the same name: "USB mass storage device". In addition, Windows does not let you hide a device you would not want to stop from the menu.
USB Safely Remove saves you from these problems and offers an original and multifunctional stopping menu, which displays actual device names with icons. Using this menu you can find and stop a device in a snap!
Also, this menu allows you to:
Rename a device
Change a device image
Hide a device from the menu
Scan for hardware changes
Stop all devices at once
The device cannot be stopped right now. Why?
Ever encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB Safely Remove will show you the programs which prevent the device from being stopped and let you close these programs or just the files they opened on the device.
Know more...
Keyboard shortcuts to safe removal
Like to do everything using the keyboard? Now you can stop and view devices with only ONE hotkey! No need to remember keyboard shortcuts for each device. Being in any application, press the key combination (Win+S by default) and you will see the stop menu. Use the Up\Down Arrow keys to select the device you need and either press Enter to stop it or Ctrl B to view the contents of a device disk. Also you can assign a dedicated hotkey to stop a certain device.
Know more...
Program autorun on device connection\disconnection
Another USB Safely Remove feature that distinguishes it from similar software is starting any applications not only after connecting a device, but also
removing it. The autorun feature allows you to set up data backup before disconnecting a removable hard drive, to run Total Commander with the contents of the pen-drive, automatically unmount an encrypted TrueCrypt drive before disconnecting the USB media, etc.
Know more...
Command line to safe removal
USB Safely Remove has a powerful and convenient command line: usr.exe. It allows you to automate work with devices. For example, you can automatically stop devices according to schedule or in case of any other event. In addition the command line tool of "USB Safely Remove" allows to "return device back".
Know more...
Work with any hot-plug devices - USB, SATA, FireWire, PCMCIA
Another important difference between the program and the standard Safely Remove Hardware icon is the possibility to see and stop
any kinds of hotplug devices
. If USB Safely Remove does not display the device you need, try enabling the "Display all storage devices" checkbox in the program options.
Stopping via "disabling"
Some kinds of external devices (e.g. SATA drives from Silicon Image), are true hot-plug devices. However, their drivers do not support the "safe removal" function. Such devices are not displayed in the native safe removal tool and can be stopped only via disabling in the Device Manager. It is a tiresome way, because it requires many actions to do, moreover you must enable the device manually after you connect it next time.
Not only does USB Safely Remove allow you to stop such devices, it also detects automatically what devices must be "safely removed" and which devices must be "disabled." Also, the program enables the "disabled" device automatically on its next connection, thus it makes working with the device absolutely the same as with a usual device.
Ejecting memory cards rather than the card reader
If you had safely removed a card reader, you would need to physically reconnect it in order to make it work with cards again (or to use "Return device back" feature of the program). In the case of two or more memory cards connected to the card reader at the same time, they all become unavailable in the system after you stop the card reader. USB Safely Remove lets you eject memory cards one-by-one. Moreover, if the memory card was locked by any processes, the program would display these "locking" processes as well as it does on failure to stop a whole device.
Hiding drives of empty card reader slots
Do you have a card reader with several slots? If you said "yes", you would likely use only one memory card at a time, however your card reader creates up to four drives in your system. It may be annoying because you are required to spend more time finding the memory card drive among other "empty" card reader drives.
USB Safely Remove rids you of this problem - the program can hide "empty" card reader drives automatically!
Know more...
Return Device Back!
After you had stopped the device, but still did not unplug it, sometimes it is quite useful to return it back into the system. For example if you remembered that you forgot to write a file to the external drive. In order to do it, you have to physically reconnect the device, however sometimes it's quite inconvenient to do, e.g. if the device is connected to the rear panel of the computer.
USB Safely Remove is the first Windows program that allows you to return stopped device back!
Power off drives on stopping
When you stop the device Windows 10 leaves USB ports powered on. This causes the flash drive continue lighting and the hard drive continue spinning. All modern hard drives park theirs heads automatically when you unplug them so in theory this behavior shouldn't lead to data looses or drive damages. But in practice the hard drive usually sound strangely when you unplug them on run and this makes a hard drive owner being a bit nervous when he hears that. USB Safely Remove can change this behavior and allow you to power off the device on its stopping.
Other optional features:
System tray icon hiding when there are no devices to be stopped
Displaying volume labels instead of device names
Let you manage drive letters
Ability to mount storage devices as an NTFS folder
Exploring device drives in an alternative file manager (e.g. Total Commander)
Let you prevent Windows from assigning specified drive letters to hot-plug devices
And many more...

Pitch counts taking toll on staffs, particularly in bad-weather times
It was inevitable. The new pitch-count limits are starting to affect baseball teams, particularly as the weather worsens.
And with perhaps as many as six days of wet, cold weather due into next week, in-state teams will get to repeat the process at least one more time before the beginning of the postseason.
Teams entered the 2016 season with the following rules — a player who throws 35 pitches in a game doesn't have to have any rest; 36-60 pitches, one day of rest; 61-85, two days of rest; and 86-110, three days of rest.
While most coaches are in agreement that pitch counts shouldn't be considered as a hard-and-fast rule — they realize kids don't have universal arm abilities — they also are discovering that pitch-count limitations are problems when teams get backed up in scheduling, which is virtually a certainty in Colorado's fickle conditions in the spring season.
